Top Spring Trends for You and Your Home

As many of you already know, fashion and interior design go hand-in-hand and each can inspire and imitate the other. This week we take on the hottest spring trends: Soft Florals, Classic Chevron and Pastel Prints to show you how to master them in your wardrobe and your home.

Your Spring wardrobe wouldn’t be complete without some flower power and this year the classic print has taken on a softer look with the Gypsy ’05 Katori Apricot Dress. In your home, this trend is similar to “shabby chic” but with a modern twist. Look for pieces with graphic floral prints like the Thomas Paul Kimono Persimmon Pillow. To temper the trend go with more subtle floral references like Arteriors Castillo White Porcelain Table Lamp and the Regina Andrews Decor Chinoiserie Mirror Set. With these tips, you and your home with be blossoming in spring style.

We love the fresh palette of playful prints in mint, coral and lavender that is popping up this Spring. Cynthia Vincent’s Lizard Color Block Dolman Dress embraces the trend flawlessly by putting a spin on a classic animal print. When introducing this trend to your home, look for items that have a modern print such as the Jonathan Adler Kensington Sofa, which looks great accented with the Thomas Paul Hummingbird Blue Cotton Pillow.

Chevron Fashion & Decor Trend @LaylaGrayce

It’s not surprising that the trend with true staying power has a top spot on our spring trends list. Embracing the graphic and fun look of chevron, the Ella Moss Sunstream Multi Maxi Dress is bright and bold. To replicate this trend in your home we suggest accent pieces such as the Jonathan Adler Zig Zag Throw Blanket in a cheery red or DL Rhein’s Faultline Embroidered Pillow. Chevron prints are an easy way to evoke some serious style envy among your guests!

Inslee By Design: January Edition

Inslee By Design

Happy Awards Show season everyone! This may be the darkest and coldest month of the year here in NYC, but it is the most glamorous time of the year for stargazing as celebrities suit up in red carpet finery out west. Thank goodness for the Oscars! I feel warmer just looking at the beautiful people! All the glitz and glamor on TV has me inspired to get a little sparkly myself. Wouldn’t this Tracy Reese Frock be perfect for a mid-winter black tie event? I love the metallic shimmery disks on the front and the sleek exposed zipper down the back. This kind of dress was made for January.
