Pretty in Punk : Met Ball 2013 Dress to Room Pairings

Posted by The English Room on May 8, 2013 in Fashion, Interior Design, Interior Designer | 2 comments

These daring broads really showed the fashion love at The Annual Costume Institute Gala at The Met with the "PUNK: Chaos to Couture" theme. This is the night of the fashion Olympics. I love watching from the sidelines and pairing loosely with a matching interior. "Met Ball Madness" from 2012 was a favorite post as I love Dress to Room Pairings.

Serape Inspired Interiors

Inspiration comes from the strangest places. En route from AMAZING The Southern C Summit back home, Lisa Mende and I stopped at a Hess Travel Plaza. We were both drawn to the 6' stack of Mexican blankets for sale for $9.99. I actually regret not getting the pretty lavender and gray one. Since then I have been dreaming of using it on a chair. Nick Olsen did it in House Beautiful. Fab, right? Nick Olsen for House Beautiful Jamie Meares of Furbish Studio Vintage Serape Arm Chair You can buy a serape HERE if you too are in need.

The Adamsleigh Showhouse is quite a treat. I could move into this mansion the moment my lotto hits. This showhouse sponsored by The Junior League of Greensboro is also sponsored by Traditional Home. This special Traditional Home connection brought in some big names such as Miles Redd, Suzanne Kasler among others. My personal favorites were the rooms of Kara Cox, Miles Redd, Lisa Mende / Traci Zeller. The talent in this big ole house is rampant. I am sharing my vignettes of my favorite spaces. Please forgive me not crediting all the designers in the house. I have lost me brochure but will get this credited ASAP. Enjoy! Room by Eric...
