It's been quite a while since my last post and I figured since it seems like everyone else is gearing up for "back to school", I'm left with back to nothing, hence here I am. This past year has been a whirlwind between senior classes and saying goodbye to the friends who became my family at Drexel and ultimately leaving a place that I made home for four years. Since graduating in June, I have gone on a life changing Euro trip, sent out resumés and started redoing my bedroom considering the last remodel was done fifteen years ago when I was in second grade.
With so many things taking up my time, it wasn't until now that I realized the rest of my life is an open door. I am literally the premise for Natasha Beddingfield's
Unwritten, and I fully intend to take advantage of that. It seems like I'm constantly explaining myself to people about what I want to do and to be completely honest, it's getting a little old. My parents have always told me that I have the world at my finger tips and they've provided for me in such a way that I do believe that I can do anything. So the next time someone tells me what I want, I'm going to tell them "I want the world, and I will stop at nothing short of that." (That might be a little extreme, but hey today I'm feeling empowered!)
I've been thinking lately about what gets me inspired and I have to say that inspiration absolutely does come from different places, I am constantly inspired for different things. One thing I am inspired by is a striking picture. If there's good lighting and a clear image, I am almost always drawn to it. Of course it doesn't hurt if my favorite models are in the pic! Here are a few of my current favorite images that I grabbed from Pinterest:

| The whole face isn't shown here, but that is perfectly fine, I believe that it adds to the beauty of this picture. The red lip gives needed contrast and I just love it. Jenna Lyons recently did an interview with Into the Gloss where she revealed how imperfections make things more beautiful and the hair over the hair here definitely adheres to that credo. |

| Anyone who knows me knows my affinity for all things Olsen so even with just that reasoning, this picture is perfect, but I have more to back it up, too. The lighting on this picture is very unique and if you look quickly or from far away, you wouldn't necessarily recognize that this is MKA. They are also bearing much more skin than they normally do which is a welcome change if you ask me. There also seems to be a tattoo on Ashley's left arm which is news to me, mostly because they're both always so covered up! |

| Hydrangeas are my favorite flower, but this bouquet is quite simple and understated. With the natural fabric underneath, and the off centered effect with the vase, this image shows how even simple things can still be beautiful to look at. |
Just from writing this post, I have decided that I am going to continue posting about my favorite things. Next might be products or designers, but I will definitely keep updating with things that I am currently liking. Considering it is Fashion Week in New York City, I may take advantage and put up some of my favorite street style looks. Instagram is a major source of inspiration for me. I follow thousands of people who I don't necessarily know, but I appreciate the pictures they upload.
