Home decor: Trends Agate, Gold & Emerald

It's trend spotting time! Yes, agate has been around for over a year now, even target did some wonderful pieces in faux look, but I just can not get enough of it. I love how it looks beautiful in it's original state or even just the print. I am especially in love with the cushion covers from West Elm (I bought both beige and the green one!). They of course have jewellery boxes and book ends!

My second favorite trend is Gold, it is so luxurious! And now there are more and more modern items on the market to incorporate into any decor theme, I have the star burst chandelier, and dying for the gold and white tray by Nate Berkus for Target!!

And Emerald, even though Pantone has chosen another colour for another year, Emerald is not going anywhere! We are seeing it from furniture to accessories to kitchen cabinets!  It is such a vibrant and lively colour. I love that it is not masculine or feminine, so you can use it anywhere and in way you like! When in doubt green has always been my go to colour. It is so versatile, it brings a freshness to the room and depending on the shade can be calming, or full of energy!

La Fashionista: Trending sarees

Saris are going through a crazy transition right now. Traditionally they used to be either heavily embroidered or simple with prints. But now you can have it all, prints mixed with embroidered tulle, tulle mixed with heavy velvet, or just simple graphic prints! It is so hard to decide what to buy now, but I think I have a favorite in the mix, can you spot it ;) .

The floral pink and black tulle, simple yet elegant, it has all the trends in one sari! But if I could afford them I would buy them all!

Floral are everywhere right now, I especially love them in Saris. via Pinterest

Graphic prints are so retro chic, I love the pacman one!, and the polka dots! via Pinterest

La Fashionista: Flats and Sandals

Even though it is technically winter, I can't help but daydream about spring. Anthropologie's new summer shoe collection is so dreamy! I am in love with each and every single piece, the colours are so beautiful. I love all the neutrals and a hint of colour here and there.

 I like the muted metallics, and how cute are the banana leaf ones! My fave have to be the black spot flats.

What is there not to love..Rose gold, Coral, Embroidery and Pompoms!

La Fashionista: Dark Florals

When I first saw dark blooms on the runway, something like this image came to my mind, and I was in love right away!

Even though this trend  has been for sometime, it is not slowing down! It has been all over the runways for a few years, and showed up in dresses, jackets, even scarfs and shoes! I personally bought a scarf simply so I could wear this trend everyday! But I knew these big dark florals was here to stay when I was walking by the Adidas store and saw floral hoodies and t shirts! So I compiled a few of my favorite pictures of this trend.

1: A collection by Dolce and Gabbana, Fall 2012 I believe.

All things Pretty: Happy Valentine's day

I originally had no post created for Valentine's day, but then I got these beautiful Coral roses! How gorgeous are these, I had to display them right away and something this pretty needs to be photographed! I admit I went a little nuts but these flowers make me ralize I should have roses at my house ALL the time. I smile every time I look at them, needless to say I have been admiring them all day! 

Home Decor: For the love of Copper

I wasn't sure about this at first but Copper has really grown on me. I have always been more of a "silver" person and I was just starting to dip my toes into the Gold territory and then comes Copper with gun blazing! I have to admit it is such a cool tone for a metal and it can work in both rustic and glamorous setting! I personally believe Tom Dixon is solely responsible for bringing this trend mainstream [but don't quote me on it ;)]. For me opper had bit of a country feel to it, but then you look at the reflective copper shade my Tom Dixon and how stunning it looks with modern decor. It has changed the way I see and use copper. I am personally so excited to add a few copper elements around the house. Here are a few simple ways how..

Trending Tuesdays: Making me Blush!

So we have seen blush all over the runway this season, and it was definitely the surprise colour of the winter with pink winter coats everywhere! I am glad to see it's not going anywhere this summer AND it's sticking around trough Fall 2014! Here are some of my favorite things in blush!

Snug Studio

How adorable is this calendar from Snug Studio. I love the colour of course and the minimalist and modern design.

These blush cushions are just so dreamy. They are so glamourous and I would put them in pretty much every room of the house!

There beauties I stumbled on Babasouk are just divine. Babasouk is Montreal based shop and sell all sorts of unique things. These bowls are hand made so no two are the same. How lovely would it be to serve dessert in these, or even use as dipping bowls! But they are so versatile, they can be used to display jewellery, or use them as change bowls.

All things pretty: My favorites!
