Peter Som's Spring 2012 collection really stood out to me this year! Seriously, the bright colors, and all those feathery frills! And I adore some of their more minimal pieces as well like that long blue maxi dress, gorgeous! (via style.com)


A really great post by Christine Hassler  on how to truly be the best girl friend to your friends and really realizing who your true girl friends are. Its so necessary to realize how to truly be a best friend and how someone treats you as a best friend. I still have some work on being a better best friend. But check it out here!(img via weheartit)
 






I am so inspired. I love looking at the behind the scenes looks of brilliant, and talented people. The "A day in the Life" series on Hulu is exactly that. I found it because I wanted something to watch while sewing.  It really is so inspiring, and shows us what it takes to be successful. It shows people like Russell Peters, and Will.i.am. And success doesn't come without hard work and sacrifice. But in the end its all worth it.



Lastly, another blog post, that I found by Lissa Rankin, on the 33 Signs You've Found Your Life's Work! I'm only just beginning to find my life's work and figuring out what I want to contribute to society. And I'm going through these signs, because I feel like my life's work is designing and creating and somehow combining philanthropy with it. :)

I love Gala Darling so so much! She is such an inspiration, and she always is! Her recent post on How to Live a Beautiful Life, is a kind reminder to get your butt into gear, and stop waiting around and having an amazing life!


I am in desperate need of learning how to use my own camera and take self portraits. Since, I usually take pictures of things, rather than myself. But I'm trying to change that with A Beautiful Mess' 5 tips for better self-portraits .


I want to try out these DIY wine dyed shorts from Koi Story . I love the color, its so fun, and perfect for summer,, which is now ending. But there's always next year. And the possibilities are really endless with what I can dye! :D

1. Blogging is about being authentic, and focusing on good content!
2. Don't take your readers for granted and always be grateful for them. :)
3. Be memorable, and take risks, there are a million blogs out there, and to stick out and be unique, is essential!
4. Keep it real, and its okay to say "NO" to brands if they don't fit with your brand.
5. Understand what your blog is about, what is it, and what is it not, and have a mission statement.

Honestly, I could keep going, about all the amazing things I learned from the IFB Conference. But I will just keep it simple and leave it at 5 main points that really stood out to me. What do you think are the most important aspects of blogging?

I'm so inspired to get a crafting space and organize it. lol. Right now, I don't have a "home" so I don't have a consistent space for creating which I feel I really need desperately, these inspirations will just have to tide me over for now. I absolutely adore the bright colors too! :) (Via pinterest)


I love this short post by Tony Gaskins, he always has an amazing message to convey! "Don’t be afraid to say NO to things that don’t meet your standards because ultimately you’ll be saying YES to something greater!" I seriously love it, because far too many people settle for less than they deserve!

I just recently discovered Rachel Pfefer Designs! Her jewelry is magnificent! I am enthralled by the beautiful stones she uses. And whats even better is she is a local designer! :) I absolutely love supporting local artists, and designers! :D There's more amazing work at Rachel Pfefer Designs
