Monday Pick-Me-Up




HANDSOME SWEATER, WU+SEN SKIRT, PRADA SHOES, CHANEL BAG, TOM FORD SUNGLASSES

A reminder to not give yourself the opportunity to regret:

"Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson, or to help you figure out who you are or who you want to become.

You never know who these people may be–a roommate, a neighbor, a professor, a friend, a lover, or even a complete stranger–but when you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment they will affect your life in some profound way.

Sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible, painful and unfair at first, but in reflection you find that without overcoming those obstacles, you would have never realized your potential, strength, willpower, or heart.

Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, whatever they may be, life would be like a smoothly paved straight flat road to nowhere. It would be safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly pointless.

The people you meet who affect your life, and the success and downfalls you experience, help to create who you are and who you become. Even the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are sometimes the most important ones.

If someone loves you, give love back to them in whatever way you can. Not only because they love you, but because in a way, they are teaching you to love and how to open your heart and eyes to things.

If someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks your heart, forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart to.

Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from those moments everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people that you have never talked to before, and actually listen to what they have to say.

Let yourself fall in love, break free and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in yourself, it will be hard for others to believe in you.

You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live it with absolutely no regrets. Most importantly, if you love someone tell him or her, for you never know what tomorrow will have in store. You learn a lesson in life each day you live. Today is the tomorrow you were worried about yesterday." — Unknown

That is a really cool skirt. But yes, I believe that things happen for a reason as well. Good or bad. And you learn from it. At least I did.

I'm loving that quote. I've been dealing with some friends who are just...fake. I think I told you about them already. Anyway, really realizing how important it is to just let things be, trust and love those who deserve it, and to forgive the people who aren't worth being angry about. You my lovely pally look beautiful as ever! I love that skirt on you.

Hey, great look. It looks amazing and the blog is great too. Since you have such a great taste in fashion, I was hoping you could help me with an advice. I just bought a bag like this: http://www.tripleclicks.com/detail.php?item=133428/11653483 and a pair of leather gloves like these: http://www.tripleclicks.com/detail.php?item=133435/11653483. I simply adore them, but I don't know what I could wear with them. I hope you could give me an advice. Thank a lot and keep up the great work.
