Design Meets Fashion: Kantha
One of my all time favorite fabrics to work with and use is kantha. Kantha actually refers to a type of embroidery used widely in India and Pakistan, but it’s also used to describe the fabric and blankets made from used saris and stitched together using said stitch. So not only are kantha fabrics eco [...]
Design Meets Fashion: Honeycomb
With beekeeping on the rise, it’s no wonder that designing with honeycomb patterns is emerging as well. I love these DIY honeycomb shelves from A Beautiful Mess–a unique way to curate some of your favorite objects. (Images via A Beautiful Mess & Emma Stine.)
Design Meets Fashion: Pops of Blue
When I want a pop of color, blue is my go-to. It’s decidedly neutral, yet modern, uplifting and fun. Plus you can pair modern blue pieces with more traditional and natural materials and it creates a beautiful juxtaposition. (Images via Pinterest & Poketo.)
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: Knits
Claire-Anne O’Brien is an Irish textile designer who knits these incredible stools, with textures and techniques that are certifiably unique and beautiful. Her style speaks to the knit trends happening in the fashion world, where sweaters are becoming more playful and creative in terms of the patterns and fabrications. I just adore a sweater with [...]
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: Burgundy
One color I love to incorporate into my wardrobe over the holidays is a deep red or burgundy. What I love about burgundy is that unlike true red, burgundy is interesting while also subtle, decidedly wintery but also pretty universal. And one of my favorite fabrics in burgundy is velvet because it has an amazingly [...]
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: 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: 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 [...]
