CALL OF THE WILD
I can't even handle the new Free People's Call of the Wild June 2011 catalog. My jaw literally dropped when I saw these images. They're so freaking styled and sexy. I love the crazy, tangled hair adorned with baubles and feathers. (There's a how-to video if you're feeling daring.) Here's to a summer full of tribal print, crocheted frocks, beads and feathers!

CRAFT LAB : FELT LAMP SHADE
Finding a great lamp shade can be tricky. I'm always drawn to the embellished ones with lots of texture and interest, but they are usually not in my budget. Then there is the whole size and shape factor. I may stumble across a shade at the thrift store that is the perfect fit but it's an awful shade of pink or the fabric is tattered.
I started doing some research about revamping old shades and what materials work best, and I discovered the countless options and designs that can be created with felt! It is an inexpensive material with a great deal of structure and visual interest. I absolutely loved this shade featured on design*sponge. It is such a cute and clever way to spice up an old lamp.
So if you're looking for something crafty to do this Saturday and you have a shade that needs a makeover, sign up for the Ruched Felt Lamp Shade Craft Lab. You can find out more information and view the class calendar here.

BIG RED
I have been a loyal reader of Bazaar and Elle for as long as I can remember. I recently decided to expand my fashion subscriptions and added W and Vogue to my collection. The April Issue of Vogue was waiting on my doorstep when I arrived home from work yesterday. Eager to see what fashion inspiration it had to offer, I hurried inside to start my first flip through. I have always been one to peruse first just to look at photographs and then go back a second time to read articles. I was quickly struck by an image of Daria Werbowy in one of my favorite Lanvin dresses from the Spring 2011 Ready-to-Wear Collection. This is an absolutely amazing dress, but when you throw it on a gorgeous model and have some stellar photographers capture this work of art at it's full potential, it's seriously breathtaking. I mean, come on!

These are some other fabulous maxis from the Lanvin Spring 2011 Collection. I love how whimsical and feminine they all are. You can view the full collection here.

CRAFT LABS
I have been hard at work revamping and brainstorming for new Korora Studio classes. I have been collaborating with some great minds and am really pumped for what's in store. We will still be offereing all of our regular classes but have added a new section called Craft Labs. These classes do not require any machine sewing and are all $20!
To launch this new phase of Korora Studio, we will be having an open house in the near future. You will get to browse the studio and get a preview of the projects for May and June classes. The most exciting thing is you get $5 OFF your first class by signing up at the event! Yay for discounts! I will definitely be posting more info closer to the date. Until then, send me your crafting wishes! What do you guys want to make? What skills do you want to learn? Throw them at me and I'll do my best to make it happen.

TIBI
Amy Smilovic, designer of Tibi, has an impeccable ability to create pieces that exude an effortless sophistication. Her path to fashion designer is just as inspiring as her creations. She dabbled in design on the side as she was finishing school, but it wasn't until a few years of being in the business world that she actually pursued fashion as a career. Now, look at her! I love seeing people work their way to the top based purely on a passion to do what you love. Definitely feeling inspired on this drab Monday!
