Before I knew it, I had already filled up another collage of my current inspirations. In comparing it to February's inspiration board, I can see a slight transition with some trends continuing and developing:
- Bold red lips are still around, but the smoky eyes of previous months are now replaced with bright washes of coloured shadows, or flawless and luminescent skin
- The casual boots are gone and replaced by more classic pumps with unique twists like an artistically sculpted heel, mirror like facets, and heart-shaped cut-outs
- Ruffles and romantic, girly touches are everywhere even more now with flouncy, cloud-like dresses, tiered ruffle blouses tucked into pencil skirts, and ruffly skirts topped with over sized bows and curled locks
- On the other extreme though there are still more sharper and edgier silhouettes in this board, with an emphasis on stripes, embellished shoulders, and wild prints
- Colours continue to be muted and more pastel
- And yes, I am still obsessed with Japanese nail art!
Speaking of current obsessions, I am flattered and amazed by the plethora of responses to my Holy Grail Mascara giveaway with Snubbr.com - over 100 entries! Thank you to all those who entered, but I eventually had to pick just one winner. After compiling all the entries together, a winner was randomly chosen:
Clara of BookGirl

Yeah i notice the new back ground, very nice and refreshing!! Good job girl!
:( So sad smokey eyes are out. That was a great look which lasted a long while.
More pastels? That's wonderful! They are nice and soft colors.
And I love that pumps are popular now, except I am too pregnant to wear high heels :(
Your inspiration board is a fab idea! Keep it up!
I like reading your inspiration board posts! Can I suggest a future post on your favorite ruffle blouses? I'm struggling to see how many ways I can wear one.
Happy Easter weekend! I appreciated you stopping by the blog to say hello :D

Thx everyone for the feedback, I'm glad you all enjoy the inspiration posts! It was just a random experiment I tried, but I'll definitely keep posting them now :)
@Elisse: you always have the best post ideas. I will for sure do one on ruffled shirts for you!
Ruffles + romantic = LOVE!!!
The pregnancy is going better than the 1st trimester - thanks for asking! I was really, really sick for 3-4 months. Awful experience! Am due either at the end of July or early August.
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. Looking forward to your next post.

really pretty new look to your site, J!
I'm all over the lace, ruffles, romanticism look but I do like mine with more edge. Advice? Also b/c my hair is short (no curling options really) does it work to purposefully rough it up rock n roll style to contrast with all that prettiness?
what a great inspiration board!! i agree with the first; my make up lately has been inspired by dewy & bronzed natural looks!
i love ur collage idea, and that a.wang striped dress is one of my fav looks too
sorry i haven;t been by in a while, my computer has been on the fritz! i'm loving the new layout though, it looks awesome. did u switch to wordpress or still blogger?
Man, I feel like I have nothing left to say to you in a comment because we talk in person or on MSN so often. So, let me just repeat: Love the new layout, and I am all about the lipstick lately...red lips ftw.
