The Modern Sophisticate: Perfect Pair: Blue Ikat + Gold

I'll admit it. I didn't like ikat when it first hit the design scene. Maybe it's because I'm a Utah native and haven't been able to truly appreciate anything related to South Western design (sorry if you're taste is South Western. It can be done quite well). Maybe it's because I haven't been lucky enough to travel to Indonesia where this beautiful fabric originates (though many other cultures have similar ways of weaving). But the darn pattern grew on me and now, I adore it! I like to glam it up (ok I like EVERYTHING glammed up) and pairing it with a gorgeous metallic, like gold, makes the perfect pair!
