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 [...]
Design Meets Fashion: Asian Floral Prints
One trend that reemerges every few years is Asian floral prints, specifically delicate flowers, birds, dragons and bamboo on silk. However wild, the history of the designs makes them elegant and timeless. Used sparingly or layered on top of each other, they are a great way to add texture and playfulness to a room or [...]
Design Meets Fashion: Blue & Gray
If I had to choose two colors I love to pair together, they would be blues with grays. Depending on the tones, you can create a lot of different moods from the pairing no matter the medium, from a funky modern tiled floor to a cheerful city outfit. (Images via At Home At Home & [...]
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 [...]
