SHERIDAN FRENCH

April 25, 2013

If you love color and pattern as much as I do, you probably already have a few Sheridan French pieces on your wish list. Seeing my friend Hanna wearing the Lillian Skirt in her Glitter Guide feature earlier this week has me coveting it even more!

To help you cross those items off your wish lists and get them into your spring wardrobe, the Sheridan French team is offering The Pursuit of Style readers 10% off through Thursday, May 2 with code: YESPLEASE.

In case you need help narrowing it down (which I always do) the Pippa Shorts, Marlowe Pants, and aforementioned Lillian Skirt are my top picks. Happy shopping!

EYE CATCHING

April 24, 2013

If you’re looking for some attention grabbing accessories these are my top picks: stunning marbled artwork from Denmark based Snedker Studio–oh the rooms I could design around that piece! A tassel necklace in the prettiest shade of mint. All eyes will be on you (literally!) when you wear these sassy loafers.

Splatter paint has never looked more chic. My latest spring nail color crush. The perfect clutch which you can score for 10% off using code PURSUIT10. The code is good site-wide at Roztayger but it expires today so shop quickly!

BITS & PIECES

Robert Abbey

Robert Abbey | High Point Market | The Pursuit of Style

Whoa, so sorry for going off the grid! So where have I been? Design Mecca–also known as High Point Market. Kathryn and I spent the past few days visiting the showrooms of our favorite vendors and happily stumbling upon new vendors we can’t wait to use in upcoming projects.

As a newbie to Market, I was completely in awe of the whole experience. I kept telling Kathryn it felt like Disney World for design. I was thrilled to see products in person that I’ve only admired in the pages of magazines and was completely inspired by the perfectly styled showrooms. I can only imagine the amount of work that goes into planning an event of this size.

So what were my favorites? The chinoiserie inspired vignettes at Bungalow 5, tape trim pillows in candy colored colors at J.Douglas, the artwork at Design Legacy (still working on finding out artist info), Hermes orange walls in Alexa Hampton’s room at Hickory Chair, everything Aerin Lauder at Visual Comfort, an intricate shell chandelier at Oly Studio, the colorful Turkish rugs at CR Laine, and lamps at Robert Abbey… plus so much more!

I’m feeling so energized by everything we saw and can’t wait to get back to work. If you were at Market, what were your favorites?

BIRD BRAINED

April 18, 2013

Let’s play a game called self-justification… I would totally wear this pelican print top all spring, right? It’s one of those pieces that’s going to sell out and I’m going to kick myself for not buying it when I had the chance and think about it forever, right? The whimsical print will just challenge me to think outside the box when styling it, right?

Thanks, that’s exactly what I thought.

P.S Or maybe I should just take advantage of Shopbop’s sale and just buy the tank version in mint?

IN MY BAG + ROZTAYGER DISCOUNT

April 17, 2013

Yesterday I introduced you to Elizabeth Jeffer, the charming owner of roztayger. Elizabeth and I originally connected after this post about Meli Melo. I had fallen in love with the Thela and roztayger was one of the few US retailers carrying the line–I told you she was an expert curator!

After reading my post, Elizabeth was kind enough to reach out and offer me a generous discount on my beloved Thela. It was still an investment for me but one that was long over due and I haven’t regretted it for a second! The leather is buttery soft and the taupe color is the perfect neutral to carry year-round.

Since Elizabeth spilled the contents of her purse for us yesterday, I thought I’d be a good sport and spill mine too. Yikes, what a mess! To make up for subjecting you to my clutter, how about a discount code? I know you won’t have trouble putting it to good use, but if you’re having trouble deciding I’d go with this, this, or this. Happy shopping!

Use code PURSUIT10 for 10% off site wide through Wednesday, April 24!
