Huge love this morning for these colorfully graphic invitations designed by Erin Jang/The Indigo Bunting. If you’re anything like me, you’ll be clicking over to Flickr and hello., Erin’s blog, to see more. Lots and lots of great details: my favorite has to be the map of NYC highlighting the couple’s favorite spots (including Hearst Tower/Esquire Magazine, where they met).

Fashion designer Riordan Roache has some gorgeously simple dresses for summer right now at Papernstitch. I’m really in a pink phase of late, and this raspberry colored dress is the perfect shade for a July day. I also adore her colorblock knit dress as it looks clean, stylish + super comfy. Visit Riordan’s Papernstitch shop to see more …

Apple Store, Paris

No surprise that even the Apple store in Paris is a work of art.

(LPC’s comment below is spot on: all Apple stores are works of art. This was just different.)

Pier Gustafson

blueprint for the flag

Pier Gustafson’s work is exquisite. Based in Boston, I caught mention of his name at the website for Barbara Lynch’s newest restaurant, Menton (he did calligraphy and illustration work for her) and ended up clicking over to happily peruse his online portfolio. Two projects of note were a custom flag commissioned as a Christmas present (love that he made a blueprint to give so the recipient could have input toward the final product) as well as an invitation and accompanying rsvp card to a party celebrating an important promotion.

Are you wondering what the final flag looked like? Here it is: I just love it!

Do click over to Pier’s website and have a look. This is truly only scratching the surface. In fact, I’ll close with one more clever design:
