Fall is finally here and the warm weather is dwindling. There’s a chill in the air even though the sun still peeks through the clouds. Everything is all autumn-y with brown, red and orange hues at the beginning of the month. That is quickly replaced to everything black, spooky and frightening for Halloween by mid-month. October represents beauty & mysticism, for no one knows which way its days will eventually turn.
We can still see gorgeous pink and purple skies over a shadowy cast of trees with bare branches from fallen leaves by the end of the month. If we are lucky, we might get a sunny day here or there, hanging onto it’s last lifeline of warmth. The typical New England tease, that leaves us confused for what to wear each day. The summer sunshine is replaced with shorter days and cooler nights. It’s a little reminder to us that winter is right around the corner. Uggghhhhhh, that W word lol. But for now, let’s enjoy the chameleon like features of this month ahead.
It’s no wonder that the birthstone of this month is OPAL. Have you ever looked at this type of stone? With its iridescent quality, it takes on a new realm of peculiar beauty with the slightest movement of its holder. Something about the rarity & mystery of its appearance just like the 31 days it represents. Opals can come in all types of colors from black to red, green to blue to pink. The viewing angle and amount of light determines which color stands out more in each stone. The black opal is the rarest whereas the pink opal is more common. And this brings me to two of my fav colors…black & pink and the inspo for this months Kolor Me Karla Series.
PINK is all about love, affectionate, fun, playful, femininity & inner peace whereas BLACK represents power, mystery, fear, rebellion, authority, sophistication & formality. The intertwine of two very different colors that bring a powerful love for October’s secrecy, divinity & beauty. It’s a no brainer why I cherish these two colors and use them for my business 😉 (this website and The PowHER Collaborative).
Here’s to all things Pink & Black this month and here’s to celebrating October in full swing!! 🖤 💖
