I do so much collaging in my sketchbooks that I have decided to start scanning the pages and posting them here on my blog. Lately I have been very inspired by jewelry on the runway since I started designing my own! But I am still always clipping pics of hot fashion, after all, a necklace or pair earrings has to be worn with the right outfit and I have to know what’s in! The fashion for this Fall is really exciting for me because big statement necklaces are in, as well as long chains. I will be posting more on Fall fashion soon, but for now, let’s take a look at some fashion from the last year mixed in with what’s in now. The things in my sketchbooks are still inspiring for me long after I paste them in. A good idea is a good idea and it is not always about trends! If your always following trends, or designing for them, then you are most likely copying ideas and it is good to ignore trends sometimes to fuel the pure creativity. Enjoy these snippets from my sketchbook!

This is from a year ago, but it puts me in the mood for Fall and I still love love love that hat!

Good bye to summer! I so love these one piece outfits. One day I’ll get one…

Some more looks from the summer that is coming sadly to an end. I love the combination of hot pink and turquoise! It makes me so happy.

Some more current looks. Plaid is big and I love those scarves with lots of fringe.

Big necklaces…totally sexy and visually powerful! Too bad they can be a pain to wear cause of their weight. Oh the sacrifices for fashion…

These pendants are enticing and I love their graphic style.

These necklaces are really inspiring to me. I love their geometry and the statement they make!

More statement jewelry. I also love this topless model with just a crazy big necklace on. It’s all about the jewelry and nothing else! I once saw an ad for a bag with a topless model standing next to it, and that made no sense to me, but here I think it’s clever.

Some of my inspiration with sketches. I am designing some big necklaces right now for my Etsy shop. Can’t wait to see the reaction!

Just a fun pairing of images…

That’s all folks!
