but this girl would rather be hot than cold any-day, so usually the longer summer - the better! 

however, as i navigated pinterest this past week i have notice an increasing number of  

f a l l / a u t u m n  pins appearing on my feed.  i'll admit it, the idea of cool days, crisp evenings, sweaters,

 thick socks and long nights in front of a fire, sounds rather inviting 

- especially as we struggle through 100+ degree temps 

- for me though, that pseudo idealistic picture is months away! 

in order to reconcile those long-dog-days-of-summer, i decided to make a 

c o l o r / m o o d   b o a r d  

to keep me hanging on until the cooler/crisper days appear. 

it was also some self appointed homework to further my adobe illustrator cs6 education.
