Defining Decor: Erin Fetherston's NY Apartment

Via | Vogue

“I see it as a reflection of my creative universe, It’s romantic and chic, but clean and modern," says fashion designer Erin Fetherston about her Tribeca apartment that overlooks the Hudson River. It has an undeniable old-world charm with personal touches that add a whimsical eclectic feel to her spacious yet cozy home.  

I love her home style, it's effortlessly  chic in a down-to-earth way. Understated elegance could describe it. After living in France for 5 years she was able to capture the European style she loved so much by shipping over her antique furniture once she moved to the States. The subtle blue color of the walls in her living area bring a welcoming and calming sense to the space don't you think? Those antique nesting tables are gorgeous! The clean simplicity of her bedroom and office space speak volumes for "less is more".

 Chinoiserie  touches like the lamps and silk screen in the bedroom add refined grace and sophistication in an otherwise plain room. Meanwhile, there's a structured kind of mess to her closet and dressing table. Venetian mirrors and fresh flowers on a vanity are a weakness for me.  I appreciate the mixture of textures and details within her home, the small details capture personality and add to the ambiance. You can read the full interview here, at Vogue. 

Color Palette: Bubblegum+Tangerine

{Textile | J.Crew | Swatch | Feathers}

I love all the pastels for the season but like the contrast when paired with bold colors. This fire-y tangerine with pastel bubblegum combo has been on my mind lately, I just love the combination.  It's bold and light. This color palette is all around flattering for the home, wardrobe and even beauty. Pair a bold tangerine lip with a soft pink blush for a sweet Summer beauty look. A soft pink cardigan flatters a coral skirt or shorts. And if you're looking for a bold new color of paint for an accent wall, this shade of orange with pink accents would be perfect.

Color Palette: Kate Spade Wedding Belles

 Kate Spade's new wedding line called Wedding Belles is bright, sophisticated and fun. I love the vibrant color story, especially the red and blue combination here. A strong red with an electric blue and soft pink with a pastel blue.  The look is mod with a modern twist, I can see brides gravitating towards this line and it's easy to mix-and-match style. The line carries an array of glam baubles and colorful accessories along with their chic wedding dresses. Yes, still loving balloons as props, {see here, here, & here} they just make a picture pop! Hope everyone is having a great week!

{Oh, so Ladylike: Erin Fetherston Resort 2011 Collection}

{via: Style.com}

This resort collection is ladlylike perfection. I love the color palette and fabrics, not to mention those shoes {and skinny trousers, love}! The feminine silhouettes and details like the sweatheart necklines, belted waists, and pretty bows accent curves and elongate the figure. The kind of clothes that give you confidence and make you feel oh, so pretty.

*Today is my 25th birthday, btw.

{Oh, so darling: Valentine}

Recently came across Valentine and hate that I didn't discover her blog sooner. She's quite possibly the cutest girl living in Paris with style {and hair, totally thinking about bangs now} to be envious of.  I spent some time browsing her outfits and darling photography{amazing Parisian landscapes, parks, streets and buildings}. If ever you need style inspiration and ideas on how to mix up your wardrobe, her blog is the place to go. Her outfits are casual yet chic; effortlessly mixing prints, textures, and colors with both a vintage and modern twist. Lovely.
