My Inspiration Boards

When I was cleaning my old stuff yesterday, I found a little notebook that I made in college and I wrote there, "Declare it. Make it known." From what I remembered, I read that from the article in Seventeen magazine entitled Power of List.

I think that has been the reason I started making lists about anything really - short term goals, long term goals, wants, needs, wishlists, things to change, things to do, things to be appreciative about, bucket list, etc.



 

Yet, it was only recently that I tried creating vision boards or inspiration boards which work just as effective as lists.

So I made a few, here they are:

The Signature look I am going for.

Business: A woman for women. A brand that focuses on creating beautiful clothing for women to make them feel and look their most beautiful. I want to sell other merchandises, too; such as wall art, notebooks, decors, accessories, books that I designed, written, and made. I am inspired on how Alessandra Lanot utilizes her talent in their business. I love how Diana Rikasari of UP shoes pursued her passion for shoes and turned it into a business, I love the point of view of Inslee Design and Heima. I love the strength and passion Daphne Paez is exuding - such a beautiful and empowered woman, indeed. She's a mother, a wife, a career woman, an entrepreneur. Such an inspiration. Lastly, I envision my clothing line to be as successful as Bayo as I am really into RTW and I want my business to be commercial yet, with luxurious appeal into it.

Ode to Shoes

Listen To Candice Bergen
Faith Ford once shared the best piece of advice she received regarding fashion from working with Candice Bergen on the set of Murphy Brown – whether your outfit is Chanel or hand me downs, a quality shoe instantly transforms the look from something so-so, to something with tremendous style.  Never cut corners when it comes to your footwear (source: simplyluxurious).

I wrote this for VNC in 2010 but since it wasn't chosen, I'm recycling it. I changed "VNC" to "I am loving it."

An old man said to a young lady, "Something and someone better is coming your way."

She was puzzled and asked, "How?"

He responded,
