Monthly Musing: Gingham

This season, gingham has hit the main streets and is more country chic than Daisy Duke. For a laid back wedding, add a touch of it to your bouquets or your tablescape. With classic tailoring and simple silhouettes, this print can also be office ready or kept quirky by pairing it with an unexpected print like these bloggers. Even if the closest you''ll ever get to "country" is urban farming with your CSA, you'll look fresh as a daisy in gingham this summer! Check out more of our gingham favorites here!

Monthly Musing: Laser-cut

A cut here, a nip there....we homepage couldn't help http://mccallssf.com/ but notice the laser-cut details and strategic peeks of skin that walked the runway this spring at NYFW. This cutting edge of a trend {pun not intended} may have started on the runway with models showing slivers of skin through tasteful, precise cutouts, but it has now translated well into home decor {we are dying over these side tables} and special events + weddings. Join us this spring and play "peek-a-boo" with some laser-cut details!
