Iris Apfel Inspiration

“If you can’t have fun, you might as well be dead.” @iris.apfel

Love her style! Inspiration is everywhere.

I had to share this spread, I love her big glasses and it is my colors! I have a selection of books that are so visually stimulating to boost creativity, this is one of my new favorites. I love all things digital, but there is something special about holding a printed piece.

... Read moreIris Apfel, a legendary figure in fashion, is known for her oversized glasses and bold style. Her philosophy, encapsulated in her quote, “If you can’t have fun, you might as well be dead,” resonates with those seeking joy in creativity. To cultivate inspiration, consider exploring visually stimulating resources, including art books that celebrate design and color palettes like red and teal. In today’s digital age, the tactile experience of print remains vital. Whether it’s the smell of ink or the feel of paper, printed pieces offer a unique way to engage with art. By integrating elements of personal expression, like the use of unique glasses as a fashion statement, individuals are encouraged to embrace their identity in their creative pursuits. Joining communities focused on design can further enhance these inspirations, creating a space where creativity thrives.

🌸💜 Happy Thursday, Friends! 💜🌸 Life has a funny way of keeping us on our toes. Just when everything seems lined up perfectly, something unexpected comes along and shifts the plan. 🌿 People enter our lives, some stay, some don’t. We experience joy, heartbreak, success, setbacks, and surprises

I did a monthly restock on food today!! Definitely a lot of places but all worth it for my babies :) The carrots and peas from petsmart were buy three get one free! The cat cans were buy one get two free! And the wicker ball was 10% off! So definitely saved a lot of money today:) #
