Happy friday friends!

This week I am reading about the beauty routine of Olivia Kim, VP Creative of Opening Ceremony, savouring 50 inspiring quotes compiled by a new favourite blog, and eating up 20 refreshing money management tips by Danielle LaPorte. Oh and you must check out I Want to Be Her!

I want to be her I am a huge fan of Lucky Magazine's outfit focused editorial spreads and especially loved Andrea Linnet's Fashion Babble back page. Andrea recently left Lucky magazine to be Creative Director for Ebay Fashion, but started this site for her fans with the same illustrator for that very back page. Fun and outfit-inspiring!

Into the Gloss I am fascinated by the beauty routines of other women. What they use, how they use it and why. This unique beauty blog explores the must-have's, new discoveries and fool-proof routines of women in the fashion industry.

20 Personal money practiced that got me to a place of grooving prosperity Danielle LaPorte shares her wise money philosophy. I love what she says about creating a relationship with money that works for you. Its such an interesting question really...what's your relationship with money?

How to Be Yourself You've heard the quote, "Be yourself because everyone else is taken?" Chris Gillebeau explores how to remember who "yourself" is first. How can you be yourself if you've unlearned who that is? Fascinating and so thought provoking...

50 Inspiring Quotes courtesy of The Bold Life. We are a quotes generation. We love to read them, write them and share them. My favourite from this list:

"So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon seem inevitable."
