The IDEAS Journal
Fashion, Decor, Opinions, & More!
Hello there!
Today marks the decline of one thing, and the rise of another. In the coming weeks, I will stop printing my (still very young) creative project, The IDEAS Booklet. It’s been a blast to build, and I’m very pleased with the work I accomplished. Organizing content, choosing products to feature, drawing fashion designs, and sharing written ideas for various cultural issues, has been very rewarding. That’s why I’m not giving up on that achievement. It’s just moving to a different format with a few minor changes.
So what will this be?
This journal will be my personally curated and artistically presented mix of women’s fashion, accessories, home goods, and whatever else happens to catch my eye. I’ll also be sharing my own fashion sketches and illustrations since I’m still somewhat attached to my former career as a dressmaker.
Most of what you’ll see will be organized into issues, which will unfold over a series of posts rather than all at once. In between these posts, you’ll receive my opinion on random topics that I have something to say about. These short essays won’t belong to any particular issue, which is why I’ll send them out whenever inspiration strikes.
While the heart of each issue will stay the same, they’ll take on their own look, tone, and rhythm, offering a fresh experience every time.
My print editions have ranged from colorful maximalism to black-and-white minimalism. It’s so much more fun assembling an issue when there’s a theme. And it’s really fun to surprise readers with a new look each time, so I’ll definitely be maintaining this approach. You may not fall in love with each edition because of this, but you might get an unexpected idea, and that’s what this is all about.
All products I feature will be chosen simply because I like them. I don’t currently accept commissions, favors, or compensation in exchange for coverage (from individuals or companies). Not only is my independence paramount to me, but I also enjoy the process of searching for pretty things on my own. If any of that changes, I’ll be sure to let you know.
I’ve always been drawn to beautiful things. Not because I need to own them, but because I enjoy seeing what people can imagine and create. So, whether we can afford the things featured here or not, I think they’re still worth our time. Beauty, creativity, and good ideas have a way of making us dream, expanding our sense of what’s possible, and reminding us that there is always something new to discover. I hope you’ll enjoy looking at them as much as I do! ◡̈
One more thing: I’m so new here that I don’t have a publishing schedule yet. Please be patient with me until I find the pace that’s right for me (..for both of us).
