Fab Friday: The Graduate

It's that time of year again....graduation. Whether you know someone graduating high school or college, it's the same question. What do you get them? Don't worry, we have you covered (shameless plug). But seriously, we do. Little knick knacks like the horn tray can make a dorm room feel more chic and cozy. The uncorked glasses are perfect for the college grad (we all know the only glassware you leave college with are stadium cups). Finally, we love this Pehr Tote, it's perfect for dry cleaning, weekend travel, or grocery shopping.

Target Finds

It has been a while since we brought you our favorite Target finds. Part of the reason could be we have not been in town enough to actually go to Target.  When we finally made it there, once again, we were not disappointed. Threshold and Nate Berkus have really been killing it. How great is this bench for the end of your bed or entry way? And this lamp would look great in any room!

Marion and Leslie's November Wish List

New month, means new wish list! Check out our wish list picks this month. Do you see anything that is on your list?

Marion's Wish List

1 and 2. I tried this silk top on at Calypso and fell in love with it. I love how it can be paired with jeans for a casual look or paired with these pants for a fashionable night out!

3. Ooh la la! These earrings would make a very nice Christmas present (wink, wink).

4. Every illustration that Inslee composes is lovely, so why not admire her illustrations daily with this calendar.

5. Ok, so this is a bit of a splurge, but Marvis toothpaste is Ah-maz-ing! I love how it leaves your mouth so fresh and so clean, clean! 

6. My hands are already starting to dry out. That is why I am wishing for some Kiehl's hand Cream to prevent my hands from drying out anymore this winter. 

Leslie's Wish List

1.  The subtle pine fragrance of this candle is the perfect item to get me in the holiday spirit!

2.  I think that I'll be able to live in this sweater all fall.

3.  I normally wouldn't try to pull this look off but, what a hat!

4.  I'm dying for this Alexander Wang bucket bag.

5.  I know my last wish list had another pair of Rag and Bone booties, but now I have my eye on these booties.

6.  I am all about a staple pair of jeans.

 

Take A Peak: Leslie's Bar

Today we are kicking off a new blog series called "Take A Peak". The series will feature a special part of someone's house. For the first post in this series, we decided to showcase Leslie's bar area (it is always set and camera ready). Instead of a bar cart, Leslie chose a custom built Landrum Table by Capers Landrum. She then layered it with bar accessories, both old and new! To top it off she added colorful details like lemons and fresh flowers to balance the art that hangs above. 

If you would like us to feature you in the "Take A Peak" series, send us an email with a snapshot! Have a wonderful day!

Favorite Target Finds

Well ya'll, Target has done it yet again. After seeing some great commercials yesterday I checked out the website to see what they had to offer, and they did not disappoint. Nate Berkus and Threshold have rolled out some awesome home decor and easy updates for this fall.  How great is this bar cart?  There is so much more I could have included, but I did not want to overwhelm you all.  Find all our favorites here.

Obsession of the Week: Teil Duncan

This week our obsession isn't something its someone. Last Friday I chose one of her nude paintings for my wish list, but I wanted to share a little more information on Teil Duncan with you all. Lucky for us, she currently lives in Charleston, SC and has a studio at Redux. While her work ranges from still lives to animals, we are currently coveting her nude and beach scenes.  Here are a few of our favorite, but be sure to go to her website to check out more!

Inspiration: Wooden Shoe Forms

Sometimes a vintage find can lead to some rearranging and organizing in order to make room for a one-of-a-kind piece. Case in point, I recently discovered some amazing wooden shoe forms. Each pair was unique; some pointy, some square...they all had character. I bought some for the shop and some for me (of course). Now, I am just trying to figure out where to put them...let the rearranging begin! Here is my inspiration.

