Momentary Inspiration

October 15th, 2010

Anytime I’m feeling particularly uninspired, I refer back to pictures that I’ve saved for some reason or another.   I came across these two shots that I took while at the Twinkle by Wenlan presentation during New York Fashion Week and have since discovered five things I’m currently coveting.

1.  Blunt bangs with loose waves
2.  Lace panels on simple silhouettes
3.  Black mixed with pastels
4.  Polished shorts
5.  Matte white nail polish

Sometimes it only takes a few good shots to pull you out of an uninspired rut.  Have a great weekend!

    Love the look! I just gave my bangs a trim this week to make them blunt and am loving it– there is something about that style that lends itself well to fall… Keep up the great work! :)
