20 Nov Style in Seven - Rachel of Little Bits of Lovely

B&B is one of my daily reads so I was thrilled when Christine asked me to participate in her fabulous series. I had a lot of fun putting this post together, I do hope you enjoy it!
1. Classic
I love nothing more than a classic, tailored look that exudes timelessness & lasts for many seasons.
The classic Breton stripe features in my wardrobe and decor numerous colours and style variations. I love them because they are so easy to mix and match and go with pretty much everything.
As much as I do love colour, I can never resist the combination of black and white. Paired together they can either make a fabulously bold statement or, they can have the complete opposite effect and create a sense of minimalism and calm. Mostly, I just love the contradiction.
I’m a firm believer that dressing up rather than dressing down is always more appropriate, a philosophy that is also reflected in my home. Whether it is a splash of leopard, a luxe candle or decadent lighting, who can resist a little bit of glamour?
I’m definitely a city girl at heart, but on occasion I do like escaping to the country. I find there is something rather comforting about country style homes, even if it is just small touches like how flowers are presented.
Decorating using books is an art in itself, especially when you have beautiful books - then the possibilities are endless. I’m currently crushing on tall open bookshelves that give a room a great feeling of space.
Being a lover of all things pretty I adore incorporating feminine touches wherever I can. Not only do feminine touches immediately soften a room, they can also create a sense of warmth and playfulness which I find incredibly alluring!
Thank you Christine for having me today!
