Lately I have been noticing a lot of peacocks in interior design – everything from artwork to accessories! It may be a classic motif, but it certainly has made a resurgence. Take a look!

And to have that “conversation starter” – might want to sit in this peacock print chair from The Divine Chair.

While at High Point Market I had the opportunity to visit the Lexington Home Brands headquarters for an extensive tour of their 100,000 square feet of showroom space. Among the many lines Lexington carries, Henry Link Trading Co. and Tommy Bahama Home are part of their popular furniture collections. I was amazed at the vast selections and styles among all the collections, and impressed with the quality of the furnishings and fabric options.

Love this glam chair called the GretA with it’s pretty print and nailhead detail.

The Gigi Chair in a fun fabric!

Alhambra Chair from the St Tropez collection.

These Kelly Bookcases are really unique.

A pair of the Marilyn Ottomans.

Sleek in leather too.

A pair of the Pampelonne Leather Ottomans.

Also comes in fabric!

The dramatic Garland Left Arm Facing Chair.

The same chair takes on a different character in a printed fabric (& comes in a right facing version too!).

A sofa from the Lexington Upholstery collection.

Colorful chairs from the Lexington Leather collection.

The new Tommy Bahama Road to Canberra collection.

I love the Aboriginal art inspired pillow.

This dining table and room vignette evoked a mountainous resort lodge.

This dining table is inset with rope under a glass top.

The Henry Link Trading Co. collection offers an eclectic mix of furnishings inspired by a “passion for travel and discovery.”

A “Moroccan inspired” cube.

Available in a dark finish too.

Just a few weeks ago Emily blogged about Kelly Wearstler’s fabric turned fashion, as seen in the picture below.  Over a year ago, I featured a post on an announcement that Kelly would be venturing into fashion design.  And as many of you may have seen, the collection has made it’s debut launching with a Fall 2011 collection that includes clothes, jewelry, clutches, and scarves.  The collection will be sold at Bergdorf Goodman in a space designed by Kelly herself.  Prince points range from $205 to $1,395 for clothes, $155-$995 for jewelry, and $795-$995 for purses (per source).

Thanks to Kelly’s marketing team, they allowed me access to some additional images of her fashion line to download for the Material Girl’s blog.

Here’s a preview of what will soon be in available!

And check out Kelly’s recent blog post on her trip to NYC to show her collection during New York Fashion Week.

Awhile back, I came across the site for Parlor Textiles, a lovely collection of fabrics and pillows. I couldn’t recall where I found the site, but I know for sure it was via another blog. Then I received an email announcment just prior to Thanksgiving for Cyber Monday. As I was revisiting the site – I thought this is certainly something to feature here at Material Girls!  The fabrics and pillows are so pretty!

{It was this email that piqued my interest, once again.}

The Winter Floral fabric shown in marine.

I love the Indian Deco Floral, which comes in indigo, yellow, and red.

And the Simple Ikat, which also comes in terracotta.

BUT…what I really loved when browsing the site is when I came across Parlor Textile’s designer Angela Clinton’s blog; were her unique concept / inspiration boards (many people know I love inspiration boards).

Check out Debut The Blog for even more!

If you are in the Los Angeles area you may wish to attend this opening, sponsored by FORM magazine.  I am looking forward to the event!

I’ve just discovered Spoonflower and am already dreaming up a line of Material Girl’s fabrics! MG girls – are you in? Now I know where to turn to when I just can’t find the perfect color, the right pattern, or some odd request for something – that’s just not out there!
