just some ideas!

I have put together some ideas that i love using for Xmas, buying plain white or silver bon-bons and adding fabric bows or using gorgeous gro-grain ribbons, even adding pretty paper to the centre. This Xmas i have had my family names put on to silver heart decorations as a keepsake that they can re-use every year and hopefully keep for-ever i place one on every place setting in a special box, i love beautiful vintage pieces so i decided this year that would be my theme lots of crystal, silver and white.

A white xmas

Christmas is definitely the best time of year at lily-g our store comes alive with Xmas shoppers buying pressies, decorating there tree and planning there Xmas table even buying a party dress or Xmas day out-fit!This year our decorations were stunning so much so they sold out in the first few weeks, beautiful silver and mercury decorations, mouth blown glass balls were a huge hit! i often tell my customers that if you keep the decorations silver, glass etc..by just changing the ribbon you can create a different colour scheme on your tree every year whether you use aqua and white ribbon or navy and hot pink or simply just white and silver! This year I'm doing a white colour scheme and making Xmas stockings out of left over designer fabrics like the picture above!

the other side of our newsletter

With out a doubt Ralph Lauren made Navy and White fashionable, personally in my opinion its stylish, classy and timeless and i can honestly say i never get tierd of it, so i had to feature it one more time, our ginger jars ,navy and white beach towels and deck chairs have finally arrived (at-last i'm sorry for the delay) I have been asked by so many customers if they can purchase on-line especially our interstate customers, next year we definately will provide our customers that service by logging on to our web-site you will be notified of all up-coming events happening in the new year and there are plenty!

Alana's Blog

At lily-g we not only have a blog focused on interior decorating we also will be working on a blog for all our loyal fashionista's, whilst i love wearing gorgeous clothes I'm more excited over a chair than a new dress! so because Alana is the fashion Queen this is going to be her blog and I'm focusing on the interiors! We have changed our direction in fashion focusing on fashion labels that are not mass produced, stunning jewellery and accessories!so keep a look out on our web-site www.lily-g.com.au

my new blog.........

I have stumbled over the best blogs in the late hours of the night and found the most gorgeous blogs and sites, this blogging is very addictive i must say or put simply I really need a life!!!!!! so i have decided to put my blogging to good use, so many of our customers ask us advice on what colour to paint a bedroom, how to dress a table? decorating tips etc..or simply what new pieces have arrived in store...

whats ahead...

I'm kind of glad this week has come to an end, I'm in the process of finalising all my interior work for the year to turn my focus back on to lily-g.... for those who know me i am known for taking on way too much and i never can say "no" its just not in my vocab! but today i turned down an incredible business opportunity and to be honest i hated every minute of it! two and a half years ago i started lily-g as a bit of fun and very few people thought i could survive in its location including me! but typical of me no business plan, no staff and just incredible doses of inspiration lily-g opened its doors and has never looked back! but we have out grown our space and we are now doubling in size with lots of changes and a whole new look! our fashion is moving to the front of the store and the existing fashion area will be a new Miss lily section of beautiful home wares and accessories for little girls. Our home wares will be in a much bigger new store and the mezzanine level will be our new interior section of furniture,wall-papers and fabrics. Our store will open in January for trading with our grand opening in February but ill keep you posted. I recently found this picture of a store in Denmark that i love, classic,stylish and homey....not over decorated, the style i love most!
