“Each of us has a fire in our heart for something. It is our goal in life to find it and keep it lit.”
Mary Lou Retton
Are you glued to the Olympic in Rio right now? We just flew over to San Francisco so I haven’t caught up on the Olympics broadcasts so far. But I am reading articles and viewing all the photos and highlights of my favorite events. I saw this editorial of Gigi Hadid and Aston Eaton for Olympics in Vogue August 2016. This editorial reminded of the energy, dedication, and of course athleticism of all the different competitors. I’ve never been much of an athlete. I learned ballet briefly, performed gymnastics for a summer, and stuck with track for a few years during high school. I would have loved to have found a sport and stuck with it though.
Mary Lou Retton had a great point about passion. I likely wasn’t an avid athlete because I wasn’t passionate about any particular sport. On the other hand, I have several passions including fashion, beauty, and design which I love to learn and share. I definitely learned that I wasn’t devoting myself fully and feeling motivated if I wasn’t truly passionate. Now, I’m focusing on topics, activities, and of course people that really excite me and fill me with joy. Once you’ve found your passion, you can really throw yourself into it and hopefully excel at it too!
Have a lovely week!
Not athletic at all, but i appreciate the olympics and the dedication–wow!!
These are such great images, and makes me think of how editorials used to be. I love the outfits on Gigi—this editorial is a lovely with the olympics going on. I’VE BEEN WATCHING IT WHEN i CAN, AND THANKFULLY MY WORK IS ALL ABOUT THE SPORT SO IT’S QUITE EASY TO VIEW DURING WORK HOURS.
FASHION TALES.
You’re so lucky to be able to watch the Olympics during work! These outfits really are fab and a nice mix of athletic wear.
This go around of the Olympics hasn’t really captivated my attention. We have watched some of the gymnastics events because my husband used to be a gymnast in high school and he always points out interesting things to me,.
Ooh your husband was a gymnast – how cool! I’ve always appreciated gymnastics so will catch that tomorrow!
What an awesome quote, and this editorial is fantastic 🙂
Gigi is a stunner and I love her style. She always look so effortlessly chic and I could only dream to rock her style. And yes! We are pretty much glued to the TV! LOL!

Love these athletic shots. Her and her sister are such badA** models. It’s like this generation’s super model squad!
I always love when they do these editorials for the olympics. I think for the London Olympics they used Karlie Kloss.. her background in dance really showed in the editorial. Gigi did awesome! I know she’s super popular, but haven’t read up about her. Loved this! I’ve been glued to the tv at night. I love swimming, gymnastics, and volleyball. I love seeing all the countries and their talents. I look forward to the Summer olympics every 4 years.
