Inspire Me!

I think most creative people will agree that you can draw inspiration from anything and everything. Nature, fashion, food, and textiles are usually the mediums I draw my greatest ideas from. However, after watching "Jump Start" on VH1 the other morning, I was awe-struck by the beautiful choreography and costumes in Christina Perri's music video Jar of Hearts. Here are some still shots of it:

I love the dreamy color palette, mood-setting lighting, and twirly tulle skirts. The video combined the harshness of the asphalt, combat boots, and dreary weather with ultra feminine costumes and delicate ballerina poise for a dazzling contrast.

Still not sparking any creativity? Check out the blog Color Collective. I could seriously spend hours brainstorming ways to use her inspiring color combinations. Here are some palettes to get you revved up!
