room to wardrobe {navy + animal print}

I am typically not a fan of animal print in interiors, as it tends to make a space busier than it needs to be. However when I see it well done and in a playful and glamorous manner, like this space from Mary McDonald I am a little more open minded to the idea. I love the way she uses navy blue to add some classic flair to the leopard print.

The same principal is appealing to me when it comes to the wardrobe as well.

room to wardrobe {autumn transition}

It is always difficult to layer outfits this time of year. It is in between boot and sandal season, light wrap and wool sweater season and not quite time to pull out the richest color pieces in the wardrobe. When I saw this room I thought that the airy yet cozy feel and tempered color palette was the perfect place to start looking for inspiration for this transitional time of year.

The look it inspired is sleek, smart and seasonally appropriate. I actually very much wish I was were this ensemble right now as I swelter in a long cashmere cardigan.
