EVERYTHING OLD IS NEW AGAIN OLIOHOP

 Today's issue of Monday Mashup is a fun one.

 I've been seeing a wonderful combination of Fashion+Decor in many design markets.  This year Highpoint Market has a great focus on fashion the week of October 13-18th. 

With my degree in Apparel Design, I am more than just a little excited about the emphasis on Fashion+Decor.  The apparel and decor industry really do influence each other each year in a circular "fashion".

This month's OlioHop collaboration (which I have been talking about for the past week) is focused on Fashion+Decor as well.  
So without further ado... 



I can hardly resist the timeless brilliance of Christion Dior and the legend of Marilyn Monroe.  Over time designs, fashions, styles and colors will always come back around.



Window shopping with Fashion+Decor. 


A department store window with Marilyn Monroe in The Seven Year Itch, featuring Layla Grayce and vintage apparel from Posh Girl Vintage.

When designing a room I try to combine the old and new using  vintage, flea market finds and perhaps inherited antiques.  Combine these with new or custom pieces to bring the decades together in a single beautiful space.


A lovely collage of aged items, furniture and decorative pieces.




New, fresh tables and chairs mixed with accents for the home.




A pairing in the Paint Gallery of Fashion+Decor.
Dior makeup, revolutionary products of glamorous colors.
Bring new life to old furniture.  Recycle, upcycle, refinish, refurbish, call it what you will.  Everything Old Is New Again with a finish of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint TM.




Headgear for all.  Regardless if you're going to church or adding a little something extra to a lamp base its always in style to try and make a statement.
It's the little details that can top off your look.


Influences throughout the years always find their way back into design.  So many memorable icons, so much joy and so many memories.
