Here's a brand new dose of color inspiration in shades of soothing blues. This box is number 8 in my Inspiration Box series. I haven't done one in over 2 years, but hopefully will work on them more frequently again.... Continue reading

Hi Lindsay Thanks for your beautiful comment! Sounds like we have a lot in common in that we get inspired from our family members. I would say that New York Bridal Week is a great starting point for seeing the brilliant new collections from the fashion designers. A fashion shoot will definitely stem from the new trends seen there. If it's for my blog and a personal project, ideas will just pop into my head mostly when I am outside or playing around with my many props or inspiration boxes that I put together. Sometimes I will have a piece of fabric or an object lying around for years before I use it! Thanks again and stay in touch because there may be some workshops on the horizon!

Thanks for entering Laviza and Melkorka! I'm so intrigued by the ivory, white and green with metallic accents palette. Sounds like you thought it through down to the textures and details. Would love to hear more as it develops!
