Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably seen the Ombre trend rising in popularity. It started in fashion, moved on to home decor, product design, and has now moved on through to just about anywhere a trend can go (see below). Then why can’t I stop loving it?
Ombre somehow manages to be both subtle and bold…colors fading into one another with varying degrees of intensity or striping. I’ve hesitated to commit to anything too permanent in my home, thinking the phase would pass…but I think I have a random table or two calling my name for a paint job. Until I get to that…I’ve rounded up a few ways to wear/use ombre day to day.
It’s all over fashion…check out these great sweaters. The scarf would be a great DIY, if you’re so inclined. SNL and Bridesmaids star Kristen Wiig even rocked the trend at the Emmy’s this year, landing herself on tons of Best Dressed lists.

Ombre has made it’s way into the wedding/party circuit as well…check out this fabulous centerpiece arrangement! And how beautiful/delicious do these cakes look? I think the layered one would be so fun to cut into!
