Looking to cultures other than your own can provide inspiration for a lifetime let alone for a month of only 28 days.
Global touches like a bit of ikat, a rustic wood stool, some chinoiserie or a Moroccan pattern can warm up a modern room and cut the sweetness of traditional. It can do the same for your outfits. Feeling boring? Add a bangle (or a dozen). throw on a wild print. Besides, who doesn't want to escape (at least mentally) right now to somewhere exotic and most likely warm?
You may not see it in Google Reader, but at the bottom of this post is a button that allows you to link to an image on your blog. This monthly blog party is a change to share inspirations and projects, so link up all month long.

I am so feeling this! I need some more Global Style in my house!
I am totally feeling the global trend - Anthro has a some beautiful pieces to add to both my wardrobe and home!
I like it! And yup, just got the Anthro catalog on Friday, and I realized I was going to need to buy some beaded necklaces. Oh, and a springbok loveseat. Definitely a springbok loveseat!
I'm finding myself drawn to bright colors. It's weird because my house is very neutral. Must be all the snow and lack of sunshine.
Thank you for this opportunity to share my DIY rose gold jewelry. All the other projects look very interesting. I'll have to check them out (especially the book clutch since I've been wanting to make one).
I love this collection! I just added my geometric artwork made from Dwell Studio fabric that reminds me a bit of Moroccan tiles with the overlapping circles.
Love the three arches on the side of the stairs in one of the pics. Do you know which country the apartment is in?
I think that's Ellen Pompeo's house in California.
