Design Meets Fashion: Black Floral Designs
I can’t get over how beautiful these floral designs are with black backgrounds. They are luxurious and feminine while also very sophisticated. I love the idea of having one piece of furniture in a floral print, don’t you? (Images from SFGirlbytheBay via FFFFound & Wit & Delight.)
Design Meets Fashion: High Drama
Much in the same way Dior Haute Couture can be theatrical, so too can an interior when you do something as simple as choose one deep intense color and fill the room with it. I love the high drama of this deep black-blue bedroom just as I adore the My Fair Lady-esque qualities of Dior’s [...]
Design Meets Fashion:
One thing I love about winter is wearing lots of layers with different textures, especially in just one or two colors. It’s luxurious but understated and natural. The same technique of mixing different textures in a simple palette works great for the bathroom and kitchen as well, where you can mix stone and wood with [...]
Design Meets Fashion: Contemporary Simplicity
Happy New Year! Did you make any resolutions? One of mine is to simplify…everything. Over the holidays my husband and I stayed in a contemporary minimalist flat and it reminded me that simple and uncluttered is much easier to manage. So in an effort to keep up with my resolutions, I’m baring down the clutter [...]
Design Meets Fashion: Fresh Take
While perusing the Nov/Dec issue of Lonny Mag, I found this lovely Manhattan apartment designed by Celerie Kemble. What I like about the dining room in particular is the use of new and vintage pieces, simple lines and minimalism. It’s the type of decor that works well on any budget by mixing high end and [...]
Design Meets Fashion: Black & Brown
Black & brown are colors that work together beautifully, creating a rich palette that is modern and stylish. The key to mixing them well is to use different textures for each color, such as these black walls with wood sitting or black cotton blazer with tan suede shorts.

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: Triangles
One trend that has exploded is the use of triangles in everything from prints to silhouettes to wallpaper. I love the use of triangles especially in Native American-esque prints, blending the natural with the geometric. This wall treatment gives a great sense of how fabulous and unique triangular patterns can look, while the dress is [...]
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: Leather
Welcome to fall! One of my favorite things about the weather turning cold again is that it’s a chance to really layer up and wear some incredible fabrics, like leather. And I’m swooning over this outfit and room, both of which blend brown and black seemlessly while also displaying gorgeous uses of leather. Almost makes [...]
