Ikat is Everywhere: Schue Love

My girl Natasha is here from Schue Love and she's sharing one of her favorite design and fashion trends of 2011! It happens to be one of mine, too!

Hello to all of Michaela's lovely readers! I'm Natasha from Schue Love and I'm having fun playing Michaela today! As always, I am constantly inspired by Michaela's beautiful blog and happy to share my favorite trend for 2011 {so far at least!}.

I heart ikat! I'm seeing it everywhere and not just on home decor prodcuts...but in the fashion world as well! There is something so beautiful about the bold and colorful patterns...I just can't get enough of it! I'll show you what I mean...

Ikat looks great as fabric on chairs...loving the chevron rug too.

Or as a fabulous print on a dress!

These Anthro bowls are uber versatile...I want one in every color they come in!

I love ikat on the curtains and pillows...the two compliment each other perfectly, don't you think?

And I'm pretty sure I need this J.Crew purse...the ikat is subtle and lovely.

Ikat and succulents? Perfection!

For those of you that know me...you also know how much I love scarves...this one is so SO pretty!

Isn't this final space stunning?? There are many things to love about this space, but certainly the ikat stool is not to be missed.

So...what do you think about ikat? Will you be adding it into your home or wardrobe anytime soon? I know I will! :)

Thanks for having me Michaela...I had a blast, as always!

I think all bloggers love a healthy dose of ikat! That scarf is FAB. Happy Tuesday, sweet friends. Hope you're all having a great week!
