Gone to Carolina

Posted on April 26, 2013

Sensing a gap in the market for USA-made goods at reasonable price points, the four gents behind Lumina set up shop in North Carolina in 2009 with a mission to source their clothing from American mills and manufacturers. As we at N&P love homegrown brands, Lumina was kind enough to send over this shirt and tie to style. A layered look like this one is great for a spring day like today–a sweater for the chilly morning that you can lose once the temps rise. If you find yourself in Raleigh, North Carolina–as Van will for UNC Chapel Hill’s graduation in May–be sure to stop by Lumina’s store and studio at 123 E. Martin Street.

Pink Gators

A few months back, Lilly Pulitzer invited us to the opening of their gorgeous new store in Tysons Galleria, which featured handpainted decor by Lilly’s talented print designers and fun Palm Beach-themed fitting rooms (check them out on our Instagram feed). Van picked out this green gator-print bow tie, which would look right at home at Easter brunch this weekend.

Backyard Safari

DSC_5604islandco2While we were in Palm Beach, Island Company invited us to explore their expanded digs on Worth Avenue and check out some pieces from their spring line. Van picked up this linen pilot shirt–the raspberry hue and the sleeve detail livens up this simple summer look.

Chubbies Rock

Posted on March 18, 2013

We’re big fans of Chubbies, the super-soft stonewashed short shorts whose supporters spread the word about “thigh liberation” with the motto “Sky’s out, thighs out.” Available in a rainbow of vibrant brights and faded pastels, these are shorts you’ll want to live in all summer long. Chubbies was kind enough to send us a few to try–we picked the classic Palm Beach color combo of pink & green for our spring break trip to Florida. Grab a pair of your own and banish baggy cargo shorts for good.

Jungle Road

Go-to-hell pants AND a go-to-hell blazer? Unadvisable, unless you’re in the pastel-and-print-happy playland of Palm Beach, Florida. The blazer was a serious find ($50) back when Ralph’s outlets used to be chock-full of the good stuff, and the pants are a thrifted 70s era Lilly pair that were slimmed down at the tailor.

DSC_5286DSC_5209 DSC_5272Navy blue and cuoio leather is a favorite color combination of mine. The palette pairs well with this old-school canvas and leather Coach suitcase, which has been my favorite piece so far this spring.

Coach lent us some spring samples & we have had a blast playing with the vibrant colors. This coral trench blends well with its all-American pairings: a blue striped shirt & star print jeans.
