Spotlight On Serena and Lily

I have long been a fan of Serena and Lily.  The design philosophy of founders,  Serena Dugan and Lily Kanter, is to "...... take joy in the process of creating a beautiful home." That is easy to do with the tools and inspiration they have provided in their latest Fall 2014 collection. I received my catalog yesterday, which features over 250 new items including furniture, decor, bed + bath as well as items for kids and baby. The new curated collection for Fall is so chic, I just had to share!

~ Furniture ~

Casually Collected

Doesn't this room just work? The standout piece to me is the new Savile White Coffee Table. It is also pictured in the first image above in persimmon.  See all of the new furniture pieces HERE The room is anchored with the new Reade Stripe Dhurrie in Navy/Chambray. It's a twist on tradition with a playful vibe.

Topanga Chair

Made with the finest rattan, this chair is the perfect companion to a desk or dining table. And can't you just see it in a sun room?

Serena and Lily

Parisian Side Table

Parisian chic, oui? The design team took their signature bar cart and turned it into the perfect accent piece for any room in the home.  Best yet, the top of the table lifts up to be a tray for serving and entertaining.

Heathered Knit Throw

Made of baby alpaca fleece, which is said to be softer than cashmere, this throw is cozy, warm, and surprisingly light. It's a favorite of mine because I think it can go modern or traditional. 

Serena and Lily

Goodman Pendant

If you want to make a statement with lighting, the dining room is the place to do so. I just love the strong architectural element these lights bring to this room. And that Drapery! Oh my, the Silk Shantung Window Panel in Malachite is gorgeous.

Serena and Lily

La Jolla Baskets

Stylish storage. Aren't we all looking for that in our lives?  These handmade baskets are lovely for so many things - toys or diapers in the nursery, towels in the bath, linens or laundry.

~ Bed and Bath ~

Gobi Towels

If you believe, like Serena and Lily does, that a good towel is one of life's little luxuries, then the new Gobi is for you. With design details like chic chevron and embroidered motifs, these indeed are luxurious!

Serena and Lily

Metallic Duvet Cover and Sham

I love the unexpected, don't you? And the subtle sparkle of lurex dresses up these stripes!

Serena and Lily

Swirl Appliqué Bedskirt 

This is something hard to find when you need one. So I was excited to see that Serena and Lily offers this skirt in three colorways. It is sweet, sophisticated and very fine. You will find other styles, too.

~ Kids and Baby ~

Banded Linen Collection

A fresh and feminine look in luxe linen for the baby girl. The bright pops of color create a playful palette. 
Serena and Lily

Rope Gift Basket
if you really want to send a special baby gift, consider one of these. Choose baby girl, baby boy or surprise baby. It is chock full of tiny finery. The basket is a great looking vessel for presenting each gift wrapped item.  You'll be the star at the Baby Shower.
Serena and Lily

Newport Ottoman and Lounger

A place of their own in their room or the playroom. Big kids and grown ups alike will pull up a portable ottoman and rest their feet.

Serena and Lily

Sweater Knit Baby Blanket

This jazzy little blanket will be baby's fave when it's time to get cozy. Available In three sweet shades. Priced just right for gifting!

Wedding Wednesday: Spring 2015 Bridal Trends

(Via Jeanette Getrost)

This week has been all about Spring 2015 Fashion at #NYFW2014. But back in April the runways were filled with the best of bridal for Spring 2015.  Today, fashion forward brides come to expect more than a little lace and a sweetheart neckline.  The designers did not disappoint for Spring.  

Here: Four Top Trends 

Off The Shoulder

This is a romantic look that adds an instant softness to the dress. An off the shoulder neckline adds emphasis to shoulders and is a nice alternative to a typical sweetheart neckline.

Anne Barge Whisper
And those sleeves are indeed just a whisper of tulle.  Loving the simple silhouette of this embellished gown.

Pronovias

Chantilly lace and a beautiful face and arms! A close up look of this dress really shows the gorgeous sheer sleeves and pretty shoulder line.

Monique Lhuillier

The designer created a coordinating shrug to be worn over the Axelle strapless drop waist gown with cascading tulle skirt. I think this extra piece adds so much interest and style.

 Jenny Packman - The Hepburn

Demure and elegant, this gown reflects two trends - bows and off the shoulder.

Illusion Backs

Think about it. The back of your gown actually gets plenty of viewing. As you walk down the aisle, as you stand at the altar, and even during your first spin on the dance floor, your back is to your guests. So why shouldn't the back be as interesting (or even more) as the front of the dress?

Kenneth Pool

The Katya is an drop dead gorgeous look with just perfect placement of the appliques.

The Sada is another favorite of mine with a big WOW factor.  A dropped waist ballgown with lace applique and bustled tulle skirt.

Amsale Heather
Sexy in a sophisticated way, the Heather is made of heavy crepe with a bateau neckline and sheer back. Covered buttons from neckline to the waist add intrigue.  The veil is so perfect with the gown!

Oversized Bows

Ines di Santo 2015 
This is quite the gown that is both sexy and elegant. Love the creative use of fabric.

Jesus Peiro
This is a pretty collection from this Spanish bridal house. The oversized bow is the perfect size for the voluminous skirt.

Tulle Skirts
If you have always dreamed about looking like a Princess, next Spring is your time. Poufy full ballgown skirts are bigger than ever. 

Vera Wang

I am not sure what Vera was thinking this year, most of her models look like they need a good meal.  But her gowns remain magical. The metallic embroidery makes a big statement here.

Sareh Nouri
Layers of tulle and silk organza create a dramatic look with a keyhole back. Too much?

Pronovias Leina
From the Dreams Collection, this is one frilly frock. I particularly like the silver and gemstone appliqued belt. The dress needed that.
