could you? would you?

{kristin cavallari in people}

ladies (and gents?), what are our thoughts on pink and purple together? if you asked me about this combination sight unseen, i'd definitely say it's a no-no. yet the more i see, the more inclined i am to change my mind... what are your thoughts?

{elle décor via my favorite and my best}

pink flowers in a purple room would be a good way to test out this trend.

or how about a walk-in closet with pinkish walls and lavender built-ins? hey, go big or go home, right?

{jessica stam's apartment by rafael de cardenas in elle décor}

the kind of all-out glamour you might only find in a supermodel's apartment. larger-than-life armchairs, a lucite coffee table, and floor-to-ceiling purple curtains... pourquoi pas?

i love the high impact drama of this space. it's so easy to wimp out when it comes to color, so i admire the designer of this space for using color for dining chairs and the light fixture in the formal dining room of all spaces.

isabel marant

how about a little eye candy on this tuesday morning? here's a handful of my favorite looks from french fashion goddess isabel marant's recent fall 2010 show. shall we?

the styling is far too 50's for me but those red leather pants are show-stoppers.

erin wasson models a gray jacket and some very sparkly pants. she could walk right off the runway and onto the street and still look smashing.

the tulip skirt silhouette made several appearances in her show. this hemline is a little risqué but i love the monochromatic effect.

an easily recreated look: button-down, belt, tulip skirt, girly heels. i'm definitely keeping this one around for inspiration!

blue is the new bold

happy monday, everyone! i hope you're all feeling rejuvenated from the weekend and getting ready to take on the week ahead!

everyone and her mother has been up in arms about the genius of this blue beauty and its victorian surroundings. (kudos to paula at two ellie for beating them to the punch.) let's take a moment to celebrate this dramatic hue in its prime.

a completely unexpected but couldn't-be-more-perfect royal blue headboard.

a saturated navy transforms a run-of-the-mill kitchen.

the tried-and-true combination of navy blue and hot pink. this one is seriously in the running for the color palette of my to-be-decorated senior year bedroom.

cadet blue has a starring role in this kitchen. isn't it fantastic with the white ceilings and wood trim?

perfection in navy blue and crisp white. further explanation not necessary.
