Morning Ritual

Monday, April 18th, 2011

I hope you guys had a wonderful weekend! When I was making this post today, I was thinking about how other bloggers find ideas for their blog, especially if you blog often. Do you find it hard? Do you find it easy? I usually write down what I want to post for the week so that I don’t forget. But there are times where I just stare at my computer. Do you plan your posts in advance? Do you post on a whim? I would love to know! I like to imagine I’m waking up in my boyfriend’s oversized shirt and boxers! I think it’s very sexy! 1.Bruce II / Silk Button Front Blouse $380.00 (lagarconne.com) 2. Aerie Floral Boxer $11.62 (American Eagle Outfitters)Two of my favorite photos from an editorial called “Young Romantics” by Chelsea Millunchick. What I love most about is what Chelsea said about the story: “ This story is about young romantics, and that feeling you get when you first fall in love. It’s that special moment when two lovers first share this secret together and they feel as if they are the only two people alive in the world. It’s a wonderful sense of freedom and invincibility. Love is full of happy, quiet and intimate moments and it was important for me to capture all of these emotions”. I love both but the one from Etsy is just as cute and affordable! Left to right: EBONY CUFF WITH PAVΓ‰ DIAMOND OCTOPUS by Jessica Kagan Cushman $450o.00 (vivre.com), Golden Octopus Bracelet $22.00 (Friendlygesture from Etsy)My three favorite looks from Market HQ!
This is what I would be wearing if I were at Coachella! 1. Camel felt floppy hat $50.00 (Topshop) 2. Lace and crochet dress $230.00 (karenmillen.com) 3. Alexandra Beth Gold Lion Leather Bracelet $115.00 (maxandchloe.com) 4. Lampe Sandals $60.00 (Aldoshoes.com) 5. AGENETE Sweater $295.00 (Theory.com) 6. Poppy Peace Sign Pendant Leather Necklace $88.00 (coach.com) 7. super sunglasses people $154.00 (Madewell.com 8. Sierra Bag Canvas $330.00 (needsupply.com) 9.Barbara Bui Suede ankle boot $418.00 (shopsavannahs.com) 10. Moto Red Cut Off Hot Pants $55.00 (Topshop.com)Have a happy day! xoxoxoxoo

    Finding inspiration for blogs is a pretty interesting topic. My inspiration level swings with my moods–when I’m super happy and have a lot going on in my life I have no trouble finding things to post about. But when I’m sad or lonely and there’s not much happening (hence I also have more spare time) i’m annoyingly at a loss for what to post. It’s cool how you plan out what you’ll post for the week! I wish I could be that organized. Sometimes when a special holiday or month is coming up, I’ll think “oh it’s Valentines Day, i need a v-day post” or something along those lines. I adore these flowy bohemian looks! Gorgeous!

  2. Cindy says:

    The great thing is we can dress like it’s Coachella even when it’s not! Cool post!

  3. marilyn says:

    I love waking up in my boyfriend’s shirt too, they are the best shirts ever, too bad they don’t make the same for woman. I like the octopus ring too, it’s really cool.
    I don’t prepare my post in advance though I try really hard, but I am so poorly organize that I always forget what I wanted to do in the first place. I think it’s easier for me to do things as they come to me ^^

  4. Bonnie says:

    My inspiration comes solely from my own awesomeness.
    And from the millions of fashion emails I receive every day.

    iLove crisp white tops #CLASSIC

  6. For me, finding stuff to post about depends on my mood πŸ™‚ It depends if something exciting happened or if my days were blah. But most of the time, I don’t plan it out and just sit/ stare at my computer until something pops up! haha good for you that you plans yours out and never seem to run out of things to say πŸ˜€
    I adore the Octopus cuff!

  7. re: ah oui, it is! i kind of got a thing for paris lately, someday i plan on moving there and study economics or something else i’ll never use and have coffee and croissants every day. if that ever happens i will be dressed like that!
    thanks for the comment!

    this was a great post, it made me happy! i’m so glad you linked your blog, i’m definitely coming back!
    i usually feel way to creative and have to do something about it before i go crazy bananas, i sit down by my computer and thousands of ideas pops in to my head. i think i should start writing them down like you, it is hard to keep track on everything.
    have a great day! x Victoria

  8. Megan says:

    Ahhh I wish I were at Coachella! Love the octopuses and long dresses :). I am always writing stuff down to blog about that I think up during the day, I never really blog unless I have a good idea.

