Item Inspiration of the Day...






Bet you never guessed something as dismal and outdated as a typewriter could be your inspiration. In fact, it absolutely can be! I don't lie when I say you can find inspiration in any item. I thought of this one because I was just looking at my old teal typewriter from when I was little. It was my mothers when she was little that she gave to me. So I thought of the time, which would be the 50's when she was using it. The style was classy and that was their technology. That was their speedy way of writing letters. I think it's more romantic than a computer and E-mail, I can tell you that much. Severe Carpal Tunnel might be the outcome of pressing those hard keys though! Anyways, I thought about the typewriter, the clean lines, the keys, and the letters. The dress I chose completely relates to the typewriter. The black band going across mimicking the black roll on the type writer, and the rows of lace mimicking the rows of keys. I chose the initial ring for obvious reasons, and the typewriter necklace for even more of a obvious reason. The little pill box hat with the netting just reminds me of the time period a lot and I for one love them and wish I had a reason to wear one, maybe new years. Hmmm. Now go look around your room for a new item to make an outfit from! Shoo!

I decided I have to do an inspiration piece from sharks. They are my absolute hands down, favorite animal. They're so intense, and I love how vicious they can be or as harmless as a puppy at other times. They're unpredictable and I love that. You all know how much I love rings, so you can understand how in love I am with that one. I will have it around my finger at some point, trust me. See what kind of outfit you can come up with from your favorite animal, you just have to open up your mind and not think too hard about it. You'll see how easily all these ideas come to you.

Today's inspiration came right from the glass in my hand. I was drinking a coke, and it just goes to show how simple it is to draw inspiration from pretty much anything you can see. You can be as literal with it or just pull colors or shapes from it. I think it's always fun to have a piece of jewelry of almost literally what you drew your inspiration from. No one will know that's what it came from except you.

In response to this crappy rainy day in New York, I chose a banana as my inspiration. Why a banana?? Because it's bright and cheerful. Sometimes I wear my yellow hoodie on days like this because it changes your mood. It's a fact. I think the color yellow is amazing for that, maybe that's why they made that smiley face yellow all the time, so you'd feel happy about it. I wonder. Anyways I think this outfit is swoon worthy, and did you see I threw in the Andy Warhol banana? Of course I did. Any day it's pretty grey out, just throw on some bright colored clothes. Don't grab for the sweats to make it match the weather even more. You'll see a change in your mood, no jokes. Go Bananas! ( god i love being a corn ball, at least I can laugh at myself HA!)

Need an idea for your holiday cocktail dress this winter?? Flowers. Flowers are the most amazing items to pull inspiration from they're vibrantly colored and layered. Every cocktail dress should have some poof or texture to it. Try and stay away from the long and flat dress, it comes off as old and up tight. Have some fun with it and get something with a little bit of netting underneath to poof it up and pick bright colors! The simple black is so boring, stand out at the party and liven it up with some color! I think I'm going red this year. Although I wouldn't mind wearing everything in that set. Blue flowers is what came to mind first so I went with it. Perfect.
