Weekend Inspiration

The forecast predicts rain all weekend, but I have gathered visual inspiration to (hopefully) prevent cabin fever. I will keep in mind all the following colors and patterns and hope they inspire a creative endeavor or two while I am stuck indoors. Check them out:

Brazilian floor mats colored with all-natural vegetable dyes. Simple colors and patterns, but still visually appealing. I love the middle one the best!

 I love the embellishment of her blouse/necklace/who knows what. Tonal but lavish and it looks like she just threw it on yet is decidedly glamorous.

This lady is rocking the Thakoon for NARS nail collection that doesn't debut until May 1st. There is enough bright, cheery color to keep the rainy day blues at bay a few times over! (official page here).

The girls from WERELSE did a collection for Mango and I love this boldly-colored scarf printed with an octopus design. I wish the website had a picture of the whole scarf, though?!

 
Rain will not prevent me from going to the flea market as I am on a serious hunt for a bar cart and decanters/related accessories! Hopefully I will have some DIY projects or some awesome vintage scores to report next week. Have a great weekend!

Back on the Chain Gang!

I have been wanting to make a new necklace for some time, but haven't been a fan of anything I have whipped up lately. In need of inspiration, I did a little searching and a little pinning (it's an addiction I fully admit to having) and found some great chain necklaces that I would love to DIY. Some aren't feasible projects for an amateur like me, but maybe they'll inspire me to up my game!

1. Lizzie Fortunato Jewels Cosmic View Necklace
2. Dannijo Galapagos Necklace
3. Maison Martin Margiela Twisted Necklace
4. Rachel Leigh Jewelry Estates Soiree Necklace

This isn't a DIY piece, but I loved the color and statement that this Tory Burch Resin Chain necklace makes:

 What have you been inspired to make lately? And where do you look for inspiration?
