Sunday Inspiration: Volume 1.19

Author

REVUE
September 15, 2024

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

Sentiment of the week: “I don't understand that if you look wonderful, does that make you less important, less powerful, less serious?” - Anna Wintour

Here’s what is currently inspiring us: The idea that nostalgia is just hindsight; that beauty is is amplified within memory; that eras are created after they have been lived out, Chanel ballet flats because they will forever transcend time and trends, Carolina Herrera Spring 2025, fresh pasta with shrimp and pine nuts and shiitake mushrooms, silk dresses, following your true calling despite the internal dialogue of fear, appreciating homes for the architect that dreamed them up, terra cotta floors indoors, candles that double as decor, choosing luxurious thoughts to think, believing that beauty is worth pursuing, Lee McQueen in all of his Alexander McQueen glory.

What we are consuming this week:

Reordering this week: Balancing Mist by Oak Essentials

Home of the week: The Manhattan apartment of Queer Eye’s Antoni Porowski.

Nostalgic for: When you would wait all month for the latest issue of whatever magazine you utterly loved arrived to your house. It was a moment of transportation; a look into a world that felt so far away yet filled you with immense inspiration.

Question to ask yourself this week: How can I recognize the beauty all around me and choose to adore that instead of the banal or negative thoughts that automatically take center stage?

Have a beautiful week. Until next Sunday.

Sincerely,

The REVUE Team
