Inspired.

In the past 6 months I have become quite the blog follower.  Before this time I never even gave blogs a chance.  True Statement.  Now I don't know what I'd do without my daily fix of Design*Sponge or routine "check-ups" of the 50 other million blogs I have bookmarked.  Now I even have my own blog.  The times have changed so rapidly.  

I am constantly looking to new blogs for inspiration and advice.  Not only do I use them as my creative fuel but as a role model of what goals I want my blog to reach.  I have noticed that several blogs do weekly posts on colors, diys, home&garden, etc.  I find myself checking more fervently on specific days when I know a certain type of post will be up.

Therefore, I would like to designate Mondays as "Inspired." days.  Monday is the true beginning of our week and, might I add, the day that usually needs the most inspiration.  I also love being inspired and sharing that inspiration with others.  So each Monday I will post what has been inspiring me lately.

Enjoy!

Lately I have found myself completely engrossed in typography and print in general.  I couldn't help but purchase this large book when I saw its many historical typefaces as well as graphics.  I literally read it cover to cover in less than two days.  Needless to say, I was completely inspired and can't wait to buy the first volume.  If this looks appetizing to you, you can buy it here.

While blog surfing this past week, I stumbled upon some fantastic blogs, including DesignLoveFest written by the lovely Bri Emery.  She seems crazy and creative--the best kind there is.  Her blog is chock full of inspiration.  I tell ya, chock full.

Meanwhile, I have been completely crushing on neon pink.  I spent my New York trip being drawn to all that was neon.  Some may say its gone and went, but I disagree.  I normally take solace in pale and pastel colors, but recently my world has been turned upside down, and I am ready to shoot neon from every project I make from now until, well, until I am back to my old self.  So, to pronounce my love I must debut my color in the form of a pair beautiful Sperrys that I first spotted at J.Crew a couple of weeks ago.  The picture doesn't do quite the justice that I want it to, so go check it out at JCrew too.
