While New York’s Spring/Summer 17 Fashion Week collections were not ground-breaking shows, there were some memorable moments and beautiful clothes presented.  Delpozo’s collection was exquisite with rounded proportions and undulating lines paired back with jaw-dropping oversized dangling earrings.  Marc Jacobs presented a high-octane show from start to finish.  He supplied energy and drama that, frankly, could have been used earlier in the week.  More honorable mentions include Rosie Assoulin and Brandon Maxwell for beautiful, wearable clothing.  I love that some of the newer designers continue to impress and make strong impressions on NYFW.

Here are some of the best pieces and my favorite collections from the week.

I’ve been so inspired by all of the gorgeous interior photos I’ve recently seen on Instagram.  While white rooms always come most easily for me, these pictures are a good reminder that I could actually happily live with color-filled interiors.  Done well, high-gloss and saturated hues are stunning and almost feel like neutrals.  Here are my favorites…

The most inspirational photos from Instagram this week…  I think we all want to hold onto summer for a few more weeks.

I’m swooning over this gorgeous Palm Beach villa from Veranda Magazine.  Blue and white is one of my favorite interior color combinations.   The way it is used here feels so fresh, yet still offers tons of interest through print and pattern and dimension with the various shades of blue.  The pops of lime green and leaf green are the perfect accents to complete the color scheme, especially for the balmy Florida climate.

At the very least, it’s time to buy more blue and white vases.  It is incredible how much they add to each room.
