COLOR WATCH: BACK IN BLACK & WHITE FOR FALL!

September 7, 2010

The Row – Fall 2010 Collection

Once again…another post inspired by a conversation with my good friend and fashionista Amie Robinson.

After Amie had inadvertently turned me onto Lauren Moffat in idle conversation and that netted a fab post on plaid and piping…this time in hopes of another fashion post, I just asked Amie straight out, “What designers are you liking for fall?”

Amie, who I also call A-to-the-double-R-O, responded unequivocally, “The Row”. It is that line by those Olsen twins…you know Mary-Kate and Ashley. I know it sounds weird but check it out”. When Amie speaks about fashion, I listen. So off I went to The Row. Loved it. Amie is batting 1000 with her fashion picks.

The Row offers sleek, sexy, modern pieces. Tres sophisticated in my view. The fall collection is very black with some touches of white…no-nonsense but high style silhouettes. Loving The Row!

Black with touches of white is always de rigeur in home decor too…so with New York Fashion Week getting started soon…another post where fashion and home decor meet.

Thank goodness black is still “in”. I would be doomed to nakedness if all of a sudden the fashion world decided to eliminate black…my entire fall and winter wardrobe is black with specks of a few other colors here and there. Phew.

What do you think about black in home decor? I love it in fashion and think I might like a bit of it here and there in the home….what say you dear reader?

Have a great back to school and day after the long weekend.

Must go get dressed (in black) for work….long day which includes a work party tonight…hmmmm…what to wear?

    This is my fav way to dress…and I am adding loads of black to my apartment. If we ever have a home of our own again I plan to do all black and white with pops of color….wonderful post!

    I like black dresses, they look so elegant, even when colors are my life. I am painting through synesthesia which makes me see colors when I hear names and numbers. These colors I transform in paintings.

    Great to learn I am on par with current color trends! I was just thinking of adding some black & white chair pads to tone down my Napoleon dining chairs. I guess B&W can never go out of fashion.

    I went to the Row website, it was interesting they only make the clothes in sizes 2 4 & 6!

    While I’ve never been a fan of the Olsen twins their Fall collection is beautiful! It reminds me of early Calvin Klein! As for the black furniture, I’ve always been told every room needs something black be it upholstery or furniture. My favorite set shown is the desk and bench whhic I would LOVE to have!

A 90s home in Amman, Jordan, entirely remodelled by local artisans. Neo-Florentine bones, Levant-eclectic sensibility, arched passageways, and a flea-market-meets-commissioned-art collection that makes every wall feel intentional.
What makes it work: restraint where you’d expect excess, and boldness where you’d expect safety.
This is what happens when a home is built by people who actually know the place. 🖤
Save this, it’s a masterclass in culturally rooted design.

Panic mode activated!
If you only have 10 minutes, focus on these three things:
1. Make the bed. It instantly makes the whole room look cleaner.
2. Fold or straighten the throw blanket and pillows.
3. Clear visible clutter from nightstands and the floor.
That’s it. Those three steps make the biggest visual impact without deep cleaning.
Save this for the next time you need a fast bedroom reset. 🔖

Black is not a bold choice. It’s a neutral, and one of the most versatile ones in design.
The rooms that get it right treat black the same way others treat white or greige: as a foundation that lets everything else breathe. The texture of the wall. The warmth of the wood. The drama of the marble. Black doesn’t compete, it amplifies.
Save this the next time someone talks you out of going dark. 🖤

Life when I’m offline. 🎣 On this trip to Park CitLife when I’m offline. 🎣
On this trip to Park City, UT, I was way off line with a little fly fishing. No emails. No DMs. No feed. Just a rod, a beautiful river, and however long it takes to catch something.
Running two brands means my brain rarely stops so when it does, it really does.
No fish were harmed. All fish were returned into the river.
What do you do when you log off? Comment and let's give each other some ideas!😀
