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.

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

Inspiration: Girls Rooms

Even though neither of us have children at the moment, we are always inspired by kid's rooms. The fun colors and patterns make us want to take a risk in our own bedrooms! We love how the rooms below can be transitioned into the teen years. Take a look.

Obsession: Kemble Interiors

Have you all ever checked out Kemble Interiors work? Well if you haven't you need to ASAP.  We stumbled across their work via instagram, and have been in love ever since. Founded in Palm Beach with an office in New York, this mother-daughter duo knows what they are doing! It was hard to choose a few favorite pictures to share so be sure to check them out online and on instagram!

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.

 

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!

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.

Throw, Frame , Rug, Pillow, Lassi Cup, Burlap Bucket

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!

1, 2, 3, 4

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!

Obsession of the Week: The Napkin Ring

So you all know how much we love to set the table and entertain.  We have done countless post on the subject (sorry we cant help it). Looking back we have seem to forgotten one of the best, most fun elements of setting the table. The napkin ring! Don't get too excited now, but seriously it is like the bow on a present, it ties the whole table together. This Kim Seybert is perfect for a girls dinner or Sunday brunch, and we love the Juliska tortoise knot for a casual porch supper. Check out our other favorites here!

Obsession of the Week: Pool Party Accessories

Ok so we know this is out of the norm for us, but we thought it would be nice to tell you all how we plan to accessorize outside the home this holiday. As we mentioned on Friday we are heading to a pool party this 4th of July.  This beach tote from Target is going to hold everything we need from sunscreen to our turkish towel (which we are obsessed with). By pairing this tunic (which is on sale) and bathing suit we are covered in the red, white and blue department.  We are going to tie the outfit together with these classic ray bans, casual nude sandals, and of course a hat to protect us from the sun. What are you planning on wearing this 4th of July?

End Table Styling

As promised, here are some styling tips for your end table.  I like to start with a collection of hard cover books and stack them on top of each other. I place my vintage find or decorative object on top of the stack of books. A tray has multiple uses...drink holder, clutter collector or eye catching object. This one seems to serve all of those purposes. The candle and matches also go on the tray. The end table is coming together...just add flowers...bingo, bango...you have a sharp looking end table.

Inspiration: The End Table

Now onto today's post, the inspiration for this week is the end table. We found several vignettes of fabulous end tables that we wanted to share with you. Hopefully, they will offer some inspiration on this Monday morning!

It looks like fresh flowers is a common theme in these images. Wouldn't it be nice to have fresh flowers in your house 24/7? That is a bit of a reach. So, you can always add height with a vase filled with colorful lemons, limes or oranges. Then when you are out of lemons...you can just grab them from your living room. Stay tuned for more styling tips tomorrow!

Best,

Marion and Leslie

Obsession of the Week: The Cocktail Napkin

1, 2, 3, 4, 5

We love a good cocktail napkin.  You really cannot go wrong with any of these picks.  They can instantly change the mood of your gathering.  Use the Mark and Graham napkin for a traditional feel with a monogram, but in the fun orange color for a contemporary vibe.  Try the  chevron print napkins for backyard BBQ. Which style is more you?

Obsession of the Week: The Floor Pillow

A floor pillow can serve many purposes in your home. Not only does it act as an extra seat or place to prop your feet; it also adds color, pattern, and texture to the room.  We love the idea of throwing one of these under your coffee table or in the corner of the room to fill that empty space. What are your thoughts? Love it or leave it?
