Welcome to those of you who are stopping by for the first time! And to my daily readers – thanks for not kicking me to the curb.
Isn’t it refreshing to be part of a new and innovative endeavor? Well, today’s my lucky day because I have the opportunity to do just that – I’m participating in the first Blog It Forward Mashup. Many thanks to Victoria at sfgirlbybay for organizing this exciting project, and to Creature Comforts and Heart Fish for giving her a hand. The project shares a connected stream of blogger posts about ‘what inspires us most,’ linking back and forward to the other blogs participating. So in the spirit of the game, be sure to check out yesterday’s Blog It Forward post from Design Crush, and don’t forget to drop in on the fabulous Diary of a Budget Fashionista tomorrow. Here goes nothing.
I’m a list person. Always have been, always will be. I used to write lists in my Trapper Keeper, and it’s only gone downhill from there. So it seems appropriate that I divulge my inspiration to you in list format. So here ’tis….
- Saturated, brilliant, bright color.
- A thought-provoking, visually ambiguous piece of art.
- The unexpected little gifts of nature.
- The constant cultural inspiration of the city. Alicia Keys sings this sentiment best in Empire State of Mind
: “these streets will make you feel brand new / the lights will inspire you…”
- The gut-wrenching, all-consuming, unconditional love of family and friends.
But we all know what a picture’s worth, so here come some images that are most inspirational to me:

An entire wall of photographs…. how deliciously indulgent.
