If you didn't know that Summer is my all-time favourite season, then did you really know me?
No. No you do not.
As you can imagine, the end of February marks a very sad time for my Summer loving self. It marks the end of carefree nights and deep tans. Of cute tanks and strappy sandals. Of ripe, juicy fruits and frozen cocktails. It basically marks the end of my life, let's be real.
At the start of every new season, I like to create a sort of mood board. The Autumn board is always the most important. It acts to remind me that although Summer is over, Autumn still holds the promise of beautiful things:
| Gnocchi with mushrooms and feta | Burgundy lips |
| Copper smoky eye | Boho top knots | Roasted butternut risotto |

I love the idea of creating a seasonal mood board! This is sparking some interesting ideas for me!
ReplyDeleteI love your inspiration board - fall is my favorite season! Not so fond of the summer heat! It never ceases to amaze me that seasons are the other way around in Australia then they are here! Hope you had a wonderful summer!
ReplyDeleteI love this board. Fall is amazing Im kind of jealous since we are going into spring where I live. I sometimes forget that the southern hemisphere's seasons are opposite of ours.

I like your board! Autumn is a great season. I'm one of those people who love pumpkin flavored stuff so I'm always a fan of autumn because of that ;)
ReplyDeleteI love your autumn mood board. It's an optimistic approach to the season. Although your summer is coming to an end, it is the beginning of something else!

Fall is my favorite season too. The weather, apple picking, scarfs, boots, colors, everything!!
ReplyDeleteI love fall the best, I think! Summer can get a little too hot for me and I love the colors changing in the fall!
ReplyDeleteAlready thinking about autumn?! I am just getting started thinking about spring and summer!

Mood boards are so great! They can get you excited for something you're otherwise not excited about. Love your board!
ReplyDeleteI think after seeing your board I will make a monthly board. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI was honestly so confused when I first read this because we're headed into spring on this side of the world. Great inspiration regardless!
ReplyDeleteGreat mood board, it sums up autumn perfectly! I have to start these so I can look forward to seasons!
ReplyDeleteI love that lip and eye color. All of the inspiration is gorgeous. We are moving into spring were I live. The weather is so warm these days.
ReplyDeleteI forget our seasons in the US are opposite for Australia's! I'm definitely with you on the OTK and chunky sweaters! I actually wear that a lot year round because of the weather here in foggy San Francisco!
ReplyDeleteHave a good one!

In my house we are ready for Spring. 3 weeks to go and we're excited. I loved autumn but I'm over Winter.
ReplyDeleteI love that you create mood boards for each season. Your Autumn board is really pretty.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea and here it's almost spring and we r all waiting for summers.
ReplyDeleteOh dear i love your autumn mood board! Is that a Burberry scarf?
ReplyDeleteI love all of your great colors here. Autumn is one of my favorite seasons as well.
ReplyDeleteAha I'm glad I've inspired you. :) I love creating a mood board to help get me in the mood (yadon't say) for a new season. :) x
ReplyDeleteAha the fact that our seasons are flipped trips me out too. I sure did love Summer, but this board has me excited for Autumn. :) x
ReplyDeleteAha it's a weird thought that we have completely opposite seasons. You should come to Australia and experience Autumn, and I'll take your place over there through Spring. :P x
ReplyDeleteYou're going to be so disappointed in me.. but I've never had a pumpkin spice latte. They're not really a 'thing' here in Australia, but I'm DETERMINED to find one this season! x
ReplyDeleteAww a new beginning. I like that. :3 Thanks for the pick-me-up. :) x
ReplyDeleteI think I'm the most excited for scarves and boots! :) x
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree with you on the colour change. We have some pretty cool native trees here in Australia that look amazing in the Autumn. x
ReplyDeleteHaha I live in Australia, so it's the first day of Autumn today. :P I'm jealous that you're going in to Spring/Summer, and I'm coming out. :( x
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely helped amp me up about Autumn. Thanks, Melissa. :) x
ReplyDeleteI'm all about mood boards. Glad I inspired you, girl. :) x
ReplyDeleteAha I know. It's super weird that our seasons are opposite. Majority of the blogs I follow are U.S. based, so I'm always feeling left out when it comes to seasonal posts. :P x
ReplyDeleteI definitely recommend mood boards for new seasons. :) Especially the one that you don't usually enjoy. For me, that's Winter. x
ReplyDeleteAren't they pretty?! I'm jealous that you're coming in to Spring. Sigh. x
ReplyDeleteI feel you on the Winter thing, girl. Definitely my least favourite season. x
ReplyDeleteThanks, girl. I love creating a pretty collage to help get me in the mood for a new season. :) x
ReplyDeleteOh man I wish I could have another Summer. :( x
ReplyDeleteThanks, Blair.
ReplyDeleteIt sure is! I love that particular style of Burberry scarf - so cute. :) x
Thanks, David. I'm glad you like it. :) x
ReplyDeleteLooks great!

I love this inspiration board. I'm going to creat me one for summer and fall. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSeasonal mood board looks interesting. Never tried it before
ReplyDeleteIt trips me out every time. :P
ReplyDeleteYesss! You're so lucky! I'm obsessed with the boots and chunky sweater combo, but it's usually too hot to wear it here, even in Winter. x
Thanks, love. x
ReplyDeleteYasss! I'm all about inspiration boards. I'd love to see yours. :) x
ReplyDeleteI love me a good mood board. :P
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by. x
