Missoni

CARRIE: When I think of stripes, I think of Missoni.

MORGAN: All designed with Jackie Shapiro's signature style, The French Bull tableware, kitchenware, and bedding constantly reinvents what it means to be a stripe!

CARRIE: I thought it might be fun to play around with stripes. These beauties are from Jeff Perrone via dear ada.

special post: Carrie's Bridal Luncheon

MORGAN: I'm interrupting our regularly scheduled events to share some (long-overdue) photos from Carrie's Bridal Luncheon! We had great weather (which is always a gamble for August in Kansas City), great food and lots of fun!!

{ yummm: curried chicken salad wraps, corn pudding & thai cucumber pickle salad }

{ dessert: fresh strawberries served on orange-zested shortcakes with fresh whipped cream }

(All photos taken by Stephanie Revell, a great friend and co-worker of my mother's, who just happens to be an amazing photographer -- lucky us!)

CARRIE: I'm not sure how I decided to focus on daisies tonight, but I think they're fun to play with especially when they're funked up a little with some gray and turquoise.

MORGAN: This color palette was so fun to play with! I worked with type and pattern today, and since it's such a home-decor friendly palette, the little carpe diem message is going in my bedroom as a daily reminder!

turquoise, gray and goldenrod

CARRIE: I love this fun style board from Martha's Bride's Guide. Looks like we're not the only ones with a thing for gray, yellow and turquoise.

MORGAN: I took our week's color palette and went shopping at Piperlime.com! Boy am I happy with what I found, did you know Piperlime had clothes now? My favorite online shoes store might be turning into my one-stop-shop!

MORGAN: Beautiful grey and yellow wedding from The Wedding Chicks!

Anthropologie

CARRIE: I'm just doing the Domino exercise of turning the outfit into a room in reverse. This top from Anthropologie shares the fun palette of Morgan's interior photo.

cool colors

MORGAN: So, I truly have no idea where I found this photo, so please comment here if you know so that I can give proper credit....but I just thought this was a really interesting color palette to play with: grey & white plus yellow with a bit of turquoise!! yummm!
