Let's Chat: Confetti & Stripes

April 2, 2014 Julia Ryan

Hey friends! I'm excited to have my girl Mallory here today. She has such a fun style and modern aesthetic. And the girl is super nice in real life which. We met for coffee last summer in Nashville and had no problem jumping right into a morning of chit chat!

Hi Everyone! I’m Mallory from the blog Confetti & Stripes. I’m a SC native now living in Nashville, TN! Almost 2 years ago I quit my job to start Mallory Shaw Design, LLC and follow my passion for interiors! Starting my blog was an extension of that to share all of the fun beautiful things I come across with some fashion, food, et cetera thrown in too!

1. SELF OR SPACE are you more drawn to fashion or interior design?

Definitely space, although self is a VERY close second! I like creating spaces because that is my strength, however I study and read about both constantly as they inspire each other!

2. FAVORITE ROOM IN YOUR HOUSE

Our living room..although it is one of the rooms I have yet to show a full before and after of. It was the slowest to come together, yet I love everything in it! Proof of what I constantly preach: to buy what you love and it will work out!

3. FAVORITE OUTFIT

Lately it has been my camo jeans! I think it is because they are a little out of my comfort zone, yet I receive more complements on them than anything else! Maybe I need to start taking more fashion "risks"?!

4. FAVORITE DESIGNER

Kelly Wearstler. She is the queen of the unexpected. Her spaces all seem so fashion forward yet timeless, fancy yet livable.

5. BIGGEST OBSESSION

Vintage finds. Just like anyone, I love a good deal. Vintage finds are a great way to have high quality without necessarily high price tags! I like that they add an element to rooms (or outfits) that not anyone can go out and buy!
