Peter Som spring 2012

featuring 60s tailoring, bright, bold color, stand out prints and edgy hair styling led by Eugene Soulieman and colorist Aura Friedman, the Peter Som spring/summer 2012 collection was another fabulous one from fashion week!




the hair, with a deep side part, swooped to the opposite side of the face and tousled with texture, was described by Eugene as "an undone 'do approached in a classic way." Wella Professionals color ambassador, Aura, chose a universally-flattering haircolor palette of warm pastel shades varying from rose gold, peach, apricot, and salmon.



as far as makeup was concerned, Tom Pecheux led the makeup team for MAC Cosmetics, giving each model a fresh, healthy-looking skin; eyes were the focal point. choosing a violet-burgundy shade, noting that this had no connection to the collection, he decided to play with color, adding a playfulness to the girls' faces.

{style icon: olivia palermo}

I know this is an interiors blog, but every now and then I like to mix it up with a bit of fashion inspiration! Do you have a style icon? I have long been enamoured with the classy and sophisticated style of Olivia Palermo. The girl knows how to mix pieces like no body else, and I adore the tailored and effortless vibe her wardrobe exudes. If I could have any celebrity wardrobe it would be hers!!

Oh, and did I mention her apartment is pretty darn fab too? You knew I had to throw an interior into this post!!!

Shots from her apartment:

She's got that fabulous Hermes tray!

Love love how she mixes it up with her hair styles as well!

I think Miss OP will go down as a style icon for sure!! Now I'm dying to know, who is your style icon??

**Update: I just got word from a lovely reader that Olivia's apartment pictured here was actually the "show" place they used on The City in TriBeca, while Olivia really lives in Brooklyn with her boyfriend! Now I wish we could see photos of her real apartment!!

{speaking of fabulous style for kiddies ...}

On that note, I also must confess I LOVE kiddies dressed in adult-style fashions. All in all I'm totally drawn to adult rooms and adult clothes for little ones ... what's with me? Talk about growing up too fast, lol!

I am currently at the Pitti Filati in Florence, Italy. This year, the Inspiration Room is themed with recycle materials. Below you can see the 'rags' area and a few of the mini knit garments.

There is so much to take in. The knits and yarns for Fall Winter 2012/13 are amazing. More later.
