Design Meets Fashion: Caramel & Black
Two colors I’m loving together right now are caramel and black. Even though these classics pair seamlessly together, the contrast between the light rich brown and black is a bit unexpected. (Images via The Design Files & Jeffrey Campbell.)
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: Wicked Black & Orange
Happy Halloween! In celebration of this spooky holiday, I found two examples of good uses of black and orange used together. While orange interiors usually connote images of the Brady Bunch, this modern sofa and surrounding decor is decidedly cool and Zen. And paired with rust orange shoes, orange sweater with black jeans are surprisingly [...]
Design Meets Fashion: Minimalist Color Blocking
One of my favorite artists is Ellsworth Kelly, a minimalist artist whose paintings typically contain large color blocked canvases. Though Kelly tends to use bright primary colors, this bedroom reminded me of his work. The gray painted over light pink creates new shapes while reaffirming the beauty in simple forms. In fashion, this style of [...]
Design Meets Fashion: Studs
Everywhere I look, studs are popping up on pillows, bags, shoulders. What was once reserved for headboards and small detailing has become a fantastic embellishment that elevates a piece from simple to edgy and eclectic. And what’s great about studs is that they are easy to do yourself. Just take some glue or a stud [...]
Design Meets Fashion: The Clear Trend
Lucite furniture has been on trend for awhile, and now there are the shoes to match. Designers are coming out with tons of new styles of clear clothing and furniture that is as sophisticated as it is fun. While clear shoes will always feel a bit 1980s to me, clear furniture–especially when paired with natural [...]
Design Meets Fashion: Dog Prints
When I first saw this wallpaper by Lisa Bengtsson Tillsammans at the modern Scandinavian store Huset in Venice, I thought, “Could the dog really be the next horse?” Whereas horse prints stem from a more elitist equestrienne love, a passion for dogs is much more mainstream, down to earth and–at times–comes with a dose of [...]
Design Meets Fashion: Agate
The use of agate in design is getting more and more incredible. What started as chunky jewelry and lamp bases has transformed into thin sliced pieces of agate inlayed into walls or surrounded by precious metal in order to highlight the beautiful design in the natural stones. I absolutely adore this bathroom, don’t you?! (Images [...]
Design Meets Fashion: Texture
Both this fantastic dining room/kitchen and adorable photo of Arizona Muse are great examples of how texture can take something basic and really make it pop! Without the dramatic twig chandelier, the dining area would be nice, but not nearly as eye-catching and memorable. The same goes with Arizona’s basic black outfit, which is one [...]
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 [...]
