Runway Meets Interiors

It is a new year and many things have come with it! Like a new job, you can now find me at Hope Designs were I am a staging assistant, although the position hasn't started just quite yet it is very exciting. Also this year brings new television shows, new recipes I have found and award season! The golden globes have come and gone the academy awards, grammies and oscars are to come. I love to see all the stars and what they are wearing. As we all know what we wear is a direct reflection of interiors and interior trends. So I decided that it is once again necessary to show some of my fave interior decor work from other designers and gorgeous runway and thrift find outfits.

The first it courtesy of Meredith Heron, you can find this particular project published in Style at Home Magazine. You can also see its reveal on her blog Sashay and her website. The image I included is just a little taste of the project, you can check out the rest here!

To show you my fave outfit that works hand in hand with this interior I have taken to polyvore one of the greatest sites for fashion bloggers to create wonderful boards.

I choose to create this mood board/set to resemble Meredith's interior for several reasons. I chose soft colours to compliment the drapery and to act as the draperies. The gold coco chanel earring not only helps to bring out the vintage elements of the vignette shown but also in the framed cherry blossom picture. I used the tory burch purse to balance out all the light pinks. The pattern of tory burch and the style of the coco chanel earring is similar to the feel of the room you get from just this one vignette.

Below is another set I completed on polyvore, it is created from the picture within the set. It is very bold and bright and although i created this set a while ago I feel it is still on trend today and will last the test of time with minor changes. Any thoughts post a comment!

The colour palette is both neutral with a pop of colour, and traditional with a thick stripe. The louis chair will almost never go out of style as I find it a staple piece to any space when in a rut. It can easily be modernized with both new fabric and paint.

Love the sets let me know! Critical comments, or improvement suggestions? send them my way! Hope you all enjoy!

Meet & Greet w/ Trick or Treaters!

As we all know Halloween is just around the corner! It is one of my favourite holidays of the year, as is christmas which is also really soon too! For this halloween I decided on a few treats for you lovely readers. The first is a styled front table with delicious treats to meet your trick or treaters! The second is a different take on the traditional carved pumpkin. The third is the floral arrangement, treats, and a DIY kids halloween game! So lets dive right in!

Carving a pumpkin is such a traditional halloween activity that I could not resist! So I carved one small/ mini pumpkin and I paint my other. This is a great DIY activity for kids that is less mess. They can paint a halloween scene or a funny face and all with paint. As for me i painted on a zig zag pattern, I allowed the cracks to remain uncovered to break up the black a bit. You can also add black glitter to the paint for a bit of sparkle and shine! I used Scoth Blue Tape to ensure clean lines and precise painting!

I created an entrance setting to welcome the trick or treaters with treats. I started with candle sticks, one with a carmel corn treat, a different spin on the use of a candle stick, I also used organic decor as well. I then put to use my pumpkin inside as well as black and white 1960's books. I tried to create a small scene that represents halloween with a chic undertone.

I also used a rubber stamp of a pumpkin to create playing cards, this is an easy activity to kids to complete. They can create the cards and then play games with them such as Go Fish. They were easy to create. The floral arrangement is from hilltop flowers, we created it together. It is easy to create fall/halloween pieces, flowers always add that extra touch! And it is nice to have them around when they are fresh!

Throughout putting together this idea I thought about what would be interesting. I thought that a meet and greet with the trick or treaters was a cute idea, I tried to achieve a spooky chic theme. I used a lot of black and white as well as beiges and browns to soften it up. I used the pop of orange in the traditional pumpkin and the purple to contrast. Hopefully this will inspire you all to create a welcoming halloween entrance to welcome your trick or treaters into!

Styling Event

As I have graduated I did have a party though it was just a family bbq. I took the opportunity to try new desserts and different recipes. As well as style the event to look gorgeous! You have all seen the invitation so you have a taste of what the party should look like and the theme as well as colour scheme. So enjoy! I put a lot of work into it and I think it turned out extremely well!

I used a variety of colours and tried to create the chicest event I could! Hope you like it, feel free to leave comment setrc.. would love to hear your thoughts!

Talk to You Later,
