5 Loves | January

January 28th, 2010

How’s everyone’s January? It’s a big month as we work on creating a year to enjoy and in which to feel fully present. It’ll help to keep your Style Statement close at hand for guidance, and to indulge from time to time in little treats. Here are a few of mine this month:

  1. Lonny: A former Domino magazine editor created this online design magazine that draws on London & New York and features fashion, gardening, and home tours … and you can shop online! This issue (only their second) is all about “people living out their passions.”
  2. Iconoclasts: Sundance Channel offers a series of intimate conversations captured on video between leading visionaries … one of the most fascinating I watched was between Mike Meyers and Deepak Chopra.
  3. Inspirational Women: Found this little gem of a video on YouTube—the creator wanted to express how inspired she is by unforgettable movie stars like Meryl Streep, Susan Sarandon, Audrey Hepburn, etc. Talk about style …
  4. Time for you: Before the end of the month, give yourself permission to let go of chores like laundry, dishes or making your bed. Instead relax into some quiet time. Meditate, write a note, go for a walk, or do absolutely nothing!
  5. Perk up your taste buds: No need to sacrifice calories for flavor. On 101cookbooks.com, Heidi Swanson creates recipes primarily focused on natural whole foods. Cozy up with a fabulous book and dip into a bittersweet chocolate tart.
