COLOUR COATED: AEGEAN BLUE

A major heat wave has settled into Manitoba and while I've soaked up every sun-shiney day we've been blessed with, I can't help but look for ways to beat the summer heat.
Lucky for me, Style at Home's offering a cool anecdote with their Aegean Blue summer trend. Take a look.....


Atwood Sofa, FSC-certified walnut wood base / fabric uph., Gus Modern

Greek Key Duvet + Shams, aegean blue + ivory 100% cotton sateen, West Elm

Layered Pleated Swing Dress, in Teal, Forever 21

Slice swoon blue mounted shelf [left] | Carlson II blue tower [right], CB2

Vaster LED Pendant Light Fixture, steel shade in Blue / acrylic diffuser, Ikea

I've been admiring this watery, Mediterranean-inspired shade of blue on everything from cute cocktail dresses to chic home decor accessories and furnishings. Keep it simple with just one or two strong blue accents. Or, for real Mediterranean punch, have some fun with the region's signature greek-key design! 

I don't know about you, but I'll happily embrace this cool and classic aesthetic!

  2. I love blue. Can't believe that Ikea is trying to make a Hicks pendant knock-off - awesome!

  5. I'm not close enough to "hop over" to Forever 21, but if I could, I think I would, for that adorable dress. :)

  7. It's somehow bold and pretty all at one. Love the dress too. I have a similar one from Zara and wear it with a skinny belt.

    1. A skinny belt would look fabulous with that dress. Great suggestion.
