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.

What you think,
you become.

What you feel,
you attract.

What you imagine,
you create.

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.

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 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 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.

Midweek Wisdom and Airport Celebs # 3

Happy hump day!
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
arriving in New York in 1968.

I'd love to think that this is something she would have said.

Midweek Wisdom + Airport Celebs

I found a series of vintage photos of celebs at the airport
 via Conde Nast Traveler
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
leaving La Guardia airport in NYC and heading to Chicago for the premiere of Some Like It Hot
and below it a quote from Mahatma Ghandi