Fab Friday: For Me....For the Home

I'm dreaming of cooler weather! I mean, really....what happened? We have had a pretty mild summer, so I was thinking we would have a nice, early transition into fall and then WHAM! Heat waves swept across the nation! Yuck! I mean, J. Crew is selling puffy vests....and I am sweating through my silk dress. It isn't fair! So, to help me get over my pathetic whining...We thought we would create a little fall wish list. We each picked a few items for the home and for ourselves. It may be awhile before I am throwing on that Rebecca Taylor sweater, but a girl can dream!

Leslie Wishlist:

Sweater: I'm loving this color combo. All neutral, but what do ya'll think about this sweater? To crop or not?

Necklace: I've always loved Loren Hope. This necklace explains why. Simple yet bold, classic yet edgy. Cannot wait to get it on my neck!

Skirt: I've been swooning over this skirt. Flouncy and feminine, you better get it while you can it's already on back order!

Booties: So yes these booties are splurge, but a splurge totally worth it this season. I mean really, how many times will I wear these!

Painting: Teil Duncan is a local artist here in Charleston. Her nude paintings speak for themselves (obviously). If nudes aren't your thing, check out her website for her latest beach scene series. 

Elephant: I don't know how you could be more prepared for fall. Some people may call me crazy, but I think this cast iron elephant is the perfect fall addition to your home.
Tray: This tray is such an easy update to your home. Add to the coffee table and voila you have a new look!

Marion's Wishlist:

Sweater: Muted colors with a dash of black...genius! I think this sweater would get a lot of wear this fall. 

Earrings: These earrings can be dressed us or down...they are fun and the perfect size. 

Clutch: They say it's all in the details! Well, woven metallic leather...how is that for details?

Nike Dunks: OK...I actually already ordered these...I tried them on at Nike and they are so comfortable! 

Canvas Storage Bin: This bin would look great in a pantry, play room, or laundry room. 

Lamp: I love the sea foam green and black combination. 

Storage Boxes: These are inexpensive bins from Ikea. You can never have too many. 

Easy Fall Updates

I don't know about y'all, but I'm ready for the fall. I've been dreaming of sweaters and booties for weeks now. While the temperature is still the same here, the humidity is starting to go down (a little). This, of course, makes me super excited! Assuming y'all are ready for the cooler weather too, we wanted to share some of our favorite fall updates for the home.

Obsession of the Week: Cheese Server Sets

Remember our post on Summer Entertaining? Well we wanted to expand on that a little by bringing you our favorite cheese server sets. They can dress up a plain white tray or cutting board. Make your cocktail hour complete by adding color and texture to your appetizer spread. Pair a set with your favorite cheese for a great hostess gift!

Favorite Target Finds

It's that time again..... We wanted to share with you all our favorite Target finds.  WHOO HOO! Exciting stuff, we know.  But in all seriousness, how great are these finds? I'm in love with the hot pink velvet pillow, and this console would be the perfect addition to any entry. What do you think?

Obsession of the Week: Sugar and Creamer

1, 2, 3, 4

This week we are loving sugar and creamer sets.  I didn't think they were a household necessity until I was at Marion's house the other day having coffee.  She pulled out the cutest set and it just made our coffee meeting better! So, since last week, I have been on the hunt.  I can't decide between the clean lines look of the Donna Karen Lenox Porcelain creamer and sugar, or the fun Juliska pewter set. What do you think?

Tablescape: The Black, Gold, & White Table

There is nothing chicer than a black, gold, & white table. It just screams elegant (to us at least). I know that you may be thinking you have no reason to to entertain like this, but we beg to differ.  Just make some simple updates to your white pottery and there you go, you have the perfect table for a wonderful night with friends! 

 Here was our inspiration:

Obsession of the Week: Montes Doggett

To say that we are obsessed with Montes Doggett pottery almost feels like an understatement. Her white, crisp, yet unique designs bring clean lines to entertaining. All of her items are so versatile.  Did we mention that her entire line is dishwasher, microwave, and oven safe? That alone could have sold us! Aren't you in love? We hope so, because we are excited to announce that we will be carrying Montes Doggett on our e-commerce site coming soon!
