Osborne & Little inspiration

Maharani by Osborne & Little.


I have a small obsession with Osborne & Little's collection of wallpaper, and it continues with my discovery of this one - the Maharani!  I know!  It's amazing, isn't it!  I love the shades of purple & gray with the pops orange and persimmon - gorgeous!  I've been totally inspired!












Mandarin orange garnet & natural african amethyst gold filled necklace.


I love a dress with cowboy boots - this one is gorgeous!
(thanks for introducing me to this designer Elizabeth!)

I also just hand-dyed a couple of slips in purple and the brightest burnt orange - I promise to post some pics - they came out great.  This is a super easy & cheap way to replicate some of the beautiful vintage dyed slips in fancy boutiques.  I use a vegetable dye (feels less chemically) and you can make that as saturated or pastel-y as you like.  Perfect for under your favorite dress!