    Cheers!

  9. MM says:

    It is not so difficult to find my inspiration! It depend on the mood I have that day, what I read, what I see on TV, what makes me happy at work, what I talk with my friends… Great post!!! Love the octopus bracelet!!

  12. Great picts! Hope you had a great weekend too!
    Blogging often is not very easy for me, because i always want to post my own photos and I often don’t have the time to take pictures… And moreover, i miss time…
    But i would like to most more often!^^

    Hi, Shin! Hope you had a great weekend. If I find something interesting and I want to elaborate the subject I plan the post in advance. There are certain issues I want to write about and I write them down, do a little research and when I feel inspired enough I just write the post. But I also post on a whim, I come across something I find beautiful or interesting and I just have to post it. And there are times when I just stare at the computer, not knowing what to begin with or what to write about. And then I know I just have to take a break. πŸ™‚ Wishing you a wonderful week! xoxo

  15. Wiebke says:

    thank you very much for your nice comment! πŸ™‚

    thank you!! love the pictures:)

  18. yeah its true! πŸ™‚
    best wishes x

  19. Nice findings.To answer your first question: The fashion-ID blogposts are based on profound studies, so we do write them in a longterm run. But posts of other categories, I write it mostly spontanously, what I think could be of interest and on trend.

    I am get my inspirations from TV, fashion magazines and from other bloggers. But my looks-post I do post spontaneously,not always but sometimes !!

  21. Susie says:

    Hi, Shin!
    Yes, I had an amazing weekend! Lots of things to do, but very productive! And how was your?
    I think the exciting process of creating posts! I research a lot of things and when something attracts me since I will prepare new posts. I like to do everything in advance, but if there is something more interesting in the meantime, put there first! And you?
    I loved the pictures for inspiration! Perfect!
    It’s so nice when we have a love … can not wait to find mine, hehehe
    I really liked the post!
    G’day!

    First of all, really nice post! – I usually think about a post-idea at the same day as I write it, but sometimes I sit down and write some ideas for some posts days – and weeks before it happens.

    xx

  24. I love all the pictures =) I schedule my blogs in advance (usually 3 in advance). Being a mom, it’s easier for me to get other things done that way. I do get stumped sometimes when trying to think of what to blog. Then I take a step back and just look around my house to see what is pretty, comforting, or funny to me and blog about that until I get a burst of inspiration =)

    Hi!! nice selection of outfits!! I love the octopus, hahaha
    kisses!!

  26. Very Married says:

    Sometimes when I see something I wanna blog about I’ll email the link to my blog gmail account. Or, i’ll go ahead and write about it then and just time the post for a different day. But then, most days, if I can’t think of something to write within about 5 min, I just say screw it, i’m not writing anything today.
    I’d love to see what everyone else says. You should do a post about that.

  28. Clare says:

    Love these photos! And yes, I do find it hard to come up with good blog ideas. Sometimes I get blog burn out and I don’t even feel like blogging because I don’t have any ideas haha.

  29. I love the octopus bracelets! As for blogging, a try to jot down topics that interest me then let the day inspire what I post about. I wish I was more organized and planned posts in advance πŸ™‚

  30. Kristi says:

    ohh such adorable pics those with that couple! The ring was fab, i want something like that for me! Well to be honest I feel totally like you, there are days when I want to post more than one blog a day, but there are also days where I have nothing to post, it looks like forever! I guess everybody has times like mines! I am not used to write what I have in mind in one moment so that I can post it later, that’s a great idea! Thank you for that and for the lovely comment! New post in my blog:

  33. yajaira says:

    I never run out of ideas to blog – there’s always something in our everyday life that we can blog about
    there’s always something new in stores
    there’s always fashion news
    there’s always something
    Events

    So it’s really easy..
    Is mostly about finding time everyday to dedicate to blogging..

  34. Sienna says:

    definitely wish i were at coachella right now! i usually plan my posts a day in advance and just figure out a rough idea of what i want to write about πŸ™‚

  38. I have a full-time job so I usually write at least 2 posts at the weekend then schedule them for the following week so that if I’m too busy my blog isn’t completely neglected!

    I love your imaginary Coachella outfit ^_^

  39. Dewi says:

    Nice clothes/outfit!I really like the accessories.
    I always post the things I found/made at the same day XD
    but nowadays I write all ideas in a notepad.. so I will not forget.
    Hope to write posts in advance, that would be great!

