Blue & White

Designer Carolyne Roehm's love affair with blue and white has provided inspiration for much of her style. In a book published back in 2008 the designer shared that her love began with her first New York apartment,  she draped the walls in 'inexpensive' blue and white fabric from her then boss, Oscar de la Renta {hmmm, just how inexpensive could that possibly have been?}.
