December 2009 Inspiration Board

Posted by dannidupa in Monthly Inspiration Boards and tagged with , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

[clockwise from top left corner]

1. .TWINKLE LIGHTS. Just pretty. That’s it.

2. .SNOW. I love how snow is novel at the start of every winter. How quickly that changes.

3. .BLAKE LIVELY. Gorgeous, of course, and hosted one of the best SNL episodes in a while.

4. .LYRICS. These words are from “Cosmic Love” by Florence + the Machine.

5. .CHRISTMAS. The season, when not over-stressed or hyper-commercialized, is magical.

6. .EVERGREENS. Blame it on my environmental science exam today. Gotta love these before they’re deforested.

7. .CRAFTS. Exchanging homemade prezzies with a best friend…wish me luck and give me ideas!

8. .KIRSTEN DUNST. If she inspires Sophia, then she inspires me, too.

9. .TRAINS. There’s something about a relaxing train ride that has me always opting to publicly transport myself.

10. .KNEE SOCKS. Leave a cozy pair sticking out over the top of boots. Draws the eye to your boot confident stride.

11. .BAND POSTERS. From vintage Dylan fliers to cuties like these, I want some for my dorm!

12. .THEATERS. Beautiful architecture and an artistic history. My local favorite is the Boston Opera House.

Six Winter Style Essentials

1. .BEANIE KNIT HATS.

There is nothing worse than facing the cold with wet hair. But, it’s 8 AM. You’re hair is so dirty it’s almost clean again. Enter stage left: the beanie. Cozy and adorable, this cold weather accessory has concealed some of my laziest beauty days.


2. .STURDY BOOTS.

But now it’s 8:30. An obligatory coffee detour has cut your schedule a little too close for comfort. Not the time for some stylish booties or blister-inducing flats. Give me a no-frills pair of Fryes  (or its Target lookalikes) and I promise I will haul my caffeinated self to my destination on time.


3. .PRINTED SCARVES.

Ever step out the door in late winter only realize that your life-stifling boredom has turned your wardrobe black? Monochrome has its time and place and the bleak winter landscape is not it. Energize your outfit and maybe even your mood with some pops of texture or color. The printed scarf is the easiest fix. The draping options are innumerable and the effect is immediate. Plus, cold necks are the worst.


4. .TOGGLE COATS.

One good coat is just simply not enough. Every day you can pick out the world’s most adorable winter outfit, but what do you inevitably have to conceal it with? Your outerwear. I have me a puffer, a belted swing coat, a trench–-all perfect to have in stock. But, only with the addition of a toggle jacket will I finally be content with my coat rotation. While I’ll keep scanning the local thrift racks, let the ladies below convince you to do the same.


5. .LAYERING.

This one goes without saying. The more items, the less freezing-ness. And if anything spells out bohemian winter, it’s carelessly haphazard layering.


6. .FAIR ISLE SWEATERS.

The Scandinavian sweater is a warm, cabin-fever trend that keeps catching my eye. It’s another piece I’m planning to obtain by means of my trusty local Goodwill. Though I admit Diane does it the best, also note the fearlessness that is Rihanna–singlehandedly killing two trends with one stone (fair isle and poncho). Brave woman.

Stay warm!

You Strike A Profile On The Low Side Of My Imagination

I’ve always been intrigued by side profiles. Perhaps the fascination derives from the fact that I barely recognize my own side view. Maybe Audrey will trade me. Aren’t these people beautiful?

  • This is the most adorable ad for Google about a Parisian love story!
  • An article about the not so subtle misogynism of chick flicks.
  • Follow these rules and you’ll make it the most stylish winter to date. (No UGGs were hurt in the making of this article.)
  • Sarah Palin has something unintelligent to say about vegans.
  • Click! Actually this link is me trying to trick you into following me on bloglovin. (It changed when my my URL dropped the “wordpress.”) Humor me? =)

Peace,
