The Creative Cookie

Mood

One of my favorite things about My Fab Fashion Style File (my newest book) is that you can create your own mood boards! For those who don't know, a mood board is a type of collage that is meant to inspire creations and fashion designers often use them to help design their collection from season to season. Making a mood board is typically the 1st step in their creative process. Here's one of my latest boards, inside my book.

Oddly enough, this is actually how I feel right now -- I can't believe it's November already!
