All of the inspiration, content, and intentions of the week so that you can arrive the aspirational way.

Sentiment of the week: “I fell in love with her courage, her sincerity, and her flaming self-respect. And it’s these things I’d believe in, even if the whole world indulged in wild suspicions that she wasn’t all she should be. I love her and that’s the beginning and the end of everything.” — F. Scott Fitzgerald in a letter to Isabelle Amorous, about Zelda

Here’s what is currently inspiring us: Summer pauses, Celine Dion performing at The Olympics, cooking dinner with your family, these shoes, being outside, planning your daily outfits before you travel, finding a really good tailor that becomes the secret to your elevated wardrobe, feeling a sweet surrender around the timing of your life.

Question to ask yourself this week: How can I surrender even further to the timing of my life?

Have a beautiful week. Until next Sunday.

Sincerely,

The REVUE Team
