changing seasons make me feel like doing things

When the weather starts mixing things up and I start to feel like I should follow suit. Here in Portland we're getting a lot of what the weatherguy calls 'wintery mix'... which is basically when the weather can't work out what the F it's doing and you get snow/rain/hail and bright sunshine all in one day. I like it and it makes me feel like doing things, and changing stuff... I feel like accumlating new hobbies and trying out new looks. This week, it's a ceramics class, a new love for hats, a bicycle (I have dreams of pedalling about the streets in heels this spring and have been shamelessly practising said skill in my living room) and blogging....

When it comes to being inspired each day I'm starting my day checking out inspiring blogs. I gave up PerezHilton for lent and forever and replaced it with The Sartorialist and Face Hunter - these photo's are more aspirational than any celebrity trash... and just like the picture of a fat woman in a bikini my mum had taped to the refrigerator when I was a kid, starting my day this way keeps me out of sweatpants and keeps me thinking outside the box....
