5. Sit outside with a stack of your favorite magazines. Every Sunday afternoon, I spend hours ripping out beautiful or inspiring articles about fashion or whatever catches my eye.
4. Change your camera setting to black & white. Losing the color can also eliminate distractions, like the subjects’ clothes or the day’s weather, and keep focus on the particular moment captured. Also, don’t stop clicking. Photos of your family blinking, talking, crying, sneezing, turning around or walking away often make some of the most amusing and nostalgic memories.
3. Learn how to use the iPad!
2. Jazz up your summer look with a colorful Pucci scarf, stylish Repetto flats, a pair of flattering Ray-Ban sunglasses, or any of these great vintage fashion finds on eBay.
1. Create a space that you want to live in. Your home is like no other. Why not fill it with reminders, at every turn, that this is so?
