Girls Just Want to Have Fun! Part 2

It's time for the weekend ladies, so you know what that means. It's time to shake off the weight of the work week and stand tall with determination in our eyes and conviction in our hearts!

Forget the stilettos and sparkles this time, let's hit the town in our best cloak of confidence and make the boys go woah. Let it shimmer, let it shine because our flaws are beautiful, our minds are brilliant, and if they don't see it, then we don't care.

Let's make decisions based on courage even when we're scared, persevere with strength also when hurts, and keep the hope alive though we can't see the light.

Because if there's one thing I learned in the past year it's that when we show up for life, life shows up for us. I dare you to try it!

Wising you a dream catching, confidence boosting, good weekend my loves!

P.S. Last Friday's post was such a hit that I've decided to make this a weekly series here on Plush Palate. A girlpower anthem of sorts to kick off our weekends! I'm currently taking name idea for the series so if you have a good one, please leave me a comment!

Girls Just Want to Have Fun!

Let's ease ourselves into the weekend ladies, shall we?

Let's get lost in the bright summer day as it folds into a glistening moonlit sky. Because the evening is young, the air is sultry, and the possibilities are endless, let's pull out that sparkly little number we've been saving for the perfect occasion (now) and slip on those sky-high sling-backs because weekends are for dreamers and dreamers definitely have more fun (sorry blondes). Let's shake off the duty of our most professional selves and toss the to-do list to the wind, because hey, we deserve it!

Of course, anything less than a space as glamorous as we are is completely non-negotiable. Let's remember that there's substance in style, value in beauty, and that neither should be forgotten. Let the softness of the flokati take you to a lofty place, let the rich hues of blueberry blue and raspberry red warm your heart. Let the balance of perfectly poised furniture bring calm to your eyes and soothe your senses. And just for fun, hang a crazy mobile from your living room ceiling because design is fun and so are you.

Like Audrey, I was born with an enormous need for affection and a terrible need to give it, so why don't we cook up a little romance in our lives while we're at it. Hug that huz a little tighter, kiss your boyfriend with wild abandon, lock eyes with the cute boy on the corner, and never settle for anyone less than Mr. Right. Although Mr. Right Now is perfectly acceptable too.

Wishing you a champagne popping, disco beat bumping, good weekend my love!
