During my concise seventeen years of existence, I've established my own position and perspective; "There is no need to lead a boring, un-fabulous life." The world is interesting; as is life and both are meant to be explored.
Why
don’t
you....
♥ Whip out that credit card, and buy yourself a Valentino gown, without a thought of buyer’s remorse? Put it on a mannequin, display it oh-so-beautifully as if it was in its boutique window in your room. Admire it, love it, and wear it at some gala or to an evening party!
♥ Throw those flannel pajamas, oversized tees and soffees away and parade about your home in thigh high socks, a little teddy, and a lovely kimono? Feel fabulous - be a temptress for the day!
♥ Wear dramatic makeup during the day instead of the night? - be different, be bold! Pretend you're makeup artist Pat McGrath and allow yourself to go overboard with winged eyeliner or wild colors? Wear sequins, do anything and everything!
♥ Carpe Diem? Grab a wingman -party and dance the night away! Kiss a cute boy, flirt with the hot Starbucks guy behind the counter, sample some foods you’ve never tasted or thought you’d like, wear a bright turquoise eyeshadow (a la Gucci Spring 2009), smile coquettishly revealing those pearly whites framed by bright pink-glossed lips & talk to someone new. The day is yours, so seize it!
♥ Prepare a set of hors d’oeuvres in pretty platters and set them on your coffee table? Snuggle in a cashmere blanket and watch Nip/Tuck for an entire evening.
♥ Take a day trip to a part of your state/country/city you haven’t been to yet?
♥ Sit outside on your deck, or a nearby park with your favorite book. Lounge in a pretty maxi dress, a straw hat, oversized sunglasses, and a string of pearls. Pretend you’re Audrey Hepburn for the day and read Pride and Prejudice. Sip a bit of homemade iced tea with a lemon.
♥ Go thrifting day - treat it like a treasure hunt for the more precious, unique finds?
♥ Read a book in a foreign language? (I really want to read something in French…)
♥ Write a letter to your style icon? Or even better, try writing to an editor of a magazine & see if they’ll reply?
♥ Completely reorganize your closet? By color, season, brand, whatever you choose. Style your closet so it looks approachable & like a boutique!
♥ Be obliviously glamorous for a day, even if you’re just doing a little errand here & there? Bring on the mysterious black sunglasses, the cocktail rings, the red lips, the heels, the “it” bag.
♥ Treat yourself to dinner in that fancy restaurant; order appetizers, invite friends, & dress up for it?
♥ Write an intriguing magazine article about yourself - as if you were living your ideal life - and keep it for inspiration?
♥ Redecorate your room? Go to the nearest home improvements store, buy a bucket of paint, and give your room a face lift. A new color can brighten your mood and change things up a bit.
