Where Do You Find Your Inspiration?

Inspiration comes in many different forms. For some it's in the ambiance, for others its in people, but me... it's all about the details. 

For a long time I didn't have the inspiration to write. I guess I've been so busy moving and starting my new job in NYC that I didn't have the time to look at the little details in my bigger picture. Each time I looked for inspiration, my mind was blurred with the things directly in front of me and the tasks directly ahead of me. 

As days passed on to weeks, and weeks passed on to months, I had started to think I lost all inspiration. Finally, my friend and photographer asked me if I wanted to do a fashion photo shoot. We had talked about it for a very long time, but we both just had little to no time to really work on anything. However, today was a different day.

First, I slipped into sheer black silk tights, layered with thickly knit thigh highs. The reaction to these two items alone was instantaneous. Immediately, I felt sexy, cool and fashionable. The rest of my outfit came like a breeze––a high-waisted leather skater skirt, a long sleeve cropped top low v-neck shirt, my favorite fur vest, a gold watch, lace-up leather boots, topped with fingerless leather gloves. I know, a lot of details, right? That's exactly what gave me inspiration for today's blog. 

Check out these detailed photos taken by Carolyn Luu :) and then tell me what inspires you! I'd love to know what drives the mind of all readers out there.

September Romance

Aside from the fact that this month is a reminder of the tragic events that took place this day so many years ago, September is still remains to be the most romantic month of the year.

It's the month that reminds me of my innocent childhood as I embrace the first day of school. It's the month when the wind breathes a little faster and feels colder. The month when leaves start to change as they slowly color the ground in shades of yellow, orange and red. It's a month of new beginning, new loves and most importantly, it is the month where you finally get to bring out all of your knit hats, scarves, sweaters, jackets and boots! It's the month when fashion is at its best and I love it!

In the past week, I have been preparing my wardrobe for fall/winter... Mostly shopping and cleaning out the closet. But after a few days, I realized something tragic. Something that I'm sure almost every girl knows she has gone through. It seems I have been a victim of having a shit ton of clothes yet nothing to wear EVERY SINGLE DAY. I don't get it?! How is it possible that there's never enough hangers (I double/triple hang everything), my drawers are tight packed with clothes and my bed is littered with scattered clothes, yet I feel like I never have anything to wear!... Talk about first world problems huh?

On the bright side, I have added new shoes to my shoe rack. They're so cute, that I now have to find excuses to go out just so I can take them out :) The saying is true: Good shoes take you to good places!
