~Cherish the Babe Cave!!~
5:47 PMCapitol de Beaute Blog by Melanie Woodroffe
Winter is for hibernating! It is built into our DNA to take a chill when the chill hits! Need a little chic and cozy escape from the outside world? Well, grab your BFF and seek retreat in the woman cave! Yes, I said, 'woman cave!' If men can have a cave, then so can us girls! Hmmm....lets call mine, the 'Babe Cave' instead!
Yay! The babe cave it is!
My babe cave features the elegantly designed vintage chrome bar stools from Chairish, covered in a delicious, velvety lipstick red, these vintage Pierre Cardin stools are the perfect accent for any room.
I love navy blue and white, and find they are both the perfect neutral shades to balance out bursts of bright colors. To avoid looking like it's the 4th of July in February, I added textures, tones, and prints for balance. What girly doesn't love leopard cushions, Mark Chappell snake prints & colorful Voutsa wallpapered smooches in her babe cave?!
Candles, books and historical items pepper my living space, and I enjoy collecting things with roots. I am the daughter of a former antique and art dealer! My Mother's store was a treasure trove of wonderful. She has a very unique eye for the intriguing! I think it's innate! I also feel it's important to fill your living space with memories and modern, finishing touches define who you are, and I am a sentimentalist with her eye on the future!

How to be chic in the chill?!
Follow these 3 key steps:
1. Layer, don't bundle. Layers can be removed once inside or when the temps creep up. Think airy fabrics that hold heat.
2. Choose a double-ply cashmere, merino wool or fur when trying to keep toasty. Keep in mind rule number one; layer the lights underneath and the heavy over the lights.
3. Don't lazy layer. Wear your chic pieces when out in the public eye. Nothing feels worse than meeting friends for Saturday hot toddy's and seeing the stylish girls peel the warm layers off, only to reveal more style.
Unless you are wearing the super cool Thakoon sweats shown here, don't dress sloppy just because you didn't feel like going out in the first place! Put on nice jeans, a sweater, boots and a faux fur wrap and your coat. Add jewelry, moisturizer with an SPF, blush, a colored lip gloss and mascara and go have a great time!

Make more room for the stuff you really love!
I'm all over the place sometimes looking for inspirations, but the place that I love the most is my desk!
It's really messy at times. My laptop gets moved to the other desk, beside the desktop! I have thought about expanding it for more room, but it's beautifully cozy and everything I love is within reach! I love the light and I can creatively focus and daydream at the same time.
Do you love your space? What makes you happy? What helps you get creatively inspired?! DO tell!! ✔✔️ I would love to know!! ❤️
Enjoy! xo, melanie

~Sketchy Fashion!!~Naturally Drawn to It. Wearable Illustrations
11:21 AMCapitol de Beaute Blog by Melanie Woodroffe
Currently, I am drawn {pun intended!} to the quickly growing trend of illustrated style. Closely correlated to the look of graphic sketches, but turned into clothes, accessories & jewelry! Elvira 't Hart's work is an inspiration to thinking way outside of the box of possibility!
I have always had a fascination with fabric & am always on the lookout for unique colors, textures & graphics! I have a collection of vintage cloth, recycled leathers and 1920s to 40s prints that I absolutely love, and as a child, my Mother taught me how to sew. I love fabric manipulation for the very reason I love to sew, turning something so simple into a work of art.
If you really think about it, sewing is the most primitive & technologically advanced form of art. It is both design & necessity. With the insertion of options, like 3D printing, fabric manipulation, fiber optics & LED, the use of textiles become part of the evolution of design. This futuristic look is no trend either! Dating back in history, fabrics cut, sewn, manipulated and/or deconstructued, all had an eye on the future of illustration!
