Hello Friends,
Tonight, as the first decent snowfall blankets Connecticut, I thought it would be the perfect time to pause, relax, and connect with all of you.
For those of you who don’t know, before launching Piper and Dune®, I spent my first career in corporate marketing as a Product Leader. It’s a role that instilled in me a passion for spotting trends and staying ahead of the curve. Therefore, as we settle into the new year, I’ve been diving into the latest fashion, color, and decor trends while thoughtfully restocking the store.
I’ll admit, I’m not shy about saying “oh, I don’t like that trend” when something doesn’t resonate with me (lol). But overall, I think 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting year for design lovers! Bright pops of color are making their way into fashion and home decor, and they pair beautifully with classic styles and sustainable materials. I think the result is a joyful, curated blend that feels fresh yet timeless.
Amanda and I just returned from AmericasMart in Atlanta, GA. Over the course of a few days, we explored more than 16 miles of showroom floors across three skyscrapers, meeting hundreds of vendors to bring you the most unique and exciting finds for Piper and Dune®. It’s always such a thrill to discover pieces that we know will inspire you and make you smile.
As we embrace 2025, it’s the perfect time to add some vibrancy to your daily life. Whether it’s a bold accessory for your wardrobe, a statement piece of jewelry, or a playful touch on your tabletop, there are so many ways to mix the old with the new and bring these fun trends into your world.
