Happy Friday! Today we have another Noted Retailer to share with you: Pinney Kelly Paper! I’m not sure when and where I actually met Katie and Sarah, the founders of Pinney Kelly Paper, but it was probably at a trade show somewhere, and it is safe to say that we became fast friends! They are…
Every room needs a touch of black–that’s Whitney English Design Philosophy 101. It anchors a room. The above has more than just a touch; the neutral tones seem grounded by the black wainscoat, the dark wine bottles, and the neutrally-framed chalkboard. I’m particularly fond of kitchen chalkboards, especially when they are in the reach of…
I’ve always loved that perfect shade french blue. A little bit gray, a little bit green, a little bit blue. Restoration Hardware’s Silver Sage is a perfect shade for walls. When it came time to choose colors for our Oklahoma home, I chose Pratt and Lambert’s Contemplation for the living room and master bedroom. (It…
I wanted to share some photos from Katie’s wedding. You’ll have to forgive the picture quality–I’m still learning things about the “fancy camera”! Upon entering the reception hall, we were met with this darling set up of vintage lawn chairs under carnival lights. Katie set the perfect mood for a hot summer night, and it…

(More products are currently in development!) I think David would love the golf themed belt! And don’t flip out now, but you’ve never seen anything more…
Look what came in the mail! Perfect focus for a preppy week. The first thing that caught my eye was the fabulous return address. Crisp and bright navy ink on white envelopes. (I love the square size, but remember it is extra postage!) I opened the mailer to reveal this modern preppy Tory Burch pattern,…
There is nothing preppier than a monogram. So, when Julie over at Lemon Tree Paperie sent me this photo of her newborn’s nursery, I had to share it with you. Don’t you love the green walls? Isn’t the striped border crisp and elegant? Check out the Serena and Lily bedding! Are you drooling? Me, too!…
Summer is here, and there is nothing preppier than summer. In celebration of sailing, beach houses, flip flops and Lilly Pulitzer shifts, we’re hosting a Week of Preppy! To kick it off, I’d like to introduce you to a few of my favorite preppy bloggers, a few of whom have offered to sponsor a stationery…
