PALETTE CLEANSE

{Images via (clockwise from top): 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

I'm loving gray hues again, but this time incorporating nudes and warm beige tones. Think of this post as pre-emptive, "Spring cleaning" for my mind-house, courtesy of two of my favorite interiors blogs, Stil Inspiration and A Merry Mishap. Also, how much do we love that anti-closet closet idea? Ungh, I die. Follow me on Pinterest for more inspiration!

SIMPLY PARFAIT

Oh my gawd, y'all! He's after my own heart! All those magazines and an abundance of natural light and white walls - literally, you need nothing else. The Frankfurt apartment of blogger and homosexualist Horst Meier, a total palette cleanser. Via Stil In Berlin, photos Mary Scherpe.

ACCENTED MINIMALISM

Styled by Kate Lanphear, of course. I love the kinda funky hair and the almost athletic simplicity of the clothes accented by some more delicate jewelry than I feel like we've seen in awhile. It's an especially potent combination in that first picture with the Adidas - a bit neo-Sporty Spice, no? I'm shooting an outfit this week that will hopefully speak to the restrained elegance of this shoot as well as the exuberance of the Vogue editorial I posted the other week. Find out what happens when these two worlds collide...only on *fruitpunch!
