Trend Alert: Statement Roman Shades

Thursday, April 11th, 2013

Did you guys happen to check out the new Lonny? One of my most favorite designers ever Angie Hranowsky has a project featured and I happened to notice two rooms with serious statement roman shades in them- almost painterly!

She actually uses them a lot, and I found a bunch of other examples of roman shades that are a focal point in rooms.  They are especially great in small rooms that have very little space for art- instead serving AS the art instead!  What do you think? Do you like this look?

Fashion Friday: Painterly Inspiration

Friday, September 16th, 2011

This week I received a delightful surprise in the mail from Kelly Wearstler- one of her new scarves from her collection!  Between the divine packaging and GORGEOUS product (I’m wearing it right this second) I was so impressed and in LOVE! But really, what else do you expect from the goddess of design? But painterly patterns are showing up in many collections and areas of design!

Some more from her collection

On the spring 2012 runway of Donna Karan this pattern was still prevalent! So we know it’s still be hot next year, which is great if you see a piece now on sale!

Like everything else in fashion, this translates into the home as well, especially in Jim Thompson’s No. 9 line.

I am totally feeling hot pink right now- especially today! Could there be a happier color more full of energy? Watch for it spring 2011!

I had done this collection a few days ago and then Gwynnie went and supported my hot pink trend by rocking earrings and nail polish in the color last night at the Grammy’s ( and looked amazing, I might add)! Holler.
