Moment of Clarity

Yesterday I had a moment of clarity and let me tell you, it was amazing! I have been feeling a bit flummoxed lately because I was unsure of the direction I wanted to take with the clothes that will be featured on my website.  I'd had a ton of looks all planned out and the sketches put neatly aside in a folder for me to refer to, but one by one each of those looks became...not quite what I wanted.  Moreover, I have a bunch of half complete pieces, but with no direction I wasn't sure what was going to make the cut and what was not.

So yesterday I had a little headache and just wanted to lay down and shut my eyes for a few minutes...maybe an hour, whatever, and as I lay there all the pieces suddenly, simply and divinely just fell into place.  I was so excited I could hardly contain myself!  I immediately grabbed a pen and paper so that I could write my whole plan out.  Now I have decided on a definitive twelve looks (I know that is pretty ambitious at this point but four of them are almost completed) as well as a definitive color scheme.  Thank you for all of your votes by the way!

The color theme is as follows:

 

Violet

Super Lemon

Rococo Red

Fusion Coral

Croisant



I think it is going to be fantastic!  The color story makes sense and the pieces all flow, I couldn't be more excited!  Now I better get to work!!!!!

Get Inspired

I believe that beauty is one of mans greatest inspirations.  Who isn't inspired by the beauty of the Eiffle Tower or a colorful sunset?  However, it is true that some find more inspiration in beauty than others...or maybe it is just that they find beauty in different places than others or in more places.  Whichever the case may be beauty is all around us and I personally am inspired by it all the time.  I get a giddy childlike feeling in the pit of my stomach whenever I am attracted to something,  and trust me, I get that feeling often!  From beautiful architecture to the makeup counter at Mac, they all give me butterflies.  So I want to dedicate a section of my blog to what inspires me.  Today's inspiration? Color.  Have a look below and just try not to get inspired yourself.

So...What inspires you?

Feedback: Color, color and more color

Since we are on the topic of color I thought I would share with you all the color pallete for the clothes I am creating for my website.  Because I am a fan of bright colors I wanted to use colors that really pop for spring.  So aside from the traditional black and white pieces that you will inevitably see mixed in I opted to go for mostly brights with a few pastels to set it off. 

Because I originally was going for about 20 pieces I chose 9 base colors but now I am not sure if they will all make it.  If all went according to plan here are the colors I would love to have included in the collection:

Super Lemon

Croissant

Fusion Coral

Rococco Red

Violet

Turquoise

Vibrant Green

I would love to hear your feedback on these color choices.  Do you love them?  Do you hate them?  Is there one that you particularly like or loathe?  And most importantly which would you definitley like to see included in the site and maybe in your own wardrobe?
