Sometimes I'll flick through and remove things that no longer appeal...the images are not so much looks that I'll copy but more general trends of styles that speak to me. </p> <p>I googled 'making a vision board' and read this interesting tip: if you flick through the magazine upside down, your analytical brain gets bypassed so you register your (right brained?) response...sometimes a colour or pattern will pop out at you that in it's 'logical' context didn't appeal. One day I will build up to posting an outfit and corresponding inspiration..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/look-books#post-207348 Sun, 29 Aug 2010 04:36:34 +0000 Sally 207348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I started a new lookbook today.....my 4 and half year old joined me ...he was cutting out his pictures....looking at all the looks I like, it was very illuminating. I actually do not need to buy any more clothes! but I have to buy accessories which I have never concentrated on doing... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/look-books#post-207242 Sat, 28 Aug 2010 21:45:39 +0000 April 207242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sally -- I started keeping a "look book" of any style I saw in a magazine or catalogue that appealed to me. I was (am) trying to get a handle on my personal style, so I just cut out anything I like and paste it in to look for patterns. From looking at the pictures in my book, for example, it became really clear to me that I love structured jackets. Not sure I would have been able to make that statement without seeing it reflected in those pages. </p> <p>I include interior design in addition to clothing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/look-books#post-207235 Sat, 28 Aug 2010 21:14:07 +0000 Sally 207235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm on a roll today.......I've got clothes on my mind. I have heard of lookbooks and wonder what they are. Do you keep a look book? What does it include?</p> <p>Some years ago when I was single and flatting, I lived with another girl. We had a spare few hours, a bottle of wine and a heap of magazines in our place. I came up with this idea that we would create a style scrapbook for each other and we couldn't look at our own till we had finished. Basically she cut out clothes, haircuts and styles that she thought would suit me and personified me and I did the same for her. It was really enlightening because I think she saw me clearer than I saw myself, and gave me ideas that I wouldn't have thought of. I have since added to it. She was an artist and gave me the idea of keeping a visual diary. </p>
