At Home Hits the Runway 7.8.10

by

We’ll admit that Chanel went a little over the top with the Spring 2010 RTW collection, showcasing an assortment of barn-inspired ensembles (notice the hay in the background) featuring basket weave, poppy prints and wooden clogs. But it was fun and flirty, and we couldn’t deny its similarities to the images of the quilt collection we featured in our July issue (photography by Nancy Nolan; full story available at athomearkansas.com/article/history-pieces). What do you think? Did Chanel take it too far?

At Home Hits the Runway 1.6.11

by

Georgiana Gunn’s stunning collection of blue and white china lends itself well to the runway, don’t you think? Roberto Cavalli’s porcelain-inspired design debuted in 2005 on model Daria Werbowy, and can now be found in Cavalli’s 40th Anniversary Book.

Tulip Louise: One Girl, Five Spring Looks

by

It’s officially spring, ladies! Time to peel back the bulky sweaters, exfoliate that winter skin and soak up the extra hours of daylight. Yes, spring comes with a ton of great perks but the clothing transition can be totally daunting. Anna Chatelain of Tulip Louise is here to help take the pressure off and get your wardrobe prepped + ready.

The Spring 2011 Trends You Need to Know:


Look A:

Want to channel your inner Chloe or Isabel Marant? Then it’s time to hop on the sheer trend bandwagon. Hint: Always pair your sheer item up with an opaque article of clothing underneath for adequate coverage. Look A also plays with colorblocking, which has become a huge sensation via the likes of Jil Sander! Hint: Make sure all pieces are solids; either in the same color family or in complementary hues.

Look B:

You don’t have to be a world traveler to embrace the tribal trend—whether you choose to experiment with a blouse or a necklace, try mixing fun patterns and colors together. It’s also no secret that high-waisted pants are back in a big way. Don’t fight it. Begin by pulling out interesting tops and start tucking in already! Hint: Go for bright and/or patterned blouses, paired with solid pants.

Top, Masons // Pants, Grey Dog // Jewels, Mae’s Emporium // Sunnies, Lola Boutique

 

Look C:

Celebrate fringe this spring! When used properly, the unexpected texture can add a really nice addition to an otherwise simple outfit. Hint: This works best in moderation, so limit yourself to one fringed piece per look {i.e., skirt OR handbag}. Please also note that Look C is featuring yet another sheer top!

Top, Masons // Footwear, Masons // Handbag, Masons // Sunnies, Lola Boutique

 

Look D:

Summon the flower child within, because this season’s star of the show is definitely the 70s trend. Super flared jeans, floppy hats, platform wedges and loads of bangles are all welcome!

Top, Masons // Pants, Grey Dog // Jewels, Mae’s Emporium // Sunnies, Lola Boutique


Look E:

What is spring without flowers? Boring. Inject a touch of floral into your wardrobe with either a flirty dress, a pair of high waisted shorts or subtle accessories!

Which look are you most excited to try for spring?

Yours truly-

The Foundary’s top home decor trends for fall

by

The Foundary

, a flash sales website that offers a curated selection of home and lifestyle products from coveted brands and emerging designers at up to 70% off retail, is here today with fall home decor trends, and runway looks to boot. We say, any trend involving sequins is a good one. A girl’s got to glam it up somehow, right? And faux fur? Now you’re talkin’.

Thanks to The Foundary for stopping by! For daily sales events, be sure to visit The Foundary and become a member asap!

This fall, expect to see literal interpretations of 70s classics. Embrace the decade’s amplified trends with interior updates. These seven runway-inspired looks arrive tailored for daily functionality.

Sequins, go for it.

Take the plunge and go for embellished accents. It’s important to show restraint when working with sequins. Bejeweled throw pillows introduce the trend in moderation.

Elie Saab

Colored corduroy returns.

Once praised for its schoolyard style, corduroy returns for a more mature audience. Dyed cords in pinks, purples and oranges add color without overpowering. When used for upholstery, look to corduroy for lasting durability.

Alice + Olivia

Graceful florals introduce charm.

Utilize floral prints with feminine appeal. Traditionally reserved for springtime apparel, floral prints are set to uplift conventional layouts. Choose warm neutrals or bold jewel tones for a charming finish.

Lanvin

Rebecca Taylor

Aviary themes fly above the conventional. 

Show your admiration for nature’s winged creatures. Bird silhouettes and antiqued cages convey French Country styling. Look for upholstered pieces with understated prints.


Miu Miu

Take the lead with metallic finishes.

Gold intends to reclaim its first-place status. Use natural wood and rich black accents to tame the bold metallics. It’s an opulent finish for conventional furniture and serving ware.

 

Diane von Furstenberg

Faux fur trimmings complete the look.

It’s impossible to deny fur’s posh effect. Welcome fall’s cool front with luxe trim and accessories. Faux fur is both cost effective and animal approved.

Tory Burch

Burberry Prorsum

Complementary colors work together.

Revive colonial traditions with patchwork designs. Contemporary color palettes update the classic pattern for modern preferences.

Have you seen this home in our current issue? If not, you MUST check it out on our web site (here)! Such a gracious, beautifully designed home, and that’s especially true for the kitchen area! And it appears Carolina Herrera fell for the same color palette, which she used in her Spring 2012 collection.

Elie Saab’s dreamy Spring 2012 runway collection featured a virtual rainbow of colors, not unlike the fantastic paperweight collection we featured in our Jan/Feb issue! The colors make them both an utter delight to look at, especially during the gray days of winter, don’t you think? In fact, the collector displays her paperweights as a pop of color in her formal living room for all to see! Check out the full story on these paperweights here, and for the full effect of Elie Saab’s collection (lots more looks on the runway!), click here.
