Whenever I experience a lull in my motivation or creativity, I get really down on myself. It happens often but the turnaround time is quick. It helps to look through old notebooks or blog posts and remember what I’m passionate about. I recently bought Creative Block by Danielle Krysa, The Jealous Curator. The book explores different ways to get out of your creative slump and features advice from 50 talented and respected designers. Can’t wait to see what tips I can gather from them!

Onto the faves:

Alexa Chung is my hair role model. Straight up. I don’t know why I didn’t include her in my post about bangs, but I ended up showing her picture to my hair stylist.

Such a pretty green print by sugartowne on Etsy.

I’ve been doing a lot of planning and thinking about where I’ll live next. I know for a fact it will be a tiny place, so I’m loving multipurpose storage/decorating ideas like this one. I was just thinking last night about whether or not I should keep all my magazines.

I have been dreaming about patterns all the time lately, and this is fantastic.

And look at this beautiful restaurant makeover! You can find the before picture here. I love that just a new paint color, some plants, outdoor seating, and new curtains gave it a way different feel.

Well, I’m off to go work on a delish new recipe post! See ya tomorrow. :)
