A Study of Roses: Sources of Inspiration

via tumblr, weheartit, beautyineverything, Camilla Akrans

When I'm creating an inspiration board, I compile a stack of tear sheets from my favorite magazines and images I've collected over a period of time. I got into this habit of tearing magazine pages when I was 12 with my first subscription of Seventeen magazine. I like to make a collage of fashion tears, images and thread colors/fabric scraps for colour inspiration, which all fuel my creativity.

At this moment, I'm enchanted by roses. Expect to see some rose inspired items for the new collection, and maybe something mythical and mysterious.

Just a reminder, you still have time to enter my giveaway HERE which ends tonight.

Trend Forecasting by the Color of your Shoes

I'm still feeling the macro trend of Blush and Nudes strongly pushing it's way into spring 2011 from watching the Golden Globes and venturing into a few shoe stores. I'll let you in on a bit of info; you can usually tell the color of the season by looking at shoes, since they are meant to match with the color of upcoming clothing deliveries.

I bought these multi buckle wedges while I was in Hong Kong but I can't wear them yet because of the heap of snow outside. They look like the Surface to Air Buckle Wedges that I've been eyeing on their website, but I bought them for half the price.

For now, I'm just waiting till the snow melts till I can wear these puppies out.
