As a person who generally always had "control" over her life, I had no trouble fitting in a workout, blogging, daily news, and social media all on top of my 9-5ish full-time job. Over the course of moving to the city, Summer plans which turned into Fall activities and beginning a new job, I've found less time to do all of those things I was so easily capable doing.
Priorities have changed and I'm learning how to just live in the moment all while trying to run the world - as girls do. This week's inspiration touches upon a few of these notes -
Olivia Palermo - how to dress like a boss! Channeling the powers of Olivia Pope (Scandal), Jessica Pearson (Suits) and a little Emily Thorne/Amanda Clark (Revenge), dressing up for the position you want should always prevail. An outfit can make or break your mood and change your day unexpectedly.
Coffee & Magazines - fooor days my friends. Felt a little basic yesterday and craved a Pumpkin Spiced Latte - apparently the season is over and instead I received a peppermint mocha - AWFUL SURPRISE! I will stick to my cappuccinos till Spring. Magazines for inspiration. I will always love that tangible feel of a print magazine. Before the world of pinterest and tablets - no, i'm not that old - there were folders of torn out magazine pages. There is something about print magazines that will always resonate a stronger connection with me than that of any interactive, digital issue. It inspires as you go round, after round of reviewing the same magazine just in case you missed something. I've felt disconnected to that world and am looking forward for the moment I can finally sit down and read the September Issues of Vogue and Harper's Bazaar - gasp! I have yet to look still. Those issues take time.
Sneakers/Trainers the modern day Working Girl - Thank the goodness sneakers are cool and chic to rock to the office. After injuring my foot either via Pilates or running the concrete jungle, I will be in sneakers for the rest of the week at the office. Always fascinating the amount of variables one can work a pair into even the most professional of outfits. If you have yet to see Working Girl - get it together and step it up. She's the originator of sneakers to work chic.
The final picture - i'm drawn to it. Perhaps because she looks like a bad arse boss or maybe I just love black and white together on a gal. Either way, i'm channeling her energy too.
Get inspired and shift into gear. It's already Wednesday people!!
