Feelin' Moody, But Not "Board"

Sorry, the title is terrible, but I love puns. Anyway, I have a list of things to do longer than Rapunzel's hair, but instead of being productive, cleaning and going to the gym, I have been creating moodboards on Anthro's wedding site, BHLDN. I love moodboards (I did a post on my style moodboards here) so I was immediately sucked into making not one, but two! Add to this that my bartender-in-training little brother is in the kitchen perfecting his bloody mary recipe and you know that there will be absolutely nothing accomplished today ;)

Instead of dwelling on that, dwell on my moodboards:

Bright, Fresh Details:

A Glitzy Affair:

As you can see, it's been a fun morning and I have a feeling I will be making more soon :)
Click on either moodboard to link you to the BHLDN site and check out their super easy set-up for templates and uploading images. And let me know if you make a moodboard of your own!

Inspiration Wall

On the wall next to my closet is a large-scale collage that I have nicknamed my Inspiration Wall. It is pretty dorky, but I love it. I have 12" squares of corkboard mounted on the wall in two rows. When I find and item or a look in a magazine that I love (which is quite often, as mentioned here) I cut it out and tack it up. The wall is always changing and pictures come down almost as often as other pictures go up, but some items have been up there for a LONG time. (For example, the several pictures of the PS1 bag that I love even though I am adamant about not liking "It" bags). I have it somewhat organized by category- purses, jewelry, dresses, formal dresses, pants, ensembles, coats, etc- but for the most part I enjoy the messy collage of my favorite things.

The whole collection- a mess of pretty things!


Close-up of dresses and formal dresses (my love of draping evident in the loads of Lanvin and the Ports 1961 bits!)


Might be my fav category- purses! The PS1, lots of Alexander Wang, and big, slouchy bags.

Where does your inspiration come from? Do you display it to enjoy every day?
