Elite Leather

We’re thrilled to announce our newest client Elite Leather, a stylish line of custom made furniture that everyone here at Ruby Press is coveting! It’s a family run business {they just surpassed the 50 year milestone!} and each piece on their line is beautifully made with incredible attention to detail. {And their custom furniture is typically ready in 2 to 4 weeks- how’s that for instant gratification?} And don’t let the name fool you- sure, they offer over 200 leather options, but they also offer hundreds of fabric options as well {even great organic options!}.

Some of our favorite designers have created lines for Elite Leather- Nathan Turner, Lulu de Kwiatkowski, and now Angela Adams. Don’t you just love??

I must apologize…

for the lack of fashion show coverage this season here on the blog. We’ve been delightfully busy here in the office and I must admit, I haven’t been very inspired by the shows overall. Now that Paris Fashion Week is over, I’m sure we’ll backtrack and find some looks we can’t help but share, but I’m afraid it’s that same feeling I got when I was an editor. Sometimes it’s just that kind of season that “makes me crazy” {that’s good} or one that makes it feel more like a job.

Gimme Shelter

Have you checked out the blog Shelter yet? It’s incredibly chic and packed with design inspiration! The lovely Paloma introduced me to the blog and provided a link for a peek into Julie’s home {Julie is the woman behind the interior design firm and blog, Shelter}. Care to take a tour?

I love how craspedia can break up a lush, romantic bouquet and make it slightly modern while adding incredible texture. Don’t they do the same for the Heidi braid?

Nesting Newbies

I just discovered a fantastic new digital shelter magazine and had to share. It’s called Nesting Newbies and is geared towards people “new to nesting and have no clue when it comes to cooking, entertaining, and decorating”–a great resource for those of us who have not quite mastered our way around the kitchen {I’m SO guilty!}. The affordable ideas for creative tabletops, cooking videos available on the website, and delicious food photography may just be the ticket to helping me overcome my fear of the kitchen!

Twenty years of Maison Martin Margiela

Terra — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 14:58:50 +0000

I’ve always viewed Martin Margiela’s designs as works of art that should be collected and appreciated as such. So when I read that more than 1,000 vintage and one-of-a-kind pieces, owned by the late Marcia Berger are now on display at Resurrection Vintage Clothing in New York and Los Angeles, I was elated! 300 select pieces are also featured for sale on design auction website 1stdibs.com. With most pieces priced in the four-figures, this collection isn’t for everyone, but perusing the pieces online is a must-do for fashion lovers!

Heather at Habitually Chic always compiles the most beautiful images, and I love this collection of foyers she posted…

Attention engaged readers!! This Monday, March 1st, Swoon is launching a contest that will have you salivating… The winner will win three gorgeous Swoon bridesmaid dresses of her choice. That’s a sure-fire recipe for three happy bridesmaids if I’ve ever heard one! {That’s almost $1,000 worth of chic silk bridesmaids dresses, free!}

DUJOUR Magazine

kadie — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 18:16:03 +0000

Fashion magazines are my nourishment, so you can imagine my overflowing joy in discovering a new {to me!} glossy I can obsess over. NYC-based DUJOUR magazine is filled with dreamy editorials and witty articles–very Lula-esque {one of my absolute favorites}. DUJOUR is available for immediate gratification in digital format ($12 for a 1-year subscription) and a limited edition run of hard copies. Plus, how could you not LOVE a publication with this slogan: “Fashion With Sprinkles On Top”!
