good morning! i’ve got a serious case of the mondays today so i’m going to try to pull myself out of this rainy day funk with some lovely new artwork from brooklyn-based artist wayne pate. wayne’s new paris print is now available for $35 right here and considering that d*s editor anne is now living the sweet (graduate school) life in paris i couldn’t think of a better way to start the day.

i also wanted to take a moment to welcome caroline rogers of looks good to me to the d*s guest blog! i’m a big fan of caroline’s blog and have always loved the way she integrates original watercolor illustrations into each post, so i’m thrilled to have her voice- and watercolors- on the d*s guest blog today. caroline will be writing about the intersection between fashion and home design worlds these two worlds- click here to check out her first post on handkerchief art.
