I’ve featured lovely hairbands and clips from Andrea’s Beau several times over the past year that Wishing True has been in operation (I think I have an anniversary coming up…must check on that…)
And I just received notice that they have a new blog: Beau Monde
AND in honor of their new project, they’re offering a 20% discount through April 21 (two more days until it ends). Need a little flower for your hair this Spring?
I found Lost Bird Found on Design Mom recently – and I just LOVE this print:
Is that inspired by pomegranates? It’s definitely influenced by the designer’s
love of food. Interesting woman – and it shows in her work. You can also check out her blog HERE.
I found this Etsy shop on Beachbungalow8 the other day:
I’ve never considered myself to be a neck ruff gal…but this one on ArtLab is so lovely:
So are these:
And how about this jacket:
And this shirt:
Gorgeous.
I’ve officially changed my mind. At least when it comes to these vinyl wallpaper boxes at Draw Flowers:
They also make great lunch bags (expect a standing ovation in the break room)…
…lamp shades (there are many styles – but I’m seeing these in very girly bedrooms)…
…and many styles for the slim clutch bag (I even included the picture of what it fits – because honestly, it looks like an envelope!):
And pretty reasonably priced I may add…
See more on the website (LOVE this image):
I just found this online shop last week (via decor8) and I thought I’d share some pretties.
First – I love these velvet bags and pouches:
Adorable.
Some other favorites include…
This soap (which I once bought for my Mom):
This box of ribbons:
These lanters…
…and THESE (they float into the sky – amazing):
For more visit Cox & Cox.
Speaking of beautiful wallpaper…
I am in love with the powder room redo sighted on Odi et Amo last week.
It features several of my favorites: chinoiserie, blue and white AND Annechovie:
Great inspiration for wallpaper in small spaces.
Found on notcot.com via Design Mom: 50 Signature handbags.
I love this layout – but you can go HERE for a close up look at each illustration. Predictably, I love the Birkin Bag, the Tod’s D-Bag and the Yves Saint Laurent Mombasa Bag. Do you have a favorite?
Run don’t walk to this fabulous blog!
On Mrs. Lilien, each post is a “Mrs.” with source annotations (you’ll have to visit Mrs. Lilien for those details). For example:
Mrs. Meyer
Mrs. Mingle
Mrs. Why Not?
Mrs. Brunch
Mrs. Weekender
Mrs. Uptown
Or at least most of the posts are devoted to a “Mrs.” Some have a slightly different theme. Like this Mrs. Lilien paper doll:
I may stay up all night going through the archives…
Apparently her genius stems from a graphic design background. So it’s not ALL creative talent and extraordinary taste. This makes me feel minimally better about myself.
This was a BIG weekend for suburban moms. Liberty of London debuted their new Target line, and let me tell you – it was just like Filene’s bridal sale in Boston. Women were pulling merchandise off the racks without even looking at it – or more accurately, they were pulling it out of boxes before it was even placed on the shelves.
Okay, I’m exaggerating about Filene’s – but I was shocked by some of the shopping carts I saw. I even asked one woman if she planned to sell her haul on Ebay. But I can’t really blame the power shoppers because after all of those commercials and cruel store signs, taunting that we’d have to wait until March 14, the post-marketing frenzy was inevitable.
Since I woke up early on D-Day, I excitedly pulled up Target’s website and checked out the Liberty merchandise. Here are some things that caught my eye:
And of course, I can’t forget my daughter!
I also spent plenty of time looking at the home goods – so for more on that (as well an intro to a battle of style wills with my three year old daughter Eleanor) visit me at Style Key West!
Check back tomorrow for a look at what I bought…
Remember this glassware giveaway from CSN Stores December?
Well I just discovered the source of the design. A division of SCAD (Savannah College of Art and Design), Working Class Studio “marries function with fine art” through original stationery and home decor lines.
This particular design comes from The Kay Collection.
And I fell in love with it for its subtle nod to Klimt (intended or not).
Other collections that caught my eye include, Un Petit Tour de Lacoste, stoneware plates and platters:
Re-Gift, fabric covered boxes and gift bags:
and Savannah Toile, a modern spin on a traditional textile:
I find this collaboration between students, teachers and alumni truly inspirational. What an amazing community. More art schools should institute programs like this one.
