in the past i haven't shared much of what i do as a day job here on the blog, but i've been rethinking that strategy. initially i created the tagline for the blog "fashion in life and in print" because i talked about the branding/marketing aspect of fashion—logos, ad campaigns, magazine reviews, etc. but really it is my personal mantra. fashion is an important part of my life but i also want to create things that are "in fashion."
like many designers, i love creating moodboards and i do it pretty much all the time. i have a large bulletin board above my desk (top photo) at home that constantly changes (right now i'm really loving the branding for the coach legacy collection and the center image of daria from a 2004 prada campaign). i also love scrapbooking; i do one for every season that includes some of my favorite editorials, ad campaigns, new launches, beauty trends, and runway looks. at work, i started this year by using bri's make it calendar, which is a fun way to see how your taste changes month to month. finally, pinterest has become an invaluable resource for me personally and for work (now that there are private boards). i'd love to see what you are inspired by, so if you're on pinterest, please follow me or leave your username in the comments. hope you're having an inspiring week so far!

Made my first real mood board a few months ago, it was really fun! Although in high school I started an ongoing mood board-y thing in one of those composition notebooks. some pages are collages, and some pages are just one page ripped from a magazine. It's kind of funny to look back and see what I was doing in high school and college.
@adelle, i did the same a few weeks ago (the day i posted the nirvana concert ticket for throwback thursday), and it's funny to see how randomly things get thrown on the page and what were your inspirations back then.
