Fashion Friday: Inspired

8 Feb

I’ve been feeling uninspired lately – and as much as I’d like to attribute it to the weather (SAD is very real, especially in the PNW) and the unreasonably uncomfortable 3 week bout of bloat I’ve been fighting (don’t ask), I won’t.  Just as despair was beginning to sink in, along came the mailman.  Enter total transformation of mind, mood and outlook (thank you mom and dad for the annual subscriptions to Elle, Women’s Health and People Style Watch).  And so the inspiration began…

I’ve come to enjoy the simpler things in life: reading a hot-off-the-press magazine, “designer” tea, white ceramic salad plates and perfectly tailored basics. Not terribly inspired, right? After recharging my batteries I came up with a few ways to inspire the everyday essentials – from my wardrobe (and yours) to the bookcase and beyond:

  • Silver – the metallic of the season
  • Pastel hues – especially mint green and blush
  • Black and white
  • Grace: A Memoir by Grace Coddington
  • Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And other concerns) by Mindy Kaling
  • Anything from teavana - I love the blueberry kona pop and monkey picked oolong 
  • Lucite details – shoes, jewels
  • Subtle floral prints
  • Jewelry inspired and mini watches
  • Vintage mirrors 
How do you get inspired?
 
Stay tuned and stay stylish.
