A collection of transformation, identity, and the stories that shape who we become.
THE BOOK of BECOMING
a living collection
After months of intense work, we are less than two weeks away from launching our new Website, Blog and Store! The countdown has started!
I can’t tell you how excited I am! This has been one of the toughest, scariest and EXCITING projects ever.
For one thing, the designers convinced me to branch out from my colors: pink and chocolate brown. (talk about a roller coaster of emotions–AAH! Pain. Change. Pain. Unsure. Excited. Nervous. Really? Wait! Ooooh! Ahhhh! Wow!)
Welcome to the new color pallet for Me Ra Koh! Pink and brown are still prevalent, but we’ve got some fun new accent colors to play with!

Here is a sneak peak at how the designers are mixing the colors!

I’m only showing you a pinch because we’re not totally done. But I still want you to see a sneak peak so you have an idea of what is coming! The Website, Blog and Store are all getting an incredible face lift! Change is always scary for me, but this feels really good inside.
What do you think so far? (as I bite my fingernails! :))
xoxo, Me Ra
p.s. More next week about who our amazing design/web team is and this crazy process of refining our brand!

Can I just give you all the BIGGEST HUG!!! Thank you SO MUCH for your amazing encouragement! You have no idea how much it means. This process has been so stressful for me, and I’m so lucky to have an amazing design team that has stuck through it with me.
After getting your feedback today, I’m that much more excited to show you the whole thing! I never expected this many comments–seriously, if you could only se my smile. (and Brian sitting next to me going “I told you so Me Ra.” :))
Oooooh, now you have me so excited! I can’t wait! There are going to be features on the site that are going to be so exciting for all of us! I wish it was live today!
Thanks to every person who has left an encouraging word today–you have no idea, NO IDEA, how much you gave!

You always find a way to inspire the blossom! Can’t wait to see the full bloom. 😉

Looks really good. Great color choices. Not replacing, but rather extending a brand that has to this point served you well.
Well done.
November 7th, 2009 at 5:09 pm
Wonderful colors!!! I’m excited to see the final results.
November 7th, 2009 at 8:41 pm
OOOO LOVE the raspberry color!!! The little pinch looks so bright and lively and yet with that warm comfort of what made you recognizable (the pink and chocolate). 🙂 How’d you find a blouse to coordinate? So cute!!
Can’t wait to see the rest! And selfishly… I’m kind of happy to see the colors I chose for me new branding are on the upswing. 🙂 But don’t look at my site for them… oh my, it’s really rough right now.
