Burberry always manages to be my favourite collection, this years collection was just too perfect. Everything from the pastel and jewel tones to the embellishment, the classic Burberry silhouettes and trenches we all know and love are just beautiful. The whole collection was in promotion of Nottingham lace, which is amazing for the Midlands. I just so want to be a Burberry woman.
Mulberry's collection more muted, and maintained that slight sixties vibe in a modern way. Katrantzou's collection was based all around shoes, and as usual, her staple digital prints were incredible, that lady knows how to mix her prints. All images found at style.com I have gone a bit bike mad recently, so I made this little illustration on illustrator, I think its rather cute.
I have been thinking about this quote a lot today, for some people the worlds opinions on normal dictates there whole lives, they miss the true freedom of being their wild self. The person who God made them, with the quirks that makes them; them. I have noticed that often the people that are so quick to judge the quirks of others are the ones who hold their true selves back, for fear of being judged. Its natural to worry about other peoples opinions but don't let it dictate the person you are or become, always be the best possible YOU, because when someone appreciates that its all the more special. I want to be a person who is comfortable being myself, and am trying to continually challenge myself to that, even when it feels like the hardest thing to do.
I love inspiring quotes and once I've herd something that I don't want to forget I feel the need to keep it somewhere, and recently I came across this cute little book. My plan is to fill it with quotes, from here there and everywhere, although most so far are from scripture, and give it to a daughter, or daughters friend when it is full. Hopefully those snippets of wisdom can then be shared.
