PACKING A PALETTE
Labels:
color palettes
,fashion
,summer
,travel
Whenever I go on trips, I like to pack clothes in a similar palette so that I know I can mix and match pieces as I go. I'm just beginning to think about what to bring to Italy with me - but two weeks is a much longer time than a long weekend to consider just one color scheme! Which is why I may be taking some serious inspiration from this editorial as I select my wardrobe...
I love the mix of rich jewel tones with softer pastels and nudes - there's tons of color, and endless options of ways to mix them all. The hardest part may be what hue to choose for my mani pedi!

BLUE + WHITE FLORALS: GRANDMA OR GLAMOUR?
The combination of blue and white - especially come summer time - is nothing new. But this year it seems to be popping up even more, and in all sorts of patterns and trends. The most recent manifestation being of the granny-inspired variety...
Whenever I see blue and white florals, I instantly think of grandma's fine china. It's classic, but is it fresh? Can we make it modern and glamorous? I'm beginning to think it might be possible! With a heavy dose of white combined with clean lines to counteract the antiquated pattern, it could work. Would you try this trend?

ROOM OF THE WEEK: 5.26
Labels:
coral
,dining room
,interior design
,room of the week
,veranda
When blogger had it's little *ahem* 'accident' a couple weeks back, it deleted this Room of the Week post. So I brought it back! Because this room really is quite deserving, in my opinion...
There are a few colors I'm consistently drawn to wherever I go, and coral happens to be one of them (you may have noticed). I have loads of it in my wardrobe, but hardly any in my home. Every time I've tried to bring it in, it feels just a little too loud and overpowering. But I think I may have just found the solution...
Given a room all its own, the color blocking combination of coral and peach feels just right, and extremely fresh against all the white! I love the updated traditional styling of the room - simple rich wood chairs, beautiful white walls with lovely molding, and antique accents. Nothing too stuffy or over-the-top here. The addition of the potted urn atop the modern white column, however, might be the final piece pulling it all together. The room needs that dash of greenery to give it a softer, garden feel.
PS - If you hate the peach, you can swap it out - bonus!! What color or pattern would you rather see on the table?

FINA DU: LOVELY LITTLE DRESSES
Labels:

I'm over the moon for this new little online shop, Fina Du (which is 'lovely you' in Swedish!) that features beautiful pieces from Scandanavian designers.
They carry lines from the likes of well-known names like Malene Birger (a personal favorite - don't you want these beautiful summer dresses of hers?) as well as names being introduced to the US for the first time.
The dress on the top of my wishlist is the stunner on the left from designer Ida Sjöstedt. I am in LOVE with every little detail! Of course, for something a little more, um... subtle? The black piece is quite sweet.
The site also features gorgeous accessories and many other goodies. A must browse on this rainy afternoon!

COCO+KELLEY SPONSOR: CAMEO NOUVEAU
We have some pretty fantastic sponsors around here, but I'm really loving the selections at current sponsor Cameo Nouveau's pretty little shop...
The selections include both new and vintage, and are perfectly procured so you're not sifting through tons of product. The pillow is the perfect summer accent for a bit of playful color - I'm kinda wanting it for my currently all-white bed. Jewelry from Vanessa Mooney and Trina Turk? Also a must! Heck, every little thing here is on my wishlist. But don't take my word for it - go check out their shop for yourself!

INTERIORS TO INSPIRE: PASTEL PALACE
Labels:

,interior design
,interiors to inspire
,pastels
Ok so it's not really a palace, but it might as well be. This Parisian apartment (belonging to a Baroness - and a gift no less!) is absolutely dripping in soft pastels. But - before you prepare yourself for a too-sweet pied-à-terre - you'll be surprised to find a healthy dose of inky black for a little juxtaposition...
Lavender colored walls are a delight with dandelion trim, but the edgy stone table, dark floors and graphic carpeting are the perfect balance.
As we move to the living room the upholstery sings some sweet little blues (and violets!). Historical artwork, classical detailing, and an ocean colored accent wall keep the room sophisticated.
We won't forget the bedroom, because those walls are too good to keep a secret (the detail is even on the door!), the mood here is appropriately more serene, but pastels are still consistent in the lavender bedding.
To use this look to inspire a space, we'll use mostly solids (really the only large print is in the carpet), and mix in a healthy dose of black to a foundation of easy pastels.
Ohhhhh, how I love. I can see myself happily enjoying macaroons and the occasional glass of absinthe here, because it's half mystery and half sweet, don't you think?
Cheers!
-Julie

MAKING MY GETAWAY (IN CORAL + BLUE)
I warned you you're going to have to put up with a little pre-vacation dreaming and planning around here...
So, welcome to my first fantasy! I've got one last hotel to book on the Amalfi Coast, and I happened upon this one while perusing Mr&Mrs Smith last night. Welcome to Capo la Gala!
Their combination of modern decor with beachy flair and (hello!) those zig zag tiles in coral+blue put me over the edge! That headboard rivals the view, too!
Even the bathroom is done to perfection, incorporating coral tiles and high gloss surfaces in that same winning color combo.
And then, you know, there's this.
And this. So that's pretty cool too. Who wants to come with me?

GET THE LOOK: OLSEN INSPIRED SUITS + STRIPES
Labels:

Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen possess the type of personal style that is unique, innate, and always one step ahead of the trend. For the most part their day to day looks are an elusive mix of rare vintage finds and luxury items - in other words, totally and utterly unattainable!
Cristina from Fuji Files here to help recreate this simple suit and stripes look by shopping your very own wardrobe.
We're in luck this time ladies because MKA have broken it down for us and shown us how to wear the look in three different ways!
*shirt, shorts, & sandals Topshop, blazer Dion Lee, bracelet Tom Binns, clutch Reed Krakoff, sunglasses YSL
If a coral suit is too bold opt for a light neutral this summer, and if you don't own a light suit just recycle your basic black! Many of us already own a blazer, stripes, and sandals making it extra easy to recreate this look for free. Roll up your jacket sleeves to keep the look casual (the girls even rolled up their pant legs), and add heels to take this look from day tonight!

Remember last week's post on these gorgeous marbleized flamestitch textiles? Well, thanks to fabulous reader and insanely talented designer Elizabeth Dye, we've found it for you!
I'm so in love with the luxe tie-dye look of this fabric! It's like a watercolor flamestitch fantasy! Apparently Elizabeth used it for a dress she made, and found the fabric right here. A huge thanks to her for sharing the resource!
