Spring 2012: Island Blooms

Behind every paisley, bird and bloom, there’s a story. For the inside scoop on the inspiration behind the most recent additions to our colorful family, we turned to Liz of Liz on Location for the details on our fresh designs, starting with Island Blooms.

Island Blooms

“This creates a mood similar to that of a tropical and lush atmosphere, through stylized, tribal-inspired white blooms on a crystal-clear aqua lagoon. Travel to a paradise that echoes the style of Gauguin’s Tahitian paintings, complete with a palette of aquatic hues. You can almost taste the tropical flavors found on a leisurely stroll along the coastline.

Island Blooms

The interior is equally inspiring, with a mosaic-like span of tiles in coordinating colors.  The design illustrates the color blocking trend of the season, while the rough lines illustrate the free strokes of a brush.”

Transportation to a tropical paradise … yes, please! If you have a thing for the intoxicating Island Blooms, comment below. We will randomly select five lucky ladies to receive a free Tote, in celebration of the arrival of Spring 2012!

Shop the new collection when it arrives online and in stores, Thursday, January 19.

*This giveaway is now closed. Thank you for commenting and congratulations to the winners!

    My Cactus — splits her Beard
    To show her throat —

    Carnations — tip their spice —
    And Bees — pick up —
    A Hyacinth — I hid —
    Puts out a Ruffled Head —
    And odors fall
    From flasks — so small —
    You marvel how they held —

    Globe Roses — break their satin glake —
    Upon my Garden floor —
    Yet — thou — not there —
    I had as lief they bore
    No Crimson — more —

    Thy flower — be gay —
    Her Lord — away!
    It ill becometh me —
    I’ll dwell in Calyx — Gray —
    How modestly — alway —
    Thy Daisy — Drape for Thee
    Emily Dickenson …
