When I find myself drifting through the week, mindlessly and apathetically going through the motions of the day to day grind, I find that what I really need to snap out of it is a good dose of creative inspiration.  It’s funny because after I realize this is what I need and hunt and gather in my environment, I always find that inspiration really is everywhere, if you keep a lookout for it. So here it is, what is currently inspiring me through the end of this month…

Metric’s new album ‘Synthetica’ …. new Frye Sylvia Piped booties just arrived! Just in time for tights season … the movie is getting mixed reviews, but my best friend loved the book ‘Cloud Atlas’, so it’s now on my ereader… after an extensive search, finally found the perfect shade of Oxblood nail polish, no idea why it was so elusive … Cat Power’s new album ‘Sun’ is also currently on heavy rotation, especially the killer track ‘Manhattan’ … the new Free People November catalog featuring all kinds of ‘Harvest Moon’ Autumnal Gypsy looks (see it all here) has me all excited for layering and lush velvet … caught my favorite Halloweeny movie on TV, Practical Magic, I love the styling and color story in the movie, and that magical all white witchy house…

Happy almost Halloween!
