Weekend Inspiration: From the Boudoir { part two }

Friday is here and so is part two of our Boudoir collection! Last week we collected a few items from our ladies Boudoir cabinet, which means today we're focusing on men's essentials. Minimalist wooden toothbrushes, almond oil soap, mustache combs, a brush to shine your shoes with and a dopp kit bag to keep it all in a tidy place, our men's goods keep it nice and simple. An old world feel with a modern approach, the majority of our men's products keep grooming an effortless and low-maintenance endeavor, just as the modern man would have it. Have a great weekend!

From Children's Toys to Fashion Accessories

When it comes to seeing his name and work pop up on our blog, instagram our Facebook page, Collin Garrity is no stranger. As our in-house woodworker, Collin is always coming up with some new and exciting project to contribute to the store, which makes it all the easier to talk about him. Collin's breadth of work has been expanding since day one, leaving his comfort zone of children's toys to explore new territory of lighting fixtures, furniture, Christmas ornaments and fashion accessories, which brings us to what we're most excited about at the moment. Recently contacted by one of France's leading fashion designers Christophe Lemaire, Collin created numerous handmade wooden toggles that act as clasps on Lemaire's current line of belts. As you can see from the photos below (courtesy of Elle France) Collin's toggles have now been featured in Vogue UK, Elle France and have been seen walking down the runway of Paris' Fashion Week! Our excitement is through the roof and Collin is living proof that you never know where things may take you and to live out one's passion in life is an absolute must.

From ChristopheLemaire.com :

Christophe Lemaire designs the clothes he would like to wear himself, and the result is possibly the most universal garde-robe. The ideal wardrobe is the perennial theme of his collections, timeless yet precise garments for each one to mix according to the mood and moment to create a very personal unform. He solves the equation of a garment that is completely wearable for a diverse range of individuals looking for pieces both quiet and singular.

In june 2010, Christophe Lemaire is named artistic director of Hermès women ready to wear and presented his first collection in march with cordial welcome. “The choice was made very naturally. Christophe Lemaire designs sport chic garments exactly in the spirit of the ones created by Hermès since the 1920’s says Pierre Alexis Dumas, artistic director of the house, seduced by his perennial approach to fashion.”

Spongebob Squarepants in Savannah

In case you haven't already heard the news, Spongebob Squarepants is coming to Savannah! Set to film in the next couple of weeks, the word around town is Broughton Street, which is located in heart of Savannah's historic district, will be the stage and backdrop for a grand scene in the upcoming film Spongebob Squarepants 2. Taking a walk down Broughton street it's amazing to see the transformation that has been taking place in preparation for the big movie. Buildings that had been abandoned and colorless for years now look excitingly fresh and inviting as they are being painted one by one in bold primary colors. With new signage going up everyday, and being able to watch Broughton Street continue to transform into Salty Shoals, downtown Savannah looks and feels more vibrant than ever and our excitement to see Savannah on the big screen only intensifies with each fresh coat of paint. 

Enjoy a few photos of some of our favorite new buildings!

On The Shelf: New Wardrobe for Fall

Clothes for children always seem to be so much more interesting and exciting than they are for adults. Maybe it's just the size of the clothes, or knowing that they will outgrow their wardrobe almost immediately that makes them seem so special. Whatever the case may be, we are super excited to stock our shelves with all these adorable little outfits for the cool weather ahead. Between patterned onesies and classic cardigans and numerous little hats to choose from, dressing your children just became even even more exciting.

A Fancy Fall Gathering

Continuing with our Autumn themed tablescapes, this week we've lined the table in preparation for another early Fall gathering. Setting the table for a fancier evening than last week, we've utilized our favorite silver and glassware. To keep the atmosphere from feeling unapproachable we incorporated a lot of natural color and texture throughout the display to provide a more calming and accessible environment. Adding dried flowers and wooden mushrooms within perpetuates the Autumn motif and brings a refreshingly natural element to the tabletop as one enjoys their meal. With the arrival of Fall and  the weather we've been enjoying lately, whether it be a fancy or casual evening, resisting to drag the table outside for a fall gathering every night is becoming increasingly more and more difficult.

Weekend Inspiration: From the Boudoir

The weekend is almost here, which means we're gearing up for some inspiration to keep the next two days filled with fun and excitement. This weekend we're focused on making sure our bathroom is stocked with our favorite toiletries. Inspired by the subtle scents of our fresh soaps and the soothing qualities of our various lip balms, our Boudoir shop is stocked full with beauty products that make you feel as wonderful as the products themselves. Next time you're looking to add some freshness to your own boudoir, you know where to shop!

A Fall Gathering

With the weather we've been having lately in Savannah, there's no hiding the fact that Fall is upon us. Waking up to rainy, overcast days can be tiresome, which is all the more reason why spending time with close friends and family is a must. One of our favorite ways to get everyone to gather around is a good old fashioned feast and with our most recent display, we've set the table for such an occasion. To keep our Autumn theme consistent we utilized warm earth tones throughout the table intermixed with subtle pops of red and green. The place settings remain somewhat simple as to keep the focus on the company gathered around the table. Utilizing Santa Rosa church candles with feathers and dried flowers as a centerpiece the table blends seamlessly into the atmosphere of a late fall evening. What else could one want than to share an evening with friends and family, keeping warm and eating well long into the evening? Bon Appetit!

Postcards from Paris: { London mania à Paris }

Once again Fashion week is rolling around, and the windows at Printemps are emphasizing the London life. It seems to actually be a common theme throughout the city. Overhearing Brits on the Paris rues makes me question, " are we in london?" After seeing the window display I questioned even more. I have an overwheming craving for scones and crumpets and tea and Prince William and Kate Middleton. It's a nice balance to have the Brits in town with their wild sense of fashion mixed amoungst the french chic sense of self.
Bisous,
Reba
