Какво ти е нужно:

Vision board DIY - how to make?

Creating a vision board is a great way to start off the year right as it gives you a clear and beautifully represented idea of all your inspirations and goals. What makes a vision board really great is how useful it can be in helping you achieve your dreams.

Here’s what you need:

  • beautiful pictures/photographs

  • some paper and pen to write if you’d like to

  • board for notes or a big cardboard

The aim of a vision board is to help you plan your whole year, decide what you want to achieve and get you into the right mindset, with positivity and faith - for success so that all goes well.

What to do:

  • define the most important areas of your life - health, education, relatinships, hobbies, job, sports etc. according to your priorities and interests - to make this easier you might write them down on the paper

  • choose pictures/photos that represent your plans and dreams and what you’d like to happen to you during the year

  • make sure you have at least one picture suitable for each life area you define

  • arrange in a creative way in a collage all the pictures or photographs and then put the finished vision board somewhere where you’ll be seeing it often, this way you’ll often get reminded where you’re headed

Good luck creating your vision board & hope it will help you be happy and make all your dreams come true.

SEPTEMBER - mood board: MORE OF SUMMER

As autumn is tip-toeing around us trying to come closer and closer although we still don’t want it, we seem to be firming our desperate grasp holding on to summer while the breeze is trying to take it away from us as easy as it does it to our favourite towel on the beach. We drink our coffee hotter and we wait longer for the sunrise. And this sweet smell of autumn comes back to the city together with our old love for delicate cashmere sweater and scarves.

However, it ain’t no autumn in our hearts. Not yet! We are going on litte weekend getaways and still wearing our summer clothes. We want more summer days and summer nights. And that’s why I’ve dedicated my September monthly mood board to the topic MORE OF SUMMER. And I’ll share some pictures - warm, suave, favourites of mine, ones that will give you more of the summerish mood and the great feeling of salty skin combined with crashing waves and proseco. Viva el verano!

I want to thank all the amazing people that took and generously shared those beautiful shots on Instagram, especially because they all often bless our feeds in this magical way. Long live this summerish mood and may autumn come late.

СЕПТЕМВРИ - Инстаграм mood board: ОЩЕ ЛЯТО

С колебливото наближаване на леко нежеланата есен, все по-силно държим лятото за развяните му от плажния брис ъгълчета, а вятърътсе опитва да го издърпа от нас, като кърпа на пясъка. Пием кафето си все по-горещо, а изгрева чакаме все по-дълго. Връща се онзи сладък мирис на есен и онази леко забравена обич към тънките кашмирени пуловери и меките шалове.

Но в душата още не е есен. Още ходим на малки уикенд пътешествия и още носим летните си дрехи. Искаме още летни дни и още летни нощи. И този септември посвещавам mood board-а за месеца на темата ОЩЕ ЛЯТО. Ето и малко топли, любими кадри, които да ви създадат късно лятно настроение и да запазят чувството за солена кожа, леки вълни и просеко. Viva el verano!

Благодаря за страхотните кадри на прекрасните хора, които ги щракнаха и споделиха с нас в Instagram, както и затова, че редовно правят своята фото магия и превръщат фийдовете ни във вдъхновението на вдъхновенията. Пожелавам ви още лятно настроение и есента да забави пристигането си повечко.

Inspiration time

I’d like to share with you a small moment filled with inspiration that is part of my favorite self tradition - to take some me time and get recharged and inspired. And what inspires me? Art, always. It could be a drawing, movie, song, photograph, also a magazine page with some kind of innovative graphic design composition or a great piece of writing. It could even be a nice fragrance or a great fashion item especially when I’m watching a runway show because so much design work and ideas and creativity is put in literally any product or project - it’s astonishing. Basically art inspires me to make more art. And it’s a vicious circle of art that I adore.

I usually use my days off work to enjoy and explore quality art and also create some pieces of my own. Last week was no exception and I made my best to devote time to my favorite things. And here are some photos I’d like to share with you.

I have been in love with Vogue magazine since forever. I remember when I was very little and couldn’t read the articles but I loved flipping through my mom’s magazines and getting lost in the beauty of the photographs.

Chanel is a brand I truly love. It’s minimalistic classy concept, the strong women image they represent and empower, Coco’s eternal style, Karl’s new wave of trends - just everything! Whenever I am looking for some fashion inspiration, I know I can trust Chanel in everything. Just look at their couture collections and ads, pure perfection.

David Bowie is one of my favorite artists ever and the reason I say artist is because this man is literally a complete Universe of his own - form his music to his style choices and concept album work and stories, definitely a remarkable individual.

And the best way for me to arrange the inspo space was to add a bit of a mood board feeling with the photos. If you’ve been following me and my blog for some time, you already know that I am a big fan of mood boards. Well that’s because having a visual atmosphere builder that sets the mood is always welcomed and in this case the retro vibe sure is strong.

This actually resulted in me writing two rather jazzy songs which are not my usual style and made me feel that I am broadening my songwriting choices which I find amazing. Hopefully some songs are going to be ready for you soon because I already cannot wait to share them. 🖤

How about you? What inspires you? Do you enjoy creating art and of yes, what type of art?

Mood boards! Yes, one of my favorite things and something I promised to write a post about. I love mood boards, I create ones pretty often, I always have a monthly one and I love to share them on social media because they are just so cool!

My favorite place for inspiration is ...(drumroll) the Internet! :D, especially Pinterest. It's a very organized and high quality content website and it's really easy to get lost there scrolling through beautiful pictures board after board.

I basically create 3 types of mood boards.

#1 Monthly mood boards: According to the season, upcoming holidays, my mood or what projects I'm currently working on, I choose up to 10 photos that I feel represent the vibe of the month. They mights be photographs, works of art, abstract drawings ot patterns etc. I often also include some fave quotes and song lyrics, album covers and movie/video screencaps.

#2 Themed mood boards: These are actually my fave because I'm one of those people who have lots of hobbies and interest in various areas so I often feel inspired by random different things. That's why I choose a simple theme for my mood board: a color, aesthetic, art or music genre , some fave brands, artist or time period etc. This allows me to combine really different images and make the mood board interesting. And right after I've chosen my theme I go searching for the most expressive images that represent it and I think would look good next to each other.

#3 'Current mood' mood boards: A lovely idea that I'm happy I came up with I think a few years ago. You know how sometimes a new trend comes along and everybody loves it for a few months? Or sometimes you are in a period of loving a definite singer or band and listening to their music on repeat? This is a great chance for creating a 'current mood' mood board including all those things that are exclusive inspiring and exciting for you right now.

How it's done: a.k.a. The practical DIY part

I think it's best to have the photos printed because what our brains love the most and find the most impressive is 'touchable' images. You can just print them and cut each one out so that you can organize them on a wall near your desk/work space. You could also hook them on a string/strings and turn them into decor pieces. Or you can create a photo collage to print and frame. There are many useful apps, programs and websites for that - plus even Word can do the job for you if you're not into working with new software. Cool thing is you can also use this photo collage as a wallpaper for your phone, tablet or computer. Thus you'll be able to bring inspiration everywhere.
