As any fashion fanatic knows, inspiration can come from anywhere – movies, books, magazines, pictures, walking down the street..you get the idea. For me, it’s pictures. Whether they be from a random site, blog, book or magazine, over time, I’ve accumulated quite a collection of images with something fashionably inspiring in them.

But what the hell do I do with them? Sure, I love to  look at them to get ideas for outfits or shopping or what-have-u, but it’s kind of a pain in the ass to get on the computer to look through everything. It’s just not convenient. Plus, the tons of pictures I’ve collected are taking up space on my hard drive. But the problem-I really don’t want to get rid of them because each picture has something in it that I absolutely love. They’re inspiring to look at because they remind me of why I love style. They give me new ideas and remind me that I am actually a girl and should dress and act accordingly.

So, I came up with a genius idea (at least I think it’s genius). Each month I’m going to put all the photos I’ve collected during the previous month in a photo book. You know the ones, iPhoto makes them as well as a host of other companies. Submit your pics to the site, adjust your layout and tada! – your own personal fashion inspiration book. This way everything is kept in one convenient and bound place – which will motivate me to look at the beauties more often. Putting all the pics in a book will allow me to keep them for way longer, too.

It would be rad to have a collection of fashion photo inspiration books for my kids (when they are eventually planted in my uterus..don’t get ideas mom..no I’m not pregnant), no? I think so.

I saw this picture the other day – this is why I love english bulldogs. They are the cutest things ever as puppies…makes me want another one.
