Mood Board: Stinson Amber

 The Cass Clutch in Stinson Amber is inspired by the grasses and sandy shores of California's Stinson Beach and the classic suede bags from the seventies.  Here I paired it with a striped knit dress, tasseled earrings and some funky boots: the perfect ensemble for the modern bohemian.

Blush & Brass: 4 Favorites

My 'up and coming' trend radar must have been in overdrive when I reupholstered our womb chair in a light pink fabric and added brass accents to our renovated kitchen.  Suddenly that color combination is hotter than hot for both home decor and fashion wear.  Given the classic look of the current IT metal and the flattering flexibility associated with blush pinks, I suspect this combination will withstand the test of time if used in moderation.

Here are a few items that I’m currently blushing over:

One:  A gem shaped side table that’s both fancy and functional.

Two:  Softly hued wallpaper that works in either traditional or modern settings.

Three: These brassy, pointy clogs have my name written all over them.  However, their 4.5 heels bring me back to my senses.  Maybe one of you can rock them.

Four:  A sweet lamp for Zoe’s bedroom.

What To Wear: A Shared Pinboard

Sometime in September I created a Pinterest board entitled "What To Wear" as a place to share autumnal fashion ideas and sources with other pinners.  I must admit it's been super fun following everyone's favorite looks.  There's a great group of contributors:  a fashionista who finds inspiration from the runaways, a lover of  layering clothes, a chic and sophisticated dresser, a woman with lots of bohemian flair and a laid-back clothes horse.  To all those that are adding to the board, please keep doing it.  I'm already spotting fashion for a Spring 2015 pinboard, even though I haven't been able to put on a pair of boots or wear a cashmere sweater yet.  California's heat wave is giving me the Fall wardrobe denial blues... If you'd like to be part of the shared "What To Wear" board follow me on Pinterest so I can send you an invite.

Happy pinning!
