Flowers don’t always have to go in vases. Hardy blossoms like roses and mums are just fine hanging out sans water for several hours. Make sure you give them plenty to drink before arranging, and keep them out of the sun and heat for the longest lasting results.

Savannah’s Beer Growler is quickly
becoming one of our favorite places.
They sell the 32 oz. and 64 oz. Growler
bottles for $4.99 each, and you have
your choice of 40 taps pouring craft
beers, ciders, and sodas. All the
beverages are priced separately, you
simply pick what you want, they fill
your bottle, seal it, and send you on
your way. If you can’t decide what
you would like to take home, they
have the cutest little taster glasses.
Try it for yourself at the corner of
Drayton and Liberty Streets.

Home, Dear Home
Each issue, we hope to share an actual
home with our readers that stands out
for its great design, meticulous renovation,
or just because we love it!
Our first home belongs to Tim Burt, the
owner of a fabulous decor boutique in
Savannah’s Downtown Design District.
d.luxe has unique pieces from all over the
world to add to your home. He invited
us into his newly renovated historic
apartment where we were greeted with
the original heart pine floors, eclectic
accessories, and a velvety Sphinx named
Lord Horace.
An oversized Carrera marble island
provides an ideal gathering space in the
open kitchen and living room. Historic
windows open onto the outdoor terrace,
and vintage books abound.

What sort of services or product does your business offer? We offer women’s clothing, eco-friendly, and fashion forward, unique with a great backstory, as well as shoes and accessories. Many of our accessories are made domestically from California to Texas, and locally.
What is your favorite part about Custard? Dressing women and styling!
What are your top 3 favorite things to do in your free time? eat, shop, and kayak
What’s in your purse/toolbox that you couldn’t live without? my wallet.. for obvious reasons
The Phoenix ring by Alkamie is hand cast in California by a husband and wife team. Made from recycled materials, this ring (and the others by them) are eco-friendly! The Phoenix wings spread across your hand in an elegant way, but can also be worn on one of our ADA belts as a faux belt buckle.
24
The puzzle pieces are an updated version of the widely known friendship necklaces. Made from brass by Monserat de Lucca, the necklaces fit perfectly together reading “Me” on one, and “You” on the other. Perfect for best friends, sisters, significant others, etc. They make great gifts!
Tara carefully curates every item in Custard Boutique. “Most of them have an
amazing backstory. Everything at Custard has purpose.” That said we couldn’t
help but get the story behind two of our favorite jewelry pieces..
What do you most fear and/or dislike? in a perfect world when I wouldn’t have to worry about real world issues such as starving children and tainted water... I would say- spilling something on my all white blouse at an event when I can not change... haha
What living person do you most admire? deep question- someone fearless! I love people who are able to be themselves
What’s your spirit animal and why? my dog Manchester- for further explanation, you will just have to meet him
Greatest achievement... this store!!!
How do you find inspiration? everything around me... magazines, blogs, other people, music, movies... you name it. I am always taking in everything I see, eat and do!
What brought you about doing what you do? How/why did you start your business? I have always loved helping women look and feel as beautiful as I think they are. I love being able to help someone make simple changes that go a long way, and that is truly the reason I got started in the industry... (i.e. I love make-overs....) I was a buyer for an indie store in the town where I am from, and I used that experience and my personal eye to build a business for myself here in the lovely Savannah.
What is your greatest extravagance? shoes

Start with the perfect utensils like these mint, powder coated, vintage ones from Rethink.
Spray paint a hearty leaf, like a magnolia, and dip the tip in glitter for the place cards. Add
some cozy velvet ribbon to embellish rustic linen napkins. Try vintage for the best colors.
Find a loose knit sweater at a thrift store, or an old one from your closet and cut it into a
table runner. The knit will unravel, so if you want to reuse it next fall, sewing will be involved.

Let’s party
The arrival of fall fashion is a perfect
reason to throw a party. Invite the girls
over in their latest fall finds, have a few
of the latest fashion magazines to peruse
for must haves and must nots. Offer a
selection of cheeses and chocolates with
an autumnal soup. For the beverage,
an acai concoction. Might as well enjoy
some antioxidants while you’re enjoying
yourselves.

Create a simple garland by collecting magnolia
leaves. Spray paint them in your color palette,
and dip the tips in glitter for extra fun. Wire
two to three leave together, then wrap the wire
around a rope or ribbon. Work from the ends
to the middle to ensure both ends have leaves
pointing outward. When you are done, fill in any
blank spaces with additional leaves and some
glue. (hot glue works best)
This garland also looks great on fireplace mantels,
banister railings or around a doorway. Start with
a wire wreath frame to make a wreath.
Curried Carrot Soup // Martha Stewart2 tablespoon. Butter1 cup chopped onion1 teaspoon curry powder3 1/2 cups of reduced-sodium broth2 pounds carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubesFresh lemon juice from one lemonPurple basil to garnish
-Heat butter, add onion, curry, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft.-Add broth, carrots, and 3 cups of water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes.-Puree in a blender in batches until smooth. Transfer to a clean saucepan. Add more water to thin to desired consistency. Stir in lemon juice.

