feminine with edge WORKSPACES

One thing we have learned at

O N E  G I R L

is sprucing up your work area

or creative space makes a huge

difference in productivity

and

well-being.

Know what we mean?

Similar to the boost a few new pieces added

to your wardrobe can bring,

some simple stylish changes to your

work area can be inspiring.

BTW.

There's 'paper work,'

and then there is

oooh, paper, you work it!

Here is a collection of beautiful spaces

(and note they are small spaces!)

with the right balance of

femininity,

edge,

and

the

unexpected.

Isn't this a clever tabletop when space is tight?

Who says clutter can't be beautiful?

If you have been dying to have a gallery wall,

think about introducing one to your workspace!

A place to rest your feet can be pretty.

Again, an itty bitty space lives big.

We thought this was a great idea for storage:

mix matched boxes look chic.

Very geometric and clutter-free.

Go vertical!

We all need this kind of magic wardrobe.

Who knew a simple gold dot could

motivate us to work?

Are you inspired to inject a little more style into

your work/study/crafting space or maybe

create one for yourself?

Stop into the shop for lots more

inspiring ideas for your wardrobe and life!

And thank you for making One Girl's Night Out

a success...let's do the whole
wine, clothes & beauty again, baby!

Peace.

let your heart be light

...because even if you don't know it fully

at this moment, you are loved

and

never alone.

...because we are all fighting a battle

and

extra patience,

extra kindness,

and extra sensitivity

make a difference

and

matter.

...because it looks good on you,

you with the dreams

and the hope

for things

unseen.

...because you are completely unique,

and there is no limit to your

potential and crazywild

ability to see things

differently.

...because dark and moody hearts

are so five years ago.

...because when you focus on what is right and good,

more good, and more right

will come back to you.

I wish you lovely spring days

of lightness, friends.

Drop by the shop

and see what's

making my

own heart

beat

faster.

Mark your calendars:

magic happens

Say what you will about trends and fashion which
may come and go, but wanna know what
O N E  G I R L
loves about it?



Expressing yourself with fashion is an artistic exercise in FUN.




The rules and 'you can't do thats' cropping up in daily life
sort of get balanced out when you can wear roses,
a braided headband, and two-tone lip color.

You're such a renegade, you!



And here's the kicker:
nobody gets hurt.
In fact, on a good day when your personal
style choices engage someone else
and the two of you get to chatting...



Things could PING!
They could perhaps PONG!
Fuchsia pink bougainvillea could suddenly
burst into bloom all around you.
Just because.
Of that sweater. With those shorts.




It seems to One Girl,
'Fake it till you make it' 
applies big time
to fashion
because let's face it:
you're not always
in a great mood
when it's time to
get dressed
to face the day.




Clothing and accessories work voodoo with moods though!
You start out faking, but before you know it,
you are MAKING.
And MAKING is good.
MAKING looks nice on you.



I know, I know, again with the braidlicious boho hair.
Isn't it swell?
And isn't the lip color just crazybeautiful and maybe even
m  a  g  i  c?

It is almost May, and do you think it's just
a coincidence that the month begins with the same
letter as
the M word?



'Cause ONE GIRL doesn't.
You have the power to make May magical.
Not by passively watching it slip into June.
But by embracing it with every positive
fiber in your being.



That's when the magic will come.
Your outfits will encourage the magic.
Your self-confidence will invite more magic.
At the very least, when your clothes make you
feel cute, you are likely to cast a spell.






Happy spring and pre-summer, friends!
We hope you will push yourselves
to discover all of the magic
within and allow
ONE GIRL
to ride the wave with you.

Peace.

color me bold

O n e  G i r l
is
feelin' inspired by
bold and sassy
COLOR
today.

We love neutrals. We do.
They are chic.
They work so well for the everyday.
They make our wardrobe uber flexible.
But.
They can often lack fun factor.

F.U.N.
Remember fun?

Yes, it's too early to be showing you short shorts.
But after amazing weather in the midwest over the weekend,
I'm thinking: LET'S JUST CALL THIS PRE-SUMMER!

Look no further than nature all around you
for inspiring fun boldlicious color
that makes you feel ALIVE.



Speaking of feeling alive,
when was the last time you worked up a sweat?
'Cause if it has been a while, I highly
recommend you stop in at OG to chat
about simple ways you can
improve your health
and change
your
body.



Bold color can often boost your mood.

It serves such a cool purpose in nature.

And often reflects confidence.
(So why not start with a colorful
piece of clothing and see
where it leads you?)

Electric colors that were so popular in the 80s
are still going strong.





But it's not the matchy matchy neons that were so glam back then.
It is definitely more about mixing it up.

Can every body type get away with super skinny
candy pink jeans? 

It depends!
As long as you layer with a sleek silhouette in mind,
skinny jeans are your friend whether you're curvy
or built boyishly chic.

Accessories are the easiest way for you to
make a bold color statement.

And wearing just one bold color with no accessories
at all can be a powerful thing:

 ooooh this is so one girl chic!

Give yourself permission to go forth boldly.

Don't feel forced to buy all
brown and black and boring when
there is a colorful rainbow
of hues out there
which would look
pretty dang awesome
on you.

Have a wonderful week,
and please stop by
for more OG
inspiration!

Peace.
