Runway to Nursery: Comfort & Whimsy Redefined

This week’s Runway to Nursery post is inspired by Burberry’s Fall/Winter 2012 collection where sophistication meets whimsy in an array of different, yet complimenting, textures and textiles.  From the cute ‘owl’ inspired tees to the amazingly well fitted pencil skirts, this fall collection truly reflects the current trends in nursery decor.  Check out my take on this style where comfy fabrics, hints of bold colour, and quirky graphics work perfectly together.

Colour Wednesdays: Let There be Orange…

Fall is here… and its my favourite time of year (what can I say, I’m October born)!  As we wind down into the cooler months we begin moving towards some of the warmer fall hues.  I’m loving orange right now, so I thought for this week’s colour post I’ll showcase some of the hottest nursery decor items in this hue.

Inspiration: The Well Traveled Child

So Restoration Hardware Baby & Child has done it again!  They released their Fall 2012 catalogue, and to be honest, I am not surprised with the caliber of products being offered.  Always right on the mark, RH Baby & Child have some of the most wonderful themes for decor, and their collections of furniture have left me breathless.

One of the themes that I want to showcase is what I call ‘The Well Traveled Child’ theme.  These items are perfect for that adventurous, free spirited child that needs to let their inner traveler loose.  Check out these awesome picks to complete your little traveler’s room.

These Landmark Sketches can be bought for $275 as a set of 3, or individually at $99 each

For bedding options the Atlas Print Duvet Cover for $139-$169 continues the traveler theme, and if you want to go with a more modern traveler decor element the European World Tour Percale Sheet Set $149-$214 is a great option.

This Earth Desk Globe $89 lights up to function as a lamp as well as an educational decor item.

The above Hand-Folded Vintage Map Dresses bring me great joy.  I love that Restoration Hardware is embracing the idea of the female adventurer by including the ‘Fashion Roadmap’.  This marriage of travel and fashion is ingenious, and it is available in the maps of Paris and Rome for $599 each.
