endLESS inspiration: I’m moving!

There is something about moving to a new place that gives you the ultimate inspiration. Maybe it's because, you can start from scratch? Well, as you may or may not know, I'm moving! No, not to another country just yet, but out of my parents house. First of all, with Previously Owned the Store's opening, I won't have ANY space to ship/store your stuff, and well, if I did not move this time around, I would turn into crazzycavewoman.

I have 4 white walls. NOTHING else. So, I'm looking for inspiration.

I have a couple pictures I found (no credits :s. If someone remembers where they're from let me know) But maybe you guys can help me out? Any links to your blogs posts about inspiration are welcome!

A trash can, a potato chip, the sky or even paint splatter.

But, other times, its a living clusterf#$%, and our minds are not easily inspired by our surroundings. Picture 12

thats when BAK MAGAZINE comes in.Picture 13
INTERNATIONAL VISUAL ARTS GAAAAALOOOREEEE

A free online magazine full of art from different places around the world. Not only that, but interviews as well! Whether it be, a animation designer, or a photographer it is all there! Picture 14

Now for some even better news:

Currently in LOVE with: Thakoon pre-fall 2010 (I’m obsessed…are you?)

Thakoonprefal

Yes, ladies & Gents… Once again, pure perfection.

Simple with structure & prints to die for.

Thakoon Panichgul has been on my "FASHION GENIUS" list for quite a while. His pieces always speak for themselves, making great clothes to own. As he well describes in style.com his creations are:

"all-in-one self-styling"

But this time, adding shoes to the mix?! REALLY?! Is this some kind of torture?

AREN'T THEY INCREDIBLE?!

From the streets to your closet: Garance Doré Edition (with help of Marc Jacobs & Betsey Johnson)

Eleonora-2

I admit I am a Garance Doré stalker. Not in a weird/freaky way… but, as far as "rss" goes, she's on my reader + blogloving + bookmarked. I know, slight issues…

But, as you can see here, her photography goes beyond normal street style. It really captures what that person wanted to give off with their outfit. When I saw this picture it screamed instant HAPPINESS for a rainy day. Oh, and I wanted to dress just like her everyday of my life since today.

HOW?!

with some Marc Jacobs & Bestsey Johnson

A day AT: Ouna’s Closet Part. 1

Moda 184Moda 186
It's not quite usual for me to meetup with fashion bloggers.

Why?!

Because in Puerto Rico I can't seem to FIND ANY!

So, when Lillian from nouveamoda contacted me on my facebook, not only did we automaticly decide we needed to meetup, but… some vintage rummaging had to take place! Since I always wanted to take pictures of this shop it was only normal that I asked Lillian to come along!Moda 155 me behind the scenes as usual!
Moda 156

Ouna's Closet, was so kind to have us over to photograph her shop

(AND TRY ON STUFF).

We went through their bits n' pieces for almost a whole day! Lillian from nouveamoda got to try on some GORGEOUS VINTAGE FINDINGS while I took pictures of the store. It is a vintage shop but, it also carries indie/d.i.y. labels from local Puerto Rican designers. Which gives us the best of both worlds… HANDMADE & HARD TO FIND
