Design Meets Fashion: Bohemian Lace
When I first saw this amazing Zara Hanging Pod Chair from New Zealand’s Cush & Nooks, I assumed it was from a local Californian brand. It perfectly captures California style with its Bohemian meets mod design. There is something so charming about white Bohemian lace! (Images via Cush & Nooks & Jeou.)
Design Meets Fashion: Modern Elegance
It’s a rainy week in California which has left me dreaming of sunshine, vacations and the Mediterranean sea. This beautiful image of a poolside lounge, citrus tree and all reminded me of this wonderful little vintage-inspired bikini. Both are modern mixed with mid-century touches, a perfect pairing especially in white and gold/beige! (Images via Löngrenn [...]
Design Meets Fashion: Using Black
Black is a color I use sparingly in my own home decor but that floods my closet. When I saw this inspirational photo with black rug, armoir and windows, I realized how fantastic black looks in a room. Much like this gorgeous dress by Victoria Beckham, black can work just as well as a canvas [...]
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: 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: 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: Mixed Palette
Sometimes it takes seeing an image to understand how one can mix colors that you’d otherwise not think to blend. On paper brown, gray, black, red and tan sound like they would clash, but when no one color overwhelms the palette, it’s clear that they can work beautifully together.

Design Meets Fashion: Shining Silver
Shining silver is an unpredictable piece both in decor and style. Mixed with more natural and soft materials, it becomes a fun and unique way to spice up an otherwise drab space or outfit without being over the top. I adore these “disco stairs” and the way the tiles sparkle against the aged wood. In [...]
Design Meets Fashion: White Lace
White lace is a fabric that is typically used in wedding dressings, but used in every day design it’s just as pretty, cheerful and elegant. From a vintage knit throw that mimics lace to a gorgeous lace dress, it brightens while adding texture and a touch of romance. (Images via Decor8 and Knight Cat.)
Design Meets Fashion: Ethnic & Organic
A great way to use a lot of texture and print but keep a relaxed and more down-to-earth Bohemian feel is to take ethnic prints and mix them with natural, organic pieces and shapes. Tory Burch’s 2011 Resort Collection and Roman Alonso of Commune’s home are great examples of this. Burch’s dress is chic and [...]
