I hope all of you are enjoying this long holiday weekend! It’s a nice feeling to know that I’ll have today off to just relax and unwind.
For now, I’m especially being inspired by strong women who not only are successful in their careers but also very smart, confident and stylish! 
Three summer looks I love! Especially bright sunnies and wedges!
Don’t these girls look like they would be perfect for a new reality fashion show? But they’re a team behind the website theoutnet.com and below, they gave chic styling tips for everyday occasions.
More photos here.
Amazing style inspiration from top fashion insiders you’ve never heard about. More photos here.
A girl with both beauty and brains is always attractive! Did you know that she’s fluent in six languages, sings opera and just recently wrote a book called “The Enchanter: Nobokov and Happiness? Read her interview here.
I love Mulberry bags but I just discovered that they made really cool clothes too! 1. Annie Blouse $850.00 (mulberry.com) 2. Postmans Lock Camera Bag Deer Brown Silky Snake Print Bag $1200 (mulberry.com) 3. Kilty Shorts $750.00 (Mulberry.com) 4. Mulberry midnight blue D Rring Wrap Wedge $417.45 (mywardrobe.com)
Happy 4th of July and have a fabulous start of the week my loves! xoxoxoxoxoo

Hiiiii! I love the second outfit you’ve posted! Also, those ladies definitely look like they are going to be in some reality tv competition in regards to fashion 🙂 I especially love Eve’s dress!
Haha if you did end up being that man’s daughter I might have freaked out over the coincidence of having met him!!! I mean really, that would be pretty freaky…
As for my weekend, well on Canada Day my bf and I went down to the waterfront. We spent hours there just walking through the different areas next to the lake. Then later we watched the fireworks. I worked Saturday and Sunday I just hung out with the family 🙂 Tomorrow it’s back to work for me… but not until the afternoon… so I’ll probably sleep in (for once!) haha.
I hope you got to catch up on lots of sleep and have a nice long weekend!!! xoxo
What a great post on strong women! THESE are some of the women we (and younger girls) should be looking up to as opposed to celebrities or reality stars. I wish I could be like Lila Zanganeh – what an inspiration!

Wow thank you know what I have no clue what I’m going to wear to 4th of July… I was thinking about wearing a bathsuit as a top or maxi dress still deciding
Great post! Mulberry are my favourite English brand. I love the thoughts by these strong women – what an inspiration.
Happy 4th July – enjoy your day off xoxo

Hello there sweetie! I missed your posts and our talking time together! I haven’t post anything lately, cuz I was waiting for the pics of my mini-prom from my friend’s camera which I think I will never get. But I will do other posts until I got the pics. I have been kind of busy. For the last 3 days I have been in Tirana, had a great time there. My big sister went to Nederland and she will be there for a whole week, so happy for her. Her summer schedule is full. My youngest uncle was engaged yesterday and today I’m waiting him and her fiancée here in my home! My oldest uncle’s daughter Fiona came with us yesterday when we were coming back home and she will stay at us for a week, her first time apart parents for this long. She is adorable and we are having a great time! I just did her nails yesterday in afternoon and she looks at them with a big smile and thanks me, it is so lovely comment!
I see you are finally done and I wish you the best summer vacations till now, and the less for the other ones 😛
I always love your posts, cuz they bring out the best of your and the best of everyone! I love strong women, they are the best example to prove that we girl run the world(like Beyonce song huh)! Cuz we do baby! 😀
I love the outfits you have put there and the words from those lovely powerful ladies! And I do believe that the best way to be hot and cool is to be you, yourself, and tell the world who are you and what you can do!
Sending you lots of kisses and hugs!

Shin! I am in love with this post! I too am inspired by strong women, like yourself! Thank you so much for sharing something so personal on my blog! You show such courage, strength and an honesty thats admirable. It’s soooo comforting to know that I am not alone on my journey. What I am also learning is that it’s okay to be vulnerable and it’s ok to share and ask for help when needed. It’s the only way to grow and evolve and become a stronger individual.
You’re awesome! Talk soon :).
XOXOX Abby
These pictures remind me of the kind of fashion you would see at an outdoor music festival, like Coachella.
I love music festival fashion.
I wish I could replicate the look myself, but I am nowhere near boho/hippie enough for that.

great stuff Darling! How was your weekend? I love all the outfits you posted and share your inspiration for strong and independant women! I feel quite often inspired by bloggers around the World! xxx
I love these photos, they have such individual, strong styles & are all so eclectic.

I love this! Strong, intelligent, professional women who happen to own enviable wardrobes filled endlessly with gorgeous gorgeous clothes. I dream of one day becoming that kind of women! A girl with beauty and brains is always more respectable than a girl that goes on beauty alone. Fabulous post! Very inspiring!

Weekend? what are you talking about? lol
Here is monday! and IN MY LIFE monday means: work + college + studies and sometimes.. a little bit of time to blogging 🙂
But yes, is a nice day, and I arrive early at home so I’m here.. enjoying my “normal monday”
See you!
Oh I really like the look of the first pictures.Thanks so much for dropping by and for wishing us a nice fourth of July. I hope that your fourth has been great and that you have been able to just relax and enjoy it!! You sure deserve it!!
Happy 4th of July! This is a really great post and I loved the excerpt about the women’s favorite wardrobe pieces. I think the Etsy seller also has the tea and kettle necklace available in gold if you’re after more sparkle.
happy 4th! there’s nothing better than strong, successful & stylish women!
BE HOT !!! 😀
