Design Meets Fashion: Braiding
One of my favorite textures is braiding, whether it’s thick woven jute rugs or beautifully patterned hair styles. It’s a wonderful way to add warmth and eclectic flair. (Images via Pinterest.)
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.
