Pictures to INSPIRE

There is a website that I frequently go to for my daily dose of fashion, art, craft, and simple living inspiration. There is so much out there to draw inspiration from and flick is definitely an awesome place to go. Check it out, set up an account, join some groups and get inspired...and upload your own photos and start inspiring others! Here are a few photos, out of almost 500, that I currently have on my favorites list on flickr! Enjoy!

Lykke Li-one of my favorite new artists!

So I was at work and my boss had just added some new songs to the work mix and one of Lykke Li's songs came up, "Little Bit"...and I fell in love! 

Check out a couple of her videos;

My Heart Belongs To: Jenny Lewis

For me, music is my number one love, with fashion following a close second. Thus, I like to observe the way they inform eachother. For instance, when a band or group gains popularity, you see a hundred fans looking like baby clones of the band, wearing the same clothes, walking with the same swagger (see: Emo revolution). Alternatively, people get into music and construct their own fashion ideals based on their ethics they are often writing about (see: the beginnings of Punk). Whichever it is, they are certainly linked, for the modern world and especially for me.

My absolute favorite musician also happens to be my favorite fashionista, and that is the sweetfaced Jenny Lewis. 

As she continues to delve deeper into her incredible solo project (Acid Tongue debuts on the 23rd of this month!), she also continues to posess this unexplained sassy and daring way of dress that ladies can only hope to achieve. Often mixing current trends with her own staples, Lady Lewis presents herself in plenty of folk inspired vintage with an enviable classic feel that makes you believe she belongs beside Bob Dylan during the folk revival in the late 60's. Check her out:

This lady has got the look. And the voice. Check her out on the 23rd and in the meantime, search for her previous records that could move you like they moved me.
