This post is more eye candy than informational, as I sadly don’t have most of the sources to share with you. That said, it’s spot on in terms of home accessory highlights coming out of Paris and Japan. Everything from the asymmetrical screen prints to the fluorescent stars, to the crochet seating, pastel palettes, geometric poufs and linen pouches overlap both locales. Does anything speak to you? I’d buy that rug in a heartbeat…
Remember when you’d find crochet items in your grandmother’s house- doilies under trinkets and antiques? Just like the floral pastel trend that’s been sweeping department stores this Spring, textures reminiscent of decades past are popping up in stores everywhere. Grandma’s making her mark once again, reminding us that everything’s cyclical. There are crochet dresses, skirts, shorts, tops, gloves, socks and even shoes!
I have a few crochet sweaters that I typically pair with silk tops just to add texture. I love how the color from the blouse peeks through the loops. Recently, with this slightly chilly NYC weather, I paired one of my crochet sweaters with a green silk dress. It was perfect for the chill and added a touch of texture.
