gray and burgundy


I knew I was going to love Scarlett and Natalie together in The Other Boleyn Girl. I didn't expect to love their color trend. Burgundy is still on my mind, of course. I wondered if the colors would translate into a cohesive inspiration board. What do you think?

ooooh! These colors blend beautifully. Burgundy is deep, yet soft, and the gray sits next to it very well. Great idea!

loving it! it's sort of close to the cranberry and gray board that anne made but not exactly. i think the burgandy is a little richer and i like the elegant look it gives.

I love the colors - but Scarlett & Natalie are so skinny! They have matching pointed chins!
