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: Braiding

Design Meets Fashion: Spring Florals 2013
Spring is around the corner and I’m excited to start buying this season’s bright botanicals and leaving my fall/winter pieces behind. This outfit by H&M is a sign of what’s to come! (Images via Mokkasin & H&M Magazine.)
