After Caiti finished our book’s exercises and determined her Style Statement, she created a vision board of Bohemian Simplicity. This serves as a reminder of her strengths and aesthetic loves. Style Statement keeps Caitis’s essence at the core of her work – creating a line of event invitations and personal stationery.
Thanks for sharing your inspirational vision board Caiti.
Bohemian
Spirit: The ultimate champion and devotee of the arts, taking a stand for self-expression and creative liberty. Bohemian derives soul-deep satisfaction from generating their own creative momentum and helping others to be seen, heard, and rewarded for what they do. Bohemian adores the unconventional, quirky, avant-garde, and slightly or outrageously offbeat. Bohemian is a free spirit, free thinker, a traveler of the world and of the mind.
Look and Feel: Bohemian loves to be up-to-date with design and often combine what’s current with and ecclectic collection of art, trinkets, and keepsakes. Culturally sophisticated: from high art to street punk. Wild, modern, edgy, offbeat, unconventional.
Simplicity
clear, clarity, direct, ease, elemental, honest, humble, integrity, intelligible, modest, natural, open, pure, quiet, restrained, sincere, straightforward, unity
My dream home is: A smallish bungalow-style house in the outskirts of a city. Located walking distance to neighborhood shops/restaurants. Close to public transportation to the city. In a creative community like Portland or Seattle. Must be a green, sustainable and eco-friendly city.
I feel out of place: Networking and making small talk. When I’m forced to be in corporate environments. Anywhere I repress my true self because I don’t feel understood.
Celebrity-style I resonate with: Zooey Deschanel – comfortable, quirky, 40s style. Maggie Gyllenhaal – glamorous but unique. Amelie – quirky, european vintage.
My future tattoo:A bird on a tree branch, watercolor-style. Represents freedom.
What I love most about myself is: My open-mindedness towards people and ideas. I’m proud to be someone who continuously wants to learn and expand – intellectually, creatively, through travel and other people.
I am my best self when: I’m creating or learning. When my surroundings are clean and open and breezy. My best self is fully relaxed, peaceful, engaged, inspired and loving.
Nightmare job: In finance working for a mega corporation, in a cubicle. Being a cog in a machine, trying to make big money for someone else’s benefit.
Works that inspire me: The films Amelie and Eternal Sunshine. The books and art of Sabrina Ward Harrison.
My tribe is: Artistic, creative, funny, open, honest, and shares deeply.
Favorite Flower: Poppies – bold, charming, individualistic and non-conformist.
Bohemian means to me: Ecclectic, widely inspired, artistic, creative, worldly, openminded, always looking for the story, a traveler.
Simplicity means to me: Essential, to the point, honest, peaceful, open, freedom and grateful.
