OLD IS NEW (AND FRESH!)

The return of retro styling is bound to have all sort of impacts on trends these days (for better or worse), but one I can I can absolutely deal with is a resurfacing of palettes like this...


From Rachel Zoe's current Missoni pillows to Gio Ponti's vintage geometric influences - old is new again.

CHAMPAGNE WISHES + WINTER DREAMS

Winter is not going anywhere, darlings. The cool days, freezing rain, and piles of snow are here to stay for a bit, so let's just embrace it a little, shall we?
The stark contrast of dark wood and white, and pieces that reflect the cool light. Gilding, crystal, mirrors, and fabrics with sheen... I suppose winter can stick around a little while...

I've been so incredibly drawn to black+ white these days, but I have to say that red+nude? Always so classy.

Summer Lovin': Yellow Stripes

I've always loved the summery cabana feel of yellow stripes...

... and I'm not exaggerating when I say I think it stemmed from those Giorgio perfume ads in the 90's. I used to tear them out because I thought they were so cool...
