Summertime Sadness

Although it is a very exciting time when summer rolls around it also sad for many of us when we realize we are NOT bikini ready.
thus I have put together some images of wonderful one piece bating suits that will ensure we look our best. After all fashion does inspire interiors!

This bathing suit is very traditional in its colours and style as well. The blue and white with the separation of the belt is very similar to what someone would wear everyday to work. It also emulates the colours of a traditional light house inspired cottage.

This bathing suit I would say encapsulates my style in fashion and interiors. The dark seductive colour paired with mixed metals in the straps and her accessories suggest classic elegance with a touch of a vintage feel. I like to mix different medias in unexpected ways to layer lots of texture, much like the effect her bathing suit gives off. It also reminds me of one of my favourite time time in history, the roaring 20's - Great Gatsby Esq!

This bathing suit for me is very retro chic. It reminds me of shabby chic as well. This could easily set the tone for living space.

This image reminds me of images of hotels in france and italy. The architecture of the building is echoed in the style of her bathing suit, accessories, and well defined hairstyle.

This whole image for me is a mood board waiting to happen for a very laid back cottage. Imagine the white linen couches, sandy beige woven carpets, and blue sea accessories!

I would like to add that not only are the one pieces above stunning but so are photo shoot sets! 

As we can see our choice in fashion has a direct effect on our decor choices and vice versa. I hope you all loved my last minute bathing suit ideas and interior decor thoughts!

Talk to you later!

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!

Thanks, Talk to you Later,
