Inspiring your Home and Lifestyle
Stefano Pilati of Yves Saint Laurent seems to have shared Marlon and Ati Blackwell’s preference for high-contrast when he was putting together his Resort 2010 collection.

Fashion is in serious bloom! Just as we bedeck our homes with bright bouquets and fragrant flowers, it seems designers take a cue from them when designing their runway looks. Perhaps they read the Colors in Bloom feature in the March issue of At Home in Arkansas, because Isaac Mizrahi’s petal perfect one-shouldered dress and Marchesa’s intricately elegant evening gown are strikingly similar in appearance to the arrangements we featured…
The beautifully embellished cocktail dresses featured in our November issue inspired us to find three complementary home interiors. (PS- More images and festive attire tips are available exclusively online at www.athomearkansas.com.)

This master bedroom in our current issue cover story is just as it should be: soft and serene, with a nook carved out for the Mrs. to lounge, read and relax. Designer Jim Howard of James Michael Howard, Inc. chose Benjamin Moore’s Cargo Pants for the walls and a chaise lounge from Patina. From Chanel’s Pre-Fall 2012 collection, an understated color palette of ivory silk evokes the same sort of casual meets couture feel.

Inspired by the All That Glitters feature in our November issue, I’ve gathered some of my favorite things that might add a little sparkle & shine or a dose of humor to your home. Enjoy!

Clean, classic shapes get an updated look with black-and-white prints and a hint of purple–in this Versace stunner as well as this Julie Grisham-designed living room in Little Rock (the architect was Phil Purifoy).
Jeanne Spencer, whose Little Rock garden is straight out of a Jane Austen novel, is not only a master gardener but also an avid hot tea drinker. We adore this image of her outdoor tablescape, festooned with hydrangea and blue-and-white china. And because no English lady of Jane Austen’s would take her tea without the proper attire, we also found this dress by Erdem, which is a little on the fancy side but nearly identical to Jeanne’s tabletop.
Tea, anyone?
Georgiana Gunn’s stunning collection of blue and white china lends itself well to the runway, don’t you think? Roberto Cavalli’s porcelain-inspired design debuted in 2005 on model Daria Werbowy, and can now be found in Cavalli’s 40th Anniversary Book.

Have you seen this home in our current issue? If not, you MUST check it out on our web site (here)! Such a gracious, beautifully designed home, and that’s especially true for the kitchen area! And it appears Carolina Herrera fell for the same color palette, which she used in her Spring 2012 collection.

The similarities between this Prada design and Kevin Walsh designed Little Rock living room really need no explaining. We’re loving the Sammy Peters painting in particular. Turn it into a dress and, voila! You’ve got one gorgeous spring 2010 look.
