I am such a fan of dramatic spaces and Kelly is the Queen of dramatic spaces. I really loved her book and recently ran across her site via Abby and am so glad she pointed me in the right direction. Just opulent, dramatic spaces in the portfolio here… Amazing use of textures and color.

Rebecca of Moontree Press is over at the Design*Sponge guest blog talking about The Handmade Wedding for the next two weeks. She’s got two posts up already and both are chock full of fantastic and creative ideas. Be sure to keep reading all week. Please also be sure to check out her own blog which showcases the amazing letterpress work she does.

Melanie Carter from Lucky Paperie sent me a sweet email today to share her letterpress studio. Lovely work, great color sense and typography. I loved the variety of styles she shows. See the invitation portfolio here.

Went out shopping last weekend with the fabulous Leora and we stalked every Marc Jacobs store on Manhattan in search of sunglasses, rain boots and other such cuteness. I ended up grabbing the tote on the left… sturdy cotton canvas, roomy interior and super duper cheap at $12. Perfect size for shopping or going to the beach or as an extra bag on vacation. I also appreciated the roundabout type on the navy tote… very funny, Mr Jacobs. The similarly cute London tote is only available in the London store. These items are part of his Special Items collection which include a variety of inexpensive accessories such as plastic bangles, charm necklaces, key rings, and purse compacts.

A peek at the next GO! International line by Patrick Robinson is up now in the Press Room at Target.com. I really like this collection… it’s full of lots of great casual looks for summer. That brown swimsuit is great as are the dresses and that cute crochet tunic. The collection hits stores this May. Next up for Target? According to Radar, it’s Libertine. (via Fashionista.)

Edit Note: This collection will be available on Sunday, May 6.

Very minimal over at the Chloé show in Paris. Very simple silhouettes with a dark color palette plus some great oranges. Loved what designer Paulo Melim Andersson had to say about this new Chloé girl: “She’s angry, but funny-angry. A girl who steals from her mother. I want this to be young-young, with no tricks. Clean, but not minimal.”