Let’s eat
When presenting a cheese plate at a party, be
sure to offer a variety of hard and soft, strong
and mild cheeses. Fine cheese counters will often
let you taste a new variety before purchasing.
Whatever you choose, make sure the appropriate
serving and cutting utensils are handy.
Cheese pairs well with honeycomb and figs.
Crostinis or crackers are always welcome, and a
nice dry salami adds a salty element.
Host a cheese tasting party where everyone
brings their favorite, or one they’ve wanted to try.
Beautiful chocolates are welcome at any table.
These artisan truffles were made by Savannah’s
Adam Turoni. Our selection includes: Georgia
Peach Truffles made with peach preserves, liquor,
white chocolate and pecans. Habanero Caramel
Truffles topped with sea salt. Roasted Fig and
Cognac Truffles dusted with cocoa.
When choosing chocolates, the higher cocoa
content the better. It offers a richer flavor, and
is not as sweet as their milky counterparts.
Although at the end of the day, it’s chocolate, and
all answers are correct!

While the cool breeze is starting to roll in a smile shouldn’t be the only thing we are adding to our face! Even with a slight change in the weather, our skin can begin to shift. Try using a heavier moisturizer before winter itch hits.
Now that you have your summer glow, don’t cover it up with too much makeup. Transitioning into a lighter skin tone can be easy with at home airbrushing. Products including oil free foundation, blush, highlighter, bronzer, and even a self-tanner can provide a sheer to heavy coverage depending on your needs. Cover trouble areas and let your beauty shine through! TEMPTU at home systems are the best on the market with easy to use products and virtually no mess.
One hot trend this fall is gold! Using a simple wash of gold on the lid can provide a lot of impact in little time. You can easily go from day to night with a adding a small flick to your eyeliner for a cat eye or adding a touch of blue liner below. Make Up For Ever’s Aqua Cream in #12 is a favorite of Team Dollface!
Red lips are always in fashion but finding the right shade is typically the hard and sometimes intimidating part. The key for first timers is to pick a color that has a berry or blue undertone. These reds are rich and universally flattering. I recommend starting with a stain and moving up the intensity based on your comfort level. You can create your own stain easily but putting on your chosen red first in your makeup application, then wiping it off at the end. You will be left with a beautiful, easy to wear color without having to buy two products. Any lipstick you like will work well!

I recommend Embryolisse with is wonderful for all skin types and is also a 3-in-1 product serving as a moisturizer, primer, and makeup remover. Also make sure to exfoliate a minimum of 3x per week.

Upon entering Rethink Design Studio, we were struck by two things. 1> This space is
perfectly appointed and we can only hope our homes look like this one day. And 2> Amidst
the volumes of decorating and lifestyle magazines, is a stocked mini bar with a fabulous
vintage pitcher. We didn’t want to leave. Every floor of the home and office had so much to
see and inspire. The talented husband and wife duo, Joel & Erica Snayd, design residential
and commercial spaces all over Savannah, and then some. When the perfect lighting fixture
or detail can’t be found, they make it. In addition to interiors, they also plan, design, and
execute events like Savannah Magazine’s Best of Savannah Party this September. With such
warm and welcoming hosts, we were happy to stay for a drink, and oooohhh and aaahhhh.. Form + Function = Perfection

Sleeping in this third floor loft style bedroom would definitely make mornings easier.
The oversized skylight over the stairs and ample windows wash the room in light.
The natural wooden floors and white walls are punctuated by chartreusey greens
and cool aquas. The family pup feels right at home in many rooms of the home and
office with fireplace dog beds. Have you seen a cooler bassinet? It’s a perfect meld
of form, function, and whimsy.

Why we love this bathroom:
chevron marble
lots of counter space
attractive containers for unattractive necessities
colorful covered baskets for trash and dirty clothes
a chandelier
giant shower
reclaimed barn doors

Handy Household Tip - Attach loops of twill tape to your bath towels. The loop allows them to hang easily over a hook. By not being folded over a towel bar, drying time is shortened, and all while adding color to your space.

For this issue’s fabulous kid’s room, we stayed at Rethink, where Joel & Erika created a cheery
space for their son, Rye, inspired by the bear painting in the upper right image. This room
has lots of kid friendly elements, yet an adult feels completely comfortable in the space. When
designing a nursery, be careful about making it too baby. By selecting furniture and art pieces
that can grow with your child, not only will you save money in the long run, but it makes for
a visually appealing space for the kid in everyone.

Industrial conduit pieces attach to the
side of the armoire to hold several totes.
An idea that is inexpensive, functional,
and chic. It is also easily translated into
any space: aprons in a kitchen, purses in
the closet, hoses in a garden shed. Be
sure you select the appropriate hardware
and anchors for your substrate and
potential weight load.

Vintage suitcases decorate the top of the armoire.
Inside houses the TV, extra linens for the daybed
and other essentials for the baby and house guests.
The fabric animal trophy adds a touch of whimsy.

pieces. // Above right: Instead of purchasing a nursery specific dresser, they found a great
vintage buffet. The built in silverware organizers are perfect for sorting important baby bits.
When he gets older, the piece will still be practical. // Bottom right: A daybed waits for guests,
and serves as a couch in the meantime. Sock puppets guard the four posters. Fun fact: this
bed was made out of two footboards thrifted at a yard sale.
