 Oh my gosh, I love everything about this collection! I'm really crushing on the fabrics, I love their shimmer. I adore the shapes too, loose, stylish and simple over all with little details that make them special whether it be fabric, pockets, buttons or folds. I'll take one of each please.

ps. I'd surf in that bikini!

Tomas Meyer casually chic line for Spring 2015 is delightful! I love it. I'm crushing on the palm tree fabrics, I have searched all over for fabric like this with no luck. I love the palm long dress and the white dress with the painterly palm fronds on the neck line. These pieces are simply, the luxury comes from the fabric and the little details.

Enjoy!

 Porsche Design

Oh my goodness what a pretty line from the creator of the Porsche 911, his name is Ferdinand Alexander. The design studio is in Austria which he set up in 1972 after leaving the car company. I'm crushing on the drapey quality and fabrics of this spring 2015 collection. I really love how the shapes fold, it's beautiful!

 Enjoy!

Hello Friday!

Hello Everyone,



Fall is on it's way in and I'm kind of excited, I haven't felt like this in a long time. I think it's because we've had such a sunny and warm summer here in the Pacific NW. While I'm not ready for grey skies I am ready for cooler temps and layering myself with soft, richly colored fabrics but with sandals on.

 

This Pantone fashion color for fall captures the moody blue of the fall and winter sky. Wouldn't a chunky over sized sweater be yummy in this color?

Indigo seems to be fashionable at this moment, here is a beautiful bedroom outfitted in fall colors and textures.

I also love grey and wear tons of it all year and as much as I proclaim to love sunny weather which I do, I'm a grey interior lover.

I'm also seeing pastels for fall, as well as the rich jewel tones we're used to. I like the idea of wearing the colors that you love. It's wonderful to wear white after labor day, go ahead break the rules.

Have a happy weekend!

Aloha

It's no wonder I'm crushing on this line created by Tia Cibani, she was the designer to relaunch Ports 1961, a line that is dear to my heart. I love the drape of the skirts, and did you see the dip dye at the hem of the trousers and jacket? It's little details like that that I love.
