Here's a post from OnSugar blog Smörgåsbord:

I am so loving the color combination in this little girl's room designed by Massucco Warner Miller and featured on Apartment Therapy.

And why wouldn't I love it? My two favorite colors are red and turquoise after all. I just never imagined they would go so well together.

Pantone Names Turquoise the Color of 2010!

CasaSugar — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 13:15:40 PST

Pantone has made its annual choice for color of the year, crowning turquoise the tint of 2010! "Combining the serene qualities of blue and the invigorating aspects of green, Turquoise evokes thoughts of soothing, tropical waters and a languorous, effective escape from the everyday troubles of the world, while at the same time restoring our sense of wellbeing," according to a company statement. The hue is also said to be universally flattering, making it translate easily into interiors.

Its undertones of both warm and cool colors give it the ability to pair with any color in the spectrum - and in your home! Try introducing a little turquoise into your home this coming year with one of these fabulous furnishings below. Or, be inspired by my slideshow on decorating with turquoise!

Get the Look: Turquoise and Gold Thanksgiving Table

CasaSugar — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 12:00:18 PST

I'm totally inspired by this Thanksgiving table setting from Martha Stewart. First of all, the gold pumpkins are utterly chic and a great way to update an overused seasonal décor item. Furthermore, the combination of this soft cerulean/turquoise color with the rich gold is simply beautiful and an elegant alternative to the warm browns and oranges you see on most Thanksgiving tables. Traditional Thanksgiving palettes never really appealed to me to begin with, so I'm weak in the knees over this. I tried to recreate this elegant setting and palette, and I think I've come up with something very glam, if I do say so myself. Just add gold pumpkins!

Look of the Day: Turquoise Treat

FabSugar — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 05:50:22 PDT

Today I glanced in the Look Book and look what I found: a turquoise treat! Not only does daiane's shirt dress have a piercing color, it also has a stylish silhouette. I especially love the tulip-shaped skirt. Way to break up the monotony via a skinny black belt and black tie-up sandals.

Come back and fill us in on the details.

Congrats to daiane!

Everyone else, submit your looks and I might feature you on FabSugar!

Trend Alert: Nuevo Navajo

FabSugar — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 04:50:22 PDT

It's cyclical. Especially for me. I think the fact that I re-obsess with it every few years means it's a part of my style DNA. With today's modern cuts and fresh details and yesteryears beads and colors, Navajo-esque style feels new again, aka nuevo Navajo. It doesn't take a road trip to New Mexico for me to whip out my beaded earrings and turquoise belt, but a big sky always inspires . . .
