Not Your Grandmother’s Gingham: Spring 2015 Trends

I know what you’re thinking: isn’t gingham what they use for picnic tables and kitchen curtains? Well that was then, and this is now. Gingham is hot this spring and, thankfully, designers have thrown precious out the window and used gingham in fresh and modern ways.

DVF Spring Summer 2015Gingham is all over the runways, like Diane von Furstenberg’s Spring/Summer 2015 Ready to Wear collection.

P.S. I Love You: Palm Springs Modernism Week

I adore Palm Springs. Swimming pools, mod architecture and an ultra cool vibe have made Palm Springs the getaway of choice since the days of the Rat Pack. Palm Springs Modernism Week, that homage to mid-century design, has been an event in Palm Springs for the last 20 years or so. Palm Springs plays host to a week of events including tours of significant mid-century architecture, events and lectures and the Modernism Show, featuring prominent dealers showcasing the best of mid-century design.

So to celebrate Modernism Week, and my unabashed love of P.S., On Madison has compiled a collage of favorite images from this fabulous desert oasis.

Chic Planète

While in Paris, I picked up the latest issues of French Architectural Digest and Elle Decoration.  European design magazines are a bit hard to find here, but it’s always a treat to check out the best of European design.

Which brings me to the spread in French AD on designer Kara Molinari’s uber chic Paris apartment.  I am especially loving the bold use of lapis lazuli blues mixed generously with gold and polished chrome accents.  The golden herringbone floors and stark white bois detailing accented with gold reinforce the modern Parisian chic vibe.
