A New Year

 A favorite inspiration of mine is Tom Ford on his New Years resolution, he said "I don't have one. I believe in living life the way that you want to live it every day, and if you do that you don't really need to have a New Year's resolutions."  Therefore, it is best not to expect some long laundry list of promises from me, instead I have daily goals.  I believe in constantly improving.  The unrealistic idea of a butterfly rebirth appeals to me as much as the next girl, however years of never being quite thin enough have taught me that it is hard work being the version of myself that I am happiest with.  Progress happens over night, every time a change is made.  Results take time,  do not be discouraged in whatever your goals are.  That said, I always appreciate a good party.  Have some champagne, share a midnight kiss, and never miss the magic of today by focusing on the promises of tomorrow. 

Run away with me?

Inspired: Dianna Argon

I tend to hate things that generate a certain level of obsession  like Team Edward/Team Jacob and the entire werewolf vampire phenomenon.  Do I like Twilight? Duh, guilty pleasure.  Do I hate people who automatically fawn over anything involving a werewolf? Yes.  They ruin it for everyone else.  I felt the same way towards Glee for a long time, but its impossible to ignore for very long. The cast alone is pretty stunning.  The images above are from a Nylon interview with Dianna Agron.  The Princess Dianna angle is endearing, which can be seen from the images (they speak for themselves).  The thing is Dianna is stunning.  Yes, she pulls off retro clothes, but its more than that.  Check out her tumblr to see what I mean.  I'll be floored if you do not pick up on elements of whimsy, kindness or playfulness that all come off entirely heartfelt. <3 This post is not just about a recent inspiration, but me sharing someone with you who I feel is truly inspired.  Click on this post for more!

Miu Miu Fall Winter 2011

Highly recommend looking at Miu Miu's campaign. I cannot believe I have not seen it! The images are stunning, and the video components make you feel like you are watching a film. No, not a modern fashion documentary but a classic.  Hailee Steinfeld's youth is not corrupted like that of most young models portraying something much older than themselves.  Her beauty is appreciated and her youth embraced. I completely adore the campaign.  As for the clothes themselves, I enjoy the color choices, and color blocking without intrusive patterns.  The glitter, and sequin details of the clothes do not feel over done but the perfect accents.  As if any girl could turn down those glitter covered heels!
