Photo Love {Inspiration}: Simplicity and Sophistication via Elle Sweden September 2013

“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”

Leonardo da Vinci

Elle Sweden September 2013

I’m not necessarily someone that tends to favor simple lines and minimalism.

I love gilded accents, playful ruffles, and bright colors.  My love for Hollywood regency style and playful details runs deep.  But I have slowly incorporated a bit more minimalism in my life (this is certainly the influence of my husband as well as living in a place where I can’t fit as much).  I have focused on decor that is simple, functional, and pretty too.  My favorite piece of more recent decor has been an antique looking golden tray table (similar to this one) that sits in the corner and can hold fun pieces of decor as well as all the various remote controls in our living room.  I love that it can serve many functions and look good in many settings.

Similarly, while I love frills, I have simplified my wardrobe in the last few years.  I don’t have ultra modern clothing, but I appreciate the clean lines and versatility of a crisp white shirt or a long, striking maxi skirt.  This Elle Sweden editorial struck me as simple, but also completely elegant and sophisticated.  It is a good reminder that sometimes it is great to just keep it simple and sophisticated in other aspects of our lives as well.

Have a great week lovelies!
