Lulalu

Lulalu is one of the many interesting lines that I saw while at NYIGF last month. Lulalu is redesigned Mayfair Lane brand of clips that so many of you love. I was a little skeptical when I first heard that they were redesigning the clip but then I saw them in person and loved it! Lulalu are great circular clips that have a nonsticky grip that stick to stainless steel fridges! They come in 12 bright solid colors so you can mix and match (awesome for school colors!) They also have some super cute notepads that also have the grip on the back! Look for these in all your stores in the coming months!

Sugarboo Stationery

{Cards on BHLDN}

Aren't the graphics on these cards great? These are from the line Sugarboo Designs who are known for their amazing frames and art but have now gotten into stationery. These little cards are a steal since they retail for around $2.00 a piece and are perfect to add to any gift to include your sweet message!

Rent The Runway Cont.

If you follow my blog you may remember me talking a while back about the website Rent the Runway. Last weekend I had my first opportunity to use the website and I have to say it was awesome! We were going to a black tie wedding in Austin, TX and I had worn everything in my closet on more than one occasion so I thought I would give it a whirl- I loved it!!! I wore an emerald green floor length Bagley Mischka $600 gown and I only spent $50 on it (I had a $50 gift certificate to the site). They delivered the gown to my hotel in Austin and they sent an additional size (which is what I ended up wearing!) After the wedding I just stuck the dresses in a USPS prepaid envelope and off the dress went!! It was seamless and I would totally use them again!!

Are you a Sloanie?

{All pieces can be found at Swoozies}

I thought I would give a more official post on Sloane Ranger now that the larger pieces are hitting the stores! Sloane Ranger has the cutest patterns in the most practical shapes! I love The duffle, The tote, and the crossbody bag! What I think is so great about Sloane Ranger is that it really knows no age- I think that the tote is great for mom's on the go as well as college kids and even down to a very cute preschooler bag! The duffle is great for tweens but could also be a very stylish gym bag! This line is going to be very very hot for Christmas- plan ahead so you don't miss out!!

Cie Luxe

I just stopped by a great store in McKinney to drop off a catalog for the awesome soap line Cie Luxe. Savon de Marseille is bold, bright, smells wonderful, and makes a statement in anyone home. Even better yet, Gwyneth Paltrow endorsed them on GOOP which must make it amazing! Martha Stewart also features them regularly in Martha Stewart Living.

Monogram Monday

Since I missed Monogram Monday last week I am doing a double header today! Moving right along with the back to school theme for this Monday I thought I would feature some adorable Children's stationery. Believe it or not kids love to write thank you notes (for the most part) and what better way to keep them excited than by getting super cute notes for them. All of these notes are part of the English Paper Company and can be found from Getpapered.com or your local stationery store!

Monogram Monday

In honor of kids going back to school today I thought I would post some very cute back-to-school items that are all must haves from Garnet Hill. I am a big fan of using kids initials on their school bags and lunchboxes- they are much tougher to get confused and/or stolen when you know exactly who it belongs too! Be careful when using their full name on any items that they carry regularly since it makes them a target for stranger danger (and I don't even have children!!) I love all the back to school items on Garnet Hill. My sister bought my niece's back pack there last year and it still looks good! They have a great special running through September 6- if you buy a back pack you get a lunch box free!
