Coming to realize as of late that I need a good stripe…I don’t have any strong stripes in my life right now. Last fall I bought a bunch of striped clothing and returned it, I started a post on horizontal striped walls and never finished it, I thought about designing a striped throw for the COCOCOZY collection but never got around to it…oh…I do have some striped pillows for my outdoor living room…but that is it on the stripes…I NEED MORE STRIPES IN MY LIFE!
Love the striped chairs in the photo above…they are the perfect accent to the bright little window seat area…the stripes liven up this alcove most definitely.
Stripes are cheery, springy, happy and all other good things ending in y. Stripes here I come.

Since my son was born I have always bought him striped shirts. He is now ten and I still buy him striped shirts…wish I could have taken a picture every year at the same time with a favorite striped shirt. What I’m getting at is yes I love stripes and you can add polka dots to the mix. In fact the ladies at my local consignment call me stripes because of my fondness for them. Colorful, neutral, bright, pastel…doesn’t matter I love it all!
Stripes simply so classic and always stunning!

Both of the striped dresses are fantastic!! I love stripes although I don’t own many striped things…yet 🙂
Stripes!!! Oh yes in fact black and white stripes are kind of a signature pattern of mine. Have always had them in my home, now in a green and white stripe in wallpaper for dining room and in my wardrobe in all kinds of colors. I pretty much have never met a stripe I don’t like. The Kate Spade dress you have pictured is so adorable and if I were younger and thinner it would be mine!!! Kathysue
I love stripes, too! I’m especially in love with the narrow little stripes in vintage ticking, and have them all over my house. I’m thinking about striping the walls of my family room, which has twelve foot ceilings, in wide, pale stripes, to take up some volume and to match the striped vintage French Riviera fabric pillows I have in there from assorted beach clubs. On clothes? I can’t live without stripes!
I have stripes in my Life and could use more…anyone know what is the fabric used on the chairs in the 1st photo? love, love!!
Love stripes, always classic and in style!
I love your post- I just did a post on stripes also! I absolutely adore that table! I’m showing it to a client, thanks! -Roberta
I’m such a fan of stripes…love the Kate Spade dress!!
Love stripes, especially that Anthro dress!
I guess we fell involve with the same dress!!!
Voila!
Stripes are fun and always evoke summer feelings in me!
I love stripes! In fact I have the opposite problem of yours. I can get too carried away. My husband constantly asks me if I own anything other than a strip shirt!
I love stripes too..particularly for spring and summer..i’m thinking of replacing the moroccan rug in my bedroom to a striped dhurrie for summer…love the anthro dress…such gorgeous colors…lovely post coco…do stop by my blog when you have a moment!! xx meenal
I love stripes. They grow up with you in a way spots never do (even though I like spots too). Happy Thursday, Nicolex
Totally loving the Stripes!Those chairs are crazy!
I am crazy over stripes right now. I literally can’t stop buying striped things.. clothes… fabrics … it’s a sickness, really.
I think my love of stripes is bordering on an obsession. I keep unintentionally adding stripes to my wardrobe, but haven’t done so as much with interiors yet-although I love the look. (I did purchase the striped West Elm shower curtain though).
I love stripes and I love your blog. I just found you through Madebygirl. Great ideas.
I have always been drawn to stripes… esp chunky stripes… please finish your striped throw (or maybe a pillow?)
