Elephant Pillows - Splurge Steal

I love these whimsical throw pillows which have a global and eclectic feel. The pillow on the left is from John Robshaw – one of my favorite textile designers. It carries a price tage of $175 so if you love this look but don’t want to break the bank the option on the right from World Market offers the same chic look as the John Robshaw version at a fraction of the price. The main difference? The John Robshaw version features a print that was hand-painted on a linen/cotton blend fabric with a luxe goose down insert. Because they’re hand-painted, …

One of the trends for Spring that I’m totally loving is the abundance of soft, candy colored pastel hues.

Style Stalking - So Haute - Taylor Tomasi-Hill (5)

Looks like style star Taylor Tomasi-Hill has moved into a fabulous new apartment! (See our previous feature on her old home here.) The former fashion editor-turned artistic director for Moda Operandi recently gave Vogue.com a peek inside her new apartment which is a bright, loft-like space with an industrial-chic vibe and eccentric touches that mirror her quirky fashion choices. I’m especially loving the Rorschach inkblot-inspired wallpaper from Eskayel shown in the photo above.  See more of Taylor’s style at home below and you can see the full photo slideshow here on Vogue.com!
