January and its blues are finally over. Time to get ready for Spring and its beauties.

Planning ahead for the most wonderful season of the year is one thing but being actually ready is another; so are you ready to fully embrace Spring and its world of possibilities?

Here are a few tips to fully appreciate and have the right mindset for the next months.

-Make the most of your hibernation time

Make sure you do plenty of hibernation in the next few weeks because when Spring knocks on your door, there's plenty of outdoor activity for you to enjoy. From walking to brunching outside or barbequing, you are likely to spend most days open air.

-Find a new hobby

Research a new class or maybe have a chat with a friend and find a nice activity to do together. Maybe a walking club? Surely something that will help you make the most of your time together.

-Find a spring song

Something that will give you the right motivation to fully enjoy the Spring month. What's better than music to unveil your most secret passions and pleasures?

-Clean and de-clutter

Get rid of everything you don't need anymore. A nice house cleaning and de-cluttering will set your mind right for the Spring months.

-Start a new adventure



A guitar course? Get a new dog? Just simply bring some extra sunshine into your life *

-Stop postponing

The spring season is the perfect season to start something new and maybe focus a little bit more on your dreams.

Spring is coming and it's time to get ready now.

Enjoy!

We loved the Golden Globes this week and we loved, even more, watching our favourite actresses looking amazing and inspiring not only with their style but also with their powerful words.

Please have a look at our top 3 favourite celebrities of the week, what they wore and, most importantly, what they said!


Enjoy!




1) Meryl Streep

How could we not mention the beautiful Meryl Streep?
Meryl collected her Cecil B DeMille award in a beautiful Givenchy Haute Couture by Riccardo Tisci gown and left us in absolute awe with, maybe, one of the best speeches ever delivered at any award.

Here's a short passage:

"And this instinct to humiliate, when it’s modelled by someone in the public platform, by someone powerful, it filters down into everybody’s life, because it kind of gives permission for other people to do the same thing. Disrespect invites disrespect. Violence incites violence. When the powerful use their position to bully others, we all lose.




2) Emma Stone

Emma Stone in this one of a kind Valentino was effortlessly beautiful. After winning the Golden Globe for La La Land, she said:

"This is a film for dreamers. I think that hope and creativity are two of the most important things in the world. To any creative person who has had a door slammed in their face … or anyone who feels like giving up … I share this with you."


3) Evan Rachel Wood

Looking awesome in a suit by Altuzarra, the mesmerising Westworld's actress said:

"This is a custom suit by Altuzarra. This is my third nomination. I've been to the Globes six times, and I’ve worn a dress every time. And I love dresses. I’m not trying to protest dresses. But I wanted to make sure that young girls and women know that they aren’t a requirement. And you don’t have to wear one if you don’t want to. And to just be yourself because your worth is more than that.

So, I said, this year I’m going homage to Marlene Dietrich and Victor/Victoria and David Bowie, because it’s his birthday."




Wow, we feel truly inspired by these ladies. Don't you?
