Asian Influence

I was just leafing through the new Tea catalog and their notes on what inspired their collection offers new dimension to this brand and a glimpse into the culture that influences them. It got me thinking about Asian inspiration and how I like to include it in my home design, the foods my family eats and clothes I...and my children wear. Here are some of my favorites from Tea along with some other great pieces for fall.

Look at all of these fun stripes for spring! I have always been told to avoid stripes as they are unflattering, but that is what is fun about dressing children---those "rules" don't apply! Here is a stripe for every occasion!
