It’s Friday! So I figured we’d celebrate by promoting my very creative, successful friends (many fellow bloggers) who have recently launched new products. In a perfect world I would dedicate a blog post to each of them, because they deserve it, but the blog calendar is FULL, so I figured one big ‘my friends are amazing look at what they are up to’ post will hopefully suffice. I’m proud of them and exhausted even thinking about the amount of work I know goes into a product line.
First up, the queen of product Oh Joy! has a new pet line at Target that is so bright and happy. We talk about getting a dog all the time and then I think, ‘OH SURE! A NEW PUPPY GETTING YOU UP 3 TIMES A NIGHT TO PEE IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU NEED TO SEND YOU STRAIGHT INTO ONE OF THOSE EXHAUSTION REHAB CENTERS’. (Seriously can anyone check themselves into those?)
But these dog clothes sure are cute!!
Buy them HERE. And then she went and launched a furniture line with Cloth and Co, that is her signature style wrapped up in major pieces of furniture – colorful, graphic, and bold.
That settee is my favorite and could look super cute in a playroom or a kid’s room. I also love the color of this bench – it would look so cute in Birdie’s room (except for the fact that we now put the biggest chair in the world in there – which we love).
It’s all sold at Target.com – check out the full collection HERE, and all of their furniture (I think) is on sale this weekend.
You’ve probably seen on instagram that Bri Emery of DesignLoveFest, the lady who travels for a living, designed this super cute luggage line. Remember when I did her living room? (Remember the year when I basically only did blogger collabs? HA!)
There is more than just the bigger pieces, too – with makeup bags and totes as well. Super cute. Lovely job, Bri!!! Buy them HERE!
She also sells super pretty darn cute cell-phone cases –
Buy them HERE!
Next up is the lady that produces maybe even more different lines than Joy and they all KILL IT in the most jungalicious way. Justina Blakeney of The Jungalow.
She has rugs and pillows with Loloi, Wallpaper with Hygge and West, and now a line of dope furniture from Salamat.
These are her rugs/pillows:
See them HERE!
And now her furniture and accessories:
SO CUTE. I’m waiting for the right project to use that amazing peacock chair. See it HERE!
Maxwell Ryan of Apartment Therapy. Now Maxwell has had a sofa collaboration with Interior Define and I have the first iteration of it and vouch 100% for it. It’s AWESOME (he’s modeling it below):
Here’s the armchair version:
I know that it’s hard to buy a sofa without sitting on it, but I have that sofa above in navy blue and my whole family loves it because it’s so deep and low. If you enjoy sitting super erect then this isn’t for you, but if you are into lounging but still want the look of a english roll arm, this sofa is for you.
And now he has a tufted version that I LOVE.
Buy them HERE!
There are very few people I’m more proud of in the world than my good friend Jen of Ban.do. I met her when she was just starting to make cute hair accessories and selling them online. Now she has 40 employees and a company that creates and sells awesome accessories that make you smile even if it’s not your style.
I could rock that blush purse right now.
I want this light box for Charlie’s room (and may get it).
Her jewelry is always a bit cheeky but has enough subtlety to it that you don’t have to be a millennial to pull it off (or put it on).
Every day they create a new product that I don’t know about – like these socks. SO VERY, VERY GOOD. She kills it in the art/creative direction game and no one writes more personally online than she does so I highly suggest you follow her on instagram.
Shop her collection HERE!
Speaking of getting personal my friend Orlando is back blogging. He has a renewed motivation since a breakup that he writes very openly about, so we all benefit by getting him back online (and he has a new apartment that he is renovating and decorating). We’ll get some of his exclusive content over here, but I wanted to make sure that you guys knew that HE’S BACK!!!
Meanwhile Erin, who I don’t think I’ve officially met, launched her lighting and textile line last year (and I’m sure she has more coming out) and it’s full of classic and timeless pieces.
Erin and I email a lot about mom/blogging/commenters and we are super supportive of each others general lives, despite never having met in person.
America’s favorite blogging couple also launched some new lighting this year. You know, John and Sherry, who threw in the blogging towel, just to fish it back out, cut it up and turn it into a quilt.
It’s simple, so pretty and really affordable. Also you should listen to their podcast. I was even on it (the one about sponsored posts. It’s #8).
So there you go. I have friends who do cool stuff, and you should know about it. I’m proud of you guys. Hopefully it all sells out! Here’s a roundup of my favorite pieces. Have an excellent weekend. I’ll be in hardcore family mode as I leave again on Tuesday for New York (and I have to be in the audience of After The Final Rose on Monday – which is an 8 hour affair … ).
TGIF and get the look!
