Albertina Loves: Stripes

So happy to be here at The Peak of Tres Chic again!  This is Albertina from Mimosa Lane, back for our ninth installment of the "We Love" series where Sam and I swap posts for the day.  Today Sam and I are focusing on stripes- vertical, horizontal, black and white or multicolored- stripes are elegant and timeless for both you and your home.  For the home I'm focusing on a less traditional stripe that adds interest to the room and for you a classic black and white stripe with the cutest elbow patches you ever did see:

For the home I'm loving lucite chairs mixed in with fun pinks in the wallpaper and apple green pillows.  A chandelier like this one can only add excitement.  And I would die to have this beautiful floral arrangement at my dining table every night for dinner. It's so romantic and elegant no? 

And some stripes for you with this heart elbow patch sweater paired with this perfect black skirt.  This cute clutch really goes with anything.

How do you feel about stripes for you and/or your home?  Do you have any to date?

Come see what Sam's favorite striped things are over at Mimosa Lane!

Black and White and Striped All Over

It has been a crazy morning around our office, so I apologize for my delay in posting today.  I can't stay long but did want to share with you my latest obsession- black and white stripes.  Our design firm has been involved in a few commercial projects lately, which has me daydreaming about designing a fab office space or swanky hotel lounge.  I'd love to add drama through black and white striped curtains, textiles, or even a wall...

I may be a little out of touch the next few days to celebrate holiday festivities, but as always, I'll be tweeting and instagramming with you all.  There will also be a few more tweeks to my blog, so bear with me! I hope you will follow along and have a great 4th of July! XOXO, Sam
