Woman Crush Wednesday: The Quotable Doré
Ever find someone that you admire? You scour books, magazines, and the web to find out more about the person, but the more you find out, the more you like about that person. That is exactly what has happened to me with author, photographer, artist, and fellow blogger, Garance Doré.
Just over one week from her book signing here at Club Monaco and I'm still on a blogger high. I knew her work. I had seen her illustrations and even read her pieces, but it wasn't until I met her that I finally felt like I've discovered my blogging/writing inspiration. Humble, down to earth, funny, and chic as she wants to be, Garance has given me a serious energy and inspiration boost.
So for this week's Woman Crush Wednesday, here are just a few of some of my favorite quotes, illustrations, and of course, products by Madmoiselle Doré herself. Get some serious inspiration from her blog.
"I always ask myself, 'what's my point of view?'" she explained. "Do I have something to bring to people and how can I evolve that in a way that's true to me, so I don't just copy what I used to be or try to emulate what I see around me? I'm a storyteller - like a lot of people, it's not magic - but I think about my story; how do I share it and also do I make you have a better day? That's important to me. What else is there?"
"Substance is not there just because there's a big quote on an image telling you about life."
"I hope it will last forever, but maybe it will be just a few days, and it will be great either way. Because you never stop learning about love. Love is joy, pain, surrender, laughter, pleasure. Love is chemistry. Love is one of life’s greatest adventures. And with love, we’re kids forever, stumbling and learning as life unfolds. And this is why, whatever happens, we must keep our hearts open."
"The best way to be stylish is to edit ourselves."
And now for the goodies! Happy Wednesday loves!
