Inspiration Nation: Printed Peaks

As I continue to think about Printed Peaks and its future I think to a fall collection. Fall reminds me of beautiful colors exploding on the mountain sides of Vermont. I have been inspired by a few items in particular that I felt necessary to share with you. 

If you've already flipped through the J.Crew July magazine you probably stumbled upon Jenna's Picks and the idea of pairing more classic looks while adding a slight edge. The looks include the classic bandana pattern, sailor stripes, denim and black fringed booties. And anything looks effortlessly cooler with spikes, of course. Eddie Borgo is now selling with J.Crew and I really love his cone spiked jewelry. A little out of my league price wise but drool worthy nonetheless.

While looking through Etsy I stumbled upon the most lovely bow lo bolo tie. I really love the bolo look and lets just say that it has really inspired me for my next collection. What do you think of bolo ties?

I've been wearing my yellow lace crop top a lot and I absolutely adore the color and the shapes of the lace. It's not totally typical. I would love to try to paint through some beautiful lace on wood. I also picked a fern while at a local lake and thought I could make a nice pattern by using it as a stamp on my wooden pieces.

These colors really make me think of a fall wooden horizon along with the pop of the cool blue grey adds a bit of edge. Warm and cool colors together beautifully. 

These are some aspects that have been inspiring me most lately and I'm hoping that I will be able to carry out most of my ideas with a fall collection. I would love to sell all the items within my first collection before starting my fall collection and am offering 15% off and free domestic shipping!

Thanks for stopping by and listening to my ramblings of inspiration! I appreciate that many of you continue to stop in day after day or even week after week! You make me so happy!

"Amazing Things Will Happen"

Lately I've been working pretty hard at creating a blog life (and working hard in general) I think it is really important to recreate yourself through your blog as best as you can. My blog definitely has gone through some changes since I started but with anything change happens especially as you grow. I feel like I have grown within the almost 6 months (in August) since this blog has started. I think more and more the blog is starting to better represent me. What better way to really celebrate change than a new banner?! My sweet boy really helped me out one day and we really tried to get a picture for a new banner, isn't he nice? Here are some photos I liked but that didn't make the cut:

And here is the winner before I edited it!!

Here are some photos of the necklace I'm wearing in my banner. I made it for myself because I knew I would be sad when all my necklaces sold, but now I won't!

A big thank you to my pal CB for buying the Printed Peaks ombre Skye necklace! And to my best friend Laura from home for buying the dark stained chain fringe stark necklace! Check out the rest of the styles! I think you may find a favorite!

I've been working on so many things lately that I feel like I have a lot to tell you and here are a few:

I have ombre hair now! I did it myself and it is faint but I may take it up a notch very soon!

I am going to a wedding this weekend of a dear friend! 

I have been making labels for gift bags for another wedding (hand drawing/painting)

I have been making clothes!

I will have to give you more of the scoop next week!

Thanks for stopping in, I appreciate your company oh so much!
