Style Inspirations: Wes Anderson

I have long been a fan of Wes Anderson's quirky stories and brightly colored sets, cinematography, and eclectic styling in his movies.   There is something so terrific about the level of attention to detail in so many scenes in Moonrise Kingdom, the Grand Budapest Hotel, and The Fantastic Mr. Fox, and I adore them all so much!  

I feel that the visual caliber of these movies is a big inspiration to me, and they often float through my head while daydreaming.  Here are some of my favorite movie stills / art from his movies!

Tied with a Bow

For the most part, I am fairly skilled at being self-starting and keeping myself productive and entertained for hours and days of alone time — I'm not sure if it comes from being an only child or just simply from being an introverted creative person.   But most days, I'm able to wake up, get pumped for the day, and go through my tasks that I've planned myself— and I've been doing that for the last 2 1/2 years or so since I started working on my Etsy shop and blog mostly full time.

Brunch It! Eggs Benedict Two Ways

     

One of my favorite breakfasts is the classic Eggs Benedict.   Anytime I am out for breakfast and I see it on a menu, nothing else has a shot at being the thing I order.  There's just something about that poached egg and hollandaise that just clinches it for me.  

So I thought I'd kick off spring with a food post about eggs benedict!  

Best Staple Investment Piece, Hands Down

There is one staple piece that I will always recommend to have in a wardrobe outside of your typical pair of jeans or leggings — those pieces that just pull everything else in your closet together and are an understated but important thing to have to make everything else work.
