Get Inspired With Polli

I feel so honored to be a guest blogger for Miles of Style! I am Soné Moriarty from Polli. I hope my posts will inspire you and whisk you into a dreamy dimension.

These photographs reminded me a bit of my childhood for some reason, maybe it's the thought of laying down in a field of flowers? What is your best childhood memory?

Time seems to be ticking away every minute of every hour. The only way of making the best use of your time is to use it in a positive and fulfilling way! Remember to do things that you like and enjoy. Follow your dreams and desires and remember to be yourself!

I have had a full on week of baking for some reason! It's like I couldn't help myself but to bake chocolate chip cookies all week long. The only descent explanation would be that I have found an easy recipe which only takes 10 minutes of my time! I hope you have enjoyed my posts and that your feeling rather inspired!

Much Love, Polli.

Life In Pink

I’m well aware that Pink and men don’t exactly go hand in hand. And yet I’m quite hopeful of convincing my husband about the absolute joy of waking up in a pink walled bedroom… someday!

Perhaps these pictures can help me illustrate my case better.

This lovely home belongs to Camilla and Benjamin Trigano. I love how soothing, romantic and unpretentious it is. All the bedrooms in the house are painted in a calming shade of pink. The couple claims that these bare pink walls helps them de-clutter their minds and unwind.

I think little touches of Pink here and there is a nice way to give your bedroom a facelift. How do you feel about sharing a pink living space with your man?

Monday Mornings Inspiration

Hello Bloggy Friends! Welcome to a new week of fashion, decoration, styling, photography and creative inspiration. But first a quote and a pretty picture or two to shake off those Monday morning blues…

“If you see a difference between where you are and where you want to be - consciously change your thoughts, words, and actions to match your grandest vision.”

~ Neal Donald Walsch

Monday Morning Inspiration

Happy Monday lovelies! Did you all have a good weekend? Here it’s been closet organizing and leisurely afternoon naps, playing tennis and attending birthday parties, long romantic drives and stepping over the first of fall’s crunchy fallen leaves.

But now it’s back to work and before the busy-ness of this week takes over here’s a little Monday Morning Inspiration to get you started.

Bunkum and tummyrot! You’ll never get anywhere if you go about what-iffing like that. Would Columbus have discovered America if he had said ‘What if I sink on the way over? What if I meet pirates? What if I never come back?’ He wouldn’t even have started.

Work on those lovely impossible dreams today… What if you succeed? :)
