Welcome!

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday!! We hope everyone had a great and restful weekend! Did anyone do anything fun? :) Here’s to another fantastic week!! If you haven’t seen our latest tutorial, you definitely should! We shared our adorable (and relatively simple) Macarons Pillows Tutorial last week. Be sure to check it out HERE!

It’s time for this week’s Moody Monday. Today we are featuring a sophisticated, modern, and classic collection…Kate by Camelot Design Studio! Kate is a collection of grapefruit, indigo, and chartreuse tones that encapsulates a very warm and rustic vibe. The ogee, tiled, lattice, and chevron patterns add a playful touch to this otherwise sleek collection. Kate calls for a dressed-up affair – a rooftop 5 a 7 or garden party…you are ready for anything! Any of the designs in this collection would look stunning as a simple shift dress, a necktie, or a couple of pillows to add some flair to your living space. The possibilities are endless! :)

The color palette of Kate makes for an especially polished and refined feel, and this outfit that Jessica Biel sports definitely resembles just that. Jessica Biel is a very reserved actress, with very scant highlights in the press (which is a good thing!). Her demure sophistication is definitely displayed in her modern eggplant and coral ensemble. The dual tones of coral/tangerine tones add for a very pretty monochromatic look…which she completed with a complementary eggplant-hued jacket, bag, and pair of heels. This outfit gives a very similar feel to our Kate collection, in both tones and feel. Such a lovely look…great job, Jessica! You can check out the full Kate Collection HERE! :)

We hope you have enjoyed this week’s Moody Monday and have been inspired…to wear a monochromatic look, or just a pop of eggplant of coral in your look. Have a great day, everyone! :)

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday! We hope you all had a restful, fun weekend! :) Here’s to another lovely week! Have you entered our Pinterest Giveaway yet? We are giving away a Petite Plume by Andrea Turk FQ Bundle this week, so be sure to enter HERE! :)

It’s time for our Moody Monday! Today we are inspiring you with our Love Letters by Jane Farnham for Camelot Fabrics Collection! There are oh-so many things that we love here at the Camelot Design Studio: pretty tulle skirts, adorable furry animals, glitter, all things ruffled…and of course, fabric! ;) You can also see more of what we love on our Pinterest Board, What We Love! Love Letters is all about just that, love, and showing the ones you love how much you appreciate them. This collection is a stunning palette of pink, navy, turquoise, and soft green hues decorated in kitsy hearts, twigs, and floral patterns. One awesome SKU in this collection is the Gift Tags, which can be used for gifting to all the loved ones to your heart’s content. The Alphabet design is a fun way to personalize a quilt or other project, either with a meaningful saying or name! Love Letters is the perfect collection for sharing those three little words with the ones you care about, in a very special way.

We are so inspired by our Love Letters by Jane Farnham Collection! One Spring RTW 2014 collection that especially encapsulates the essence of Love Letters is that of Burberry Prorsum’s! This collection is absolutely stunning with its mint, pink, and lavender color palette in soft chiffon and lace. What especially sparks our love affair with this collection is the bejewelled details that are so bold, but beautiful and eye-catching! We love a good statement piece or bit of sparkle!! We especially love this ensemble, as well as this one. So delicate and so pretty! Be sure to check out the full Burberry Prorsum Collection HERE!

Thanks for reading this week’s Moody Monday! Have a beautiful rest of the day, everyone! :)

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday! How was everyone’s weekend? It’s official Summer now…Happy Summer!! Here’s to yummy BBQs, fun get-togethers, and warmer weather!! :)

It’s time to start off the first week of Summer with out Moody Monday! Today we are inspiring you with our Black & Tan Collection by the Camelot Design Studio. Black & Tan is an absolutely beautiful, sleek collection of herringbone, houndstooth, chevron and animal print (leopard and zebra…how fun, right?) designs in a mix of black, white, and tan. This collection is strong, modern, and has an affluent appeal…it reminds us of all the business men and women, busily rushing to and from work on Wall Street, dressed in fitted dark suits, mahogany or black shoes, and matching briefcases. And then after work, taking a quick stop…into Barney’s of course!

Black & Tan is a great collection to mix into any current décor with its neutral colors and prints, and would make for the perfect throw quilt. How about a matching foldover clutch and full skirt? Yes, please! :) Be sure to check out the full Black & Tan collection here!

Didit Hediprasetyo’s Spring 2014 Couture Collection is the epitome of 50s-inspired and classic, in both silhouettes and patterns.  The collection features neutral black and brown tones but in some really fun prints – tweed, houndstooth, and leather! We absolutely adore the mix between black and tan, two strong colors that go really well together is paired properly. We love Didit Hediprasetyo’s twist on a retro jumpsuit in houndstooth, especially with the little glints of shimmer and leather detailing. This collection definitely reminds us of our Black & Tank collection, and we especially love this look…and this one! You can check out the full collection HERE! :)

We hope we have inspired you today with this week’s Moody Monday!! Have a great day, everyone! :)

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday! We hope you all had a fantastic weekend, and a wonderful Father’s Day! We are hosting our Facebook Neon & On FQ Bundle Giveaway for a couple more days…so be sure to enter HERE if you haven’t yet! :)

It’s time to start off this week with our Moody Monday! Today we are inspiring you with our Singin’ the Blues by Jackie McFee Collection!! Singin’ the Blues, as the name suggests, is a spectacular collection encompassing different shades of blue. The vibrant mix of cobalt blue, topaz, and mint colors reminds us of the ocean…we could definitely imagine a beach vacation somewhere near the Mediterranean Sea with these blue hues, and the stunning chevron, dot, medallion, and lattice designs. But if you can’t whisk yourself away to a beach vacation right now, you can create that same feel with a Mediterranean-inspired room. Imagine ocean-inspired curtains, elegant chevron pillows, and a matching modern, blue-hued quilt! Who really needs a getaway now…right? :) See the full collection here!

We love getting inspired by the runway trends for the upcoming season! One show that particularly is reminiscent of our Singin’ the Blues Collection is that of Chloe‘s Spring RTW line. The whole Chloe collection reminds us of a tropical, Mediterranean vacation…and the essentials you’d want to pack! Think loose, but still sleek, silhouettes in earthy tones, white, and blues in beautiful draping and flowy materials. So so pretty!

We especially adore this one here, as well as this one, which reminds us of Singin’ the Blues in both color palette and design. You can check out the full Chloe RTW Spring 2014 collection here!

We hope you have enjoyed this week’s Moody Monday! Let us know what some of your favorite Spring/Summer 2014 trends are. Have a wonderful day!

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!
