Finding beauty means paying attention and choosing to look, even when everything feels heavy. It requires focus and intention to see past the noise, and notice what’s still there. Seeking beauty is work worth doing, because noticing the beauty in the world, the good, is how we endure.

Diana Vreeland dismantled the idea that beauty equals attraction. She believed attraction was constructed through confidence, point of view, curiosity, and nerve.  #DianaVreeland #TasteMaker #FashionIcon
