Design Meets Fashion: Faceted in Black
I have an affection for geometric multi-faceted shapes that stems from my childhood love of origami. Although shapes like dodecahedrons are covered with fine edges and surfaces that feel modern, they are also inherently organic and natural, and a lovely break from the traditional square, rectangle and triangle.

Design Meets Fashion: Honeycomb
With beekeeping on the rise, it’s no wonder that designing with honeycomb patterns is emerging as well. I love these DIY honeycomb shelves from A Beautiful Mess–a unique way to curate some of your favorite objects. (Images via A Beautiful Mess & Emma Stine.)
Design Meets Fashion: Tropical Colors
Now that April showers are behind us, it’s time to really break out some color! Though I tend to a minimalist palette, it’s tropical spaces such as this that inspire me to add some brights to my décor and closet, adding a fun and cheerful vibe. (Images via The Berry & French Frosting.)
Design Meets Fashion: Red & White
There is something sort of striking about pairing red and white, even when it’s subdued as in this simple bedroom. I love how powerful of a color red is, whether in the details (ie. pillows) or a major part of an outfit. In an otherwise timid palette it can really brighten a room or look [...]
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: Mountains Upon Mountains
As winter approaches each year, I always try to plan a trip up to the snowy mountains of Lake Tahoe. When I saw this friendly sweater from Swallow’s Return, it made me excited for the winter, for hot cocoa and crisp cold air and charming woodsy environments. And I love that despite the snow on [...]
Design Meets Fashion: Midnight Glamour
As I’ve said time and time again, I am a sucker for black and white and everything in between. So when I saw this gorgeous dress by Dries van Noten I swooned. There is a fun patchwork DIY quality to the dress (despite how well made I’m certain it is) with the contrasting fabrics inserts [...]
Design Meets Fashion: Deep Purple
One thing I’ve learned since naming my daughter Violet is that people have a serious passion for purple. Color psychologists believe that purple encourages creativity while having a calming effect. I think of it as a feminine yet sophisticated color that is somewhat unexpected, especially in décor. I love how stylist Marianne Cotterill used purple [...]
Design Meets Fashion: Color Blocking
Whether color blocking is wearing a solid orange blouse with solid pink pants or a multi-colored dress, it is a trend that is flourishing right now (and also one that keeps coming back in style). When I saw this yellow wall on Côté Maison, I saw how well color blocking can translate into home design. [...]
Design Meets Fashion: Turquoise
With summer soon approaching it’s time to brighten things up a bit, and there are few better colors than turquoise. Whether it’s mixed with other fun colors or against a simple white background, it instantly conjures up thoughts of tropical beaches and summertime. Whether it’s a pillow, a wall, a skirt or a necklace, turquoise [...]
