Summertime and The Livin’s Easy: Laura’s Must-Haves

23 Jul 2012

In the midst of summer, P3R continues to share our essentials for enjoying the season!

Who: Laura, Junior Publicist: Lifestyle Department

 Summertime Essentials:

Summer is my favorite season! With the windows always open and the warm breeze flowing in, what’s not to love?! I always strive to have fresh flowers around my apartment- they make me happy just looking at them!  Having the best blooms in your home can get expensive, but Dandelion Ranch picks superior quality stems so they last longer than the ones you get at the grocery store.

On the weekends I generally head to the beach. I accessorize with Tinsley Transfers because they provide a vast array of options. I love the look of tattoos, but don’t want to make any permanent decisions just yet.  This tribal design is one of my summertime favorites.  Since one of my favorite water activities is stand up paddle boarding, spicing up a plain bathing suit is always a great idea!

In my opinion, lemonade is the perfect beverage for those warm, lazy days.  The first time I went to Lemonade (the café located on Beverly Blvd) I felt compelled to order the drink because of the name.. and I’m so happy I did!  Try the blood orange or blueberry mint flavors- so unique and refreshing!

What is your favorite summer drink?

Party Like It’s 1922: Great Gatsby

23 May 2012

10 Comments

Released last night was the much-anticipated Great Gatsby trailer, a recount of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s 1925 jazz era novel. Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan and Joel Edgerton, Baz Luhrmann’s film showcases the glitz and glam of the 1920s!

Jay Gatsby, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, is notorious for throwing his extravagant Saturday night parties in his gothic-style mansion. After watching this trailer, we couldn’t fight the urge to plan one too.

This table arrangement adds a level of class and sophistication to any party. With chandeliers and flower arrangements such as this from Dandelion Ranch, boutique florist in Los Angeles, you could be having parties as great as Gatsby’s in no time!

How would you decorate your next party?

A Natural Inspiration

17 May 2012

1 Comment

Clover Chadwick, LA’s hottest florist and owner of Dandelion Ranch, has created magnificent floral designs for some of Los Angeles’ top restaurants and events.  Growing up in the desert she matured her creativity taking from her limited resources. Akin to how Clover has taken inspiration from her environment and utilized the flowers’ natural movement, we saw a muse in this arrangement.

It has a striking resemblance to the jaw-dropping FERI Diana Ring.  This sterling silver ring with AAA white cubic zirconia is not only the perfect ring, but the perfect gift. Why not pair the two together? We might just treat ourselves a little early this year.

What daring things have you been inspired to do?

P3R Grows With Dandelion Ranch

23 Apr 2012

0 Comment

P3R welcomes Dandelion Ranch! Clover Chadwick, owner and principle designer, can completely transform any space with her seasonal and sustainable designs, which start with local growers.

Within a moment of seeing a Dandelion Ranch arrangement, you can tell that it wasn’t created by an ordinary flower shop.  Their arrangements are not just plopped into boring glass vases, but carefully composed in vintage or modern opaque containers, which they consider to be as important as the blooms themselves!  All of their arrangements are unique and truly remarkable.

Dandelion Ranch‘s philosophy is that they are committed to doing as much as they can to help our planet remain a safe, healthy, and beautiful haven.  Apparently it is customary for florists to use a floral foam that is non-biodegradable and that has been found to cause harm to the environment (as well as to the people who handle it.) Dandelion Ranch uses a completely safe, earth-friendly alternative made from natural ingredients.

How often do you buy flowers for your home?
