The ogle fest at Soho House left Jessica and I feeling oh-so-inspired.  Exhibit A: Colonista Jess toning with the Soho House colour scheme…

Even her hair and eyes match!  That is one clever designer!

I mentioned in that blog post that the pervading colour scheme was a turquoisey-sea green and coral-mauvy-red.  Who would have thought that the usually garish red and green colour combination could be transformed into something sooooo lovely?  Just change the tone of the colours and viola!  Or don’t – the primary versions of these colours can be quite chic together with the right touch.

Now – how you can be a little like Jess:

Buy a print, the subject of which looks alarmingly like Jess….

…buy one of these plates in Positano, Italy….

…. paint your walls coral red and buy some turqouise foo dogs ….

….use one colour to lead to another….

…or use accents of red and green in primary with neutrals….

Now, have we all learned something today?
