My Inspiration Board

Speaking of Bloom, I love the its flagship store on Chapel Street. Its subtle girly design (as in it doesn’t scream marshmallow pink all over), together with the friendly staff, makes me wanna go back to the store again and again. The best thing about the store (other than the makeup, of course), is the large inspiration board they have by the cash register. Everytime I visit the store, there’s something different on the board.

I have a magazine cutting of the inspiration board, which I scanned just for you. Of course, I also pinned this source of inspiration on my own board.

It really inspired me to make my own inspiration board as well. The corkboard came cheaply from IKEA, and since I had a bit of wall space behind the dresser, I rested the board on it against the wall.

It contains the items which I dream to have, like the Chanel 2.55. Okay, I couldn’t find a glossy piece in my stash of magazines, so I, erm, printed it out and stuck it on the board.

A style I’d love my country home (if I ever have one, that is) to have.

A fashion icon, whom I still think it one of the most beautiful women in the world, the darling Audrey Hepburn. The picture above Audrey Hepburn is one of my bridal portraits with the hubs.

Whatever that tickles my fancy goes onto that board. Items in my wish list, shopping list, photographs, my handmade jewellery, a watch to remind me of amount of time I’m taking to put on my makeup, etc. If you have some extra wall space, whether it’s behind the desk or by the bed, I highly recommend an inspiration board of your own. It’s a fun piece of decor, and you can update it anytime you come across an interesting article in the magazine or newspaper.

Have fun!
