Hi everyone!

Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a fantastic weekend! It was super sunny and hot this weekend for us; the humidity was definitely at its high…but it was the perfect weekend for sitting by the pool, with a summer cocktail (or jumping into the pool too!). Have you seen our What We Love post? We are starting a new feature on the blog sharing with you all what we, the Camelot Design Studio, loved most for the week! :)

It’s time to start off this sunshine-filled week with our Moody Monday! Today we are inspiring you with our Cove by Camelot Design Studio collection for Spring 2014. Encapsulated in a calm colour palette of powdered blue, tan, and muted grey…this collection is very ocean-inspired. The clear waters, the gritty sand, and the smell of the salty air…these are some of things we love most about the beach, and Cove brings us back to that place. Cove mixes calming colors with modern prints of ikats, fretworks, and hexagons and would be the perfect setting for a ocean-themed room. Think tide colored pillows, a cozy blue and tan quilt, and some decorative sea glass pieces to finish off the look. If you can’t get to the beach, then creating something or decorating with Cove is the next best thing! Check out all the full Cove collection HERE!

One collection that reminds us of our Cove Collection is that of M.Patmos’ Spring 2014 RTW line. Soft hues are always on-trend for the Spring and Summer, but we have been seeing a lot of powdered blues on the runways for Spring 2014, such as at the Nina Ricci and Marchesa shows too.

There is just something so calming and serene about this muted blue color that we especially adore, which is perfect for contrasting against the hot summer temperatures. M.Patmos’ collection is a mixture of blues, greens, and tans which reminds us of clear, tropical waters. This look especially reminds us of Cove, with the stunning woven sweater and accompanying tan & powdered blue accessories. Such a beach-y look! You can check out the full collection here.

Happy Sewing!
