Getting creative

seeking inspiration
I've often struggle with writers block and my creativity fizzles out from time to time so I made a creativity board for work and I'm going to create one at home for my blog.  My work one is a mixture of positive sayings, media articles I like and tips on producing communications, with a couple of shoe images stuck in there.

I need to get more organised for creating blog posts (there is never enough time in the day) I have a pile of magazines to read and loads of cuttings to put into a creative board but I will prevail.  How do you get creative or what inspires you?

Mainly its things that pop into my head, I make sure to have pen and paper next to the bed but other times, like my last post, it is just passing on of information regarding special offers that may be of interest to readers, you expect more fashion week posts as I have been watching a lot of live streamed shows, I like your board idea though! x

Such a good idea - I need to get a mood board going again! I used to do one every week. Now sadly not...

Oh and I like your new typeface - which one is it??

I tend to have a notebook (or three) in my bag to jot down ideas when inspiration strikes, but realistically I end up thinking of my best ideas as I'm drifting up to sleep which means I wake up to a bedside table covers in scribbly post it notes which I can only half read! I think a mood boards a much better idea! x

Love your creativity board. I've never done my own board, I should try it. Whenever I need a boost of creative energy I just watch a good movie or read a passage of a good book and that usually gets my gears going.

I've been looking to get a creative board too, haha I'm not the most organized person so can't really answer that, but when you do sort everything you have to let us know how you did it!

Spotted on the street

Image
Today, I was 'spotted on the street', well I suppose you could say spotted in the mirror! I've been meaning to do a post on the boots I own but just haven't got round to doing one yet.  So today, as I've started walking to work due to my car being very poorly. The need to get my dogs Jasper and Harvey to and from doggy-day care (my mum's but didn't it just for one second sound like I was Paris Hilton!) means I needed some boots that were made for walking. I usually buy a pair of boots every couple of years, I like to try and find a boot with some detailing that could resemble the vintage footwear like buckles or button detailing.  This pair were one of my last boot purchases bought from Barratts, for around £70, in December 2008 for my planned wedding and honeymoon in Vegas and San Francisco.  Funny story though, I thought I would save these boots for the holidays and choose to leave them in the box untouched until March when I'd be jettin...

where do I start?

I've been neglecting my blog for the past few weeks while I've been suffering from a horrible chest infection.  I've just not had the energy to research shoes and window shop the latest that the high street has to offer. So now I'm dosing up on medicine and determined to get myself back on track. To help kick start my research, I've treated myself to some magazines, including the latest InStyle magazine, with the fabulous Dannii Minogue gracing the front cover. She is one of my favourite style crushes, especially after last year's X Factor.  In my humble opinion, she definitely won the X-Factor fashion crown! In the Style Candy section, they've listed a lovely pair of shoes available at asos.com that meet the nude trend while tickling your fancy with a feather embellishment. These would be lovely for a summer wedding or perhaps a day at the races.  Although I would be quite happy wearing them while doing my ironing! I've learnt  ...

Goodbye 2010

As the door to one year closes, another opens Well 2010 is coming to a close.  It's been a mixed bag of a year: a new government in place, Royal Wedding announcements and the plight on miners trapped underground gripped the world.  For me, there were two significant milestones - my first wedding anniversary and the first year since my sister underwent treatment for cancer with an all-clear (we will have five years of these yearly milestones to go through).  In addition, one of my best friends had her first baby and my cousin got engaged on Christmas Day so we have had a couple of great events, which has made a real change from the last couple of years! This has also been my first year as a blogger, so I wanted to say thank your for popping by my blog, leaving comments and all your support.  I've really enjoyed blogging and hope to continue developing my blog in the year to come. I'm not sure what the new year will bring but I can only wish tha...
