Love That | Navy + Cream

SEW  |  Do I wanna stitch a closet full of preppy button-up prints? Oh, yeah. via Pinterest

HOME  | Currently obsessed with updating the steps our mid-century home using this runner idea from Creative Juice.

STYLE  | Mix your navy with a floral print and re-imagine a nautical theme like Anh from 9to5Chic.

ETSY  |  The Latice Pillow Cover by Lily Pillow makes me want to dress up if only to sit on the couch.

ART  |  I want to skip under the umbrella in this note card scene by Quill and Fox.

FABRIC  | Oh, the detailing in this intricate print from Xenia Boutique.

DIY  |  Let's create an adult version of these adorable flats from Joyfolie, shall we?

For a frustrated (translation: land locked)  nautical lover, nothing feels more graphic than the mix of navy and cream and I love to incorporate these colors into every aspect of my life. The trellis stair runner? The jaunty bunny couple? The floral skirt with navy blazer? They all exhibit the characteristics that are essentially ME--the more whimsical, the better. And that's why I love them.

Making It Work: Emerald Green

It seems emerald is everywhere this spring (in a way that has nothing to do with St. Patrick's Day). The Pantone 2013 Color of the Year is lush, radiant and so very, very...awesome--the perfect shade to bridge the weather weirdness between January and April.  So how are you wearing your green?
