Another look at emerald in Interior Design in honor of The Wizard of Oz for my Storybook October. And, another look from Miles Redd.
I've featured Redd quite a bit through various topics. I do admire Redd, his is one of the rare Interior Design books that I do own. Is anyone exploding with color right now the way he is? My search for emerald interiors told me no.
True, the "slippers" you are about to see from Christian Louboutin are much more modern day interpretations of The Wizard of Oz's infamous ruby red slippers. But, nevertheless still inspired by this iconic shoe.
In honor of all things Storybook, and inspired by re-interpretation a la Lady Gaga, here are some contemporary concepts of a yellow brick road for your consideration.
Knit pants (or sweat pants for the style challenged) are my new favorite staple. I've been wearing mine a lot lately with a plain v-neck tee, black high tops and a strand of wooden beads doubled around my neck. It's not an easy look to pull off without looking like you've just rolled out of bed.
Miles Redd seems to find his way into every topic I cover. This time for his brilliant use of color, an emerald that seems fitting while inspired by The Wizard of Oz.
Sometimes I wonder if there are subconscious messages that influence me to choose certain topics for this blog. Before Lady Gaga performed "Applause" in the theatrical style of The Wizard of Oz on Good Morning America, I was already considering a Storybook theme.
Somewhere over the rainbow and in a land full of munchkins, flying monkeys and a gorgeous emerald city. The Wizard of Oz is Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's two-million dollar adaption of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum.
