I have the feeling that we will be the ones stampeding over to Elizabeth McKay today for these incredibly cute patent leather elephant key chains. These are a must for the lover of Chinoiserie Chic, Palm Beach Chic, and Prepster Style. They would make a perfect stocking stuffer, baby shower gift, bridesmaid gift, or stock up now for Christmas gifts for all those tough to shop for people on your list. What color is your favorite? I love the pink, of course. As with all of of their Elephant Products, 20% of the purchase price will be donated to African Parks in hopes of curbing the Ivory trade and preserving wildlife in Africa. A worthy cause.

I wanted to share with you the fabulous Chinoiserie filled Manhattan home of Elizabeth McKay Jenkins, founder of Elizabeth McKay, and her family featured in the April 2013 issue of Matchbook Magazine as well as her very chic upper East side boutique. She is also a devoted follower of Chinoiserie Chic. Her husband Teddy says she reads Chinoiserie Chic religiously!

These spaces combine so many of my favorites - Schumacher Chiang Mai Dragon, Schumacher Nanjing, elephants galore, Quadrille, Chinoiserie wallpaper, ghost chairs, faux bamboo, monograms, fretwork, Chinoiserie toile, vintage, and lucite. The mix is Chinoiserie Chic, Palm Beach Chic, preppy, old school, modern, fun, and sophisticated.

Elizabeth loves elephants - she is currently restoring this fantastic Craigslist elephant desk that she read about in my post here for her new office space.
