Inspiration Friday

Thank GOD it's Friday right? I just finished up my month's work yesterday, and I'm SO glad! Sadly I don't get to take today off to recover, because I'm desperate to take Saturday off to shop! So I'll be forcing myself back to the grindstone later on tonight!

It's Friday, and in the spirit of being excited for the weekend, I thought I'd post some things that have been inspiring me recently!

This DIY tutu is so easy to make, and the length keeps it more refined than little-girl. I'm desperate to make it as soon as I get back to Colorado and my sewing machine!

"398.2 is the fairy tale section for the Dewey Decimal System." - I love this necklace, pretty sure I need it in my life! What a nerdy and cute way of expressing our love for that wonderful imaginary world that is the fairy tale :)

I just sent off my signed lease for my new apartment; it's the first time I will be living TRULY by myself, no roommates! I'm ridiculously excited and have been collecting interior design inspiration pins. I love the soft neutral colors and the mix and match aesthetic! It's beautiful!

As my Europe trip gets closer and closer, I'm getting more and more excited about packing, despite the fact that I'm ALREADY living out of a suitcase! I wish this was all I needed to pack! Camera, art supplies, passport! Who needs clothes right?

I love this quote :) After having been travelling for so long, and being away from home since January, the shiny excitement of travel tends to wear off; especially since I'm stuck in a limbo state in England with my family! This helps reignite my wanderlust spark, and I can't WAIT to head off to Italia come mid-June, but also to find my own adventure in a day to day life that can get a bit humdrum!

I've been going through a bit of a rough patch recently, with various things in my life. When I get bogged down like that, I get really, really bad until suddenly I snap, and realize that I am in control of my own emotions, I am stronger than any mental disorder I may have, and I am brave enough to face it head on and be happy. Since making the decision to be happier, to act happier, and to see light and joy in the world around me, instead of focusing on negative things that are upsetting me, I've been filled with much more joy and creativity! I just decided to change my outlook on life. It's hard but well worth it, and even though I know I'll hit lows again, I know that eventually I will shake myself out of it, just like I always have done! :)


Lastly is this video by Britpopprincess AKA Patricia on YouTube. I've always admired her positive outlook on life, and this video really really struck a chord with me, espeically the self-esteem part! It is up to us as women to choose the positive words we say about ourselves and each other; lets all focus on the positive inside us, and our true beauty, and not the negative :)

I hope you guys have a great Friday! If you have found anything inspirational recently, post it down below!
