Serena & Lily {reinvented}

love this.

Have you had a chance to check out the new-new Serena & Lily catalog? They've rebranded and I like it.

Geometric Nailhead Patterned Upholstered Headboard - be still my heart!

Great Pattern and Color - for the floor - yes!

Dip-Dyed Draperies - yes please (I may or may not already be working on a similar project for a room in my home ... )

(these don't appear to be available for purchase - please advise if you know the contrary to be true)

oh wait! they already put all of my favorite things in one room?! i swear i didn't see that before i picked those faves. maybe i should do styling for them... Serena, Lily - are y'all listening?!

Among the changes is their logo, which they recruited Andy Spade to create - clever girls. This rebrand is an attempt to move outside of nurserys, they explained in the latest issue of Lonny Mag - check it out for the full story.

{blushing} bridal boutique

J.Crew has been commading the bridal scene for a few years now, only getting better each season.





To nail down (with nails of unfinished brass, of course) their place in the wedding world, they've opened a bridal boutique in New York. It even has its own collection, aptly named 769 after the shop address.


With its herringbone floors, velvet draperies and marble base boards, it dazzles but as WWD reports, "for its first bridal boutique, J. Crew takes inspiration from a French salon without getting too grand about it." I like that - "not getting too grand about it." They tone things down with the likes of a misshapen chandelier and a muted palette, not to mention their signature devil-may-care styling applied to each ensemble and mannequin.



Even though I've long since planned my own wedding, I will certainly have to stop by the next time I'm in the city. It's just too lovely to miss.

atl ♥ bound

happy wednesday, friends.

this morning, kristen and i are working (we have a lot of custom orders we're wrapping up so if you're expecting one get excited (and check out these sneak peeks ;) ) but in a few hours, i am loading up with almost my entire immdediate family to travel to atlanta to see tom petty. for real (the all riding together part (five people in one car) and seeing tom petty. on a wednesday. all true)

we are going for my dad's birthday (happy slightly belated J-Man). my mom's even going (they aren't married). how awesome are we?

while i'm there i think i'll swing by scott's (and try my hardest to not buy anything). i haven't been in a while ;) and i do need a few things ...







have a good rest of the week - i'm cutting out early!
