my summer journaling...

so today i am here to share some of my summer journaling, I was at the thrift store and found a smashbook which I was so happy to find and I decided I would fill the pages with all kinds of pretty images that I have saved in file folders and then I went through my old Victoria magazines and found more things I love.

So it wasn't so much about adding any writing but mostly just a collage of images and I wanted it to be very layered and colorful and special because it was filled with images that I had been saving for a while and they were just perfect for this project and I liked the contrast between them and the colorful pages of the smashbook. I'm looking forward to doing more but here is what I have so far.

finding my style....romantic bohemian

I'm back writing at my sadly neglected blog and missing posting here and have been thinking that i would like to blog weekly to  encourage my creativity and share it here more often ....so the thing that i have been focusing on lately is creating my clothing style, i tend to like a variety but i am leaning toward what i am thinking of as romantic bohemian  and lots of loose layers.

so i have been cutting out and collecting pinterest images in my little notebook and writing out words that come to me....

i like my little closet and filling it with secondhand pretty finds and slowly building my little collection of pretty clothes, i have a couple of fun consignment shops nearby and then i also buy online at Thred up...

I hope to be back next week with more creative musings...hope everyone is having a lovely week!
