New year, new us. Like nature, we’ve transformed to survive and even thrive in a reality beyond our wildest dreams. We’ve learned to indulge in new luxuries: time with loved ones, time spent outside, and perhaps most importantly, time with ourselves. As we embrace a new year, our Color of the Season captures our nostalgic longing for harmony, comfort, joy, and yes, a bit of glamour.
Like Velvet Jade, we find ourselves somewhere between melancholic blues and hopeful yellows these days. This Color of the Season is about our vigor to flourish, set soulful intentions, and reconnect with life despite the circumstances.
