Trendland: Curating the Color

Trendland is a website that deciphers the trends in popular culture. They have a really cool feature called 'Curating the Color' in which they create these graphically beautiful spreads that depict and inspire color and design trends. Here are a few of my favorites.

San Francisco summers are notorious for being dreary. Today was a great example of summertime in SF making you want to bundle up! Here are some warm inspirational images. 

New York Nook

This weekend, I had the pleasure of having a sleep over with my old friend Allie Lafon in New York City. Her apartment is decorated with the coolest array of oddities! It's dark, vintage-y, and eclectic but also homey and comfortable. I took the liberty of snapping some quick shots of her place. My ipod touch doesn't do the place justice!

She put low sitting antique bed to make extra seating in her living room and stacked taper candles and tarnished silver around the place. 

A distressed white chair slung with furs and pearl necklaces.

Her amazing shoe collections greets you when you walk in. 

At night we lit the place with candles.

Ombre

While flipping through a magazine I saw a page on how to create "Red & Black Cherry Ombre Lips." It took me a while to warm up to it, but now I'm fascinated. Done well, I think it's quite striking, and as an artist, I love how painterly it looks. This sparked my interest in some other ombre trends...
