Nate Berkus’s Magic Moment: The Interior Designer on His New Book and Target Collection

Oct 19, 2012 @ 4:29 pm

Nate Berkus is having quite a month—not only did he just release a new book, he’s also launching his collection for Target this weekend! First up, the book, a beautifully-crafted design tome that’s also part memoir, The Things That Matter ($21 at target.com). In it, he shares intimate stories from his life, introduces us to people who have influenced him, and gives us a peak inside his dreamy walk-in closet. “I never set out to tell my own story but as I worked on the book and went into people’s homes and learned about what mattered to them, and why…it only felt right to do the same,” Berkus tells InStyle.com. The book takes readers through photos of his childhood and family through to his present-day home which (spoiler alert!) is totally divine. That’s why we’re thrilled that he took his design expertise straight to Target, with his exclusive collection—think hammered copper, grommet-studded trays, and rich, vibrant color—landing in stores this Sunday. “The great thing about designing products is that I get to pull from all the things I love and find a place for them in the collection,” Berkus told us. “The end result is a line that feels layered and assembled over time, which is ultimately what our homes should feel like.” We agree! Shop the collection starting Sunday at Target and target.com, and click through the gallery for a first look at our favorite pieces from the line.

Kate Spade New York Created e-Cards for Paperless Post!

Sep 24, 2012 @ 2:58 pm

Kate Spade has gone Paperless! In addition to cute dresses and shoes, we are big fans of Spade’s stationery collection, so our inner office-supply obsessed hearts jumped a beat when we heard the New York brand collaborated with Paperless Post to create 75 e-cards and online invites. “Although I still love a hand-written note, I am trying to keep up with technology and Paperless Post is the obvious choice in this arena because they are truly the best at what they do,” Spade’s creative director Deborah Lloyd told InStyle.com. “Their digital versions of stationary feel luxe and beautiful—as close as you can get to the real thing on a computer screen.” And it’s no wonder! Designs like this smooch print were pulled straight from the brand’s paper collection. Start shopping Kate Spade’s Paperless Post collection today at paperlesspost.com.
