Our Fall 2013 Home Collections: What’s Your Entertaining Style?

Elegant yet homey.

Relaxed sophistication.

What’s your entertaining  style? Is it defined by the décor of your house? The theme of the gathering?

How about the dishes on your table? We want you to pick the pieces of our Fall 2013 Home Collections.

Like this servingware from designer Stefan Marjanovic. Clean lines and simple elegance make this set a must for fall entertaining.

The same can be said for designer Chariton Alexakis’s soup bowl. It exudes a timeless elegance, yet has a modern look and feel.

Choose Our Fall 2013 Home Collections: Homegating

What exactly is Homegating, you ask? Well, just because the team is away doesn’t mean you can’t show full support with a jersey-wearing, face-painted gathering in your own home.

Enter Homegating – the ultimate game day entertainment style!

Put the game on the flat screen, and help us help you take care of the rest of the festivities by voting for your favorite designs that will score big points at any Homegating party.

Serve your yummy snacks and drinks in the plates and glasses that make up the Lyndros Collection. The deep blue hue (perhaps a beloved team color?) and functional design make it trendy yet practical for a sports gathering.

Vote for Our Next Tabletop Designer!

Ever thought, “I wish I could be a buyer for a day?”

Well today is your day! Recently, we sent out a call for you to submit new tabletop ideas in our “Farm to Table” project, and now we want you to vote on which designs should be sold in store. The winners of this vote will show-up in store next year (April 2013.)

Here’s how it works:

  1.  You (or your friends) submitted designs (designs were due August 13, 2012)
  2.  You and other Dillard’s guests critique, curate and ultimately select the final designs
  3.  We will produce and sell the final designs, paying the winning designers an up-front earning along with royalties.

It’s important to vote early as voting closes at 11:59pm (PST) on September 3, 2012. Although you can vote on every design, your vote for each is only counted once. Let’s do this! Cast your vote here for our next tabletop designer today!
