Art of the Entry Napkin Collection

Savannah-inspired Cocktail Napkin Collection with Lettermade

Garden and Gun Southern Grown Festival

It's been a pretty exciting week for Lavin Label with the launch of  the Art of the Entry candle and stationery collections! To bring you up to speed, I teamed up with illustrator Shanna Masters to paint Savannah-inspired homes that perfectly align with #artoftheentry, a hashtag that I created a few years ago to share my favorite homes with you. It's been an honor working with Dixie Design Collective and Salt and Shore Co. to offer you high-quality stationery and hand-poured candles based on the Art of the Entry illustrations. Today, I have one more very exciting announcement! As part of the Art of the Entry, I also partnered with Lettermade to bring you embroidered cocktail napkins! I have been following Lettermade for years and I'm obsessed with their beautiful and classic designs. Malia, the…

Art of the Entry Candle Collection

A Savannah-Inspired Candle Collection with Salt and Shore Co.

Art of the Entry Candle Collection

Earlier this week, I shared the exciting news that I've teamed up with Dixie Design Collective to bring my #artoftheentry homes to life! It's been such an exciting process to see the Savannah-inspired illustrations by Shanna Masters transpire. If you haven't checked out the entire Art of the Entry stationery collection, please visit Dixie Design Collective to see the full suite of paper goods! As part of my initial vision for the home illustrations, I wanted to offer a variety of home-related products. Earlier this year, I started following Savannah-based Salt and Shore Company on Instagram. The owner, Mandy Mathis, hand-pours all of her candles in small batches in the historic district. I ended up meeting her for coffee one morning at Mirabelle Suites and I knew instantly that I wanted to work with her on…

Art of the Entry Stationery

Yes, you heard it right! I've teamed up with Birmingham-based Dixie Design Collective to offer you a hand-designed stationery collection inspired by the colors, architecture and allure of Savannah, Georgia. After many months of planning, I'm so excited to finally share our Savannah-inspired collection with you! You can shop the full collection online at Dixie Design Collective. Since I started Lavin Label, I've always been drawn to the entries of homes especially in the South. I've been using #artoftheentry across social media (special thanks to Brian Hoffman and Brooke Bell for coming up with the phrase) to share my favorite homes with you. On a recent trip to Bermuda with Casey, I woke up in the middle of the night with the idea to bring #artoftheentry to life through hand-painted illustrations. So, it has been…

Floral Fall Dress

A Lightweight Wrap Dress Fit for Fall

J.McLaughlin Wrap Dress

It's the unofficial end of summer now that labor day is behind us. I hope that you had fun plans to soak in the last days of summer! I was fortunate enough to spend my holiday weekend at Sea Island Resorts for their annual Southern Grown Festival. My four-day holiday weekend was filled with great food + drinks, live music and boat cruises! Now that the cooler months are ahead, I'm replenishing my wardrobe with some fall-ready essentials. Last week, I shared a classic black jumpsuit from J.McLaughlin and fortunately for us they have loads of new pre-fall arrivals! One of my favorite pieces is this lightweight silk wrap dress. The ruffle details and floral-inspired pattern add a touch of femininity. I paired the dress with black suede heels and a fold over clutch.…

The Art of Styling a Bar Cart

A Recap of My Southern Grown Festival Workshop

Garden and Gun Southern Grown Festival

This past holiday weekend, I was honored to be asked by Sea Island Resorts and Garden and Gun to be a tastemaker for the Southern Grown Festival. I've attended #SeaIslandSoGro for the past four years so I was really excited to be a part of the line-up this year! As part of their "How to be a Southerner" workshops, I’m sharing three ways to enhance your bar cart. It’s important to remember that your bar cart should add energy to your space and complement your decor. Have fun and be creative! One. Infuse Your Personality. Start with a bar cart that matches your style. I love this rattan bar cart from Ethan Allen. Since I live in the South, the casual and island-inspired bar cart perfectly matches the vibe in my home. Incorporate cocktail…
