Collecting Inspiration

Aren't these photo montages from The Curious Nomad on flickr so lovely?!  They've got me dreaming of color coordinated closets and perfectly assessorized outfits...plus they've inspired me to take a closer look at the things I have hiding in my drawers and on my jewelry hooks.  How about you?  What items from your wardrobe would you put into a photo layout like this?  Perhaps once I'm all settled into my new home I will try my hand at arranging my belongings for an artful photo shoot.  Maybe if I'm lucky they will look even a fraction as fetching as these do.  See more pretty photos right here and if you'd like you can pay a visit to The Curious Nomad etsy shop as well.  xox Ez

Weekend Link Love: 07. 03. 09

Have a fantastic weekend everyone (and a fun and safe 4th of July for those of you here in the US).  I'll see you here again next week!  xox Ez

• I definitely want to try some of this scrumptious-sounding Berry "Pizza" this weekend.
• This 4th of July Cupcake Topper downloadable freebie is the sweetest (use the download as a template with your own patterned paper and it can be used for any occasion).
• With all the sweets I'll be eating over the weekend it's a good thing there is this great free printable Food Journal Download to help get me back on track (I plan to use it every day...starting next week).
• Next week I'm headed to New Jersey to house/apartment hunt (I'll still be blogging), and I so wish I was taking this amazing bag along with me (maybe next time).
• Letterpress + birds = perfection!

Inspiration Daily: weekend edition - specimens of beauty

Happy Friday lovelies!  This weekend I hope might feel inspired to:

• Lay in the grass and search for shapes in the clouds: flowers and the grass
• Wear something that makes you feel pretty: Untitled
• Explore your world (you can even start in your own backyard): 16/52
• Add to a collection you have or start a new one: The Hall of Biodiversity
• Enjoy the shade of a majestic tree (or plant a seedling for the next generation to enjoy) : "Of all the wonders of nature, a tree in summer is perhaps the most remarkable; with the possible exception of a moose singing ''Embraceable You'' in spats."
• Celebrate the beauty of everyday things: Untitled
