Tuvalu – Casual Elegance for the Home

October 6, 2011 2 Comments

This week I’ve been searching for retailers that carry Roost Home Furnishings… one of my favorite go-to home decor designers for unique accents for the home.

Along my travels I found this great online store, Tuvalu – Coastal Beach Home Furnishings & Accessories, with a few locations scattered around Orange County. They have a lovely selection of items for indoor/outdoor decorating and entertaining that offer an undeniable casual elegance.

I’m hoping on my next trip out West, I’ll get to make a stop at this sweet little place and see it for myself!

All Things Anthropologie – Fall 2011

October 5, 2011 No Comments

I love my new, fall coat! The bright color, the fuzzy, soft texture and the feminine details of the rounded collar, ruched waist, tapered cuff and the uneven hemline… such a great find and this color will go with everything! Check out Polyvore’s picks above for this stylish look. How cute are those shoes?!

Anthropologie is having a 30% off sale right now on their winter coats. You won’t be able to find this one online, you’ll need to go into a store to get it but it’s worth it with all the fun stuff they have for fall!

Fashion Design Illustration Spotlight – PAPERFASHION’s Katie Rodgers

October 3, 2011 No Comments

This is one of my favorite, Boston-based fashion designers, Kathryn Elyse Rodgers, or better known as Katie of PAPERFASHION. I’ve been keeping my eye on this fashion illustrator for awhile now, and her drawings are fun, fresh, stylish, warm, and playful.

The illustration above was on Boston.com’s website listing fun events for Fashion Night Out 2011. Katie of PAPERFASHION was painting illustrations live for Rockport’s new line of bags. Sorry I missed it! It must have been very cool indeed.

Katie doesn’t have long for Boston, it seems she’s off to Barcelona this fall to do something new and exciting with her blossoming fashion design career. But you can see Katie anytime by checking out this video DESIGNLOVEFEST and watching Katie paint something fabulous!
