my motto for the week. 

idiot say what?

"The woman who follows the crowd will usually go no further than the crowd. The woman who walks alone is likely to find herself in places no one has ever been before."
Albert Einstein  (via musingsinfemininity)

I was thinking the other day about how I let things get to me—the stuff that doesn’t work out like I planned, unkind critiques, or any kind of general negativity (the person who was rude on the subway, the girl behind the register who had a bad day and took it out on her customers). I tend to let myself focus on that. I zero in on the small percentage of people or experiences out there that have put a dent in my day.

But instead, I think we (myself included) should remember the positive. Remember the guy at Starbucks who give you a dollar because you didn’t quite have enough change for your morning coffee, or the lady on the the highway you let you into the insane merge lane during rush hour traffic. Remember the incredible goal you accomplished, the dream gig you just got, or the person who took the time to write you a letter saying how much your work inspired her during a sad time in her life.

I am terrible at letting the good stuff stick. But maybe we can all help each other out a little and remember the good times, the best moments, the nice people, and the kindnesses that do come our way…

Thanks for the inspiration, oh joy!

What would just one of something look like?

Not a diversity of items, but a simplicity of things. A specificity, a selection, and a deliberate choice between several?

Not three workout programs, but just one workout program.
Not seven yoga mats or towels, but just one.
Not eight new dresses or blouses, but just one. Your favorite one.
Not two sets of bedding, but just one.
Not four new books, but just one.
Not three bedrooms, but just one bedroom.
Not two cars, but just one car.
Instead of two sets of tablewear, just one set.
Instead of eight dreams, just one dream to work on.

Sometimes I get caught in the trap of needing more. I have a brown pair of boots, but now I need a black one. I have a black pair, but now I need a tan one. And I need a pair of rain boots. Four pairs of boots? Do I need four pairs of boots?

What would just one look like?

[Or none at all?]

"It’s not an easy thing to do sometimes- to tell the truth. Sometimes you get slammed by it but following Megan Rapinoe’s example, I hope that thousands, millions of Americans and women around the world, will be able to have the same courage to walk in the light, to embrace who they are, to love who they love and to say: “I am proud to be who I am.” We are all proud to be Americans when Megan Rapinoe, the fine daughter of our great country, is willing to stand up and say: “I’m a lesbian. Deal with it.” And then go on the field and kick ass!"

More inspiration that I used to help with my friends project. 

Some images I used when helping a friend with a fashion, shopping, inspiration project.

Style is forever.

Kinda want to replicate something like this for my apartment.

I’ve been feeling really inspired lately, but I don’t know where to begin with all this creative energy that’s been building up.
