I'm blue da ba dee da ba die

So I'm a pretty big BLUE fan. There was actually a period of my life where almost every shirt I wore was blue. No joke. Now a days, I'm all about the black, greys, whites etc, but the only color that really makes a normal appearance?? You guessed it: BLUE. But I'm not the only one who loves BLUE....
Valeria "ValBlu" McCulloch was featured in a New York Magazine article on 5 new yorkers who wear nothing but a single color. She says she wears nothing but Yves Klein Blue which isn't entirely true...but you can't get that shade perfectly every time...
I know it's pretty intense. She actually has to PAINT her shoes BLUE. That's called dedication to the color BLUE.
Oh wait you don't know what Yves Klein Blue is? You don't know who Yves Klein is? Actually? He's the "Blue Guy"...

he legitimately created his own shade of blue (International Klein Blue or IKB) which he copyrighted and everything. He died, but now his wife owns it.


LOVE IT!! BLUE never looked so good...






I was looking through my Vogue Spring/Summer '10 collections book, and came across Giorgio Armani's collection. There was ALL THIS BEAUTIFUL BLUE. And not just any blue, but a beautiful shade and usually...in a silk (right?) material. I have a blue silk shirt and wear it ALL THE TIME. It's one of my favorite shirts...Soooo here's some lovely looks from Armani's show in Milan...of course featuring BLUE
