The Four Agreements

lovepuppy:

In an attempt to focus myself, I’m getting back to one of the first life changing books I added to my library - The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. It’s a quick and easy read and a great way to change your head. In a nutshell:

Agreement 1

Be impeccable with your word - Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.

Agreement 2

Don’t take anything personally - Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.

Agreement 3

Don’t make assumptions - Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.

Agreement 4

Always do your best - Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.

Sweetheart, you’d actually have to try to accomplish this. :(

Hey Ex Best Friend/Boyfriend

Even thouigh I don’t “follow” you anymore, I still check your tumblr every day! Sometimes more than once!!

I cannot help myself!

lovepuppy:

I cannot believe you had a crush on that girl. Does an Indian accent trump fluent Japanese?

Cunt.

There are two surefire ways I can tell if I like a boy.

1. I don’t like any other boys

2. I cannot fall asleep without him.

You cannot fall asleep without a dude?

Messi’s archive has some goooooood shit.

I’m doing custom corsets for some totally awesome NY girls.  I made this one when I was in college and its way too big (it used to suck me in a lot more!)

Love the concept of bringing back 60s silhouettes, but don’t love the way they have these two posed. Can’t she be doing something a little… stronger? like.. on her own?

STRONGER? REALLY? You little cunt.

SHOULDN’T YOU BE DOING SOMETHING A LITTLE STRONGER? LIKE ON YOUR OWN? Hey asshole, keep claiming the blog is full-time. You are supported by your husband and don’t have a job. Grow up you poor pathetic little girl.

"I wanted to like this book, because I am a reader of the blog, and I kind of feel bad for writing a negative review, but I’ve got to tell the truth like I see it. I sadly cannot say that I liked it. I didn’t absolutely hate this book, but it was very disappointing, to say the least. I wanted to learn how to apply style to myself, not hear all about Jessica’s anecdotes and see Jessica’s outfits. The title of the book is unfortunately accurate…it’s about Jessica. I’m sure she’s a sweet person and I wish her well, but honestly, this book sucked and is NOT worth the $10 I spent."

"I bought the e-book version of this book because I have been a reader of WIW and wanted to support Jessica but I felt like this book was only about Jessica and not about what EVERY woman should wear. When I read this book I realized it is a 1 note kind of thing. All of the outfits are what would look good only on her body type and it’s not about what would look good on several different body types. I don’t fit the mold so I don’t relate. I’m sure she would say, “then it’s not for you,” but that’s what I thought style books were about - how everyone can translate something into something that works for them. Reading this also made me realize that her outfits have become less creative and fun as her blog got more attention and popularity and that a lot of these illustrations are pictures of things she’s received c/o a brand. Is that more advertisement? I’m a little disappointed and would suggest you buy Nina Garcia’s book or a What Not to Wear book if you’re really looking for a global style perspective. Perhaps her next book will be more inclusive and not exclusive."

I had such an awesome time at the ADAM party on Tuesday night!! Here with Adam Lippes, the namesake designer,

She’s carrying the cork purse! And looks like shit.

"There’s a big book convention in NYC right now. Random House has a huge booth and many of their authors are doing book (galley) signings. No Messica. No sales or marketing materials for her book. It’s not even in their catalog (fall 2011 w/ releases starting in August). I think it was supposed to have an earlier release and it may have been on the spring list, but it’s pushed back to Aug now. If you were a book buyer at this week’s convention, you’d never even know said crap book exists. Grace Bonney/Design Sponge book comes out on August and her publisher has marketing materials for potential buyers and a
28 city tour. The booth was swamped with fans!"
