“The short words are best, and the old words are the best of all.” – Winston Churchill

When you find yourself speaking to the world as Mr. Churchill did, you must find a way to make your words heard by all. He had a knack for saying things in the plainest language. There are very few Churchill quotes that have any new vocabulary words. He’s not going to have a word of the day calendar, though I’m sure his lexicon was quite profound.

Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavour -Truman Capote

Instead of viewing a failure as a dead end, why not take it a little more lightheartedly with this quote and realize that the goal is not avoiding failure, but instead using it to make your eventual success that much more delicious. So many people try to make it so they don’t fail, so much so that they never succeed. But every great success has surely been more sweet thanks to the difficulties overcome on the road there. Would success even exist if there were no opposite?

“If you always put limit on everything you do, physical or anything else. It will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.” – Bruce Lee

When you reach the point where you think you have hit a wall, just push right on through it. The only road blocks are in your mind. Whether you are pushing yourself mentally, physically, emotionally, or spiritually, you can always get through that next obstacle with a bit more grit.

5 Trends from SS22 Fashion Shows I Want To Start Wearing Right Now

Chanel

Short skirt suit

These feminine and sexy suits with a flare of 60s were everywhere at the Fashion weeks, and I can’t stop thinking about replacing the pant suits with some cute short-skirted tailleurs in my Fall/Winter wardrobe. With a thick tights and and a platformed Oxford loafer shoes (just as those neon green Versace ones!) they will fit perfectly my cold season looks.

Versace

Костюм с юбкой

Versace

Эти женственные и сексуальные костюмы в стиле 60-х были повсюду на Неделях моды, и я не могу перестать думать о том, чтобы заменить брючные костюмы на эти очаровательные комплекты с короткой юбкой в моем осенне-зимнем гардеробе. С плотными колготками и туфлями-оксфордами на платформе (как и те неоново-зеленые Versace!), они идеально впишутся в мои образы холодного сезона.

Max Mara

Prada

Jumpsuit

Saint Laurent

The trendiest alternative to a dress for the next summer – and Fall! While during the days I will focus on knit jumpsuits and boiler suits in thick denim like the ones at Stella McCartney’s show, for a night our there’s nothing better then sexy catsuits in lycra as those seen at Saint Laurent and Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini runways.

Saint Laurent

Комбинезон

Acne Studios

Самая модная альтернатива платью для будущего лета – и для нынешней осени! В течение дня я буду делать ставку на вязанные и рабочие комбинезоны из плотного денима, как на показе Стеллы Маккартни, а для вечера и вечеринки нет ничего лучше, чем сексуальные комбинезоны из лайкры, которые можно было увидеть на подиумах Saint Laurent и Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini.

Big shoulders

Balmain

The bigger the better! Never be afraid of borrowing your boyfriend’s jacket anymore: fashion designers suggest that we indulge on wide and power shoulders. I especially love the idea of pairing them to some feminine and edgy pieces like stretch flared pants, cutout sweaters, ribbed dresses or miniskirts as at Prada show.

Balmain

Широкие плечи

Balmain

Шире теперь значит лучше! Никогда больше не стесняйтесь одолжить пиджак своего парня: дизайнеры предлагают не скупиться на широкие плечи. Мне особенно нравится идея сочетать эту деталь со смелыми женственными вещами: стретчевыми лосинами-клеш, свитерами с вырезами, платьями в рубчик или мини-юбками, как на показе Prada.

Brining sexy back

Balmain

Sensual is the new black. At the Fashion weeks everyone seemed to bring the sexy back in all the possible ways. Risky cutouts, naked skin, transparent textiles, underwear peeping through the clothes. The straps and cuts are my favorite accents for Fall/Winter season. I can’t get enough of Balmain’s flared pants with a cutout detail on the waist for the day, while Coperni’s and Acne Studios’ see-through chiffon dresses and blouses are a perfect choice for the upcoming party season.

Balmain

Новая сексуальность

Chanel

Сексапильность – это новый черный! На показах каждый второй бренд стремился возвратить в моду сексуальность всеми возможными способами. Рискованные вырезы, обнаженная кожа, прозрачные ткани, прорези и вырезы, просматривающееся сквозь одежду нижнее белье – вот неполный список самых горячих трендов будущего лета. Ремешки и разрезы – мои любимые акценты для сезона осень / зима. Днем я планирую носить расклешенные брюки в стиле Balmain с вырезом на талии, а прозрачные шифоновые платья и блузки в духе Coperni и Acne Studioы – идеальный выбор для предстоящего сезона вечеринок.

“Getting an idea should be like sitting on a pin; it should make you jump up and do something.” – E. L. Simpson

Though it is true that not every idea needs to come to fruition, many ideas can be used as fuel to get yourself up and going. Don’t let so many wonderful ideas come through your head and fade into forever; trust yourself and your abilities, and get busy creating your life the way you want it.

Start by doing what’s necessary; then do what’s possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible. – St. Francis of Assisi

Start today by doing the things that must be done. Maybe you are trying to launch a business, or maybe you’re just trying to get organised. Either way, the first steps are the first steps. Take this opportunity to lay the groundwork. Then, you can stretch yourself. Before you know it, you’ll be doing things that you never thought possible.

“One finds limits by pushing them.” ~ Herbert Simon

How can you know what your limits are if you’ve never pushed them? This quote is good not only for encouraging you to find your own limitations, if you have any, but also for testing the limits of what is possible out in the world. Sitting by and thinking you have limits without actually finding out if you do or not is akin to the story of how an elephant won’t try to break the simple rope that ties him down because as a baby they chained him up with a heavy chain. How many limits do you put on yourself that aren’t even real?

“To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often.” – Winston Churchill

If you want to get better at anything, you have to accept change. Change is a natural and beautiful process that leads to growth both internally and externally. Without that change, you would become stagnant and stale. Stop holding on to the status quo, that’s not achieving anything.

“It doesn’t matter how great your shoes are if you don’t accomplish anything in them.” – Martina Boone

It does not matter how expensive or luxurious your possessions are if you have done nothing to earn them. Having great things means nothing if you haven’t earned them. The feeling of working hard and earning something will always trump the feeling of being handed something.

“Say and do something positive that will help the situation; it doesn’t take any brains to complain.” – Robert A. Cook

If you listen closely to groups of people talk, you may hear many of them all complaining together. Misery does love company, right? Complaining is small thinking, but being positive is grand. Offer some kind of positive outlook on the topic, or offer a solution and see how that makes you feel.
