Sunday Inspiration: Volume 1.4

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

Sentiment of the week: “When I told the doctor on Harley Street that I didn’t want my husband to recognize me when it came to peeling back my veil, I was clearly making a joke. But standing in the queue the next day, those words came back to haunt me. Desperately, I began to question why I’d been getting all these tweakments done in the first place. To look prettier? Because that’s what other people do? I had just wanted to look like myself on my wedding day - myself, but, you know, better - but at what point does bettering oneself actually end up negating the self altogether? In a world obsessed with perfection, are we starting to lose site of ourselves?” - Tish Weinstock, expert from an essay published in British Vogue

Here’s what is currently inspiring us: Diana Ross, placing mint into our water, walks without podcasts, bodycare - oils! serums! creams!, June gloom in Southern California, sourcing our worth from within vs. without, old Disney cartoons on repeat, Alexander McQueen archives.

Question to ask yourself this week: How can I give myself the validation I need this week rather than outsourcing it outside of myself?

Have a beautiful week. Until next Sunday.
