Pretty things
Lately I've been super inspired by the pretty photography on flickr. I love when people take simple things and turn them into an image that makes me feel happy all over. Here's the latest…
Pretty mattresses? Who knew?
I've been loving braid headbands lately, but what about making them into a casual updo? Totally on my to-do list.
Hanging up pretty dresses on your wall is sort of like instant artwork, eh?
I think I want to have a portrait photoshoot with some of my favorite inanimate objects. Like typewriters? (seriously, how sweet is this?!)
Old clunkers. Definitely charming. I would certainly drive one around town if they weren't so unreliable…
And lastly, balloons. I know they've been done, and done, and done again. But they're just so lovely and they remind me of the wedding I was in as a flower girl when I was a preschooler. Everyone had bunches of balloons that they let go when the bride and groom exited the church. It's a memory I'll cherish forever.
What are some of your current inspirations?

I just ordered a lovely typewriter print from there!
I adore these shots. If you would like, I did a shoot a few years ago where I photographed myself in the snow with a record player.

ps-my current inspiration is christmas. let's be honest. i could sooo skip thanksgiving and head straight to christmas this year.
thank you — I feel happy all over. the first pic, the one with the mattresses, is my favorite. :)
love those mattresses! mine’s not EVEN that pretty. lame pastel flowers.
XO.
Thank you for using my picture, I’m flattered! :)
You should totally rock the braid! I’ve done it quite a few times at work and never really considered it much of a statement but seeing it in a pic makes it so special! DO IT!
i love the balloons, i am all over the map with inspo but I am really into statement pieces and urban photography right now!
I like your list! so many great and unusual things on it. (clunkers! mattresses!!)
stealing away from my day here to peak into your world…thanks for the favorite things…all dreamy.
What a wonderful list! Balloons and typewriters are on my list too, and vintage cars…not necessarily clunkers, but well-kept old cars.
Also right now, pumpkins, scented lotions and lip balms, Christmas music, Charlie Brown dvds, Cocoa Puffs (I’m really on a Cocoa Puff kick right now), birds, leaves, mountains, and turntables.
And I second the Yvette Inufio recommendation. She’s off the chain.
heyhey, how surprising found myself here listed on your inspriation list :)
here’s a link to a nice braid tutorial via german blog “les mads”:
