This or That: Creamsicle

Creamsicles were among my favorite treats as a kid. The sweet refreshment is the epitome of summer. Not only do they taste delicious and cool you down on a warm day, but the distinctive orange and white color combination is so aesthetically pleasing.

... meets its carry on counterpart in this J.Crew overnight bag.

This or That: Bright Orange

Orange has officially become my spring color. After a visit to Zara and two H&M's on Sunday, I'm now the proud owner of a pair of skinny orange trousers. It was quite the exhilarating shopping experience, darting into stores and trying to spot a single vibrant hue. In celebration of all things orange:

This delicious orange rock candy...

... to go with that bright Milly shift.

This or That: Raspberry Sorbet

When it comes to desserts, I've yet to meet a dish I didn't immediately like. I'm especially partial to ice creams and their cousin, sorbet. And if that sorbet happens to be raspberry, well... what's not to love? The smooth texture, brilliant color, and refreshingly sweet taste make for a spoon-worthy dessert.

This or That: Peppermint Ice Cream

I've always thought it a shame that peppermint ice cream is largely a seasonal flavor. When I was younger, I begged my mom to stock the freezer with as many tubs as possible, only to be disappointed come February when the last of the supply was diminished. To this day, my obsession with seasonal ice cream flavors (pumpkin around Thanksgiving, etc.) continues to amuse my friends. In honor of my favorite winter flavor:

... and an equally sweet plaid Lacoste shirt dress.

This or That: Roy Lichtenstein

Roy Lichtenstein was a prominent American pop artist. He was born on 27th October 1923, and later died on 29th September 1997. He was inspired by popular advertising and comic books, which played a profound role in the formation of his widely recognized style. In 1961 Lichtenstein began creating paintings using cartoon images and techniques derived from the appearance of commercial printing. His work reflects consumerism and served as a parody of modern life. Lichtenstein's most popular piece of work is "Whaam", which is featured in the Tate Modern art galley in London, England.

This or That: Rainbows

Rabbit, rabbit! I can't believe it's already December; this year is flying by so quickly. To celebrate the start of the month, I thought I'd kick off a "this or that" feature on the blog. Basically, it will be the occasional post of two or more items that remind me of each other. Hope you enjoy!

These tantalizing, colorful macaroons...

... would go perfectly with this rainbow hued Jonathan Saunders sweater.

May your December be off to a great start!
