On Mother’s Day we not only celebrate Mom, but we are reminded of all the ways she has influenced us.

For Heath and Landon, mom Marsha Slane has long inspired their designs for SLANE. As Coco Chanel did, Mrs. Slane loves bold jewelry and mixing texture and silhouettes, in both silver and gold.

And their father’s mother, Meredith (Mere Mere as she was called) was an even deeper influence.Their worldly and stylish grandmother was the epitome of restrained elegance with a few grand flourishes or splashes of color.

The apple does not fall far from the tree. Landon’s daughter Lola, pictured here, already [...]

Inspired by: Turquoise

At SLANE, our love for turquoise is deep-rooted, and the history of the stone itself is long and storied. Persians believed turquoise represented the heavens because of its beautiful blue color, and a host of ancient peoples include the stone in their history, spirituality, and supernatural beliefs.

The southwestern United States is a significant source of turquoise and plays an important role in its history. In the 19th Century, Navajos began working with silver and constructed the most popular settings known today. The methods and materials stood the test of time, just take a look at our collection.

For me, living in [...]

Traditions play a huge part in my family life and in my design work. I love Easter because it’s full of traditions both universal and personal. And seriously, who doesn’t love chicks, lambs, spring flowers, and a mythical bunny who delivers candy? Check out these festive vintage cards I found:

We have two family traditions and now that Lola is 4 she appreciates them more.

One is to make our own Easter hats and go down to the parade in Sag Harbor and

Spring Break

Now that I have a little one in school it’s necessary that we plan our vacations around her schedule. This winter has been packed – between design sessions, trade shows and keeping up with my preschooler – spring break could not have come at a better time! My husband, daughter and I spent the week at a friend’s home in Whistler, British Columbia. We were both avid skiers growing up and could not refuse the opportunity to visit such an incredible place.

I love ski vacations because there is so much to do – Ice skating, snow shoeing, sipping [...]
