It’s the start of a new week and I thought I’d kick things off with another Trend Alert post. This time it’s about traditional Native American headdresses. A little something you may not know about me is that my grandmother’s grandmother was Cherokee Indian… okay, so that only makes me 1/16th, but I think that’s pretty cool.

So, without further adieu, here are my top 5 headdress picks.

If you’re looking to add a little luxe to your space, look no further than tufted furniture. Tufting details lend a sense of sophistication to a space without going over the top. I prefer tufted furniture in a neutral or basic color like cream or gray. No need to over-do it, you often only need one piece and you’ve got instant glam.

Here are a few idea starters for adding tufted furniture to a room in your home.

Here are 5 floors that I’m absolutely loving right now.

Today I’m trading in feminine-chic for masculine-handsome. Presenting the “Dapper Man Cave”. No kegs or neon signs here… just an ultra-handsome hangout that’s hip, distinguished and a little bit seductive. Despite the mounted bullhead (don’t worry, it’s faux), this man cave reads more Don Draper than Paul Bunyan. It’s a versatile space that’s the perfect mix of modern and rustic; masculine enough for him, but polished enough for her (that is, if she’s ever allowed to enter :))

Any other items or finishing touches you’d like to see in the “cave”?

Okay, time to get excited, I’m back again today with another trend alert. Understated it isn’t, but fabulous it is. Inspired by the iconic Beverly Hills Hotel, the palm print trend is back!

Personally, I’m loving the bold color and fun pattern. Here are just a few instances of palm print done right.

What do you think? Are you ready to go bold?
