Pin it Yourself

Everyone knows, for a while now, Pinterest (the app) has been the hot place to gather inspiration and get new ideas, but for me (as much as I adore Pinterest!) I need a little something more to get the inspiration flowing. Which is why one of my favorite things ever, is creating Inspiration boards. Pinning at home is an absolutely amazing way to keep the creative juices flowing without having to get on the computer. I mean what could be more awesome than a real life pin board? So I encourage you to... 
1. Gather a giant cork board, an over sized frame, or even a wall. 
2. Find things that inspire you from newspapers, magazines, cookbooks, and pictures. 
3. Add 3D items, such as jewelry, feathers, ribbons, etc.
4. And finally Marvel, in the beauty and the awesomeness that inspires you :)

Take a gander at some masterpieces.

ICONATOMY by George Chamoun // A Journey Through Time

     As a avid lover of cinema classics, I have always had a thing for old hollywood movie stars. James Dean, Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, I have a soft spot for all of them, but I must admit I love the stars in hollywood now just as much as some of the older actors and actresses.

     "ICONATOMY constitutes a series of collages by George Chamoun, a Swedish jewelry design student at the Konstfack University of the Arts.  The project was the student’s workshop with the theme ‘icons’ that would imply either celebrities, fashion icons, political, religious or any other personalities that influenced our world in one way or another."

      I absolutely love these pictures. I think they are brilliantly done and as a digital graphics student, I would love to do a project like this.

     P.S Its amazing how similar these stars look.

Can you Name them all?

Trend Alert: White Blazer

With Spring practically here, we're starting to replace our substantial Winter-wear with a refreshing collection of dazzling prints and lighter hues. That being said, one of the best and smartest swaps is trading a black blazer for a white one.  Stella McCartney and Phillip Lim showed them on their Spring runways and everyone lately has been getting on board with the trend. I encourage you to do the same. I think you will really enjoy the outcome.

An Insider's Look: Erin Fetherston's Home

Erin Fetherston, an american fashion designer, and a genius I might add, for proof click here, grew up in the bay area of California. After living in Paris for five years, the designer (and former Fashion Funder) moved to New York in 2007 and settled into a recently converted loft in Tribeca that overlooks the Hudson River.  The humble abode of perfection contains aerial-ceilings and gigantic windows. Erin describes her residency as  "romantic and chic, but clean and modern". I think it's just straight up fabulous.
