Creativity is Contagious. Pass it On.

Going back to the 29 Ways to Stay Creative post, one of the things I’ve found extremely helpful has been #11 on the list: surround yourself with creative people. Albert Einstein wasn’t kidding when he said “Creativity is contagious.” I finally installed the Feeddler app and it’s been a godsend!  Now instead of struggling to find the time to read my favorite blogs, they come to me right on my iPhone whenever a new post is published. Waiting in line at the grocery store, doctor’s office, pumping gas…you get the drift. I didn’t realize how reading blogs sparks my own creativity until I started up  again after a long break. The wealth of inspiration is unbelievable!  Lately, it’s been the fashion blogs that have me most excited (ironic since I’m the least fashionable person I know).  I love the way they showcase and stylize details of an outfit.  Detail shots – and stylized ones at that-  have never been my strong suit, but I decided to play around with a new purchase from a Stella & Dot to practice some of those skills. I really do like the way these turned out – definitely a step in a more creative direction. By the way, did I mention how much I loooove these earrings?! I’m looking forward to getting great use out of them this Spring!

Amy - So true! And love the earrings. I do wish I could wear green; but I’m so pasty white that anything green near my face reflects, making me look as though I’ve been sailing amid rough seas. :S

Maddy {Mad Hearts Photography} - Lol! Really? I would think green would be your color, especially since you have a bit of the reddish tone to your hair.

Elena - I love these photos! I have a thing for books too! Seriously, I just love looking at them. I always say I’m going to photograph some and I never get the chance! Love the way these books are all neutrals! They look fantastic with the vivid green earrings!

Elle sees - Very pretty! I find inspiration attacks me at the most random of times, so I am old-school and keep notebooks everywhere!!!
