What sort of mood are you in…?

It’s handy that work has given me a bit more inspiration as to what to do with the white walls I have and the Ikea furniture to decorate (there’s something very sterile about flatpack furniture that I have to immediately clutter and mess up lest I kid myself thinking I’m in that annoying showroom area of Ikea where it’s impossible to escape from….).  The September moodboard that Nicola Formichetti and co and have come up with for the new issue of Dazed are blindingly everything….. it’s about "all things extreme, the bold and beautiful, vivid colour, outlandish designers, eccentric characters, photo distortion, superheroes, eclectism, and nostalgia"…. thus breaking the three-adjectives-in-a-sentence-rule.  Of course in true Dazed-style, nothing is really overly excessive and the actual editorials are quite slick.  Still, their moodboard suggests otherwise and I’ll gladly nick those adjectives and apply them to my own walls…. all in blue tak/pinboard fashion of course seeing as I’m not into displeasing landlords a week after moving in.

  1. I’m working on an “Inspiriation Board” and I’m going to call it “The Bulletin”. Yes, The Devil Wears Prada is the only fashion book i’ve ever read.

  2. Oh my goodness, that looks like my bedroom! I greatly encourage you to do that to your walls. There is nothing more inspiring than looking up and seeing 100 different things at once. It’s especially appropriate for you, Susie, because your style is so complex and faceted.
    Minimalism is so overrated!

  3. I love a good mood board. Now, if I could only get my spare room/study in order instead of using it as one giant wardrobe/storage room/ floordrobe, I might actually be able to put some up in there. Humph!

  4. I love moodboards, they really cool for getting ideas for a variety of looks. You see the moodboard and you more or less get the person.

  5. That is one mamouth moodboard – makes me want to go out and buy Dazed! Although maybe that was the point? haha. Moodboards are amazing, but they always take me so much longer than anyone else – I’m so precious with my magazines that I have to scan and print etc rather than cut!…foooooool.x

  6. that board is mega inspiring. must have taken ages to stick all those cut outs up. and i’m loving that the guy in the last pic has 100 studs stuck in his face.-ouch

  7. You look like Anna Sui or like a harajuku fan. Do people tell you that?
