It's not a waste of time, seriously.

I dare all of you to start your own Inspiration Book!
It's a great way to hone your personal style, and it acts as an outfit-generator for the days you just feel like "you've got no clothes". It's not only for magazine editors, or stylists, or designers. It's fun, it's cute, and it's yours! Mine always makes me happy, and I get super-excited when I have free time to hunt through magazines and start making fashion collages. Summer should be productive..right? =P

If any of you already have your own Inspiration Books, congrats!
And feel free to share the love <3 div="">

  10. I tried for a while, and did quite elaborate ones, but I didn't have the patience or time to keep it up... and I can't bear to chop up my magazines!

  11. I have so many boxes full of cut-outs from magazines, and I have been meaning to make lookbooks, but I never seem to have the time. Looking at yours has given me new inspiration to try though..so as you say, summer will be productive ;)

  13. clever!

    i actually started one of those in grade 10 but i only did one season because i forgot about it and when i would remember about it i was way too lazy to do it. it is a lot of effort to do.

  14. This is the perfect solution to my bland summer.
    A very resourceful thing to do with my hundreds of magazines that need recycling.
