I love matching fashion and interiors, as you can see here. There's definitely a strong correlation between the two - people's wardrobes give you a strong indication of their interior style. I've picked three outfits I'm loving at the moment to match to a room. My favourite pants right now are these super comfy 'swag pants' from Moochi. Dress them up or down, and don't they look fantastic with a classic striped tee?!
"Colour is key to creating your style, be it in the home or on the catwalk". I am in total agreement with these wise words from the team at Dulux, who collaborated with two amazing Australian fashion labels as part of the Virgin Australia Melbourne Fashion Festival. Dulux teamed up with Gorman and Romance Was Born to combine the latest fashion and interior trends.
As you can see from previous posts, here and here, I love the crossover between the world of interiors and fashion. So I've taken a couple of New Zealand designers, Karen Walker and Trelise Cooper, and trawled through my Pinterest living rooms board to create these matches.
If you ever need inspiration for your interiors, look in your wardrobe or flick through a fashion magazine. You'll find clothes with colours and textures that you're drawn to, try including these into your home to reflect your style.
Have you heard of Free People? It's one of my favourite online fashion shops - down to earth, free-spirited, Boho at it's best. They have a great background story too, which you can read here.
I recently stumbled upon the amazing offices of Free People while reading French blog, Garance Doré. I've worked in some cool, and some not-so-cool office in the past, but if any of them had been as fabulous as this, it would've been a pleasure going to work each day.
Located in Philadelphia, they reflect the Free People image perfectly - relaxed and cool - and are complete with a book store, two restaurants, a workout room, and you can even take your dog to work - yay! With meeting rooms everywhere you can choose where you want to work, which is super inspiring. Especially in a creative job, you sometimes just need a fresh environment to recharge your brain and your senses.
It's obvious Free People value their staff and treat them accordingly. What do you think... would you be happy to work in this environment?
