Happy Monday ShuGar readers! Since summer is in full swing, I thought it would be fun to do a summer mood board inspired by the Summer Lovin’ art piece in the middle (insert John Travolta & Olivia Newton John singing). I’d like to start a new feature on the blog dedicated to my blog’s theme of Love called ShuGar Fix Mondays. We all know Mondays can be particularly challenging, so I like the idea of adding some much-needed sweetness to the beginning of our work week. I will be posting pretty inspirations to help get our work week started in a sweet way!

When I think of summer, I think of the movie Grease and also of this Sea of Love cover by Cat Power.

 

 

I am practicing letting life flow through me and not letting the negative things stick, much like waves in the ocean. I want to be someone that let’s things go and is able to embrace all the complexities of life. What better time to do it than summertime! These pieces above all evoke a sense of summer and hopefully give you a dose of pretty ShuGar for your Monday.

Feeling Nude

You know when you have those days when you want to just “be”? There is no need for too much of anything because you only want to feel simple and classic.

The older I get, the more comfortable I am in my own skin, regardless of the vulnerability associated with this exposure.  In my 30’s, I have acquired a sense of empowerment knowing that I have embodied my true self. I am me and I make no excuses for all that I am. I am a work-in-progress when it comes to my weaknesses, and I understand my strengths. More importantly, I love me and I am not interested in having anyone in my life who doesn’t treat me with respect.

Well, I have been gravitating towards more nude and blush tones when it comes to my fashion choices.  But, of course, it wouldn’t be my style without a touch of sparkle.  In this case, a sprinkle of gold adds just enough glamour. Behold my nude inspiration board inspired by the center picture of a woman dripping in gorgeous nude fashion.
