Way back last October when Anne Marie and I were brainstorming for this next sale, we knew we wanted a lot of color and texture, the feeling of Italy, but the romance of Bohemia. Even though things were still very neutral, we were craving color. We had talked about tenting and draping fabric, and large puffy pillows. We even decided to have a "Boho Ball" Friday night instead of vintage ball gown night ( Believe it or not, we are already talking about the next sale theme for October 2011.). Suddenly this season is all about adding color back.In home decor, it's coming back slowly, and I've heard that fashion is a year ahead of home decor.
I've been looking for something to wear or make for the Boho Ball and came across these outfits.
We are surrounded by color and pattern and I am loving it. Like these amazing dresses from Tracey Porter.
And Anthropologie
And this site I found: Modcloth. It has some really cool and affordable clothes.
Are you feeling the Boho love? How do you feel about adding color back into home decor?

I absolutely adore the long blue one from Modcloth...of course, a shorter version might be necessary here in the south...lovely!

ReplyDeleteThose are all so gorgeous! I love a light palette in home decor, I just find it beautiful and soothing,however I'm not opposed to miking it up with some pretty colorful pillows and accessories for a little change of pace.
ReplyDeleteLove the organic patterns and the free flowing shapes :) I would totally wear any of these! Best, Cat
ReplyDeleteI'm finally getting a lot of the colors out of my home. I don't want color to come back in!
ReplyDeleteI do love boho fashion though. :)
I love the peacock feather top with the crochet trim -- beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely loving the boho look at the moment! I love neutrals as a staple in my home, but definitely like to add colour with accessories x
ReplyDeleteThese all look very much you! My fav is the long blue/grey dress with the ruffle. HMMMM...may have to order that for the ball (unless you are already ordering it:-))
ReplyDeleteLOVE the styles for this spring and summer and I'm all about adding punches of color into my home...love some creamy white...but crave color..it brings LIFE.
ReplyDeleteLets see....yes to the first question and no to the second...I LOVE that little blue ruffled dress..I want it!!!! I just can't live with colour in my house,I sometimes wish I could but I think its cause I work with soooooooo much colour that I need just the opposite at home!!!! Great post...xoxo
ReplyDeleteWhy have I never heard of Tracy Porter? I would wear all of the clothes on her site. I love them!
ReplyDeleteHave to brag on my sister here- she was just hired by ModCloth corporate in San Fran. After about 15 years in corporate America- she is loving this company!
I like the idea of adding back some color into decor, but then I have never gone without color in my decor, so it wouldn't change things for me, really.
ReplyDeleteI love some of those dresses!
Hugs, Cindy
you picked out some of my favs from Tracy AND modcloth....not surprised :)
ReplyDeletethat long blue dress is so nice, but I prob. would pick the first one - that is so casual/comfy looking
How fun! So happy to have found your blog and the music - wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYou had me at "Tracy Porter" ;) LOVE.
ReplyDeleteLove so many of the dresses you showed...I've been craving some color too lately.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love the first one and the light blue dress. GORGEOUS!
ReplyDeleteI adore Tracey Porter's clothes! Right up my alley!!! Love the idea of having a Boho Ball, girl! What fun! And I'm very jealous that you get to work with Anne-Marie at her event. Fun fun fun!!! :)
