Boutique THEO

April 27, 2013

Boutique THEO is a great place to start planning a special event, to look for a gift, find something for the home or needing a little inspiration.

Boutique THEO is the creation of two childhood friends, Jennifer Delesie {Delesie Photography} and Charlotte Hale {Plum Pretty Sugar} and along with Lisa Vorce {Event Design & Production} as the Creative Director. These talented ladies have established themselves prominently in the wedding industry and now combined their expertise to help others plan special events through “shop the look” in their online shop. It carries a wide range collection of decor and accessories for special events, individuals, the home and for gift giving {my personal favorites are the creamware cake stands}. They also have a blog site featuring ideas, how-to projects and beautiful inspirational photos {like the image below} to help you get started. I encourage you to go and take a peak. ⟶

Thank you ladies {and Aaron} for letting me share these beautiful images from Boutique THEO.

Christian Dior spring-summer 2013 haute couture collection displayed the coming of spring beautifully. This was the Creative Director Raf Simons second haute couture collection for Dior. The models emerged walking up the steps from the floor below to be surrounded by mounds of boxwood hedges and trees. The collection was light and airy, with layers of tulle, fine fabrics, embroidery, beads and flowers in vivid and pastel hues. “I wanted to do a very self-explanatory collection this season” said Simons. “I wanted it to literally be about the season; to be about the very idea of spring.”

The Color Trend for 2013

January 5, 2013

Sherwin Williams color choice for 2013 is Aloe. Here’s why they picked it as explained by Jackie Jordan, Sherwin-William’s director of color marketing, “This is no ordinary pastel — Aloe is funky and glamorous, demure and free-spirited. While Aloe’s vibe can verge on retro, when paired with caviar blacks, crisp whites or soft grays, suddenly Aloe has a new soul and attitude. And Aloe is highly adaptable, making it a perfect pick for everyday spaces such as a breezy sunroom or a well-dressed living room.” (source ~ apartment therapy )

Pantone LLC’s Color of the year for 2013 is Emerald. The executive director of Pantone Color Institute, Leatrice Eiseman said the following, “The entire green family has been so strong, upcoming through the ’90s as we’re paying attention to nature, so the family isn’t new, but what we needed to look at and revisit was the psychological background: Emerald is such a balanced color, and balance is something to pick up on and listen to. It’s a color of growth, renewal, healing, unity and regeneration — words we’re all so in need of at this point of history.” (source ~ Bella & image ~ Elegance & Simplicity )

At Benjamin Moore’s website, these are the most searched colors by the general public. (source ~ Re Do It Design)

Fall 2012 Sweaters, Wraps and Accessories

October 10, 2012

This is my Fall inspiration board and a glimpse into the trend for this Fall/Winter 2012-13 season. I am loving these sweaters, wraps and accessories in soft color palette. The outfit from Missoni (2nd pic) is quite overwhelming to look at first because of the different layers, patterns, textures and colors, but there is harmony. What I will take from these images are the colors and apply them to how I decorate my home and put together my outfits and maybe add a few new scarves to my collection.

The Color Orange, for the Summer and into Fall

September 1, 2012

(images: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12,13,14)

Here in the Northwest, the cool mornings and nights are starting to slowly settle in and I’m grabbing for my sweaters all the time. The color orange is not something I think of decorating with or adding to my wardrobe until the Fall season approaches. Is orange a seasonal or a year round color for you?
