Key words: relax, summer, beach, casual
Color palette: ivory, sand beige and blues.
The look: easy summer all white staples with a touch of blue, perfect for happy hour at the beach.

::STYLE BY INSPIRATION #3::

Running through my pinboards on Pinterest, I found this image I saved a long time ago. I looked up the link and ended up on Sarah E. Rehmer's website. She is an amazing american graphic designer and photographer, with a big passion for fine arts. I loved this pieces, it was made in 2011 with encaustic and oil on a panel. The mixed textures and forms helped me get inspired and create this week style look.

Key words: rough, street, mixed materials.
Color palette: mixed grays, washed - out blue and a grungy mint.
The look: casual, lay-back outfit, perfect for a concert/festival or a friendly lunch.
