Your Thursday Confidence Boost from...Audrey Hepburn

It's Thursday and that means it's time for our weekly dose of inspiration from ladies with major wisdom! This post concerns one of my personal idols, Audrey Hepburn. I've always adored her sweet, calm demeanor and her delicate beauty. What a LADY. Let's take a look at some of my favorite images of her and read some sage thoughts!

“The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.” 

“The most important thing is to enjoy your life—to be happy—it's all that matters.”

“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.” 

Enjoy your Thursday, kittens <3

Your Thursday Confidence Boost From...Joan Rivers

Happy Thursday, kittens! It's that time of the week where we look at a fabulous person and glean some inspiration and confidence from their words of wisdom.

This week, I thought I'd highlight Joan Rivers, the hilarious comedienne who passed away a few weeks ago. To say she was one of my favorite ladies would be an understatement. Whenever I got the chance, I would watch Fashion Police and any red carpet events on E!, waiting for her next comment. She had an incredible take on fashion and pop culture. Her jokes and observations were raw and at times crude. However, Joan's talent was to discuss what everyone else was too afraid to say. She was a friend to the LGBT community, as well as bringing designer fashion to the forefront of our minds (Who ARE you wearing dahhhhling??).

Let's take some inspiration from Joan Rivers today and remember to speak our minds/be open towards all things. May she rest in peace and may her jokes and legacy live on!

 "I enjoy life when things are happening. I don't care if it's good things or bad things. That means you're alive. Things are happening."

"Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is God's gift, that's why we call it the present."

Enjoy your Thursday, everyone! <3

Your Thursday Confidence Boost From...Coco Chanel

Thursdays can be rough - it's STILL not Friday and there's a lot to get done. I've dedicated Thursday on Fashion Maeven to being a healthy dose of quotes and images from people who inspire me!

Our words of wisdom today are coming from the legendary Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel, also known as Coco. She was ambitious, driven, and determined to make her business work. She helped liberate women from the corseted looks that had been prevalent for hundreds of years. Her iconic clothing line and perfume are still the epitome of elegance today. Tweed suits and jersey are a wardrobe staple because of her. She also cemented the permanence of the little black dress into fashion culture forever. This woman really KNEW what was up.

If you're feeling a little down today, here are some of Coco's inspirational words to help you feel a little more chic and fabulous. Embrace your inner diva!!

"I don't care what you think about me. I don't think about you at all.” 

“Success is most often achieved by those who don't know that failure is inevitable.” 

‘A girl should be two things: who and what she wants.’

Happy Thursday kittens <3
