Throw Blankets

If you haven't noticed, the temperatures have dropped in the past few days and I can feel Fall coming. A snuggly throw would come in quite handy in the coming months, so I have done a search for some of my favorites. Any other suggestions?

Polo Cashmere Cable knit throw, $ 595. Comes in other colors, too.

Williams Sonoma Home at wshome.com on sale for $149 right now! Who doesn't need more plaid in their life? So classic--and it's cashmere.

Gumps cashmere throw in persimmon! $275.  

(See earlier blog entry on how orange is the new pink.)

Etsy store Austin Quality Knits. Love the homemade look of it--looks like a big sweater.

I think these are my favorites c/o Gumps.  Cashmere, and on sale for $169.

Williams Sonoma Home, Jacquard Throw. $ 368 and you can monogram it, too.

Polo Cashmere fringe throw. $495

orange

Word on the design street is that orange is the new celadon!! Just the other day a woman came into my place of business (not telling you where i work! hah!) asking if we had orange items...we did not..Anyway, it looks like a earthy mix, dark oranges, browns etc. Very calming, I like it! Who knows though...as Elle Woods once said, "Whoever said orange was the new pink was seriously disturbed!"

Below are some examples...

Pillows: Pottery Barn

Purse: Etsy shop Spongetta http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5278407

Blouse: Banana Republic

Esty

Hi all!

This is my new blog...first entry!! This blog will cover my basic interests, arts and design but primarily Interior Design. I love to look at blogs, see the new trends, pour over the latest House Beautiful and I love crafting...when I have the time. I am in school for interior design and I work in the field...my life pretty much revolves around it. And I love it.

I am a huge fan of etsy ( http://www.etsy.com/ )...I even have my own shop. http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6082348 yeah, I'm advertising my own shop.  Etsy is a cool way to find affordable art and fun vintage items.  You do have to dig through a lot of junk...but thats part of the fun of it.  Theres fun things like photographs, knitted sweaters, cute fabric coin purses...and lots of other things you thought you didn't need but...after a few mins you MUST HAVE.  

Hopefully I will be posting a few times a week--please share your ideas and thoughts!
