Inspiration Books


I used to have a huge box filled with pages from magazines. I would rip out pages of clothes i liked or wanted to buy, makeup looks i wanted to try and hairstyles i loved. But the problem was, i'd take them out, throw them in a little pink box and never look at them again. So my 'inspiration box' as i liked to call it, wasn't really any use. One day, i thought, why don't you just stick the things you cut out into little books. It's the simplest, yet most effective idea and can't believe i didn't think of it sooner. Now i just pick up my little book and have a flick now and again. If i see a makeup look i like, i can try it that day, easy :) it's not a very original idea and i'm sure a bajillion other people in the world do this, but hey, i thought i'd share it with you anyways.
I have currently made two books. One is for makeup, fashion and beauty ideas, and the other is for interior inspiration. I am absolutely in love with decorating and interior design has always interested me. So here's my 'inspiration' books. The one on the bottom is the inside of the interior one, and on top is the front cover of the makeup and fashion one.

How to make your own book...
All you need:
Heaps of magazines (as you can tell, Cosmopolitan is my favourite)
A book which you can cover in pictures
Scissors and Glue

Cut out the pictures you want and make a cute front cover, then you are ready to add inspiration on the inside pages.
Let me know how you store inspiration and ideas from magazines :) do you just mark the pages or throw pages in a box? Or do you do what i do?
