Snuggle Up

<div style="text-align: center;">After a week full of somewhat personal posts, I'm back to the regular routine and this means back to interior design goodness for you all!<br /> Over the years, I've trained myself to snuggle up under a blanket while watching TV.  In fact, if I'm watching a show without one, I feel pretty naked. That's why in the middle of summer, on a hot <b>hot</b> day, you'll still find me snuggled up under a throw.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOslrBeYkmw6zVS9PyVnxeeAV1F1OlQ_0vsPXUNC5izX-Pxectah6UB_q38BtQjmS_IYujUpPQeq9YZAzfGge8XPjTxqNM5U9PeW2yNufvvDLgZdNEhGe1XU-aejkNBbruM0ujWemMaBU/s1600/hermes+throw.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOslrBeYkmw6zVS9PyVnxeeAV1F1OlQ_0vsPXUNC5izX-Pxectah6UB_q38BtQjmS_IYujUpPQeq9YZAzfGge8XPjTxqNM5U9PeW2yNufvvDLgZdNEhGe1XU-aejkNBbruM0ujWemMaBU/s640/hermes+throw.jpg" width="492" /></a> <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>My top choice would be a Hermes throw. They are so elegant, and yet I think the trademark 'H' adds some quirk.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvXmmDMNhNa8_DPLQbmHYOY68V5ofh3DEvpxI008SZztQdSRin-DRJpi8o43N0vqeNA4RTD8_Ex0_V8P5QCzsIYZeKjmr9kXwV6XRZFgnLKr2O4TT14rUh78Ch2yHWUhjYgEI6qtH8Mbo/s1600/Hermes+throw+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="267" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvXmmDMNhNa8_DPLQbmHYOY68V5ofh3DEvpxI008SZztQdSRin-DRJpi8o43N0vqeNA4RTD8_Ex0_V8P5QCzsIYZeKjmr9kXwV6XRZFgnLKr2O4TT14rUh78Ch2yHWUhjYgEI6qtH8Mbo/s320/Hermes+throw+1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Unfortunately, at nearly $1000 a pop, I will probably never own one of these.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz8FbwTCZGTTCKyMa6L0BgA6iR1e5E31TK5pqW7ygRe3SmjMktzlJTt7b0joYbsW5UV08rP58Z4HdVU2_9baLvJ4-GZ7JVNym2fbZfZlGBiENZBfarAmafZZV6UvWZ6HyKFKg0yVvti3o/s1600/lem+lem_coco+kelley2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="540" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz8FbwTCZGTTCKyMa6L0BgA6iR1e5E31TK5pqW7ygRe3SmjMktzlJTt7b0joYbsW5UV08rP58Z4HdVU2_9baLvJ4-GZ7JVNym2fbZfZlGBiENZBfarAmafZZV6UvWZ6HyKFKg0yVvti3o/s640/lem+lem_coco+kelley2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>As a second (more realistic) option, I'm also loving this throw spotted in <a href="http://cocokelley.blogspot.ca/2012/05/summer-styling-lem-lem-textiles.html">Cassandra Lavalle's bedroom</a>.<br />This throw is by <a href="http://www.lemlem.com/collections/home">Lemlem textiles</a>. These are closer to $300. A great lightweight option!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia4NpWnZFs1kLFHaoS1a5CZGIrNP4gNp0fe3qTSw7dywrK8sVtBqaYR6Vmkqw6CxU_n5S1Y75d6I_lRY5sOgm2xK_r55THYgmyw6IhvW5VyZyyrZbeOKSXFrcssDWcciVSdM1Xd6p1rdQ/s1600/lem+lem_coco+kelley1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia4NpWnZFs1kLFHaoS1a5CZGIrNP4gNp0fe3qTSw7dywrK8sVtBqaYR6Vmkqw6CxU_n5S1Y75d6I_lRY5sOgm2xK_r55THYgmyw6IhvW5VyZyyrZbeOKSXFrcssDWcciVSdM1Xd6p1rdQ/s320/lem+lem_coco+kelley1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Lastly, the throws by <a href="http://shop.cococozy.com/">Coco Cozy</a> are so lovely. It uses the company logo, which reminds me of an elaborate  greek key.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgStTjDJmFAk9Z4P_YE_Dgmmfc3kOq0Tk1vPpWmNVi5bppqPrwlwFhbjz874S5npkyiLRviiCm1pqr0Pzg2Q661IkkwV5O4s4KkIXv8tVYXKmKK4YEBFPFFUx6OckuyaHp67hQw_PCHIow/s1600/coco+cozy+throw+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgStTjDJmFAk9Z4P_YE_Dgmmfc3kOq0Tk1vPpWmNVi5bppqPrwlwFhbjz874S5npkyiLRviiCm1pqr0Pzg2Q661IkkwV5O4s4KkIXv8tVYXKmKK4YEBFPFFUx6OckuyaHp67hQw_PCHIow/s640/coco+cozy+throw+1.jpg" width="430" /></a></div>These are also around $300. The price is still a bit steep for me, but it could be worth the investment as it's both a functional and beautiful piece. Afterall, what's the use of having a gorgeous couch if you cover it up with a less than lovely blanket?<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiedgNXsfGXO4LvpnOU3jQ4wGqIK_Af-O4S6j2_snBLgOnOUvI1RnzdSwnE4LZKPgny-GI0N20hR-KNRMcWT_idZucAYzs1jz7iS8FMMW1GOAojOoV9DGeUn2ZHrVtKAeXHrtpvlGyxNZM/s1600/throw+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiedgNXsfGXO4LvpnOU3jQ4wGqIK_Af-O4S6j2_snBLgOnOUvI1RnzdSwnE4LZKPgny-GI0N20hR-KNRMcWT_idZucAYzs1jz7iS8FMMW1GOAojOoV9DGeUn2ZHrVtKAeXHrtpvlGyxNZM/s320/throw+1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Which of these is your favourite?<br /><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i1254.photobucket.com/albums/hh609/tiffanyleighinteriordesign/Tiffany-27.jpg" /></div>

Everyone Looks Good in a Grad Gown
