Inspired: Fab's Bohemian Rhapsody
I was intrigued by Fab's trend alert, Bohemian Rhapsody, which she describes thusly: "Bohemian style is poetic and a true bohemian rocks the theme utterly, completely." So, to follow this trend into the shelter world, I found some pieces that would work well with her finds, such as this Tracy Reese comforter, which is part of her plenty Home by Tracy Reese Fall 2008 collection.

Inspired: Christian Dior's Fall 2010 Juicy Hues
Flipping through photos from Christian Dior's 2010 Fall Couture show, I noticed a theme of bright, juicy hues. As FabSugar noted, innerwear (corsets, garters, etc.) also played a major role, but considering how unpopular this corset-inspired chandelier was, I don't see lingerie motifs succeeding in the interior design world. These tangerine, pop pink, and chartreuse colors, on the other hand, would be a fun addition to any home — modern or traditional.The citrus-colored seat on this Colorful French Accent Chair ($349) from Wisteria, for instance, pops against its carved oak frame, jazzing up what I imagine is a conservative room.
Casa Beta: Chesapeake Bay Candle Signature Collection
I recently received the Chesapeake Bay Candle Signature Collection ($65) in the mail. The set contains six cream-colored, soy wax candles in six different fragrances. Each candle comes in a clear glass vessel, which is individually wrapped in cellophane and tied with a satin ribbon.
Inspired: Tracy Reese Fall 2009
While my girl FabSugar has been running all over New York Fashion Week, I've had my eye on the runway from a distance. It's not even Spring yet, but I'm already anxious to perk up my Fall wardrobe once again, thanks to so many gorgeous designs coming down the runway. I was particularly swept away with this look from the latest Tracy Reese collection.
Coveted Crib: An Eclectic Georgian in London
Take a gander at FabSugar UK or a peek at Jade Jagger's London pad, and you'll see that British style is hard to beat. Pair that eclectic fashion with gorgeous architectural details and you've got an Olympian on your hands. The great bones of this large Georgian home in London are dressed with unique, luxurious furniture like an antique daybed and roll-top tub and cheeky accessories like a Mad Hatter lamp shade, a Cameroon headdress, and Fornasetti plates.
Trend Alert: A New Pastel
FabSugar has found the Spring couture runways dominated by very pretty pastels this year. Everyone from Christian Dior to Eli Saab to Christian Lacroix is using a delicate, powdery pigment. I've been noticing the same trend in the home décor world.
Trend Alert: Not So Trad Plaid
While I've often considered plaid to be way too traditional for my pad, I've recently had a change of heart. I love the way that actress Nina Hoss turns tartan on its head with this outfit, as well as how Ralph Lauren reimagines plaid in crystal in the bowl below. FabSugar rounded up some appealing plaids in her Trend Alert back in September, and I thought it was high time that I highlighted some plaid for your pad.
Casa Beta: Sumo Omni
Recently, I got to test the Sumo Omni ($149). While it's technically a bean bag, it's a lot cooler than the bean bags I grew up with. The Omni is close to indestructible, made from rip-proof nylon and filled with Sumo Beads (aka tiny white foam balls).
Get the Look: Phillip Lim Spring 2009
FabSugar has been staying on top of her New York Fashion Week coverage, and I've fallen hard for Phillip Lim's Spring 2009 collection, an eclectic mix of metallics, long dresses, and streamlined layers. For all of you home-oriented fashion mavens, I thought you might like to see a reinterpretation of these looks for the home décor world. Check out this slideshow to see a range of Lim-esque products.
Get the Look: Monique Lhuillier Spring 2009
FabSugar has been staying on top of her New York Fashion Week coverage, and I've fallen hard for Monique Lhuillier's Spring 2009 collection of billowy, island-chic dresses. I love the collection's corn field color palette, and feminine tulles and lace. So, I thought I'd try to get the look with some home décor items that emulate these fab gowns and cocktail dresses.
