Design Meets Fashion: Marrakesh
One of my favorite trends of 2013 is the reemergence of Moroccan motifs. Its mix of European, African and middle-eastern cultures is prevalent in its design, creating an eclectic and worldly style. (Images via Parlour & Pinterest.)
Design Meets Fashion: Knits
Claire-Anne O’Brien is an Irish textile designer who knits these incredible stools, with textures and techniques that are certifiably unique and beautiful. Her style speaks to the knit trends happening in the fashion world, where sweaters are becoming more playful and creative in terms of the patterns and fabrications. I just adore a sweater with [...]
Design Meets Fashion: Blue Velvet
One word that encapsulates what I love about fall & winter is velvet. Rich, warm, and elegant, velvet pairs well with other fabrics and radiates light like no other. For the home pair it with linens, leather and knits; for fashion pair it with lace, satin, denim and leather. Small touches of it work well [...]
Design Meets Fashion: Black & Blue
One of my absolute favorite color combinations in black and blue. For years I was told that blue (especially navy) and black just don’t mesh, but that couldn’t be farther from the truth. The two balance each other like members of the same shade, the black grounding the blues while the blues adding a subtle [...]
Design Meets Fashion: Polka Dots
I can’t help but love polka dots. No matter the season or trends, the classic and youthful print always makes its way into my wardrobe in some form or another. Now I’m looking to introduce polka dots to my office as well, and this room is my inspiration. Decor like this reminds you of how [...]
Design Meets Fashion: Horse Prints
Chic and fun equestrian prints are everywhere right now, from dresses to wallpaper, and they add a playful feel to a room or an outfit. But while the prints work well as a major piece of clothing, in a room it’s best to stick to smaller pieces, like just one wall or a few decorative [...]
Design Meets Fashion: Exotic
Sometimes I’ll see something as simple as a door and want to redesign an entire room or outfit around it’s theme. This was the case when I saw this beautiful Indian door. The mix of floral and geometric patterns with a blend of light blues, oranges and pinks took me right back to some of [...]
Design Meets Fashion: A Touch Of Romance
Romantic accents like a beautiful beaded necklace and floral moldings are a great way to add a bit of drama. I adore how this otherwise preppy and simple J. Crew outfit is transformed with a bauble necklace and messy hair. And how the beautiful Swedish apartment has vintage modern furniture but then feels romantic with [...]
Design Meets Fashion: Chevron Prints
A big spring/summer 2011 style trend is bold stripes, and one way to take it a step further is with chevron stripes. What I love about chevron stripes is that unlike straight stripes, they play with the eye in a way that creates movement and is also more flattering. Paired with soft pastels or bright [...]
