Sometimes it takes laser focus to make a goal a reality. That's the world we're living in this week. We're crossing things off a giant list and before you know it, we'll be celebrating. Sometimes you gotta keep your eye on the prize… life is good! What have you guys been up to this week? It's fully summertime weather here, what about you? xo. elsie
Awesome weather here in Ottawa, Canada (sweltering hot in fact….as I like it). The trees are so fluffy with leaves it’s unbelievable! I need to focus to though. Gotta make a list of my own and attack it with full force. Thanks for you’re daily does of inspiration 🙂
I’m currently up in beautiful Tofino, BC Canada. It’s my first time in Canada from England and I love it! Stay focused girls and you’ll soon be able to have another holiday to kick back and feel very proud of what you’ve worked so hard to achieve. Love Christine x
I am at the stage right now where I am creating that giant list….dreaming up things I want to accomplish, planning my sunny days to the fullest and sipping coffee while I do it. I cannot wait to enjoy the fruit of your labors!!
In my town (in Brazil), it’s crazy weather time, with lots of rain, clouds, wind, and then, five minutes later: sunny, clear blue sky and hot summer breeze. I just don’t get it.
Reach your goals, and tell us all about it!
Love your pictures!
Yep, the sun came out in full force this week and instead of making me super focused like you guys, I’ve been feeling lazy and easily distracted. Love the sunshine though!
Totally with you on this one. A list a mile long. I sigh when I look at it but it feel fantastic crossing something off. This week I’m all about organizing and planning.
I’ve been totally focused on designing my blog and finally I’m totally happy with it. I made the background and all my header plus follow buttons on illustrator. I feel like I really achieved something this week and Ihad so much fun doing it.

Working on my blog after taking the BlogLove ECourse! It takes great focus. If you’re interested in seeing how I took your suggestions and made them my own, check it out!!
Yes, beautiful and inspiring images! The summer has been super hot here in Arizona, 100F average…you’re right about that laser-like focus – – 100% pure dedication and commitment!
That is actually fantastic advice! Eyes on the prize. Your blog posts like this are a constant source of inspiration and a reminder to stick with things in order to achieve dreams. x

Emma!
One question!
Would guys possibly be open to making a post about how to wear summery dresses in the winter?
I love my summer dresses, my only dresses, but it’s so cold in Fort Wayne, Indiana!
If so, thanks bunches!
Love those brown oxfords! Just bought a similar pair online today 🙂
Surprisingly it’s still pretty cool here (the Bay Area trails behind everyone else when it comes to weather, clearly), but I have a ton of work I need to get done on my computer so I’ve been stuck indoors!
Wishing you all the motivation and inspiration as you guys continue down your to-do list!
I keep meditating on the truth that a little bit done every day can move you farther ahead than you can imagine. Reaching my goals requires small measures taken consistently over time–or elese I get too overwhelmed to get anything done!
I just reviewed my big checklist to see about crossing some more off. I need to divide what I have left into the next 6 months so I get everything done. It’s nice when you have someone to keep you motivated.
Unbelievably the sun is shining in Oxford, United Kingdom!! it makes such a difference as everyone wears colourful and flowing clothes, lots of smiles and generally a happier population! And of course my daily dose of A Beautiful Mess just rounds the day off perfectly 🙂
We’re in the middle of a heatwave here it London! It’s nice to see the sun out during the day, but the nights are very uncomfortable :L
My week has mostly been exams… I can’t wait for exam season to be over! 🙂
P.S. I really love your pictures, can’t wait for the photography book to come out!
It’s cloudy today..boo…but I’m trying to get focused in the health aspect of my life. I’ve been going to the gym a LOT lately, feeling good and feeling BETTER now that I’m not sore!
It’s definatly summer here in Illinois too! I have worked a long hard week here in the office and after work today I have a three day weekend in store, yay!
Just got back from a trip so I am now trying to get back to “focused” mode. I love it when I have lots of creative ideas in my head but wish there was more time to act on all of them. I find it best to just make a list and work with purpose to check off things one-by-one! Have a super day!
It was… slightly cold today but warm. The sun was shining which was amazing. Today was also my brother’s birthday so I spent the day by his side. He turned 9! Boy, do they grow up fast….

Sadly, wet and grey and raining here. I don’t mind the rain, but with everyone talking about summer, I’m jealous!

It’s so hot! But that might be an exageration for some because I live in Minnesota. I am loving it though. And trying to stay focused for finals!
Gorgeous photos per usual! I always gain so much inspiration from your photography/posts 🙂
