The Dream Enchantress is a fantasy tarot deck, either done with watercolors or done in a style intended to imitate watercolors. Most or all of the people in the deck are female, or at best, androgynous – this might put some people off, but I think it looks like a fascinating ethereal deck. Check out…

A Traveller’s Tale
One day, you’ll go someplace a little…different. Crawl through a door that goes nowhere, perhaps. Or maybe under a tree. You might not want to eat the food. It’s been known not to sit well. See a circus. Know things aren’t what they seem. Come back home. And then you’ll wonder… Was it all a dream? I’ve been thinking…
Tarot Inspiration: Deviant Moon
I’ve been getting back into tarot again, after several years – I gave it a shot when I was younger and didn’t find it worked very well for me. I’m giving it another go with some less traditional, more intuitive decks and having much better luck this time around – along with having a newfound…
5 Movies to Watch for Their Aesthetic
Movies are a huge source of inspiration for me, style wise. The first time I saw Moulin Rouge, I was absolutely dumbstruck by the sheer…awesomeness of it all.

So! Now that we’ve discussed how to get a rough concept and figuring out what your wardrobe essentials are, we’re going to discuss what is the logical next step (to me, anyways!): using your inspiration. You should have had some time now to build up an inspiration folder or think about movies that inspire you….
Defining Your Personal Style, Part One: The Concept
Defining personal style can be an intensely difficult thing to do. For some people it comes very easily, for others, not so much. If you’ve spent every day for the last several years just throwing on whatever is comfortable in the morning, it can be pretty challenging to start actually thinking about your clothing choices….
Making an Inspiration Board
No, not one with Polyvore or Picasa – those are for wimps! We’re talking a real, get your hands dirty (or at least, covered in rubber cement), paper-and-scissors inspiration board. Oh yeah. This is great for two reasons: 1: If you’re a compulsive magazine hoarder like me, this gives you a chance to give them…
Mmm eye candy
Looking around on Flickr…(pictures are clickable) Makes me miss my mohawk a little! And here is another one, that won’t seem to let me grab the image source, but it is too awesome to pass up. Enjoy!
