'... that's the colour of my room, where I will live..' I love that Bowie song, and have been singing it in my head, ever since I took this shot of my friend Claire's blue wedge espadrille sandals, which she got 'somewhere in Fulham, in a little shop.' It's a colour that's been popping up all over town (and in the Hamptons, so presumably elsewhere, too). It's like what I used to call 'Greek blue' but then it hit me: it's 80s, glam rock, 'electric blue!' And it's such a great little accent colour: on Ray Bans, in patterns.. it makes a nice transition accent colour into fall. Below a sneak preview of a post I'm quite happy about: another brilliant group of style icons.
On the off chance that anyone actually clicks on my youtube links (I must ask my blog friends: how do you imbed them as boxes??) here is Moby requesting the song, on 'live by request', it's quite cute, and here's Bowie performing Sound & Vision. Play at your own risk: I can't get it out of my head!

i adore blue color aside from green.
it really looks good how her blue cardigan matches her shoes
and sunglasses.
huh! i haven't been logged in to my youtube for a long.
i feel so bad I can't help you.
but i'm sure there are lot of fellow bloggers to help.
p.s yup, those pics aren't from NH. They were taken in
Wompatuck State Park.
electric blue....you're so right about it being an 80s glam color. i recall a particular linen and silk skirt i had, 1984...i knew the cut wasn't the most flattering, but i almost wore it out, i loved that color soooo much!
fast forward to now, i only wear electric blue as an accent.
this girl looks lovely in her blue- it really flatters her coloring. the sunglasses are pure fun!
Electric blue is always an amazing shade. It makes enough of an impact ot turn heads without being ultra bright. Love the pairing of electric blue accessories and footwear here. Gorgeous photos, Dot - you really brought out the true spirit of the subject; she's so happy! :)
By the way, thank you for the award - you're the sweetest! :)
For some reason...I have really really REALLY been getting into this color. Not just because of this post but also I have seen some people wearing this color and I can't help but think "What a cool attractive color!" The shoes...wow I love them! I also love the Ray Bans!
check out my trendy blog!

Hi Birk,
Sorry: I try to reply to everyone, and I read everyone's lovely comments - thank you all so much! - but it might have slipped thru the cracks when we were away. Would you mind sending it again? jill@haybooks.com thanks. I did just look at your site and it looks great: I've linked you on street style blogs under 'hanover', and thank you for linking me! But please do email me about anything.

If you think that shot is good, wait til you see the group she was with! Will post it later. xoxo
