When my youngest son comes home from school he shows me his little book of Wow words.
These are new, exciting words which will enhance his vocabulary.
And I love finding new wow words too.
My wow word of the moment is Cerulean.
I watched The Devil Wears Prada at the weekend and listened to Miranda's rant about Andreas' lump blue sweater.
I looked it up - probably most of you know already - and loved the word.
Cerulean may be applied to a range of hues from deep blue, sky-blue, bright blue or azure through to greenish blue.
Apparently the word is probably derived from the Latin word caeruleus, "dark blue, blue or blue-green", which in turn probably derives from caelulum, diminutive of caelum, "heaven, sky".
Then, just as always - the word is everywhere.
Kasmira is having a Cerulean Week.
I also discovered I had a Cerulean cardigan too.
Just like Michelle!

Oooh, that cerulean sweater is smashing. I like the ensemble paired with the knee-high boots.
What a fun blog! You have a new follower!
Nice! And matching (or closely relating) the color of the boots, tights, skirt make for a longer look.

I love Imogen's outfits she choose for you, so adorable!
Love your Michelle style too...I wore my big pearls necklace yesterday with a sweater and skirt and felt a Michelle vibe!
Another great outfit, Jane. Cerulean is a perfect colour for you! Loved the Devil wears Prada. Meryl Streep is magnificent in it as usual. Imogen's outfits for you are so great! Ciao. A.
What a great outfit on you! You look so amazing with a defined waist like that.
Imogen's polyvore is great! Can't wait to see your theme week next week!
Oh, and cerulean is one of my favourite words - I learned to oil paint when I was about 7 years old. Cerulean is a particular shade of blue when it comes to paint: like the deepest blue of the sky on a summer day.
I loved that rant in Devil wears Prada - one of my favourite part of the movie.
You look great as ever!
Very nice outfit and great colour on you.
I love that part of the movie too. I just love the whole movie!!!looks great!
I love this look -- and this is another color that looks great on you. But the supa-fab belt just puts the outfit over the top -- fantastic! I wish I had a belt like that.
