Spring Trend: More Is More

This season bold colors, and prints that pop are trending.  No one is more colorful than the iconic Iris Apfel, and she actually has coined the phrase, "more is more." Vogue states: "When in doubt, add another bright color or maximalist print to a look—it will be a conversation starter at the season’s parties." I call this fun fashion. Scroll down to see what I found for us.

In "Pop Multi" this top is what the season is all about. It's done in 100% cotton, making it a spring and summer staple.

More To Love From The 
Etsy Collaborators

Chloe and Olive Pillows
This shop offers designer throw pillow covers and matching dog bed covers. And why shouldn't your best friend's bed match your home decor?

Tagliaferro Ceramics
Dawn Kilinger, Shop owner, describes her work as "perfectly imperfect, modern, organic tableware." And that is what I love about it. The organic shapes are unique, with a modern farm house vibe. I want the charcoal dinner plates! The charcuterie platter with matching appetizer plates is really wonderful.

Chelsea Candle Co.
This shop from Kent, England, creates high quality, scandi-inspired minimal large and mini candles, diffusers and room sprays. All of their packaging is recycled and ethically sourced. I can almost smell the fabulous fragrances. Think, sea salt and wood sage, coconut, organic lavender, earl grey tea and lemon, and many more 
organic scents. 

Keephouse Studio
This collection of organic kitchen and table linens is created by Alissa Kloet. She is inspired by the images and shapes gathered on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean where she lives. Alissa Kloet's work is all  hand screened from her original drawings. All of the five star reviews tells us why Allisa was selected to be part of this collaboration. 

Coastal Craftwork
A collection of simple but useful bowls, baskets, bags, and home decor made from handcrafted rope. No two are the same. The color blocking is quite striking.

Dee Beale
Simple designs make a big modern statement with pops of color here and there. Dee Beale is the designer and print maker. She creates her affordable works of art in her small studio in High Peak, United Kingdom.
