"It's the little things that make the big things possible. Only close attention to the fine details of any operation makes the operation first class."

Midweek Wisdom #9 ~ Black And White Chanel

Don't you just love hats?

I think they add such glamour,

especially to black and white images.

Here are some gorgeous black and whites, with hats, and a quote for your midweek wisdom:

There are some things that

money cannot buy.

Like manners, morals,

intelligence and class.

Midweek Wisdom #8

Do you ever wake up and have no idea where you are, or even what time zone you are in??
I just got back from a few days traveling.
And when I woke up this morning I thought I was in Europe. 
But unfortunately I wasn't.

When you're not sure which way is up, there's nothing like a little midweek wisdom to get you back on track. 
When I look at Paul McCartney I wonder if he ever had self doubt? or did he just trust the path he was on??
Scroll down for today's quote.

Paul McCartney in Stockholm airport 1963

What you think,

you become.

What you feel,

you attract.

What you imagine,

you create.

~ Buddha

Midweek Wisdom ~ Gregory Peck

Even all these years later, I would have to say that the days I spent working with Greg Peck were some of the most wonderful days of my career. 
I absolutely adored this man.
We would talk for hours, and he was always endlessly fascinating and completely charming. He was both my client and my friend.

Today's Midweek Wisdom has 2 of his quotes, followed by one other that is also the kind of statement he would make.

I'm not a do-gooder. It embarrassed me to be classified as a humanitarian. I simply take part in activities that I believe in.

Gregory Peck

Gregory Peck withe his wife Veronique in 1958

Tough times don't last, tough people do, remember?

Gregory Peck

You will always be too much of something for someone:

too big, too loud, too soft, too edgy. 

If you round out your edges, you lose your edge.

Apologize for the mistakes. 

Apologize for unintentionally hurting someone - profusely.

But don't apologize for being who you are.

I never get tired of looking at pictures of Audrey Hepburn.
She is iconic, timeless, the epitome of femininity and a very approachable beauty.
I love her body of work, and I love her body of good works.
I also love her quotes. I have one for you below.
I believe...

Audrey Hepburn, Rome 1968



I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner.
I believe in kissing, kissing a lot.
I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong.
I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls.
I believe that tomorrow is another day and
I believe in miracles.

Happy Hump day!

Here is some midweek wisdom

that you should take to heart...

Frank Sinatra 1956

"Always be careful of what you hear about a woman.

Rumors either come from a man

who can't have her,

or a woman who can't compete with her"

It's time for a little midweek wisdom

paired with a vintage photo of a celeb at an airport.

This week is the irrepressible Liz Taylor

I found a series of vintage photos of celebs at the airport

and was thinking, while it lasts

we could do a little midweek wisdom to get us through hump day

and pair it with a fabulous photo 

of a fabulous celeb 

being fabulous.

Who better to get the ball rolling

on the final day of 2014

than Marilyn Monroe?

Here is beautiful Marilyn Monroe
