Room of the Week

Play on prints, textures and the wooden floor gives Philip and Olivia's smaller living room in their Sussex, UK home a unique and eclectic feel.  The slate, charcoal and cream 3D boxed wall paper is contemporary while the beautiful vintage chandelier is different yet usual.  Formerly a seaside pub, this couple transformed it in to a fun house at home, building light displays, collecting items from secondhand shops, and filling their humble abode with countless surprises.  Quirky but we love it!

Be Bold

A look this self-proclaimed accessory junkie is loving right now: MAJOR statement necklaces…seriously. Whether it’s shopping with the girlfriends, weekend brunch, typical work day, or a date night out, you can’t go wrong by simply adding oomph to that outfit with a bold neckpiece. It is possible to make these pieces work for casual-chic every day wear or glitzy-glammed up nights and I’m about to show you how.

Adorn a chunky sweater, tee, faux fur, or button down, leggings and your favorite boots with a chunky piece of your choice. Perfect for cold day errand running or cozying up by the fire.

If layering is your thing, choose the peek-a-boo style with your button down and sweatshirt...

or simply throw on a pretty necklace with a fitted tee for a "I want to be comfy but still look glamorous or adorable" style status. This emerald/white combo is to die for (not to mention emerald is Pantone's 2013 color of the year...YAY!)

Just because the piece is bold doesn't mean your top needs to be. If you're a skeptic about mixing too much, aim for one color in each piece to be the same or similar...or just go with leopard print, you can seriously pair any color with it and look great!

Crazy About Chevron

Look we're majorly loving right now: The zig-zag Chevron print. Whether it's two-tone or many colors...
Chevron everything, please: from rugs to furniture, to clothing to accessories.
All we have to say is "The more Chevron the better..."

Accent any living room with a Chevron printed pillow.

Chevron seating. Yes, please.
