I am a firm believer that whatever you do in life, you must do it with your heart. All the better to do what you love, even if it isn’t easy, even if it doesn’t pay your bills. I recently read this article, and it reinforced many of my core beliefs. Paul Graham dives into many of the reasons people don’t/believe they can’t be happy at work, even if they desire to be, and how to fall in love with what you do, and do what you love.

Here is just some food for thought…

“The test of whether people love what they do is whether they’d do it even if they weren’t paid for it—even if they had to work at another job to make a living. How many corporate lawyers would do their current work if they had to do it for free, in their spare time, and take day jobs as waiters to support themselves?”

I suggest snuggling up with a cup of coffee or a stiff gin & tonic and diving into this quick read. It is a humanized eye opener, and in many ways is like reading the advice of someone who has know you all your life.

Enjoy!

There’s a lot I love going on with this ensemble.

I’m especially enamoured with the combination of heels and cut-offs, white tee and ultra-tan legs, and those chandelier earrings set the whole thing off for me.

I j’adore unexpected juxtapositions!

Lucy’s documentation of her own styling choices never ceases to inspire me.

I’m noticing that every single style image inspiring me today has an ivory-oyster shade anchoring the ensemble.

It’s probably because it’s finally summer and who wants to wear dark colors in the heat?!

I think a dress + big hat are the perfect summer ensemble for any summer occasion – work, the beach, shopping, or cocktails with the girls.

It’s been awhile since Vogue posted one of their 5 days, 5 looks, 1 girl posts on the Vogue Daily blog, but they certainly delivered yesterday with this mini documentary of Selby Drummond.

Drummond is the accessories editor at Vogue which may be why this particular post included so many images and paid such close attention to the details of the ensembles.

{which I loved! The more images the better!}

Le Sigh.

So lovely. Can’t wait for their next post.
