Trend Friday: Bedazzling Glass Wallcovering

May 17, 2013 by Jaima Emmert Leave a Comment

Be-Dazzle My Heart

Bejeweling or bedazzling designer glass beaded wallpaper has been the unexpected it, a quiet trend for quite some time now. Maya Romanoff’s Bedazzled wall covering has been around for a while too, but is still as fresh as ever. Available in an assortment of colors, this wall adornment is as big of a statement as a piece of art. This colorful glass beaded wallpaper is fabulous when used for fireplaces, powder rooms and for anywhere else you want to make a statement. The subtle shine is unique in the fact that it can be used commercially or for residential use. No matter when or where you use it, Be-dazzled is always going to create a winning look. This is luxury at its best. Shine on!

Trend Friday: TEAL

March 15, 2013 by Jaima Emmert Leave a Comment

Color Theory: Teal

Emerald green may be the color of the year, but it’s teal that I’m trending toward this season. Not only popular in fashion but also in home design. Teal is one of those unique colors that looks equally stunning mixed with a warm or cool palette; it is as versatile as it is bold. As always, I love it big and bright and envision a full wall in a rich teal-ectable hue in my near future. If subtlety is your m.o. introduce by the cup instead of the gallon. Lamps, bedding, trim; all good places to start!

Trend Friday: Get into the Greek

March 9, 2013 by Jaima Emmert Leave a Comment

Get Into the Greek

Greece itself may be struggling, but its style influence certainly hasn’t diminished. The Greek key motif is trending throughout the design world…finding its place in a number of rooms throughout the home. The best spot to sport your Greek love? The bedroom, I think. Loving the bold look of the red design adorning crisp white bedding. Better yet, give yourself a new DIY project and create your own Greek key look. A gilded Greek key dresser, perhaps?

Birds of a Feather Trend Together

January 24, 2013 by Jaima Emmert Leave a Comment

I’m Jaima, a designer who loves animals…especially birds and dogs! I own Lily, an African Gray who I inherited from my late mother in law, Alice. She loved Lily. At first, I was terrified! Now, I’m not afraid of any small or big bird. Remember, you can always overcome your fears when love is involved. I am learning that birds are very social. Yes…SOCIAL but they are also coming into trend in home and fashion.

Big & Bold

January 10, 2013 by Jaima Emmert Leave a Comment

As I say goodnight to my week of floral review, I leave you with a comfy place to curl up and declare your list of resolutions. It’s the yin and yang of design here. The masculine nature of club chair styling with a confidently feminine twist. The classic floral mixed up with a bold scale and color scheme. A floral-inspired pillow used to somehow tone down the impact of an already powerful floral look. Which flower bomb has you wanting to ring in this new years style?

Flora & Fawn-Over-Ya

January 8, 2013 by Jaima Emmert 3 Comments

The bold digital prints I have favored in recent posts regarding the fashion and home style genres alike are apt to include some great floral variations. These Pinterest finds are significant in their synchronization of past, present and future; the decidedly retro incarnation of balloon sleeves and a nipped waist, contemporary fabric with a classic floral meets digital print in a very McQueen-esque futurism. These are some florals to fawn over through the ages!

Tip Top Shape

December 26, 2012 by Jaima Emmert Leave a Comment

Buns have been around in their various iterations for centuries, they have even earned title mention on the small screen with this summer’s short-lived comedy-drama Bunheads. Past generations have been well worn and loved by ballerinas and stylish conservatives alike. With street style veering more and more to the casual, so has our hair. This refinement meets haphazard mash up has introduced to the messy top-knot, my personal favorite version of this height contributing style. A great do to offset a super sleek ensemble or compliment that perfectly planned grungy look. This do’s a do!!

Flamin Hot!!

December 6, 2012 by Jaima Emmert Leave a Comment

Reminiscent of Missoni’s, well, almost everything, the flame stitch is once again having a moment. An endless array of color combinations and various forms of geometric interpretations make for an appealing focal point. As a wallpaper (like the one pictured below), or reinvented as a rug, or even just pieced in with a great decorative tray or throw, the flame stitch pattern is both visually stimulating and practical. It has been around for a thousand years and is as relevant and usable as ever. Whether splurging for Missoni or opting for a more affordable option, why not use a new flame stitch element as the color inspiration for a room overhaul?!

Tap in to Tapestry

December 5, 2012 by Jaima Emmert Leave a Comment

With the entrance of fall comes a richness of that reaches outside in. Earthen hues outdoors inspire the same in patterns, and texture builds from the flimsiness of summer frocks. And now, as Fall is reaching its hand in to winter, it’s finally the perfect time to embrace the fully thickened tapestry stylings that sashayed down the runways several months back. If you’re braving a snow-filled winter climate, this is the perfect look to feel fresh and hot when the weather is anything but. Bold, in a classic way, investing in a tapestry piece or two this season will undoubtedly be worth the money down the road.

Style and beauty bloggers unite! Runway style is inspiring in so many ways beyond just how we dress ourselves. From our head down to our toes – literally – we can mix the latest looks into our everyday. The nail-as-art phenomenon has hit a new high in recent months and shows no signs of slowing down, so why not jump aboard. From the over-the-top to the subtle & chic, there truly is a look that everyone can appreciate. How great are these blogger interpretations of Rachel Zoe and ADAM’s Spring 2013 looks?! A bit of texture here, a splatter of color there…what’s not to love.
