Value You

Do you ever toot your own horn, and then almost immediately panic – as if what you’ve done might not have been such a good idea? It’s like submitting a resume and then promptly experiencing some sort of terror that you’ll fail at what you’ve just submitted your resume for, or worse – you’ll Related posts:

Weekend Work: Photo Shoots and My Thoughts

This weekend was BUS-AY!  After a week and a half of solid, non-stop preparation, I met up with Kimberlee at the Deco Modiste showroom to capture some of our spring and summer looks. I like to look at opportunities like this as a learning experience; this weekend I learned a little bit about professionalism and what Related posts:

Synchronicity

Everything is as it should be. Who you once were, who you are now – these things are fitting and right. You are precisely where you should be as a product of your choices and your actions, and you will go amazing places because your soul demands it. It is in this realization that you will Related posts:

The Inevitable

Fall has come, once again, reminding us that everything green and supple must come to an end; summer is over, and the long push of the colder months brings boots, berets and backpacks as people of all ages go back to school. Many of you, dear readers, have already finished your scholarly course.  Still, many of Related posts:

Work Your Passion

Slowly, you are gravitating towards doing what you love for a living. As you read this statement you’re probably thinking about your day job and what you do, and the implications of why you’re not doing what you love. I ask you: What do you do out of love, and what do you do out Related posts:

Life à la mode

I was having a conversation last night with Mister about how the human condition is a struggle to come to terms with our own mortality.  In that, it seems like we’re trying to accomplish so much that sometimes we miss out on the finer points in life – the time spent to yourself on the Related posts:

Concert Daze

This weekend was full of music – I had the Flaming Lips show on Friday and that Spygirl + International Pop Overthrow Festival thing on Saturday.  Before I get to the reviews, though, I want to talk to you – dear readers – about concert etiquette.  I feel like it’s something I shouldn’t have to Related posts:

You know what Wholestyle is about?  Did you read the manifesto!? It’s about making “it” happen (whatever that may be) – while working together and feeling good about ourselves.  While many may not realize they’re part of a wholestyle movement, the ideals they operate by speak volumes about the character of their WHOLE style – Related posts:

Wholestyle Manifesto

Your personal style is made up of so many more factors than what you wear, how you dress, or what color your hair is that day.  While talking about this, Jaka – from Jaka’s Tea Party – and I drafted up an idea of wholestyle.  Jaka wrote it out and it ended up like this: ========= The Related posts:

Beauty Defined

I got this link from a tweet by VueSociety regarding singing sensation Susan Boyle. I remember watching her performance on Britain’s Got Talent and my eyes welled up as this woman, who looked like someone’s mom or one of my old piano teachers, belted out with this gorgeous voice.  As the article from MSNBC noted: Boyle’s Related posts:

Links à la Mode: The Whole Woman

I love what Debutante Clothing has put together for this week’s Links à la Mode!  It’s important to remember that we are women, and being womanly/girlie/feminine is definitely something to be enjoyed.  Women are powerful figures; women are strong and charismatic; women are beautiful, sensual and elegant muses.  Gloss over those who talk about the Related posts:

We are Amazing

She stood on stage in front of the crowd packed into the Showbox and told us – we all want to do something amazing.  We all want to get there, have it, be it and live it out, but what we don’t always realize is that we are it, we have it, we live it Related posts:

A bit of motivational lapse?

We all have those days where we just can’t get up out of bed.  We have days where it’s hard to be motivated to write, or be active.  We all have lazy days and in the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it’s important to recognize and embrace that feeling if it comes.

Breaking the System

Commence rant: I read an article about “Generation Y” (it’s a really great article – I promise) that said, “we expect to be on Twitter while taking phone calls, checking Facebook while making meetings.”   I’ve read a lot on Generation Y, recently – we’re the generation of nonconformity, self expression, excess knowledge.  We’re fun-colored hair and Related posts:

A Picture of Beauty

I hope when I’m an old(ish) lady, I look HALF this gorgeous.  I’m not sure where the whole “Let’s rag on SJP” thing came from, but she looks amazing for 40-something and she’s a very successful businesswoman, whether you like her as an actress or not.
