This is what inspires me.

It's kind of image heavy, might not be the best thing to browse at work - I don't know where you work. Maybe it'd be okay. I'm sort of making it up as I go along. A lot of it is from I-don't-know-where. Some are definitely lj and post secrets. Some are webcomics that probably have the addresses on them somewhere. Some are photographs that I probably wasn't allowed to take from wherever I found them. Sorry.



Entre Chien Et Loup
is a multi-layered expression. It is used to describe a specific time of day, just before night, when the light is so dim you can't distinguish a dog from a wolf. However, it's not all about levels of light. It also expresses that limit between the familiar, the comfortable versus the unknown and the dangerous (or between the domestic and the wild). It is an uncertain threshold between hope and fear.

















































I could explain everything, I guess, or I could let you get your own inspiration for it. I was only brave enough to post because of how much I loved looking at everyone else's inspirations. If you're thinking about posting yours and haven't yet, you definitely should!



I used to also have a folder for clothing-based inspiration, but I can't seem to find it. I'm a little sad - it must still be on my home computer. Does anyone like looking at those 'streetwear' sites and seeing what people go out and around in? Maybe you could recommend me some? Mostly that's what those pictures were from - anyone can dress extravagantly for a photoshoot, but I'd rather see how the person themselves wants to present themselves, you know?

I love these! The freckled girl is amazing. I am also definitely in love with the picture of the bridge that goes along with the Indigo Girls lyrics. I was wondering where I had heard them before, but then I sang them and I was like, "omg indigo girls" and it brought back such good memories of singing in the car with my mother.

Wonderful post!

I look at Garance Doré's streetstyle blog (besides The Sartorialist, which I think everyone knows about):
