GUEST POST: LE CATCH DISPATCH ON PASTELS!

Hi, readers! I’m Marlien Rentmeester from LE CATCH, guest posting for Coco.

Today’s topic: pastels.

Fashion-wise, they’re going to be ubiquitous this spring, from sorbet-colored Proenza Schouler bags to baby blue Chanel nail polish. All the major designers have jumped on board, including Jason Wu, Diane Von Furstenberg and Prada. As it happens, these gorgeous warm colors pictured in the outfit below–burnt orange and lavender–work well in the home as well: that’s my family’s sitting room pictured above that was featured in Lonny Magazine.

The color combination is counterintuitive, and yet they complement each other, blending together like the shades of an early morning sky. I am looking forward to wearing pastels and even pairing them, head to toe. The key to pulling off the look (both in your home and on your body) is to add in some tough accessories and a dash of black. This will keep things from looking too saccharine sweet. Here is an inspiring pastel combo to try:

3. Alexander Wang drawstring leather Diego bag, $825, alexanderwang.com
4. Jimmy Choo platform sandals, $875, mytheresa.com
5. River Island pink skinny jeans, $61, riverisland.com

Even though it’s just January, I’m so ready for spring. I might just bust out my pastels now to quell my winter blues. I’ll let you know how it goes.

    Wow, I think I got really lucky when I bought those Valentino soft peachy/pinky jeans on Gilt or another site last week! And, who doesn’t love pastels in the spring?? Lovely pieces and furnishings!

Martha's Vineyard house tour part 1. Here is a tou Martha's Vineyard house tour part 1. Here is a tour of the rental house we had in Edgartown on MV this summer. A new build about 5 minutes from the center of town. 3500 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 4 baths and a pool. House bad that beach house or coastal style decor. We were the first to rent it. What do you think? Would you rent thjs? Do you want to see the bedrooms?
It was our 2nd summer on the Vineyard. Next year, we are renting for the month. Same house. 💃🏾 I would love a bit bigger so more people could come but finding good rentals is hard on the Vineyard. Feel very lucky to have spent a magical few weeks in this spot.

Comment YES if you want to see a tour of this Mart Comment YES if you want to see a tour of this Martha's Vineyard house. I rented this house for our two week stay in Martha's Vineyard. A few minutes walk to the center of Edgartown. The house was heaven. We were the first renters to stay in this newly built house.
