Anna Monette Roberts — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 04:07:07 PDT

This week several celebrity babies and kids were seen out and about wearing striped Fall threads. Celebaby girls Haven Warren and Seraphina Affleck were seen in playful pink stripes. Baby boy Flynn Bloom looked cozy in a thick, white-and-navy-striped sweater, and Pax Jolie-Pitt sported a gray striped hoodie. Stripes look good on just about every kid, so here are a few inspired styles to dress your own kids in this Fall.

Lots of moms like to think out loud, and PatiBF is one of them. Here is a recent post to her Baby Style blog.

I found this lovely knit dress and matching footless tights for Sandra at H&M. They have such fashionable and affordable things for kids. I loved the idea of putting her in head to toe stripes for a playful and cheery vibe. She looks cute right? Look at the very similar and cute Gymboree outfit I found online.

Hannah Weil — Thu, 13 Oct 2011 12:00:32 PDT

For Fall, we're drawn to the preppier, collegiate feel they lend on cozy sweaters and long sleeves, though we love it when they take on a more unexpected identity on a pair of silky trousers or an elegant clutch. Whether you share our obsession or you're new to the game, we guarantee you'll find something to strike your interest from this batch of covetable striped finds - including a hearty helping of stripey knits just begging to be worn through Autumn and Winter.

Strike Up a Linear Theme

Julia Walsh — Tue, 30 Aug 2011 04:00:43 PDT

While using repeated motifs or patterns, such as stars, ikat, or suzani, throughout a room can certainly be cute, sometimes a more subtle approach is easier on the eyes. I love this living area in the portfolio of photographer Per Magnus Persson, but it took me a few minutes to figure out why. Then I realized that there's a linear theme that pulls it all together. Playing off of the repeated pattern of the staircase in the room, a set of boldly striped chaises, a powder-coated steel chair with a linear frame, and a framed piece of artwork with text arranged in a column all continue the linear theme. Most of the pieces in the room are also modern in style, which helps to create a cohesive look as well.

Luckily, this linear look is really easy to re-create, and it will work with any budget! Of course, striped textiles are a foolproof beginning. You can also try décor with pleats, furniture with a linear openings, or a mirror with a textured frame. The next time you're shopping at a furnishing store, keep your eyes peeled for repeated shapes and see what theme you can come up with!

Roundup: Black and White and Rad All Over

Talk about a graphic art installation. Artist Aeneas Wilder, seen below, takes a closer look at his latest work, Untitled #155, which he spent 200 hours making from uniform lengths of wood with no fixative. If you're in England, head to Longside Gallery at Yorkshire Sculpture Park to see the piece in person.

Inspired by the black and white stripes of Wilder's work, I took a look at some ways you can add graphic stripes to your casa. Bold black and white stripes are a good way to add pattern and movement to a space. They pair well with everything from pastels to bold primary colors.

One of my perennial favorites in the stripes department is Ikea's bold and beautiful Rand Rug ($200, bottom row, center). The handwoven flatweave wool rug is reversible and features an alternating stripe pattern in its middle section that breaks up the look.

You can try adding a smaller touch of stripes to your tabletop with Diane von Furstenberg's Striped Napkin Ring Set ($43, top row, left). Made of resin, I'd love to see them paired with turquoise napkins on a white table overlooking the ocean. A perfect Summer dinner party look, don't you think?

Etsy Finds: Summer Stripes

Elka Karl — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 04:00:44 PDT

Summer is the perfect time to embrace stripes. From French sailor shirts to beach towels, stripes can be found everywhere. It's high time you added some alternating bands of color to your home in the form of chairs, blankets, and even coat hooks. Take a look for all of my current favorites.

Earning Your Summer Stripes

OnSugar Blog — Fri, 03 Jun 2011 09:31:11 PDT

OnSugar blogger Tiger Tem's Fashion Bites gives us a tutorial on shopping striped pieces for Summer.

Stripes are the epitome of pulled-together style. They're easy to dress up or down and, in that inimitable French way, they inject just the right amount of je ne sais quoi to your outfit. As much as I love my more neutral stripes (beige & black, black & white, navy & white), I've found my eye being drawn toward more colourful stripey options for Summer. Not too long ago, the Mr. gave me a cute top with wide gray and kelly green stripes. It's an unusual combo and not one I've seen before, but I absolutely love it.

See which chic striped pieces this OnSugar blogger is coveting when you check out Tiger Tem's Fashion Bites now.

Memorial Day Décor: No Stars, Just Stripes

Mandy Harris — Wed, 25 May 2011 10:15:00 PDT

Memorial Day is this weekend, but you don't have to be a die-hard patriot to honor the holiday in your home. If an over-the-top stars and stripes theme isn't your thing, consider paying homage to Old Glory in a more subtle way. By sticking to stripes and forgoing the stars, you can sport this décor all year - or at least all Summer - long. I for one am planning to hang the Anthropologie Vibrant Afternoon Hammock ($98) in my yard ASAP, and I just might toss a couple PB Found Vintage Grain Sack Pillow Covers ($89-$99) on my sofa this weekend. Shop the rest of the cheery stripes above!
