AUGUST SHOP THE SEASON + OUR FIRST MOODBOARD
SHOP THE SEASON’S BEST
INSPIRED BY REAL LIFE DETAILS
I really can’t believe we are entering into Fall. Quarantine has really done a whole time trick on us. I feel like my New Years party was just YESTERDAY! I was clinking champagne glasses that someone else had poured. I was with friends over a cheese board we were all eating from with our fingers. And we were all snuggled up on the couch after our night out….ok that is a different life. Now, having a party similar to that feels so unattainable and foreign. I’m not going to lie to you - that makes me super bummed!
Since I’m an annoyingly *glass half full* kind of gal, I refuse to wallow in how much I would love to relive that night. Instead, I’m choosing to focus on the present and how we can move forward! I’m also a really visual person. So whenever I’m feeling down, or in a rut I usually turn to my visual aids (Pinterest, Instagram, my Closet) to inspire me.
What happened when I turned towards real life inspirations? This month’s shop the season got SO SO good.
Happy August friends!

Whenever I scan for inspiration like this I always try to really visually and mentally absorb what I’m looking at. I try to let my mind wander, and really get involved in the moment. Usually when I do this, I can trick my overly imaginative brain into creating a mental mood board, if you will.
Instead of keeping these images and items locked up in my brain (or in my saved archives on insta) I’m doing something different and creating an actual physical mood board. I’m not only creating this here, but I’m also printing these pictures out and pinning them up in real life (oh, the OG PINterest). I hope that by actually having these pinned up, out of my brain archives, and off of the screen I will continue to feel inspired by them!
I encourage you to give this a try! Even if it feels silly I really feel that creating any sort of tangible mood or vision board can help you realize where you want to be (both mentally, professionally, and physically).
