Today I took a little walk to enjoy the warm weather and get some inspiration from nature. Things are still a bit brown, but there were a few colors starting to pop out. I snapped some pictures of interesting things I found and hope you will be inspired, too!

Since Halloween is approaching, and people seem to think black cats are spooky, I decided to use my little black cat Jette as my inspiration for this week's outfit. Classic, sleek, and a bit mysterious...

In honor of my birthday tomorrow :) I decided to go a little over the top with this week's outfit. Bring on the cake!

Snake print, black boots, and lots of cool silver jewelry... perfect for a rockstar. Or a rockstar wannabe :)

Last night I watched "Bringing Up Baby" with Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn, and I couldn't help but be inspired by the fashion. "Effortlessly glamorous" seems like an oxymoron, but Katharine somehow manages to pull it off.

As I mentioned previously, the mastermind group I'm a part of is led by Janice Hoffman, a career and lifestyle coach with Success is Sweetest. A couple of weeks ago I was able to get some one-on-one time with Janice, and let me just say that I am still feeling the energy and enthusiasm from our phone chats! She has been so encouraging and helps me put things in perspective with my business. She seems to know just the right questions to ask to get me thinking critically about various aspects of my business that I'm focusing on. She has also helped me figure out how I can optimize the things I already have in place. Her tips, "success principles", and excitement of "quick wins" will be things I know I will carry with me the rest of my life. Seriously, if you need someone to help you get your butt in gear in a fun, creative, and effective way, I highly recommend getting in touch with her!

This week I've been busy working on my inspiration board and designs for Spring 2012. Can't wait to start working on the pieces for this collection!

And just a few more pictures from yesterday's jaunt to the beach:
