Fashionably Flexible: Day to Night 3 Ways + Pin Your Style Contest

Let’s talk flexibility – in life, in your wardrobe, and in technology. I think it’s something that’s easy to take for granted when we have it in our possession, and something greatly missed when it is not. For example, a great outfit that takes you seamlessly from your day to night plans. Or a great piece of technology like the Envy x2 with Intel Inside® that has the power of two devices in one, both laptop and tablet.

Sunglasses Pouch

Roxy Marj Eye & Sunglasses Pouch-Design Crush

I have a really bad habit of just tossing my sunglasses into my purse when I’m through wearing them. And I can’t tell you how many pairs have been laid to rest because of a scratch dead center of a lens. I bet one of these Roxy Marj Pouches might give me a good incentive to clean up my act.

Martone Cycle Co.

Martone Cycle Co-1-Design Crush

 

It’s been awhile since I’ve crushed on a bicycle company, but yesterday I was introduced to Martone Cycle Co. and now I can’t stop thinking about this lady in red. (Pun only somewhat intended.) The company has a simple setup with one style for men and one for women, each available in five colors. A monotone bike, I love it. (via Camille Styles)

Canevas Abstract Cushions

Canevas Abstract Cushion-1-Design Crush

 

Loving these Canevas Abstract Cushions from Charlotte Lancelot. They feel like a mix of cross-stitch and pixelation, old and new techniques happily co-habitating. The pillow is made from a soft felt base with interwoven strands of wool and will give any room you place it in a healthy dose of color and texture. (via bltd)

The Statement Door

SWNPW-1-Beauti-Tone-1-Design Crush

I go crazy for a good statement door, it’s essentially the first impression your home makes on your visitors. I’ve been wanting to give mine a makeover ever since I bought my home nearly five years ago, and like a lot of projects simply haven’t had the time to devote to it. So when Sherwin-Williams asked me to participate in National Painting Week I knew just what I was going to tackle with hardly any thought – the off-white entrance to my home that was drab and unappealing and just blah.

When I started pulling together some inspiration to try and zero in on a color I realized I have a serious addiction, I had loads of front doors that I’d been bookmarking all along and had a tough decision ahead of me. Did I want classic? Maybe something more modern?

SWNPW-6-Design Crush

This door has been on my desktop for months now, so I took the hint and went with it. I used Sherwin-William’s Chip It color-matching site to find the shade I wanted, something a bit brighter than these called Energetic Orange. 

My project will be up next Wednesday along with a few tips I learned along the way. There will also be projects from 13 other design bloggers celebrating National Painting Week beginning next Monday, and each day NationalPaintingWeek.com will be sharing inspiration, ideas, and more to get your jazzed about your own painting projects. Get ready, it’s gonna be a colorful week of before and afters!

LSTN

LSTN-1-Design-Crush

 

LSTN Headphones proves a great point, why are so many instruments made of wood and headphones are not? The recycled wooden chambers in these brilliantly constructed headphones lend a warm and natural sound that produces more resonance than plastic or metal. The ebony, cherry, and beech woods come from furniture scraps that would otherwise be discarded and are never dyed. You can choose from three different styles – The Troubadour, The Fillmore, and The Bowery. Oh, and one more thing that will make you fall even more in love. Every time a pair of LSTN Headphones are purchased, all proceeds go towards their charity partners for the deaf and a child with hearing difficulties is helped.
