Crossover Trends: Fashion and Home Decor

Thursday, June 21, 2012

Hi there lovelies….. I’m Wendy, the voice behind A Stylish Domicile and friend of the girls.  I’m just filling in while Kristin has some time with the lady bean and the dude.  I know she’ll be right back sharing all of her fashion crushes with us shortly.

Have you ever noticed how fashion and home décor trend seem to take cues from each other every season?  If it’s on the runways it’s only a matter of time before it pops up elsewhere.  These cross overs make it easy to fall head over heels with a color, motif or pattern and creates a gazillion ways to use it

This year’s Pantone color of the year, Tangerine Tango, has successfully invaded both fashion and the home accessories markets.   I love its many uses…

If color wasn’t enough of an influence, pattern plays role too. The popular chevron pattern is popping up everywhere from pillows to handbags and maxi dresses to lamps…

Then there’s the ever popular coastal motif that manages to cross over from home décor to fashion quite easily.  It can even be found in menswear too.  Perhaps Dad wouldn’t mind a tie so much for Father’s Day if it sported a coastal flair…

I think the cross over from fashion to home décor makes it way too easy to be trend obsessed… What do you think???? And be sure to stop by my blog and say hi!

Many thanks to Wendy! I’m certainly inspired to add a piece or two to my wardrobe and home!

I die for tangerine. Too bad it’s a death sentence for redheads. Sigh…
