♥…put pen to paper and write a magazine article all about the glamorous person you aspire to be? Keep it on hand as inspiration. Who knows, one day it may be a reality!♥…cast your schoolbooks aside and immerse yourself in the childish yet oh-so magical worlds of Peter Pan, The Little Prince, and Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Even better, pretend you’re one of the characters as you’re reading – I call dibs on Wendy Darling!
♥…devote an entire weekend to searching for perfection? Scour the shops for the little black dress you’ve always dreamed of, browse boutique after boutique for a pair of boots with the power to reawaken your wardrobe. Your mission, my loves, is to shop until you find the paradigmatic piece to complete you!
♥…find a quiet abandoned field and spend the day picking dandelions in a frisky frock like Madison Marcus' Engage Dress? Don’t forget to say the magic words after you blow each and every winter white whisker away…"Dandelion, puffs away, make my wish come true someday."
♥…order a Red Rose and Calla Lily or Fields of Europe for Spring flower bouquet and have it delivered straight to your door? If anyone asks, tell them they’re from a secret admirer. A very cute secret admirer.
Fashionably yours!
Thanks to We ♥ It for the picture.

I love Le Petit Prince!
ReplyDeleteLove that picture. Your posts, especially the "why don't you" ones, are always so inspirational -- add a happy note to my days :) And in a week and a half, the schoolbooks ARE going to be cast aside in favor of a fairytale -- that's going to by my spring break reading!

ReplyDeleteGreat inspiration here today. Particularly putting pen to paper. Putting those thoughts and dreams into words has a way of giving them life, bringing them even closer. And we were just quoting Peter Pan the other day here in my fam - "Think wonderful thoughts!" Not a bad credo to have.
ReplyDeleteFabulous links, darling E!
ReplyDeleteAm especially loving those Golden Goose boots!

All of these sound lovely! I think the first one is a great idea, I really should do that.
ReplyDeleteThat engage dress is really cute! I love the shape and the color. It is unique and I really like that.
I love how your kitty is "the boy" lol. I call my kitty Mary "girl cat" all the time. :)
How inspiring is this post? I wish I could toss my laptop and work aside and go do all of these things, especially watch The Little Prince!!
ReplyDeleteI really like the first, second and fourth one. I think I'll do all three!

ReplyDeleteoh i would! if only i could step away from my schoolbooks for once and relive my childhood fantasies, alice in wonderland is my absolute favourite!
ReplyDeleteand spend the entire weekend looking for perfection? please. Im on some training weekend blergh!
Oh I'm totally putting pen to paper tonight and writing a magazine article! I've also been wanting to make a vision board lately... I'm a huge believer in positive thinking and dreams coming true. xoxo
ReplyDeleteI would love to be able to forget about school work for the weekend and just go shopping. Wouldn't that be fantastic?
ReplyDeleteI'm loving those boots, by the way! Perfect!
So as soon as the page loaded, I seriously thought I was looking at Taylor Swift. lol
ReplyDeleteyou always have lovely ideas. anyone who thinks they are bored should read your 'why don't you' list. it really sparks inspiration and ideas. :)
ReplyDeleteVery inspirational! Thanks for the feedback too.
ReplyDeleteAlice in Wonderland while picking dandelions truly sounds magical! :)
ReplyDeleteI have another twist to your last suggestion of having flowers delivered. Every year, I order a bunch of Daffodils from the Daffodil Days hosted by the American Cancer Society. I love watching them bloom over time and I especially love that the proceeds go towards finding a cure for cancer! It's a win/win for everyone :)

You know what I always wanted to do? Write a magazine-like interview of me. Something like "a day in the life of Meream" sort of thing. Haha. Egotistic much? :D

Ohh this is so sweet! Thought-provoking-positive indeed! I think every woman deserves a little fairy-tale role every once in a while. Considering the many roles that we women can already play, a little whimsical fancy role shouldn't hurt! :) xoxo Erika!
