Happy Friday everyone! We've survived another week together, despite freezing temperatures! It's all about celebration this week, because I've decided that what is life without celebration! I hope your inspired by this in some way or another.
Happy Friday!!!
Maybe, you can be a lady while breaking the rules? That, to me, is even more daunting of a task. Or is the lady-like thing to not break the rules? You decide.
E-cards: getting me through tough days like a BOSS.
Whether you admit it or not...
Colors, patterns, a puppy! A sorts of goodies in this one!
In celebrating every day, I would break it!
Go out and do it! Whatever it is!
I'm obsessed with this jacket.
Self-explanatory.
The Four Agreements.
<3 I LOL'd at this one.
Well, I'm off to read magazines, and drink coffee! Yours x
I just want to say thank you all very much for reading this. It truly means a lot to me that you've even clicked on the link. It's incredible to think that I've got 1000+ views on The Hemline. A-MAZ-ING! No combination of the 26 letters in the alphabet can express just how it makes me feel when you all read my posts, discuss my posts, or, my personal favorite, tell me that you enjoy them. So thank you!
Now, back to business!!
When I embarked on this endeavor I completed some research....read: I read other blogs, whether fashion related or not. Yeah, it was really tough for me (ahem, sarcasm). I thought about what I'd want to read, what would help me with clothes, outfits, and most important, finding a reason to love clothes and myself. (Obviously, I already loved clothes and fashion but hey, we all need some help, yeah?). One of the biggest influences on my decision to start a blog, and Fashion Fridays, was from a well-known blogger, Gala Darling.
I've recently become completely obsessed with TED talks. TED talks tagline "Ideas worth spreading" is exactly that. They are free talks from anything to how to use one paper towel to asking the question of What Moves You?. In exploring both Gala Darling and TED talks, my two inspirational vehicles collided.
Here's Gala Darling's TED talk on her Radical Self Love project. I hope you all enjoy it just as much as I have.
This week, inspiration seemed to find me wherever I went. I started out my week by watching the captivating Masterpiece Classic: Downton Abbey. For this season, they gained the corporate sponsor of Ralph Lauren and his commercial aired before the episode. He is discussing his craft and where he finds his inspiration. I'm inherently jealous of anyone who can articulate their inspirations like he does. I'd consider myself a bit of a generalist when it comes to inspiration. His words inspired me to not accept the ordinary, not only in fashion, but also in life. His dialogue got my creative juices flowing (obviously) so I transcribed it for you to be inspired as well! And as per usual, more amazing fashions (also made easy by The Golden Globes!!). Congratulations on another week of 2013 completed!
"This is not a job. This is a joy. Doing the women's collection, you've got to create something and make it new every season. I'm drawing inspiration from my life, from history, from movies, from books, from everything I see. The best pleasure is the creativity and not accepting the ordinary." --Ralph Lauren
First: It's a Target ad and, if you haven't figured it out yet, I L-O-V-E Target. Also, Old Man Winter... I accept your sweater as apology.
Sparkly bow because why not?

What's a closet?
Truth.
You know you read it as Captain Jack...
Naomi Watts looked absolutely stunning!
Miranda Kerr (oh and a bit of Orlando Bloom eye-candy) is ravishing!
I love Adele for several reasons, but mostly because she rocks Burberry like a boss. Black long sleeve dress with embellished neckline... Get it, girl! Beautiful! Plus, she scored a high-five from James Bond (erm, Daniel Craig) and a Golden Globe for Skyfall.
