Stationery Reborn

July 27, 2010 in Editor Favorites, New Product, shopping by Kate | 5 comments

One might say that Christmas has come early for me this year, thanks an exciting new collaboration that I can’t wait to share with you.

I’ve been a fan of Snow & Graham, a Chicago-based producer of fine stationery, wrapping papers, calendars and other fantastic paper items, for years. In fact, when it comes time to purchase a card for a friend, I normally head straight to Sam Flax on the Westside or Paper Source in Virginia-Highland to, more often than not, find myself leaving with a fabulous new Snow & Graham product. If you’re a stationery nerd and design fanatic like myself, I’m sure you can relate. The motifs are unfailingly fresh, fashion-forward and elegant, and the paper and printing quality is always tops.

Happily, it seems that Garnet Hill shares my penchant; the company will debut a number of pretty new products featuring Snow & Graham’s signature graphic designs for the 2010 holiday season. These include sumptuous supima flannel and cotton percale bedding and cheerful doormats now, and in the future, Garnet Hill plans to extend the collaboration even further by introducing lots of additional home and fashion items with the telltale Snow & Graham touch. Even better, two of the patterns used in the current collection, Tweets and Cocoa Cups, are already my favorites. Keep an eye out for the introductions below (and more!) when the collection becomes available at garnethill.com on September 15.

Pretty Preview: Lilly Pulitzer Home Fall 2010 for Garnet Hill

May 19, 2010 in Editor Favorites, Editor Picks, New Product, shopping by Kate | 6 comments

My alliance with Lilly Pulitzer fashions has always been, shall we say, a bit irresolute. On the one hand, I tend to find the standardized colors, patterns and cuts a bit predictable and conservative for my tastes but, on the other, I’ve always relished in the way that simply spotting an adorable Lilly sheath dress or cardigan can serve as an unmistakable beacon of late spring and summer weather (hands down, my favorite time of the year). And yet, even in winter, I once coveted a pair of pink herringbone wide-leg wool trousers—complete with brown leather equestrian accents—at the Lilly Pulitzer store fronting the same street on which I lived at the time in Charleston. As you might imagine, meeting them again was unavoidable. I visited those trousers more times than is sensible as I passed the shop on King Street, taking them off and placing them back on their rack, hovering around the disquieted question, “Are pink trousers really practical?” In the end, my indecisiveness caused me to miss the boat on that pair, and they surely went to a stylish woman with more gumption than myself.

These days, I’d like to think I’ve come closer to mastering the art of the impulse purchase, and I’m also happy to say that the new Lilly Pulitzer Home Fall 2010 collection, exclusively for Garnet Hill, has captured my fancy almost as much as those chic pink pants. From bohemian botanicals to nautical-meets-safari motifs, to tiny florals in lime green, all of the new pieces for Garnet Hill Home—toss pillows, bedding, shower curtains, rugs and more—suggest the refreshing, sunny attitude that Ms. Pulitzer has always served up with pedigree… no matter the season.

The new Lilly Pulitzer Home collection will be available on August 8 at garnethill.com. I can’t wait to see how local Atlanta designers incorporate the pieces into children’s rooms, guest cottages and seaside second homes. For now, a little preview of what’s to come:
