Today's issue of Monday Mashup is a fun one.
I've been seeing a wonderful combination of Fashion+Decor in many design markets. This year Highpoint Market has a great focus on fashion the week of October 13-18th.
With my degree in Apparel Design, I am more than just a little excited about the emphasis on Fashion+Decor. The apparel and decor industry really do influence each other each year in a circular "fashion".
This month's OlioHop collaboration (which I have been talking about for the past week) is focused on Fashion+Decor as well.
So without further ado...
I can hardly resist the timeless brilliance of Christion Dior and the legend of Marilyn Monroe. Over time designs, fashions, styles and colors will always come back around.
Window shopping with Fashion+Decor.
A department store window with Marilyn Monroe in The Seven Year Itch, featuring Layla Grayce and vintage apparel from Posh Girl Vintage.
When designing a room I try to combine the old and new using vintage, flea market finds and perhaps inherited antiques. Combine these with new or custom pieces to bring the decades together in a single beautiful space.
A lovely collage of aged items, furniture and decorative pieces.
New, fresh tables and chairs mixed with accents for the home.
A pairing in the Paint Gallery of Fashion+Decor.
Dior makeup, revolutionary products of glamorous colors.
Bring new life to old furniture. Recycle, upcycle, refinish, refurbish, call it what you will. Everything Old Is New Again with a finish of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint TM.
Headgear for all. Regardless if you're going to church or adding a little something extra to a lamp base its always in style to try and make a statement.
It's the little details that can top off your look.
Influences throughout the years always find their way back into design. So many memorable icons, so much joy and so many memories.

The HEAD GEAR stole the show for me! My artistic eye jumped at that parallel! I found myself nodding in agreement and loving everything the whole post through!Brilliant Dahling!!
ReplyDeleteRobin...my hats off to you for your kind comments and to your amazing artwork. I can't wait to add your pieces into future boards. Enjoy the rest of your day!
DeleteHow fun - LOVE Marilyn. Great boards and great way to display old and new. I see you and I used a few of the same pieces. Great minds....;) Happy oliohopping!!!
ReplyDeleteBirds of a feather...Marilyn! ;D Love those pieces we both picked. Your Dapper Dan outfit is to die for. Happy OlioHopping to you too!
DeleteI'm loving your olio boards with so many vintage and glamour images. Now I'm in the mood for a Grace Kelly movie!
ReplyDeleteHow can you not resist vintage & glamour, right? I have a few other Hollywood icons waiting in the wings for more boards, two more in fact. I will add Grace Kelly to the list. Thank you!
DeleteOkay, you definitely get bonus points for ALL of your boards! Love the romantic touches and the ladylike influence. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you for the bonus points Franki! ;) It was so much fun and too many ideas for this one. I really appreciate your kind comments.
DeleteI LOVE the flow you shared of mixing vintage fashion + decor!! And SO spot on: OLD is the new NES!! One elemnt in particular that caught my eye on your A-MAZING boards was the Annie Sloan Chalk Paint!! I so want to give that a try for one of my thruft finds to refinish! Refreshing color palettes used - reminds my of an OLD FASHION ice cream parlor! I'm with Robin - LOVE the HEADGEAR board - How FUN!!

I new you would like the mix of old & new Lynda! ;D You will LOVE the chalk paint!!! No sanding or priming required. So easy, apply it to out door furniture with no sealer and the sun bakes it right in. I will be posting on it all week. Shades Of Amber ships all over the United States. Thanks for all of your support, so appreciated! xo
DeleteLove the color palette and vintage inspired wallpaper!! Great post! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's almost impossible to not like any vintage color palette. The wall paper is just beautiful, I agree. Thank you so much Julia, I have had so much fun. :D
DeleteYour "Headgear" board is SENSATIONAL! Lampshades do look quite like fancy hats, don't they? Great Olioboards!
ReplyDeleteLesley, thank you so much! I did just switch it out, planning on using the hats for something else to come to the site. That board just came together so well, I was shocked. ;)
DeleteWow, above and beyond! I love how you tie not just fashion and decor together, but old and new too! Kudos! :)
ReplyDeleteWell, I appreciate your kind words. Have to have old & new, too much fun!
DeleteMy favorite board is definitely the head gear, so incredibly cute. I just bought myself a very fancy hat when I visited Niagara on the Lake last weekend. Love it! Love all the pastels and eclectic mix of old, new, maybe borrowed and definitely new =)
ReplyDeleteSelma, thank you so much! Do you have a picture of your hat posted anywhere, I'd love to see it. Have not gone through Fall or Winter yet, but I'm already looking forward to the colors of Spring. ;D
DeleteJane, this post is fabulous. I love the mix of romantic nostalgia mixed with the new style of romance. Your boards are delightful too. I love the lamps and bonnets. You are an inspiration.
ReplyDeleteCharisse, always a pleasure to read your wonderful feedback! The shades and hats where fun. Thank you so much as always.
ReplyDeleteJane, From everyone on the Olioboard team, thank you for TRULY going above and beyond in putting together your #OlioHop post! It is just too wonderful for words and I know, with High Point Market coming up this week, everyone there will enjoy seeing it given their Fashion + Furniture theme!!
ReplyDeletePersonally speaking,my mother's name is Marilyn and she adored Marilyn Monroe. I am going to share your post with her since she is always wondering why I am always talking about Olioboard. This will be a great post for her to *get* it and one that she can relate to.
My favorite item on the whole post is the welcome mat with the dog bite out of the side. I've never seen that before and just LOVE it! I have a special thing for welcome mats..and change mine out all the time. Don't ask me why...
I also want to point out that your readers might like the new *velvet* nail polish that Oprah's beauty editor was waxing poetic about in the latest issue of OPRAH magazine. Anyone who loves vintage glam would probably like that. It's at Sephora.
Thanks again, Jane, and have a great day!

Leslie, I just don't know how to really truly express my gratitude and appreciation for being Invited to be a part of the Olioboard OlioHop. Olioboard not only is a wonderful tool for my work but has the most amazing, welcoming and friendly community I have found thus far in my career. It's a joy and honor to share and spread the word about Fashion+Decor. Finding inspiration from such talented members and designers is very fulfilling.
ReplyDeleteI'm also thrilled you enjoyed my Everything Old Is New again theme with Marilyn Monroe and the dog welcome mat. It is so cute! I hope your mom enjoys my post, thank you. On a personal note for me, my middle name is Leslie. A family name that I have always liked.
Thank you for the tip on the "velvet" nail polish, I will be sure to share that. I will continue to post on my theme all week long. I will also continue to share the other bloggers posts as well.
Have a super time at HPMT, can't wait to see all of the photos and information shared this week!
