Sam Loves || Jewel Tones [ Valentine's Day Edition ]

February 11, 2014

For the new year Sam and I are bringing you a new look for the "We Love Series" So exciting! In Honor of Valentine's Day coming up we created a jewel tone inspiration for you. Here was the last post in the series in case you missed it. To refresh your memory Sam from The Peak of Tres Chic and I will be gathering inspiration under a certain theme a couple of times a month and sharing it with you. Sam will guest post here in my blog and I will post at Sam's. I guess you could say we are swapping for the day. Since I painted my living room walls a dark blue I'm just really digging this part of the color wheel- the purples and pinks along with it. Here is Sam-

Hi lovers! Sam here, back to kickstart another fabulous year of the "We Love" series with Albertina. With Valentine's Day 3 days away, we felt it was the perfect time to share our favorite jewel-toned outfit and interior inspiration. Being Texas girls, we are already thinking about spring weather and how to transition from the cold winter months in to warmer temperatures. I love the idea of pairing a loose fitting blouse with a graphic skirt + heels. Jewel tones also translate well in decor. They can often create an elegant aesthetic when paired together:

I have my eye on the Winston Worlds Away gold leaf coffee table. I love the shape and how it mirrors a Greek key. I also love the blush velvet pillow from Arianna Belle.

I also love the cut of the Band of Outsiders Cobalt top. The punchy color is a perfect alternative to the red + pink we typically see for Valentines Day.

What is your take on these jewel tones? Whatever you have planned for Friday- whether a romantic dinner out or a movie night with girlfriends, I hope you enjoy it!

[For You: 14 Karat Gold Heart Necklace $170/Marc by Marc Jacobs Black Leather Clutch $280/Band of Outsiders Silk Top $425/Tibi Eiffel Tower Stretch Skirt $245/

For the Home: Mauve Sofa $929/Winston Worlds Away Coffee Table $1,397.50/Surya Sapphire Blue & Ivory Flatweave Rug $493/Blush Pink Velvet Pillow with Sparkle Trim $175/Navy Velvet Pillow $60]

I'll take that coffee table! LOVE it. I love deep jewel tones, especially blues, purples, teals. Great series ladies. For V day we will probably go out for dinner...exchange cards and chocolates- pretty simple after 39 years! Have a great week. xo Nancy
