I can definitely get behind a spring trend of pretty pink dresses, like these two from Behnaz Sarapour and Victoria Beckham.

I’m quite fond of Derek Lam’s spring collection for its use of color (above) and print (below). See the full show at Style.com.

Denise Ann Holmes

my current favorite drawing

Former Chicagoan Denise Ann Holmes has had a busy summer. Not only did she move to New Orleans (obviously she’s thinking ahead to winter!), but she’s also been quite the busy bee online. Denise launched a wonderful custom invitations shop, Nisee Made, a blog or two or three, and a personal portfolio site. As I completely adore her line drawings (check out this peacock I stumbled across earlier this summer at The Shiny Squirrel), I couldn’t be happier for her. Yay, Denise! Keep it coming! I’ll be thinking of you when the snow starts to fall ….

I found the VPL show very interesting. Love the dress above, and I’m curious to see how/if the sheer look pictured below changes for retail. Click over to Style.com to see it all.
