Natural Beauty

I love the November cover of Elle Spain. Particularly, I am drawn to the color of the font. Is it toffee or caramel? I love it. I could design an entire house with that color layered with cognac leather, boucle and mohair fabrics. How about cashmere drapes in that color cuffed in leather? Now that's fabulous.

The cold air and fallen leaves here in New England certainly has influenced what I am dreaming about in design the past couple weeks. Natural materials, cable knits, wool and mohair velvet, Morrocan rugs, leather, textures and earth tones and...oh..of course, Louboutin boots and toffee candy apples.
