If you haven't picked up this week's issue of Creative Loafing — what are you waiting for?

Yes! Finally! Creative Loafing is covering shopping, fashion, home decor and more on a weekly basis — in print!

It's been a long time coming, but finally, ladies, here's a section you'll want to immediately flip to each week when you pick up the paper.

This week's issue features a story highlighting three local designers who are making big splashes in the worlds of jewelry, interior design and fashion: Laura James of Laura James Jewelry; Emily Clark of Emily A. Clark Interiors; and Tara Davis, with Flow By Tara Davis. Read it here.

Next up, we've launched a new Style Stalker column, where our writers seek out the stylish in the crowds of Charlotte. Davita Dalloway (pictured on the cover) was spotted at Amelie's, and she gives us a play-by-play of her outfit. Read it here.

We've also started another new column, focusing on home decor, called Creative Living. In this weekly space, we'll interview people around Charlotte who have really taken an interest in their home decor, whether it be funky and fresh or traditional and DIY. I interview my good friend Chad McClure, whose love of one-of-a-kind items provoked him to commission a piece of work by local artist Kelly Keith. See the photo of a man's tors0 — the painting, not the guy — here.

And finally, we've transitioned some of what we do here on Klepto, this fabulous blog you're currently reading, to print, with the addition of highlighting an "Item of the Week." Laura James so thoughtfully allowed us to show off one of her leather-wrap charm bracelets, perfect for summertime. Check it out here.

If you can't tell, I'm pretty excited about our new weekly section. So of course, if you have any questions, comments or ideas you'd like to share — or know of someone with the perfect living space to feature in Creative Living – drop me a line at kimberly.lawson@creativeloafing.com.
