Crushing on: saffron yellow

Totally crushing on shades of saffron, especially this deep yellowish, slightly bitter goldenrod hue that these ladies are finessing...
Isabella Rossellini in her saffron yellow gown and bee motif wrap...
like Lena Dunham in her Zac Posen gown...
Kirsten Dunst in her pretty Chloe dress...
 Saffron Burrows in Herve Leroux...
Michelle Williams in Vera Wang...
 Lea Michele in this stunning strapless number...
 and Mariska Hargitay in Carolina Herrera...
this stylish lady has the right idea...
And for me, this little saffron yellow / antique gold pleated cami dress by H&M. But really, what could be more perfect for summer than saffron?
and here's a saffron yellow / mustard cardigan that might go well with it...

Japanese Scarves

These two exquisite Japanese scarves in jewel tones were gifts from work associates...

I love the way that this saffron colored scarf is so reminiscent of washi papers from which one makes Origami treasures! I always thought that the background was a mustard yellow, but it could really be considered a saffron, couldn't it?


This one is in teal / seafoam / sage / mint...I forgot I had this one!
gorgeous colours!

Indian Sweets...

Every so often I have a real penchant for Indian sweets, aka. "mitthai" which are super sweet and calorific...


so I settled for these three: top left - laddoo(cardamum, saffron), top right - burfi(milky, cardamum), and bottom - jalebi(a saffron funnle cake dipped in a sugary syrup); try some!

Thrifting...saffrons, yellows, oranges and reds...

just a few ensembles featuring saffrons, yellows, oranges and reds...
a very cute mustard floral skirt
 and I love that it has magenta flowers...
gorgeous!
this cognac bag would team well...
loving this bright mustard floral dress...
what a gorgeous print!
loving these mustard floral pants...
this cute mustard yellow waterfall cardigan would team well...
 love the saffron yellow hue...
this mustard / goldenrod tee isn't bad either...
perhaps this bright saffron tee...
and this goldenrod maxi skirt...
 I also like the goldenrod golden yellow of this daisy print dress...
a very vintage looking print...
this saffron scarf...
this very Provençale like yellow, white and blue floral skirt...
with which I created a blue / white / yellow ensemble with a navy knit shrug and bandana...

the provencal print yellow skirt would also team well with a yellow denim jacket like this one...
a gorgeous .99 cent bandana apparently made for the skirt it's being paired with!

and this really cute navy blue crochet flat would go with it perfectly!

and these these Midnight Magic glitterpuss shoes for instant glam...
A multi-color medical uniform, also known as a "scrub," paired with yellow and orange belts and a multi-color necklace...
the scrub around 2.50, the belts are under 2.50 each and the necklace bought on clearance for around a dollar!
a saffron yellow shirt bought for 2.20 at a fave thrift store, paired with a crimson patent leather belt(Calvin Kline!) 2.50 with homemade head band!
headband/scarf and patent leather belt detail...
a buttery yellow knit top, homemade scarf and teal/turquoise snakeskin belt-thrifted!
amazing just how well this teal belt goes with the necklace I made...

these blonde tortoiseshell sunglasses...
this lemongrass yellow satchel...
a bright yellow shopping bag-going green!
other yellow, blue white tidbits, and bags including the Clinic bag in a golden marigold/sage/white and Estee Lauder's golden disco bag!

and it all goes well with this lemon yellow jade...
this saffron coloured amber necklace...
 this rustic yellow jasper strand...
 and this yellow aventurine...
looks like honey!
