OMBRE + BRAIDS

A few years ago the ombre trend came and went, quickly saturating the market and then, poof! We were over it! While I have to admit I haven't always been the biggest fan of the look myself, there are two places I still absolutely adore it...

apricot ombre trend coco+kelley1
*1. In layers of textured ruffles. *2.  In soft organic pillows. You just can't go wrong. Also noting and loving the side braid styling throughout the Lela Rose show... yes please!

    I own that grey pillow and absolutely adore it. Such a nice alternative to a solid or pattern, its a combo of both!

    i was never a huge fan either. i thought Alice + Olivia did a good job with their dresses. but i've never seen these layered ruffle yummy-ness. the colors in the first dress take ombre to a much more sophisticated level. and i just love pillows. great pieces to showcase ombre! have a good monday!

    Charming!

    LOVE these! Check out these Ombre motorcycle boots from Frye - so insane. My husband is getting a Harley, so he said I can get any boots I want - these are at the top of my list!

    I love ombre and Lela Rose did such a wonderful job with it for the Spring collection, to see those dresses in person is a beautiful work of art! The pillows are lovely too.
