Rocky Mountain High...

What's old is new again and guess what?? Brass is back people!!

I am a HUGE fan of the one passe trend. Currently  in a kitchen re-design I am working on  I am going full throttle on this brass/gold motif for the hardware. It's perfect to mix and match with many metals & stainless steel is no different. It's just a hint of sparkle & glam with just the little touches.

Rocky Mountain Hardware is an amazing hardware company that has great traditional yet very modern styles with amazing quality.   I haven't found many that currently compete.  I go gaga for gold/brass in the kitchen and here are a few examples that will get you going gaga too!

RMH doesn't just carry hardware for kitchen & bath, they also offer everything from custom lighting  to window casings and home accessories. Want brass house numbers or a game of horseshoes? Yup, they got it! 

I hope this post has inspired you to embrace this brass trend. I am sold!

Adore Chambray...

It was 1993 and I was obsessed with button down shirts. My most favorite was a worn washed denim button down that I got at the Gap. I wore this shirt with jeans mostly trying to match the colors perfectly. It was what you wore as a freshman in HS because it was rad.
This look has since been labeled the "Canadian Tuxedo".  I thought I looked so cool.

Fast forward 20 years (really, it's been that long!?!?!) and I am once again in love with that denim shirt now labeled the "chambray".

My styling and fashion sense has expanded so much since those high school days and I am now pairing this button down with everything from skirts & black pants to colored denim & layering it under cozy sweaters and blazers. It is my go to item in my closet when I don't know what to wear & it has replaced a cardigan for many of my outfits. I especially adore it mixed with a bold print like leopard.

 Here are a few of my favorite looks!

Mixed with a striped maxi and a pop of red.

A short emerald green skirt & gold belt.

Cream blazer & simply gold jewelry.

White blazer & gold sequin shorts.

Black leggings/jeans & brown boots

Light gray sweater & black/dark wash jeans.

Who can deny this looks AH-MAZING. Chambray over a wedding dress with cowboy boots.

The sky is the limit when pairing the Chambray shirt. Anything goes!