  47. She is Sara says:

    I love your Coachella looks! I have a hard time too. I have some posts in drafts waiting to be posted but then something else comes up that I want to share. Or I disappear for a week and feel that I need to do an update. A lot of mine get posted out of order πŸ˜›

  48. First of all, what great post to start the week. Second, I love your Coachella selection.

  49. Becca says:

    You know – sometimes I’m just brimming with blog inspiration and other weeks I’m not. Luckily since we do a lot of outfits – I can just take a picture of what I’m wearing and call it a post! Also – I love those octopus cuffs – they’re so unique and quirky.

  50. Hello!

    Very interesting post. I’m always reading a lot of blogs. For me some times is dificult to thing about something to post about, but in some days is very easy. When I got a little more time I plan what I’m going to post in all week and I let all safe to not forget.

    What a wonderful post! As always πŸ™‚
    I really like the romantic editorial, I love the concept of love. It’s… BIG, magic.. but at the same time is..desperate.. when you love so much a boy who loves you but.. for some thought he doesn’t want to stay with you…but he loves you..!
    You know.. I understand but at the same time I don’t understand..
    BTW.. πŸ™
    I create my blog looking the Tavi’s blog long time ago (it was, I think, november 2009), I had one but I closed it because I didn’t like it, so in January 2010 I opened my Airali’s Passion.
    I don’t want it is an outfit blog, I’m studying fashion design and I want to talk about it and then about other things like travels, my passions, photography..
    Only in november 2010 I started to write with constance and I’ve seen the results πŸ™‚
    Sometimes is very hard to write, I’d want to talk about..all the fashion world but in the end I talk about nothing… It’s very difficult because I’d like that my blog will become serious, you know.. I want people who read my blog because they can’t find in internet what I write because is my original idea.. I’d like to do this at better..
    I don’t organize my post, I like to write when I’m inspired πŸ™‚

    A lot of kisses!

  53. Love your choice of bag for coachella….I want it. xo

    Ohh I love the lampe Sandals & the red shorts!
    Good Q I am always curious as to how bloggers put together their blogs.
    Like you I write down ideas on a post-it or in my diary. I try to take all my snaps at the weekend – in winter its usually dark by the time I get in from work – but I am looking forward to the long summer evenings – so much more time to blog x

  55. sam says:

    It’s a little bit of both, sometimes a post can just linger there for a bit while I take days to work on it, and sometimes I already know exactly what I wanna write!

    Love all the pictures in here! πŸ™‚

    so many pretty things in one post! love both octopus cuffs! xx

  57. Cinz says:

    Great topic indeed~! Hm…i find inspirations from fashion mags, fashion websites, or sometimes as cheating as it sounds, i get inspirations from other fashion bloggers (yes, that includes you too gorgeous,hehe)!!! But i guess mood has a lot to do with it (as in what i’m feeling) or if i had a fun outin or a great beauty/fashion purchase or gift, then i’ll blog about that! like my tiff braclet,lol

    And good job on you for being so organized with your blog posts. In fact, you just gave me an idea to organize my blog posts in advance too. Then again, i’m sucha lazy cow and procastinator, so i’ll see if it actually happens,lol. But i have to admit, i utterly hate it when i got those stare at the screen blankly days…then i just decide to not blog that day cuz i don’t feel like just postin anything that is rubbish or something that obviously shows that the post was done due to lack of creativity, time, and thinking….LoL…But ya know what i mean right? hm…that’s just what i think=D

  58. I have a personal style blog, so my inspiration is all about what will I dress that day. Well, I think it depends on my mood, but off course I get inspiration from other fellow bloggers, from the street fashion…and from everything I love. Have a great week Shin!

  59. The “Young Romantics” pictures are simply gorgeous!! As for blog post ideas, outside the film reviews it can be hard to think of what to write about. I typically relate those posts to what I do in my life generally but it’s hard to remember to document it when it happens. : )

  60. Sarah says:

    wonderful post! The bag from your Coachella outfit is divine1 xx

  61. Christel says:

    Hey there πŸ™‚
    With my blog posts – they are generally at the moment to do with my current outfits, which I am able to upload frequently as I am currently on holidays so I have so much time on my hands!
    Anyway, for other posts I pretty much think up of something during the day and note the idea until I can write it all out.

    I am absolutely in LOVE with the gold octopus bracelet! I hate octopuses but that is just gorgeous πŸ˜›
