HELLO OCTOBER : INSPIRATION

sources: bed / living / coffee / entertain / candles / leaves / bones / kitchen 

Welcoming October with open arms, it's definitely my favorite month.  The weather cools down and the hustle of the holidays is near.  It it a good transition month and promises of much excitement ahead! I love fall color palettes and entertaining, it's a time to get a little more rustic and dark.  The first photo of the bedroom is my main inspiration for this season, I'm obsessed with that rusty color.  You should probably click the link and view that entire home tour (via because I'm addicted).  It's just beyond.  

Happy October!  I think I will finally allow myself to partake in pumpkin spice today!

INSPIRED BY

images here + more

...these neutral colors and interesting textures.  This palette inspires me so much that I dedicated a board to some creamy, natural images (link above). 

May has flown by and I haven't blogged much lately.  We've had some personal things going on that have left me a little uninspired.  Plus with traveling for work I can't seem to feel caught up.  I guess everyone goes through this once in awhile.  I'm trying to find new ways to get inspired, look beyond my normal sources of inspiration, and experiment with new techniques.  What are some ways you get your groove back when you feel it's long gone?  I'll be pinteresting hard core this weekend, finding new things and artists online, a fresh perspective, usually helps me. Be back to normal with some new works soon. xox

INSPIRED BY: CREAMY TEXTURES

images found here, along with more neutral textured inspiration

A bit of inspiration for the week.  I've been so inspired by neutrals lately.  To the point where I spent some time cleaning up my Pinterest this week and dedicating a few new boards to "natural" colors and elements.  I'm looking forward to directing these ideas into new projects sometime soon.  As for now, I'm just trying to stay up on e-mails, calligraphy, and creating a spring line of prints and cards! Exciting! 

Hope everyone is having a lovely week! Stay tuned for some new work posting soon. xox

PAINTED INSPIRATION

I am so inspired by these paintings, they are just so interesting.  I totally thought they were photos the first time I came across Amy Judd's work.  I also love that the color palette is very soft and neutral.  Amazing!

TEN & CO LOOKBOOK

I'm so inspired by these creepy cool images from the Ten & Co SS '13 lookbook.  The styling is simply amazing and there is just something so striking and clearly so unique about them.  The shoes are pretty awesome too.  

INSPIRED BY : THE ANIMAL PRINT SHOP

I have seen some of these images floating around for a while but just visited The Animal Print Shop for the first time this week.  I mean, how great are these images by Sharon Montrose!?  There is something so striking about them and obviously so unique. The photos feature all real rescue animals, she photographs most of them in their natural environment and photoshops them on the background above.  Some of the proceeds go to various animal rescue organizations.  I love how the baby animals have been sweetly styled in different nurseries including Molly Sims (as seen on their blog).  

Ta die for! xx
