Earth Tones: A Summer's Peak at Autumn

A morning stroll, a look at the sock/shoe combo in the Club Monaco Window on 57th Street, and a color story was born. We adore mixing warm and cool earth tones; granite and camel, mushroom with slate, bronze on pumice. The references are everywhere, from dumpsters to store windows. Here's what we found...
