Hillside Style Fall 2016

but complement each other at the same time. Keep one of the area rugs more simple and neutral, and the other colourful with a unique pattern. Try using a classic jute rug as the base, and layer a soft hide or full flokati rug on top. IDEA 2: Add an additional duvet to your bed. I love the look of doubling up your duvet covers, not to mention the added softness and comfort it provides. Sometimes those fall nights can be unexpectedly chilly so it’s nice having the option of another layer at the end of my bed. I like to keep my main duvet neutral in colour and add some different textures and patterns with an additional quilt or coverlet. During the fall and winter, experiment with colours at the warmer end of the spectrum to achieve a cozy feeling. IDEA 3: Swap out pillow shams and covers. During the summer, we often lighten up our linens and stick to cotton sheets, pillowcases and duvets. This is great for those warmer months, but once the evenings start to cool down, it’s smart to add some warmth to your décor, and textured fabrics are a creative way to do this. Try including fabrics such as velvet, wool, and faux furs into your pillow cover ensemble. Although they are a bit more daring and unique, it will add an inviting feeling to your space.

Style: How about beauty products – what would we find on your counter or in your purse this fall? Under-eye cream is a staple in my bathroom and I travel with concealer in my makeup bag. Bronzing powder is also a staple for me, especially as we head into these cooler months, to give my skin a light glow. I enjoy makeup and playing with different colours and trends each season. I tend to be a little more daring when it comes to my eyeshadow and liner. There is nothing I won’t try when it comes to makeup and beauty trends! Style: Some people shop for an entire outfit and some shop for a specific piece. How do you plan your shopping trips? I adore shopping. Since I was a little girl, shopping has been a huge part of my life and likewise, styling outfits. I tend to purchase a blouse one day, a skirt the next week, and accessories on a regular basis. For me, it is all about my mood in the morning and how I want to put an outfit together. I rarely purchase an entire look at one time. I find it exciting to put clothes together and see how I can make a simple white t-shirt work with a fabulous jumper and heels. I have a strong appreciation for how clothing is made and the artistry that is behind it. Style: Terrific, Sarah. Now we want to move from fashion to home décor. You’re also an amazing interior designer, so we’re hoping you can share three simple ideas that will add that warm and cozy feel we all crave during the fall and winter. IDEA 1: Layer your area rugs. This is a great trend to mimic in your bedroom or living area for the cool fall and winter months. The key here is to contrast textures and styles by choosing two rugs that are different,
