inspire//desire 'mood' board

Here are a few things catching my eye today.  

A little attitude, a little smile, a little leather. 

And depending on your mood, here are some shopping links:

sassy = leopard coat

a little daring = waxed black jeans

classic = Breton striped shirt

elegant wit a touch of attitude = black cocktail ring

you mean business = military jacket

you really mean business = stiletto booties

mellow with a touch of tough = leather jacket

The good news is, whatever your mood might be, any of these pieces will work together 

so you can really be in more than one frame of mind.  

Again, appeals to my Gemini tendencies.

 a little daring + classic

sassy + you mean business

mellow with a touch of tough + you really mean business

See? Fun! 

This has been a fun project for me today. 

I think I will tackle another inspire desire 'shopping mood board' soon!  

Hope you enjoy it!

Tuesday's girl

Hello!  The day is moving along and I am just now getting a post up. I do try to have fresh things up by 9am but lately it seems to happen later in the day. I started to feel a little stress about that, and then realized that when I rush I don't enjoy this process as much. I always want to stay in the headspace of pure creativity, and not 'deadline' while working on this blog. I worked in advertising for 20 years in heavy deadline mode and I am trying to remember I don't have to put that kind of pressure on myself when creating this blog.  Phew. 

I guess what I am trying to say, is thank you for reading. Thank you for checking in. I hope its ok if new posts hit the wires a little later some days than others. I enjoy this process and I hope you enjoy reading ... even if it is later in the day. 

Here are a few images catching my eye this week... 

Here are a few shopping links... I know, lots of shopping this week and no, I don't shop this much but you never know when you see something you simply must have. I would be remiss if I shared images with you and didn't at least source a few links for you right?

So if you have the urge...

leopard pumps

brown motorcycle boots

faux shearling coat

faux leather jeans

And thank you again for reading... I really do hope you enjoy.

I am pretty mellow when it comes to jewelry.  I don't wear a lot, have a few treasures that I love and gather a few random pieces here and there.  But last summer I got completely addicted to bracelets.  The addiction continues...

Here are a few inspirational images to jump start your imagination and your week.  

...and here is a bit of my stash from last summer happily sitting on a vintage perfume bottle

I think I need a bigger bottle
