If you take a peek at the "mood" page of my site you'll see that the last mood board I posted was, hmmm let's see here...May. MAY??? sh*t
I know it's been a while, but as promised I am posting more regularly with the new site, so I will be creating mood boards for your viewing pleasure on a monthly basis, and not just when I feel like it.
I don't really know where my summer went. One day, it was June 7th and I was finishing my last final exam of the Spring Semester. The following week, I was starting a summer class. As of today, I only have a couple short weeks of school-free days before it's back to the books.
With a summer class and my part time jobs, I wasn't able to take that summer vacation to Mykonos, or that cross-country road trip some others had the ability to take. The furthest I traveled was to the west side (of Los Angeles). This mood board pretty much represents what I *wish* my August looked like - white one-pieces on the beach, with a breezy white button up as a cover up. Vintage finds (you can never have enough levi's) at a Sunday flea market. A two-week cozy beach town stay in a beautiful hotel complete with drool-worthy furniture and an indoor garden.
MAY MOOD BOARD
Yes, I realize that it's already halfway through May.
Is it too late to give you some monthly inspo?
After a lull in creative inspiration (I've been saying this for months), I'm feeling a second wind. With summer on the horizon (I have three weeks of school left), I feel more determined than ever to get back into blogging and Instagramming with full force.
I hope I can emulate some of these awesome sources of inspo in the process.
Bring on the pins, architectural tours of awesome homes around LA, random art projects and unique jewelry.
NYFW FALL RTW: florals
Another belated NYFW post...I think this is my last one, even though I gathered so many clippings of NYFW trends I wanted to collage/talk about.
*sigh*
You'll just have to look out for PFW posts instead. At least PFW was more recent, and posting about it would be less belated than posting about NYFW.
Remember that line in "The Devil Wears Prada?" : "Florals? For Spring? Groundbreaking."*
Well, guess what? These florals, both printed and live, were featured on strappy heels, gauzy dresses, furry coats and whimsical crowns - all for FALL. So guess what, Miranda (Priestly). Florals. For Fall. Groundbreaking.
MARCH MOOD BOARD
GUYS, I'm slacking. I'm sorry. It's the middle of the month and I'm just now posting a March mood board.
Month 3 vibes:
-slouchy/menswear-inspired silhouettes
-getaways (take a weekend to road trip somewhere! Do it in the name of mental spring cleaning)
-skincare skincare skincare (Summer is almost here for us in the Northern Hemisphere - let's prep our skin for those harsh rays of sun and make sure we keep our faces fresh and protected)
FEBRUARY MOOD BOARD
February - the month that has Valentine's Day in it. Yep. The month I've always spent accepting the fact that I'm alone and will spend the 14th like any other day, while other adorable couples go on cute dates and do whatever else cute couples do.
But you know what? Fuck it. A lot of the time, Valentine's Day is basically a day that makes every single person feel bad. Apparently some people even throw anti-Valentine's Day parties?
Valentine's Day is about love. While many of us hope to find that one person with whom we can completely be ourselves, it's also okay to be single. So let's spend Valentine's Day loving ourselves instead of feeling bad about the fact that we aren't cuddled up on the couch with a significant other, watching some rom com with a freshly-gifted bouquet of roses on the counter and a box of artisan chocolates in our laps. Who says you need someone else to do all of those things?
Treat yo self.
Buy yourself a bouquet of flowers. Seriously, it's amazing what some fresh blooms can do to brighten up your day. Go to your favorite cupcake shop and buy that red velvet cupcake you've been denying yourself in the name of New Years resolutions. Put on your favorite movie and buy yourself some lingere that makes you feel sexy. Order takeout from your favorite restaurant. Postmates is a beautiful thing, my friends.
Love yourself.
