A friend of mine asked me to write about Abundance.

"Abundance?!" I asked. What do you mean write about Abundance?

"I decided that this year would be a year of abundance in every meaning and every way – love, friendship, success, money, health and more", she explained, "that's why if you want your year to be full of all of the things that you wish for yourself, you need to open yourself up to abundance, to wish it upon yourself and all of your readers".

That's an interesting approach… I thought to myself, though I quickly went back to what I was doing. I mean, between us, who has time to think about abundance, when you're busy laying the foundation of a new career and the only thing you have on your mind is an upcoming photoshoot?

After a few days, I went out for a walk around the city to get some inspiration. I visited shops, browsed through clothes, strolled around galleries and even discovered a new boutique hotel. Suddenly, like the old Tetris game, everything fell into place, and the bottom line became clear – it's the end of the minimalist era and the start of the overload era. Abundance!!! 

From everywhere emojis smiled at me, Patches winked at me, pins and drawings turned to me in humor.

For a while now these colorful decorations adorn fabric, shoes and bags, if I'm being honest, I thought this fashion trend would pass quickly or would remain something of the young generation. I mean seriously until what age would you be able to adopt new and surprising fashion trends without looking ridiculous?!

But since I saw this growing trend which was also presented by the most prestigious fashion houses, I understood that it was best to adopt a little bit of humor and color and open myself up to "abundance" ;- )

Like all things in life and also in this case, balance and taste are the keys of success in putting together a trendy and chic look. Colorful patches mixed with a classic one-single-color items, will make for a creative look, happy and unique, that will allow you to stand out without looking like a silly teenager.

So let us have a good morning filled with proactivity, creativity, meaning and happiness… because there's not an abundance of time!
