How To Faux Bois Your Life - From Your Closet To Furniture To Nails

Ever since Celine flaunted the faux bois print on their F/W 2011 runway, I've been more mindful of this trend. Literally mean fake wood in french, faux bois is the art of emulating wood grain in different media. And I love that there a lot of designers that put a modern twist to this nature inspired pattern. And guess what, the first one ever in the history was not wood grain fabric.

So today we're going to check out how we can bring this wood grain print to our lives with style!
