Mixtape Fridays | Jennifer Hudson

J. Hudson week is almost over so we thought we'd close it out with a little female empowerment music to start your weekend off. I hope you go out and show the world who you are and what you do, in that fierce way Jennifer Hudson goes about everything in her life. Through the ups and downs we hope you know you have the strength to move forward and pursue your life's dreams.

Get out there and shine ladies.

things we love- Jennifer Hudson

We were inspired by Ms. Hudson's strong, feminine qualities this week. She says she eats chocolate everyday and is weak when it comes to a beautiful handbag.  There's a difference between being feminine and being a girly girl and we think Ms. Hudson is all woman.

Style Icon- Jennifer Hudson

We like a strong woman at Something Pretty. Especially one who can triumph over heartache, transform herself in the face of adversary and still come out on top. We like how Jennifer Hudson has changed her style over the years and are loving her new found love of colour and structure.

Things we Love- Maggie Gyllenhaal

I would say Ms. Gyllenhaal is a bit of a hipster/feminist/pretty cool lady. We love that she is an activist and uses her celebrity status for good. We assume she's into all things local, handmade and supporting good causes, so that my friends is what inspired us this week.

Style Icon- Maggie Gyllenhaal

Maggie Gyllenhaal is not your average actress. She is the opposite of the cookie cutter hollywood type and we adore her. There is something honest, accessible and real about Ms. Gyllenhaal. She manages to balance her work life, her family life, and being active in the world in an uncomplicated way, with grace and a sense of humour. She's a bit of a hipster without all the attitude and she makes us want that effortless cool mixed with the quirk and elegance that makes her style unique.

Mixtape Friday- Marilyn Monroe

I think we all have a little Marilyn in us. The need to be wanted, to be seen for who we are and what we do, we want to sparkle in our own unique way. I think what makes Marilyn such a phenomenon is not only her beauty and sparkle, but her vulnerability. Even the most vibrant of us can be tortured by demons and that's what inspired us with this mix.
