Design Meets Fashion: Tan Leather
Tan leather is the perfect balance between fall textures and sunny winters by the beach. I love how it pairs so easily with black and white, while also balancing dark jewel tones like burgundy and forest green. I think it has a quintessential California vibe to it! Don’t you think?

Design Meets Fashion: Bohemian Summer
It’s hard not to be a Californian and love the Bohemian style of the late 60s, especially in the summertime. The musical scene, beaches and constant sunshine frequently make me want to buy shag carpeting and wear crochet. But instead of going out head to toe, floor to ceiling, you can mix these pieces with [...]
Design Meets Fashion: Triangle Patterns
The triangle trend continues…but in a more patterned optically appealing sort of way. I love the idea of taking a panel of furniture and incorporating it either with wallpaper or paint so that if you get sick of it you can refresh it with something new! (Images via Pinterest & Secret Squirrel.)
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: Cool Pastels
I love finding a unique palette, especially when it’s deliberate. And this cool palette of mint & turquoise and pale yellows reminds me that you can find ways to mix multiple colors without looking over the top or silly. I also like that it feels very fresh & Californian. (Images via KML Design & Atlantic-Pacific.)
Design Meets Fashion: Purple
Since naming my daughter Violet, I’ve subconsciously been incorporating purple into my life more. From eating purple cauliflower to wearing a purple dress, I suddenly have a serious case of purple passion! The more I use purple, the more I love it. Purple is a cheerful and vibrant color that pairs well with most other [...]
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: Hello Yellow!
From rich mustards to fluorescents, yellow if popping up everywhere! Whether it’s your favorite color and you want to feature it in your home or want just touches of it, it’s a great color to add a bright, cheerful mood to a space or outfit…and it has California style written all over it.
