New Years Inspiration (2014 Blogger Challenge - Topic 1)

Hi Everyone!

Let me share with you a few things before we start. I am taking part in the 2014 Blogger Challenge and I am so excited to be apart of it! The first topic that we are to make a post about is "New Years Inspiration." I am going to be sharing with you words and pictures that are inspiring to me.

Let's Get Started!

When I first received the message telling me that the topic to be discussed would be New Years Inspiration, I had no idea what to talk about. I do not think I am an inspirational person in any way. When I think of someone inspirational I think of people who have changed the world and the places that we live in, people who have made a big impact on others. The more I thought about it, though, the more I thought everyone can be inspirational. You never know who may hear you or listen to what you say and be inspired by it. You can be inspirational even if it only ever reaches one other person because, to them you have made an impact. 


Being inspirational I found out does not have to be standing up on a big stage behind a podium and preaching something to a room of hundreds or thousands. It can be people, like me, siting in there pajamas, rapidly typing on the keyboards of laptops, and posting something for the world to see, never knowing if anyone will read it at all. 


I guess what I am really getting at for my New Years Inspiration is to be Inspirational. Take chances and be outgoing. Now I am not a very outgoing person but my roommate and friend is and I find that inspirational. I wish I could be as outgoing as her and try to, so in sense she is inspirational to me.


Let me now share with you a few inspiring words from me to you.


Step out of your comfort zone at least once a week and say yes to something you would normally never do, make 2014 a year of new experiences. 


Be confident and comfortable with yourself, "Your value doesn't decease based on someone's inability to see your worth." This year do everything for you, do not change yourself or do things because someone else wants you to. Do what makes you happy! You are perfect the way that you are and don't let anyone tell you differently. 


Lastly make your relationships with people important. Surround yourself with people who care about you and love you and vice versa. Find and cherish the friends that you can call at 2am with anything and everything. Let people know that they are important to you.


To wrap up this post let me just reiterate that everyone is inspirational. No matter how many people that you reach you can be considered inspirational. So, my New Years inspiration for you and challenge is to in 2014 be inspirational.


Thank you so much for reading and taking a look!

My Style Inspiration (My Life Wednesday)

Hi Everyone!
 
Today is Wednesday which means it is time for a My Life Wednesday post. This week I decided to talk about where I find my style inspiration. When I thought about this some places seemed obvious and others I had to really think about. I don't think that I have found my one particular style yet and am still experimenting in finding what I like. I'm going to share the people and places that I receive inspiration from.
 
Let's Get Started!
 
The first place that came to my mind right away was YouTube. I will be the first to admit that I am a YouTubeaholic. I could sit and watch videos for a long time.
 
Going off of YouTube I am going to share a few people on YouTube that I love to watch and admire the style that they have. They are all a little bit different and have found different pieces in each persons style that I fit together and make my own.
 
 
If I could have anyone's wardrobe it would be sarahbelle93x. I love her style and look to her regularly for style guidance. Something that I got into because of her are statement necklaces. From her videos have also found many boutiques that I did not know before. She is fun to watch and has such a bubbly attitude in her videos.
 
 
Zoella is the next person that I watch on YouTube. She has a way different style, in my eyes, compared to Sarah. I like how unique her style is and I think my obsession with collared shirts is because of her.
 
 
Feeling comfortable with how I look definitely without a doubt comes from watching Sprinkleofglitter. She is such an inspiration for so many people myself included on truly loving the way that you look. She is gorgeous, bubbly, humorous, and a joy to watch.
 
Those are my top YouTubers that I enjoy to watch and really take there style and even confidence and make it my own.
 
************************************************************************************
 
The next place that I obtain my style inspiration from is from Polyvore. I have been on Polyvore for the last 5 years and have watched how styles and trends have changed through sets. Since then I have even started an account for my blog which if you are on Polyvore you could follow!
 
I love looking through sets in my news feed to see what people are liking or think is at the moment.
 
Here are a few sets.

Next of the obvious places of television and magazines.
 
Television you are able to see the person and know what they are like and what there style is. You can try to emulate them because you want to be like them. Magazines share what is new, what is trendy, what the style for a season is. Magazines help to keep updated on what is in.

Here are a few tv shows and magazines that I like.

Those are just a few of the big places that I get my style inspiration from. Let me know where you get your style inspiration from down in the comments.
Thank you so much for taking a look and reading, it is much appreciated!
