Butter Yellow is this season’s effortlessly elegant color choice for those seeking a bit more quiet luxury in their everyday life.

From evening gowns and tailored trousers to blazers and ballerina slippers, Butter Yellow is the ideal color for this spring/summer season because it’s surprisingly sophisticated.

Pair it with crisp whites, soft browns or bold black colors for that spring ready look. I just simply love this Ilkyaz Ozel dress from Moda Operandi.

And at home, you can use the Butter Yellow color tones on sofas, drapes and accent pieces. All of them will create a calm and inviting space. These plates by Villeroy & Boch are simply beautiful.

The No Hassle Tassel

Historically, tassels have been a symbol of serious stature but I find them to be fun and fringy.  

Today, tassels are the perfect accent piece. From earrings and purses to light fixtures and pillows, they can accessorize any outfit or space.

These tassels are definitely worth the hassle!

Gemstone colors are the hottest trend right now. My favorite: Sapphire!

Incorporating deep purples and blues will add a level of sophistication and luxury to any look.

This Albion mini tote by Sophie Hulme paired with this beautifully designed study by Nannette Brown makes me swoon.

Embrace your birthstone. It’s trending right now.

Sometimes MORE can be a good thing!

Mixing bold colors and layering unique patterns can energize any outfit or room.

Love this look from Roberto Cavalli and this Chinoiserie room setting from an amazing anonymous designer. 

Don’t be afraid to awaken your wild side.

It may technically still be summer, but the weather isn’t always warm this time of year. And, it can be especially frustrating on the feet. Sandals? Peep Toes? Booties?

Yes, the end of summer often leaves fashionistas caught between two wardrobes in a state of limbo. But, it doesn’t have to anymore.

This honey combed caged sandal by Gianvito Rossi bridges this fashion divide. Consider it the perfect transition from summer to fall because it’s a hybrid sandal and bootie.

It just screams, “Bring on the cool temperatures, I still look hot!"

And, this Vero chair by Arteriors does the same. It’s a great example of how traditional outdoor furniture materials like iron and linen can transition effortlessly from the outdoor patio to the formal sitting area. Its unique style can be the ideal accent to any room.

Don’t be afraid to rock the cage. Get inspired and mix your summer and fall attire!

You don’t need to live in the wild wild west to rock fringe this spring and summer season.

The iconic western flare has been transformed into a sensual piece of art.

This look by Altazuurra is from their SS 2014 collection and combines classically clean lines with a surprising element of come hither fringe. What makes this outfit really stand out is the long, black leather strips.  They contemporize the customary camel-colored suede accents and elevate the overall look from “country cowgirl” to “city chic.”

These easy flowing thin strands can be incorporated into the home to create the same desire and sex appeal.

Take this Guernica lounge chair by Laura Kirar for McGuire furniture.  It combines all the elements of seduction and sophistication. In addition to being a perfect fit for a modern day log cabin in Aspen, it would feel right at home in any urban loft setting.

Pony up this season and buy yourself something fringe worthy!
