{inspiration folders}

I spent a little time playing the other night while watching one of my favorite films in French with English subs, called Priceless or the French title Hors de prix. I highly recommend the film, by the way. Lovely. So while watching the film I busily cut images from a stack of magazines that I've been reserving for playtime -- a stack of mostly design mags from the U.S. and Germany. I enjoy putting tear sheets and other papers and a tiny dash of ribbon into basic file folders, I've shared my folders with you before if you recall... (see here).

I like how these came out, the colors from blue to lime to tangerine, all really speak to me right now. I especially love the pretty blouses and sweaters shown, they're from American clothing company J.Crew. I love putting these folders together because they make me happy. That's quite simply the best explanation I can come up with. :) (photos: holly becker)
