Love for Gabby!

Earlier this week, I experienced some rather uninspiring attitudes on my 9-to-5. I felt as if no one wanted to put forth the effort needed to get the job done. Exasperated, I posted my sentiments to Twitter: "What ever happened to excellence??? Aren't we taught to do our very best?" The feedback assured me that there are some who feel as I do. However, it seems like "just good enough" is becoming the new standard, not just in the corporate world, but everywhere.

This may be why I have SO MUCH LOVE for Gabby Douglas! Her perseverance is an inspiration to all who’ve followed her story and history-making performance. In a word, she's awesome. At just 16, Gabby embodies the true attributes of excellence:

Let’s be like Gabby. Let’s excel in all that we do and declare that “just good enough” isn’t good enough!

Congratulations, Gabby!

Desiré is a designer, blogger, and lover of all things glamorous. Though primarily a self-taught decorator, Desiré studied at The Art Institute, where she honed a distinct aesthetic largely influenced by the Modern Glamour movement, the theme of her popular design blog, Sukio. Not only is she considered a "closet fashionista," discreetly stashing handbags and shoes whenever possible, but, as an MIT graduate, she’s also an undercover nerd. Fashion, nerdom, and several years as a Washingtonian have combined to shape her unique perspective on interior design.
