Is it time for the beach yet?

Young Charlotte Geller has gotten antsy for summer and is clearly ready for the beach (or here in Indiana it's the lake!). That means one thing for the Gellers... it's time to get ready for summer!

We're modifying the use of our blog some to suggest ways in which you, our follower and fan, can live your style in addition to using Boatman Geller Collections.

Can you believe this Extra Large Land's End Canvas Tote is only $27? Neither could we! It's so big Jane will be able to fit everything in it including: towels, sandals, sunscreen, games, etc.. and still have room for a Geller Girl or two. :-) Too bad she hasn't been able to use it yet. Oh well, at least they're ready!

Make sure you enjoy the beach this summer and live your style, which has always been our intention when designing collections with our fans in mind! Now, we want to introduce you to other companies that matched our style in hopes of it matching yours.

See you in 2 weeks,

Name Our New Preppy Alligator and Win!

Within 20 minutes of posting our Too many Preppy Alligators post on March 22nd, we got a direct message from TheNortherner asking us "not to get rid of the Preppy Alligator because it was her favorite".  Soon after that, several other comments supporting TheNortherner's viewpoint came rolling in.  Now, although we can't change the fact that we had to create a new alligator, we thought it was only right to award this promotion to the first person that commented, TheNortherner.  She was awarded the chance to reveal the new preppy alligator, and we wanted to award all of you the chance to name it for a chance to win our biggest personalized Gator Prize yet!

Visit TheNortherner's Blog to find out more, and we wish you all Good Luck!

Wow, Your name is actually on it!

Now you can claim both your spot at the table and the food on your plate with our new personalized melamine plates.

The inspiration behind creating these personalizied plates was to eliminate any opportunity to say, "Well... I don't see your name on it," because now it is! Also, we wanted to stick with our mission of delivering functional collections that allow anyone, even children, to live their style.

Pictured here is our selective focus group, the Geller's, who confirmed a resounding appreciation for the plates and the fun they bring to an otherwise mundane activity.

These 10" plates are available in 30 standard designs and almost limitless custom choices allowing you to create your own unique place settings. These plates are a great way to bring each family member's style to your table or a thoughtful gift for just about anyone on your birthday and holiday shopping lists.

These plates can personalized and ordered online from the comofort of your own home.

Too many preppy alligators

Sadly, the Boatman Geller preppy alligator has raised some eyebrows with LaCoste and has been deemed to be somewhat confusing when comparing it to the LaCoste icon. Today, we're honoring the retirement of a well noted figure in the Boatman Geller Collections , the preppy alligator. The gracious people at LaCoste have allowed us to run through of our existing inventory (rather than trash it), which gives our preppy alligator one more solid run at immortality. All preppy alligator fans, this will be your last opportunity to purchase any of our alligator collections with this image on it which can be found here: http://boatmangeller.com/products/list.html?criteria=alligator, so act fast while supplies last.

Now, after I became aware of this disheartening news, I spoke directly with Jane, the creator of the once infamous, now famous "preppy alligator" about her opinion. "I was looking to

express preppy... and having lived during the first alligator-is-synonymous-with-preppy phase

[see picture of Jane, right, from 1985], I was not following any trend by putting alligators on paper, but merely expressing my classic preppy style in a fun, Boatman Geller way," said Jane.

In closing, I'd like our readers to take a moment and remember the preppy alligator and all the good times he has brought us. Hopefully, our new alligator (to debut soon) will live up to these high standards.
