instachallenge 01 / fall color story
This funk I’ve been experiencing recently has got me thinking about inspiration. Ashley’s lessons in inspiration column has really changed the way I think about getting inspired. ( a must read! you can catch up on her posts here ) It has encouraged me to actively pursue inspiration away from my computer. Since staying inspired is part of my job as a designer + blogger, I can’t just sit around waiting for inspiration to strike.
Listening to others talk about what inspires them, it seems that the number one muse is color! That’s where this instagram challenge, or instachallenge, comes in. I challenge you to seek out inspiration through color during this fall season and share your inspiration with the community here! I encourage you to get creative with this; think beyond leaves! ;)
Use the hashtag #fallcolorstory to share the colorful things inspiring you this season. ( you can always go back and tag pictures you’ve already posted in the comments too! ) We’ll be rounding up our favorites here so be sure to check back!
I can’t wait to see what you guys come up with! :)

Creative funks are such a curse. You know I’m feeling like I’m in a bit of one too at the moment. Maybe change of season? Darker days?
I think you totally hit up on a plan of attack though, inspiration in beautiful, everyday things can help recharge and refresh. I’m thinking of embarking on a little non-computer based fall inspiration, getting out my water colours and trying some illustrating. Let you know if this leads to defunking :)
And thanks so much for the birthday wishes, your comment serious made my day :)

I’m never really sure what brings them on. I hope it passes for you soon though! Hopefully this little project will help! :)
You are so welcome!! And THAT makes my day :)
Aw, so honored! :)
Oh this is so great! I’ve totally been in a funk lately, too. You know… the kind that you’re so overwhelmed with work/life that there isn’t any time in between to be creative for the sake of creativity. I’m always on Instagram anyway so this would be such an easy way to rev up the inspiration in my life!
Such a great idea. I think it is so easy to sink into neutral colors during this time of the year, but I really want to try something new and zest up my closet with dark greens, mustard colors, burnt orange and navy. And tons of patterns, too.
YES me too! can’t wait to see what you come up with! love your new hair btw!
