lulie wallace

art 6:00 AM

I discovered Lulie Wallace's beautiful work through Megan over at Holy City Chic. This Charleston based artist has tons of variations of her work on her website. She has original artwork, prints, note cards, lunch boxes, you name it! Lulie Wallace's pieces are Southern, bright, colorful, and a little bit funky. Not your usual grandma floral art. I can't begin to tell you all the things I want from her website.

Coincidentally, Lulie is hosting a pop up shop today at Furbish Studio from 5pm to 8pm! I love these exclusive orchid paintings - and they're giving you a real orchid in a blue and white pot? Perfect!

Anyone else a fan of her artwork?

Draper James

Draper James 6:00 AM

Y'all may have heard that Reese Witherspoon opened her own lifestyle company, Draper James, recently. It features all things Southern from clothing to home accessories to stationery and more. There will be a little bit of editorial it seems like, with place to visit in the South, cute Southerisms, and Southern parties. This lifestyle website/company seems to be the latest trend with celebrities. As you may be aware Gwyneth Paltrow has "Goop" and Blake Lively has "Preserve". I don't know about you, but I think Reese Witherspoon is adorable and so are her products. Apparently, most of the items are produced in the South and you can tell by all the lace, gingham, floral, and stripe patterns that Draper James was definitely inspired by her Southern roots.

The price range is lower than Goop and Preserve and it ranges from $50 to $400 for sportswear, $25 to $250 for jewelry, $40 to $325 for handbags and leather goods, and $14 to $400 for home décor. It is definitely girly, preppy, and Southern. There are some good gifting items though! What do you think? You can also follow their instagram here for updates.

Tartan at Home

bathroom 7:14 AM

Tartan is such a classic pattern. It can add the perfect amount of preppy and/or Southern feel to any traditional or modern home decor. Not to mention it would be a great pattern to add for the holidays (oh how I love Christmas decor. I know, way too early to be talking about Christmas. Or is it!?) I can also see it in a man room or den. With navy walls. Still obsessed with navy these days.
