Get Outside!

Today, I thought we’d try something a little different, more of a mood board ya know, since I’m definitely in the mood to be spending more time out than in.

Cheers, Arren

Okay then, here we go with a rustic yet refined take on outdoor living in natural terracotta, rattan and canvas with hits of a soft off-white and black. I’m loving the handmade meets modern elements, but I’ll leave it up to you to get the rosé on ice…

I was there working, scouting for Trendwatch for House & Home, and also dreaming about being somewhere hot and fabulous, since it's so stinking cold here right now. So, how about it? Florida? Palm Springs? The French Riviera?

In the meantime I'm keeping warm with the news that the Lilly Pulitzer collection of fabrics for Lee Jofa will be launching super soon (the snap below from the LP Madison Ave store shows a wall filled with the kind of fun, bright and summery styles we can expect to see). Not to mention imagining a blazingly sunny back yard with one of these hilariously over-the-top vintage Hollywood-esque style umbrellas from Santa Barbara Designs planted right in the centre (I'm currently jonesing slightly more for Flamenco over top of Lilypond). Pass the Ambre Solaire, I am so done with winter... [Image 1: Kravet's Inspired Talk]
