One of my favorite parts about blogging is having a place to put the random images I come across online that I find a) beautiful b) inspiring or c) all of the above. This past weekend I met Taylor for coffee and we chatted / laughed about how we loved cutting up magazines to make collages for our binders in middle school. I'm pretty sure I would switch out my collages from under the plastic of my three ring at least monthly, and I still have a framed collage I made while in college hanging in my bedroom now over five years later.
I guess you could say blogging is a new form of collaging. Instead of tearing out the pages of my Vogue magazines and posting them up in my bedroom for a select few to see, I am now able to share my inspiration with all of you!

I did the SAME EXACT thing with collages in my binders :)
Sooo true :)
It totally is! It inspires me everyday to see mine and to see others like yours! I've framed several of my collages from design school and they're worked into a picture frame collage in my living room!
Heck yes! I love collaging. I agreeing that blogging is the new collaging. On another note do you have glasses? I am looking for a pair, just for wearing, not because I have bad sight.

and we are all so grateful you share them with us!
@Kastles - I do have an old pair of reading glasses (they are Candies) but I would love a new pair... it's definitely a fun look.
@Kimbirdy - aww yay!! ;)
Ooooh the last sunnies and that leopard clutch! YUMMY!

Whoa. This is total inspiration. I'd have the entire room wall-papered!!
I used to have an inspiration board in my room: http://bit.ly/eGGmkN
But I moved in with my boyfriend and haven't put it up again. I've found I can use my blog and polyvore to keep track of what inspires me.
What a wonderful thought, that blogging is the new collaging. I absolutely started by blog because I couldn't have one more cut-out wedding dress or centerpiece floating around!
It is so true...I was the queen of collages! I'm loving all of your inspirations...xo
I love pictures like these! The girl wearing the leopard jacket or whatever that is, looks amazing!
I have three binders filled with collages! Its really fun to do over long breaks!

Do I dare admit that as an adult I have a sketchbook that I paste pictures in that I tear out of magazines? Plus, I have a bulletin board up filled with all kinds of randome stuff (jewelry I like, nail polish colors, hair styles I want to try).
What stunning, STUNNING inspiration, my dear! So pretty and all very chic.
