Design Meets Fashion: Sequins
You know the holidays are near when you see sequins everywhere. And though I was never a little girl who loved sparkly things, I’m a grown woman who loves sparkly things. From sequin trim to a bold gold sequin jacket, I love how fun and sexy sequins are, not to mention festive and classic. For [...]
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: Horse Prints
Chic and fun equestrian prints are everywhere right now, from dresses to wallpaper, and they add a playful feel to a room or an outfit. But while the prints work well as a major piece of clothing, in a room it’s best to stick to smaller pieces, like just one wall or a few decorative [...]
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: Crochet
Crochet is a fast growing trend in fashion and interiors, and I adore how fresh and new it looks. Whether it’s colorful or in a soft neutral, it’s a great way to add texture to an outfit or a room. (Images via Gallop Lifestyle & Rue Mag.)

Design Meets Fashion: A Touch Of Romance
Romantic accents like a beautiful beaded necklace and floral moldings are a great way to add a bit of drama. I adore how this otherwise preppy and simple J. Crew outfit is transformed with a bauble necklace and messy hair. And how the beautiful Swedish apartment has vintage modern furniture but then feels romantic with [...]
Design Meets Fashion: Chevron Prints
A big spring/summer 2011 style trend is bold stripes, and one way to take it a step further is with chevron stripes. What I love about chevron stripes is that unlike straight stripes, they play with the eye in a way that creates movement and is also more flattering. Paired with soft pastels or bright [...]
Design Meets Fashion: Wild Prints
Stripes and bright colors and birds, oh my! Anytime you mix the unexpected it creates a wild, fun and playful feel. Though most would avoid such an extreme mix of pattern in their home, spaces such as this one above can be an inspiration for how creative you can be. The same goes with the [...]
