The world of fashion is one that I never wish to visit. I wish to live there instead. An outsider’s view is tainted by flashbulbs and glitter. On the inside you can see the industry without its makeup on…

Quotes to Live By

Dear Divas,


There's something about fall that leaves me inspired. There are amazing colors everywhere, wonderful people always hanging around, and it's the season where coffee just tastes better. If you're one of those people who just aren't feeling fall let me give you some inspiration. These are some of my favorite quotes about fashion, love, life, and the world in general. All of these people made their difference on the world, and now it's our time to make ours.....


“In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on.” Robert Frost.
“In less enlightened times, the best way to impress women was to own a hot car. But women wised up and realized it was better to buy their own hot cars so they wouldn't have to ride around with jerks.” Scott Adams.
“I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. They don't teach you how to love somebody. They don't teach you how to be famous. They don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. They don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. They don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. They don't teach you anything worth knowing.” Neil Gaiman
“Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.” Coco Chanel
 "Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it." Rumi
"If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. And if they don't, they never were." Kahlil Gibran
"Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love". Neil Gaiman
"Ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation." Kahlil Gibran

“The love that lasts longest is the love that is never returned." Somerset Maugham
"Love is everything it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it... It really is worth fighting for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk everything, you risk even more." Erica Jong
“Inspiration is wonderful when it happens, but the writer must develop an approach for the rest of the time... The wait is simply too long.” Leonard Bernstein
“In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.” Douglas Adams.
“How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something but to be someone.” Coco Chanel

“Elegance is not the prerogative of those who have just escaped from adolescence, but of those who have already taken possession of their future.” Coco Chanel



And a pretty dress just for kicks...
