La vita è bella con Missoni Home

Missoni Home always brings a fresh perspective to the soft goods department. Their 2011 collections are out and as usual, the whole line is wonderfully full of energy and color. Rosita Missoni is the designer behind the exuberant collection and along with revered Italy-based home textiles producer, T&J Vestor, she has created a line that celebrates not only vivacious Italian style, but also top-notch Italian quality.

I'm attracted to the bold palette and the fearless combination of geometric patterns. It's not likely that I would drench a whole room in Missoni Home, however, because each piece packs a lot of punch and thus a little goes a long way! Even if Missoni Home isn't your style, it's certainly a visual treat. Have a look...

Missoni Home's personality is definitely evocative of warm temps and carefree summers on the Italian coast. I still adore last year's catalog for it's dreamy, summery images...

I'm officially ready for summer now, how about you?

What do you think of Missoni Home's product line? If you love it and want to shop it, a few online retailers carry the collection including:

Unica Home

Saks Fifth Avenue

All Modern

JRenee

Any favorite items? Being a blanket hoarder, I've always wanted one of their throws!

Ode to Chevron

You might have picked up on the fact that I love the chevron motif. It's bold, classic, and fun...plus it looks great in a variety of contexts. Time and time again I've lusted over zig zag goodies, so I figured a whole post dedicated to all things chevron was in order. It's such a happy pattern, don't you think?
