Color Me {Tartan}

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a relaxing Thanksgiving weekend. Now that I'm done stuffing myself with delicious food, it's time to concentrate on getting ready for the Christmas season. I was ahead of the game this year and most of my holiday shopping is already done, but decorating is still on the list of things to-do. Each year I struggle with a theme for my decorating. Do I go natural and rustic, traditional, modern, or glam? While I've decided to make as many decorations as possible, I still need a theme. I thought I would share one route of inspiration with you today. I love the classic, timeless feel of tartan. In traditional holiday colors, it's a perfect decorating theme.

What's your plan for decorating this year?

Color Me {Plaid}

Plaid is one of my favorite classic trends for fall. The mix of deep reds and hunter greens in a tartan pattern is one I love when paired with jeans and a vest. With this timeless trend floating in my head, I'm dreaming of transitioning it to the party. Imagine an ivory cloth, a plaid linen napkin, and an array of candles tied with pieces of plaid. It all sounds like the perfect fall themed dinner party to me!

Happy Monday!

Color Me {Indigo}

Hi lovlies and happy Monday! I'm feeling major inspiration today from the classics. Whether it be old movies, timeless books, or a pair of blue jeans, you just can't go wrong with something that never goes out of style. Whenever I'm in a bind for design inspiration or the perfect outfit, I always reach for the staples like a little black dress, a pair of dark skinny jeans, or a nice sailor stripe. Well, today, I was feeling in quite a bind for the perfect color. Nothing was really inspiring me, until I began to think about my go-tos and realized that the unmistakable shade of denim indigo was just what I was hoping for. This dark shade of blue brings a classic casual touch to any event. Reminiscent of your favorite pair of blue jeans, the hue can be incorporated in a number of ways. You can keep it as the focal point or simply use it to accent brighter colors like yellow or pink. Either way you use it, it is sure to bring a timeless feel to the room.
