10 Apr Texture Tuesday: Color Blocking

The hottest 2012 spring trend is undoubtedly color blocking. Flip through any magazine and you’ll be sure to find color blocking on the runways and on the hottest celebrities. Color blocking is about pairing bold,unexpected hues to create a refreshing pop of color. It’s time to pull out your favorite, brightly colored pieces and start mixing them. There are no limits of combinations you can create in your closet or in your home. You call pull the hottest trends right off the runways and incorporate them into your home decor. Like this over sized vintage “Lourenti” scarf pillow (found at Aviary Lounge and on the Deborah Main Web site) can be great on the backdrop of a modern  bed or leather couch.

Oversized Vintage Silk “Lourenti” Scarf

We were also so honored and excited to be featured in the first issue of Austin American-Statesman’s REAL ““Authentic Austin Living” magazine that debuted on March 30. According to the Association of Magazine Media, the number of magazines in North America has been climbing, growing from 17,694 in 2001 to 20,707 in 2010 so the Austin American-Stateman is confident REAL will be successful. According to the site, “the publication — which will replace the Statesman-produced magazine Glossy — will touch on fashion, home design, health and fitness, neighborhoods, food, family, pets, events and more. The goal in launching REAL was to be able to offer broader content and reach a larger portion of the Austin American-Statesman audience.” Four of our pillows were lucky to be featured (along with some other select local pillow designers such as Stone Textile, Square Feathers and Kayci Wheatley, which is also available at Aviary) in the issue. You can view several of our pillows here.
