the vibrant colours of food {colour me happy}

It’s Friday so it is time for another edition of colour me happy! I still haven’t decided if this feature will always have a theme but for this week, I decided to focus on the vibrant colours of food and food styling. I think I was inspired when I saw a photo of that incredible pasta. From the unexpected brilliant magenta of beets to the bold yolk of an egg to the soft dusty white of baguettes, there is so much amazing colour in food. I hope to revisit this topic often!

A fabulous collection of beautiful food and another perfect subject for the Friday Colour me Happy feature. I now have a serious craving for a selection of cheese! Thanks for a great week of inspiration!
