One of my favorite style planning tools is my collage book.

Consisting mainly of cutouts from Lucky mag and In Style I compose my own personal look-book.

You know, the grown-up version of paperdolls.

Since I enjoy sharing my aesthetic on Pinterest so much, I thought I might as well share my paper version too.

Cutting and pasting from magazines allows me to identify a sense of personal style, and a plan for shopping.

The goal is – through creating a personalized shopping plan, I don’t end up buying things that I don’t truly love, or just buying something because it’s on sale.
