Life is a journey, but let’s not get lost in travel. Instead, you must focus on what is within you. The journey of life will change you and unlock what is inside of you. As you evolve during the journey, you have to be sure that all of the changes you are making are positive. Don’t allow missteps in the journey be permanent.

If you want to be better than everyone else, start to do what they are not doing. You will not become greater than them by doing exactly what they are doing. That will do you no good and only keep you below them. Learn how to be different and think outside the box.

Think about a time when you had a project that excited you. Do you remember the motivation that made it easy to get out of the bed in the morning so you could work on it? Do you recall the passion and happiness you felt? To be successful, find more of that passion.

When things happen “to” you, you feel helpless and victimized. However, if you look at things as happening “for” you, then you take some of your power back. This allows you to look at the lessons and blessings (a.k.a. silver linings) within anything you might experience.

As you build your self-image and confidence at the beginning of your journey to success, you will be more prepared to handle the attention and spotlight that will come once you achieve it. Knowing that you are worth success makes handling it much easier.

They say that some rules are made to be broken, and still others are made to be bent. She’s not saying that you should break the law, but our society has so many rules put in place that if you conform to them all you might have a bland and vanilla time here. Find out which rules are getting in the way of some good clean fun, and test the boundaries. Life isn’t about staying within the lines, it’s about doing what you want without getting in the way of others doing what they want.

The most important aspect of change is that it starts within. If we only focus on outward change, then we will always be discouraged, confused, and even lost. If we allow those outward changes to bring opportunity, we can grow through them and become even stronger. Don’t be afraid to change.

This is a beautiful quote that will help you realize just how powerful you really are, and to stop spending so much time trying to become beautiful. You already are beautiful, and the power you possess will reveal itself over your lifetime. It’s enough to know that you have power, and that it will continue to grow and expand as you allow it. The good news is that realizing you’re beautiful just as you are right now is the first step to harnessing the power within you and accomplishing more in life.

I’m obsessed with Slim Aarons holiday photography. I even can’t really imagine why it’s my first post about it! His captures of high society life at the beach, on the boat, by the pool or in a summer villa are pure perfection and endless source of inspiration for me. This is how I see a perfect vacation. And this is where I find genius ideas for styling.
Я обожаю летние фотографии Слима Ааронса. Даже не представляю, почему это мой первый пост о его творчестве! Его снимки светской жизни на пляже, на лодке, у бассейна или на летней вилле – это чистое совершенство и бесконечный источник вдохновения для меня. Вот каким я вижу идеальный отпуск. И здесь я нахожу гениальные идеи для стайлинга.
Like this photo of Marisa Berenson lunching on Capri in 1968. Just look at how she matches the color of her swimsuit and her turban. She treated a beach dining dressing with same attention as a gala appearance, putting a dose of eyeshade for high drama and a golden bracelet to add even more chic to her look. Or this picture at an infinity pool: I would love to find a same vintage suit to pair with an elegant white straw hat.
Как эта фотография Марисы Беренсон, обедающей на Капри в 1968 году. Вы только посмотрите, как она сочетает купальник и тюрбан по цвету. Она относилась к пляжному образу с таким же вниманием, как и к торжественному выходу, добавляя тени для век для драматизма и золотой браслет для еще большего шика. Или вот этот снимок у инфинити-бассейна: мне бы очень хотелось найти такой же винтажный купальник, чтобы сочетать его с элегантной белой соломенной шляпой.
The portraits he shot in the houses of the famous socialites of the epoch are sublime. And it’s a great source for researching home decoration ideas. I’m crazy about the decoration of the wall with a collection of straw hat and bags. And this lunching scene with a view from Capri inspires me for setting up a stylish summer dinner party.
Портреты светских львиц, снятые в их летних домах, просто великолепны. И это отличный источник для поиска вдохновения по декору интерьера. Я без ума от идеи украсить стены коллекцией соломенных шляп и сумок. А эта сцена обеда с видом на острове Капри вдохновляет меня на устроить стильный летний ужин для друзей.
Aarons mixed work with pleasure, travelling the most beautiful places in the world: he toured Saint-Tropez, Monaco, Eden Roc d’Antibes, Capri, Como, Sardinia, Los Angeles, Ibiza, Cannes and alike. His approach was essential but winning: photographing ‘attractive people who are doing attractive things in attractive places’.
Ааронc совмещал работу с удовольствием, путешествуя по самым красивым местам мира: он отдыхал и снимал в Сен-Тропе, Монако, Эдем-Рок-д’Антиб, на Капри, Комо и Сардинии, в Лос-Анджелесе, на Ибице, в Каннах и так далее. Его подход был простым, но выигрышным: фотографировать «привлекательных людей, которые делают привлекательные вещи в привлекательных местах».
The swimming suits are breathtaking. I can’t stop thinking about adding some printed ones to my wardrobe, inspired by his iconic shots. I would wear them with huge vintage clips, chain necklaces and massive bracelets, and tying a scarf around the head.
От купальников на его фото захватывает дух. Я не могу перестать думать о том, чтобы добавить несколько моделей с принтами в свой гардероб, вдохновившись его культовыми снимками. Я бы носила их с крупными винтажными клипсами, ожерельями-цепочками и массивными браслетами, и повязала бы шелковый шарф на волосы.
And as a backdrop for my future photos inspired by Aarons, I would definitely choose Capri rocs (just look at this terrace from 1980s!), a tender sandy beach of Saint-Tropez and…. a good boat, as Slim loved them so much. A great fashion crew of friends would make a perfect set for pictures.
А в качестве фона для моих будущих фотографий, вдохновленных Ааронсом, я бы определенно выбрала Капри (только взгляните на эту террасу на фото родом из 1980-х!), нежный песчаный пляж Сен-Тропе и …. хорошую лодку, какими их любил Слим. так много. Модный коллектив друзей составит лучшую компанию для идеального фото.
I highly recommend these two books for your summer coffee table: the French Riviera from the collection Fashion Eye by Louis Vuitton (50 euros) or Dolce Vita by Christopher Sweet (from 90 Euros)

Our homes are not always the places where we grew up or the cities where we lived, They are the places where we are loved and accepted. Home is where we feel safe and are around people who look out for us and help us to grow as people.
