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: Exotic
Sometimes I’ll see something as simple as a door and want to redesign an entire room or outfit around it’s theme. This was the case when I saw this beautiful Indian door. The mix of floral and geometric patterns with a blend of light blues, oranges and pinks took me right back to some of [...]
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: Pastel Party
There’s little more feminine and flirty then pink and I love the idea of blending different tints to create a palette for a room, an outfit or a party. With pops of orange and or yellow, it’s cheerful, playful and fun. (Images via DM Designs and Seesaw.)
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: The Masculine
One of the hardest things to do is to create a home that suits you and your partner’s styles, especially when you want to blend the masculine and the feminine so that both people feel at home in a space. Keeping a neutral color palette and seeking out mod furniture is a safe bet in [...]
Design Meets Fashion: Black & White
Modern and minimalist, black and white is an easy combination to work with and makes getting dressed or decorating much simpler. If you’re a photography enthusiast, black and white photographs are a great way to add texture to a space. And you can add many pieces without a wall or room ever feeling cramped. Sticking [...]
Design Meets Fashion: Vintage Palette
I love this yellowy-green and cream palette. It’s unusual yet natural and feels incredibly vintage at the same time. Looking to vintage prints and fashion is a great way to find inspiration and unique color palettes. (Images via SFGirlBytheBay and Sacramento Street.)
Design Meets Fashion: Blue & White
If there’s one color combination that is always classic and beautiful it’s blue and white. Whether it’s royal blue or navy, when paired with white it can feel Grecian, French or truly American depending on they style in which they are used. If you’ve found your home covered in white furniture (perhaps at the fault [...]
