PUNCHY + PAINTERLY
I love the visual texture of painterly patterns on textiles... they seem even more appropriate for the summer. Like what your clothes should do if you decided to spontaneously run through the sprinkler to beat this heat...

BLUE + WHITE FLORALS: GRANDMA OR GLAMOUR?
The combination of blue and white - especially come summer time - is nothing new. But this year it seems to be popping up even more, and in all sorts of patterns and trends. The most recent manifestation being of the granny-inspired variety...
Whenever I see blue and white florals, I instantly think of grandma's fine china. It's classic, but is it fresh? Can we make it modern and glamorous? I'm beginning to think it might be possible! With a heavy dose of white combined with clean lines to counteract the antiquated pattern, it could work. Would you try this trend?

FOUND IT!
Remember last week's post on these gorgeous marbleized flamestitch textiles? Well, thanks to fabulous reader and insanely talented designer Elizabeth Dye, we've found it for you!
I'm so in love with the luxe tie-dye look of this fabric! It's like a watercolor flamestitch fantasy! Apparently Elizabeth used it for a dress she made, and found the fabric right here. A huge thanks to her for sharing the resource!

ON THE HUNT: MARBLEIZED TEXTILES
I'm loving the dreamy effect these marbleized textiles have in two very different bedrooms...
With one suite composed withe elements of unabashed glamour and the other in quiet neutral modernism, the pattern works perfectly in both. Consider me sold (and hunting for resources!).

GIVEAWAY: COCOCOZY THROW AND PILLOW!
Cococozy and I decided it was time to set the record straight (or confuse you even more) by getting together and doing a little giveaway! First off - we are not the same person, or same company - but we do adore each other! So, in support of our little friendship, and Coco's new gorgeous line of textile goods, I'm here today to share some of her pretty pieces with you!
Her fresh graphic prints are right up my alley, and I've already added her gate throw (in orange) to my own home! I can't even tell you how excited I am about her curtains too - I've just chosen one set for a client's home, and hope to use many more of her pieces in projects.
And since we bloggers love to share (and as interior designers, love to decorate!) we want to give YOU the chance to win your own piece to bring home! (Just promise to share some photos with us!). We'll be giving away the gate throw in navy, and a quatrefoil pillow in brown to two separate winners.
All you have to do to enter is head over to the cococozy shop and check out the fabulous textiles. Come back and leave us a comment letting us know your favorites, and don't forget to leave your email! For extra entries, tweet the link to this post and copy us both (@casslavalle and @cococozy) so we can track your tweets.
The contest will run for one week and we'll select two lucky winners next Wednesday. Good luck!!

THE GOODY BAG: RALPH LAUREN
It's Alissa of The Goods Design here, bringing you the best of the best of Los Angeles' interior design events, people, places and things. This week I popped into the Kravet showroom for a little Ralph Lauren Home fete. Delicious food + gorgeous fabrics = a designer who loves her job.
It seems like the next big thing these days is taking a step away from the very "designed" interiors, and moving more towards a layered look - as though it was collected over time throughout your travels.
Love it. Please sign me up immediately.

Gorgeous inspiration image from this season's Ralph Lauren Home collection. I'm obsessed with that leather chair (if you are looking for something to buy me).
The event was focused on debuting some of their new fabrics, and I fell for a few of them... like this brown zebra print (but let's be honest, I never met a zebra print I didn't love).
Believe it or not, this is a silk. It looks like something you might have picked up on your travels in India, but soft as a baby's you-know-what.
RL also revealed their upcoming outdoor collection, and that's when the oooh's and ahh's really started to happen. Their outdoor fabrics are amazingly soft and this inspiration image has me ready to throw a garden party. Now.
More gorgeous (outdoor) fabrics included an embroidered sheer based off the African kuba-cloth.
This blue ikat (on the right) combines everyone's favorites - an exotic ikat AND a chevron. Win-win! And the blue paisley on the left would be an insane outdoor drapery or banquette cushion.
I loved hearing about the design process (they create a fictional character and create an entire collection around that person) but once the fabrics were passed around, I really started to swoon. Linens with a gorgeous gold sheen, luxurious silks, timeless animal prints. So many of the fabrics came with a patina - already sun-kissed or tea-stained. I was in decorator heaven.

POWER (PATTERN) PLAY
Have you ever found a pattern you loved but thought - there's no possible way I could use this. It's just way too busy to put in my home...
Well, my friends, this is how you do it and get away with it! Keep it simple. If you're going to do this on a traditional sofa, make it a very straight lined mid-century modern style. I love the idea of the bench seats though - the fabric almost appears to float, and all the white helps keep things light!
The fact that the pattern is small scale helps too - the further away you are, the more the pattern blends into a solid. And, did you notice how symmetrical each cushion is? They're exactly the same, helping give order to what could be total visual chaos. That's the work of a professional! I'm also loving the color punches added to the rest of the room - especially the ceiling! Very well played.

THE MAR A MAR COLLECTION
I am a huge fan of the bold, worldly patterned rugs at Decorative Carpets, and am loving their latest collection - Mar a Mar...
Such a variety of influences here, I don't know which would be my first pick! Aqua zig zags? Blue deco fans? Red medallions? If you've never browsed through their site, I recommend it - if nothing else some major pattern and color inspiration awaits!

CHINTZY CHIC?
Exactly one week from today I'll be turning 30. Maybe this accounts for a total change of heart and sudden love for vintage inspired chintz and florals? Or maybe Designers Guild has just done a genius job in making the motif incredibly appealing...
Loving the garden roses on the left paired with the classic octagon pattern (and grey+white stripes!) on the right. Can I put them both in a room? Maybe just line them up together down the hallway? (I'm kidding people. I haven't gone senile quite yet...)
But seriously - have I lost it? Or is this not making you want to update the 'chateau' with fresh panels of colorful florals? Well, at least the guest room. Which is exactly what I'm doing for my old bedroom at my parent's house... You can expect a peek at it when it's all done! And lots more floral inspiration on the blog to come...

I LOVE...
Everything about this pillow for fall...
The colors. The pattern. The price. In fact, I love it so much that I included it in my must-haves list for Sloane Magazine, and I've been having to stop myself from sharing it until the article was up! Have you checked it out yet?
For the full page, actually readable version, click on over right here. And of course all the runners-up will be making their appearance soon as my birthday wishlist arrives in a couple of weeks! Lots more goodies to come!

C+K SPONSOR: ATTISER LINENS
I've been in quite the nesting mood lately, looking at all my options for switching things up around the house - pillows, bedding, table linens, you name it! So when the Attiser website first came my way a month ago, I was positively smitten!
Their bedding, curtains and pillows are all so fresh and the colors are some of my favorites (especially that citron green and aqua!).
Not looking to revamp your decor? Then maybe your tabletop could use some inspiration! The fresh style lends itself well to spring and summer entertaining, but I'm already picturing the rich jewel tones for Thanksgiving or the green for Christmas as a little non-traditional addition to the table.
Best of all, each of these pieces are handmade in India under high quality and ethical standards (and the pricing is just as fair too!) so be sure to browse through this lovely sponsor's website to check out all of their goodies!

COZY UP TO CALPYSO
I think may be color-starved from living with a boy for so long (ok, it's been a little over a year, but still) because lately I'm going through a fuchsia phase and the latest home goodies from Calypso are calling my name...
Don't think it's coincidence that half of these beauties are zig zags. (Gotta love 'em!) If I could makeover my bedroom right this second, I'd top that purple rug with a zig zag ottoman and my bed with that lovely little throw... something kinda like this...
Yum.
