Chinoiserie Florida Style

Quentin MacDonald - Sarasota Magazine

This wonderful home is in Siesta Key just minutes from CCC. It is filled with color, pattern, and chinoiserie, and no beige or gray to be found! I love the blue and white dining room above.

Happy Prints for Summer

Printfresh

I love color and I love pattern and never more than here in South Florida where neutrals seem so out of place. One of my go-to brands for loungewear and sleepwear is Printfresh. Made from organic cotton, ethically created, and with inclusive sizes from XS to 6X, their prints are so unique and whimsical.

Summer Style

Frances Valentine 

 

I have always loved summer clothes best of all, and here in South Florida it is summer 365 days a year. So when my favorite online stores are having their summer sales, I am in heaven. One of my absolute favorite labels is Frances Valentine, and not only are they having a summer sale, but all sale items are an extra 25% off this week with code EXTRA25. Many of you know that Frances Valentine was the last venture of Kate Spade before her death, and for me FV captures Kate's style better that the Kate Spade label today.

Printfresh Home

Printfresh Home Collection

I am such a huge fan of Printfresh sleepwear, with its unique and whimsical patterns. And they have just come out with their very first home collection. Those of you who have commented asking for Printfresh bedding got your wish.

Love Color & Pattern?

Printfresh

 

Are you looking for Mother's Day gift ideas for yourself or your Mom or perhaps a little summer weather is coming wardrobe refresh? I have posted before about how much I like Printfresh.

Printfresh was founded in 2016 by textile designer and fashion entrepreneur Amy Voloshin and her husband (and business partner) Leo Voloshin. A majority woman-owned business, Printfresh is a collection of sleepwear and lifestyle items that are inspired by plants, animals, and home décor. 

Color & Pattern

Printfresh

If you are like me (and I'm guessing since you follow CC you are), and love color, pattern, and chinoiserie and tropical prints, you need to know about Printfresh, a favorite of mine. Their clothing line is the perfect sleepwear and loungewear, and I am hoping they expand into ready to wear - I wear one of their nightgowns as a sundress. Choose from robes, nightgowns, nightshirts, short sleep sets, long sleep sets, separates - whatever you style is. It is all incredibly comfortable. I especially love their nightshirts, robes, and short sleep sets.

Changing Up the Chinese Lamp

Robert Kime and Piers von Westenholz

 

A patterned fabric lampshade is a wonderful way to change/refresh the look of your Chinese lamp. This is a very high end designer look that is really having a moment. Whether it's for a blue and white Chinese lamp or a solid color Chinese gourd lamp, it will really add a wow factor to a room. You will be surprised the impact it can have. Red looks wonderful with a blue and white lamp as shown here.

The Blue and White Bedroom

A profusion of patterns all in blue and white combine in this bedroom.
