With only an hour to browse before catching a cab to the airport I didn’t have much time for snapping pictures and matching colors but I did see a couple of rooms at Redford House that I wanted to share.
Both rooms had neutral furnishings, floors and accessories with a bold color on the walls. The bedroom was a blend of warm brown, tans and gray. Everything was a sophisticated blend of neutrals which were beautifully at home surrounded by a mid-tone blue.

French beauty company Guerlain and Italian fashion house Emilio Pucci have collaborated to create an unprecedented dual-branded makeup collection - Guerlain by Emilio Pucci.
With Paris-based Guerlain, a leader in the premium beauty world, and Florence-based Emilio Pucci, an icon of luxury fashion, both brands share a passion for beauty, femininity, sophistication, and, above all, glamor.
The two-year project is a fusion of both spirit and talent. The two brands reached a perfect equilibrium, where they brought out the best in each other.
The collaboration was first realized with the creation of an exclusive Pucci scarf for the project. Its unique print and vibrant colors adorn Guerlain products in a completely unconventional way, sprinkled with the Pucci touch.
Olivier Echaudemaison, Guerlain’s creative director, worked directly with Emilio Pucci’s image director Laudomia Pucci. Together, they beautifully translated the mood and evocative imagery of the scarf into a remarkable eight piece makeup collection.
“One of the favorite parts of my job is creating something that is immediately recognizable,” Echaudemaison said. “I was inspired by the Pucci scarf with its unique color palette. This, of course, excited me.”
Makeup is not neutral for Echaudemaison. “Neutral is boring, it has no life. Color is life. For me, to translate this into color is exciting and makes me giddy and happy,” he said, adding he wanted to see the nude trend replaced by very colorful ambiance.
It is clear this collection is not runway makeup. “You know, on stage, things are very theatrical and extreme. But life is not a fashion show. I am careful to separate those two worlds. The most important thing is making women more beautiful,” Echaudemaison said.
Thus, he created a fresher makeup with light colors that also enhances it as a summer accessory. The look was inspired by the Pucci scarf and Mediterranean colors turquoise, coral, and pink.
“I wanted a fresh and colored makeup but a very light one with pastel colors.”
