Spring 2010 Runway Inspiration – Part 6
As we’ve seen, plaid is still around this season and there’s a reason it’s still a big influence for designers. A hint of plaid can liven up any monotone outfit. With this look from Boy by Band of Outsiders we’ve moved from a 90’s grunge feel to a more preppy take. You can even go so far as to mix up the plaids, I’d add this chunky bracelet from elemental threads to top off the outfit and make it a little more girly.

Spring 2010 Runway Inspiration – Part 5
As you can see, both Luella and Marc by Marc Jacobs were inspired by bows this season. In this look, Marc pulls together one of the big trends, mixing different plaids together and he makes it look great. I think the Love Clutch by Ikestaedt is the perfect accessory to complement any plaid outfit. Do you love it as much as I do?

Spring 2010 Runway Inspiration – Part 4
Here’s another look from Anna Sui that embodies the pretty/girly feel of Spring 2010. Detailed prints mix and match with each other to give an overall bohemian vibe. Finish it off with an eggplant bow clutch from Vancouver’s own Davie and Chiyo.

Spring 2010 Runway Inspiration – Part 3
Bows are another big trend for next season, as seen in this look from Luella. You don’t need to be as over the top as the model here, we’re not necessarily recommending a huge bow on top of your head- unless you’re Minnie Mouse it’s a hard look to pull off. The perfect way to incorporate this trend into your wardrobe is with this black rhinestone bow necklace from Love Las Muertas. The black metal chain gives it a modern feel so it’s not too ‘girly’. Just right by my books.

Spring 2010 Runway Inspiration – Part 2
I can undoubtedly say that floral patterns are back. Anna Sui beautifully captures 60’s flower power with a fresh take on a look that never gets old. A peacock feather headband by sweetgrassmill is the perfect way to take this outfit from day to night. Just add a pair of heels and you’re set.

While reading Canadian House and Home, I got some great decorating ideas for holiday entertaining. I featured a few of their images below and paired each with complementary items from great Etsy artists.
Now that I’ve got a few fresh ideas in my head, I’m ready to set up our home for the holidays and then sit back and celebrate with friends and family.
1). Vase by New Moon Studio
2). Shimmery Blue Candle Holder by ShimmerShoppe
3). Nesting Lotus Bowls by Whitney Smith
