WOW, am I ever excited for the big reveal! We've created 6 new prints and have a boatload of A M A Z I N G photography thanks to our good friend Patrick Cline ;) We're also working on our very first lookbook, which we're hoping to launch next week so stay tuned, as well as a line of bedding which is currently in production (wahoo!) and scheduled to debut in winter 2009. In the meantime, please enjoy a few sneak peeks and inspiration stories from our latest collection.

Unlike our spring photography, this collection was shot entirely in New York City in some of our favorite hangout spots! I like to go running in Central Park every morning, so most of these shots were conceptualized along the way.

Our insanely beautiful model is actually my good friend Mandi Tumblison, who I've known since middle school. We were on the same field hockey team, and even took our very first interior design class together! Mandi's look is absolutely timeless, and my hope is that she will be discovered by an agency (hint, hint;) We were rather worried our crew was going to fall in the water here, as we had some heavy equipment on the boat and not the most talented rower... (ME!) It was also blazing hot that day, and I made poor Mandi row around in a trench coat! Good times.

This is one of my new prints called Indian Lake, and it was actually drawn by my little sister Megan while we were flying back from Italy this summer! She drew it on hour 5 of our looong flight, and I immediately loved how sketchy it was and knew it had to be thrown into a half drop print! Megan is ridiculously talented (she also designed my 'Megan' pineapple print!) and I hope to be lucky enough to hire her when she graduates :) The name 'Indian Lake' comes from our family's summer getaway spot in Michigan where my grandparents own a small cottage and a boat :)

Another favorite spot in the city is the Union Square farmers market! Autumn is the best time to visit because as you can see, it's full of the richest colors and tastiest treats. It's nearly impossible to get off the subway and not pick something up along the way.

(Like really Patrick? You're amazing!)

How cool is this! We didn't do any styling here- I just saw it and screamed "SIT!" and voila :)

Finally we have one of my favorite prints ever! Those of you who frequent my blog probably know that I have a slight obsession with leopard prints, and a theory that they can be paired with anything. So I decided that such a classic print should be given a classic name, like Jackie. Mrs. Kennedy was also a fan of leopard, as seen in her White House dressing room below.

Be sure to check out the Rubie Green site to see all of our new prints, and I'll let you all know when the lookbook is completed! I'll also be posting more inspiration stories so you know where the designs came from, but for now it's time for bed. :)
