Learn to look not just with your eyes but with your heart…

“Learn to look not just with your eyes but with your heart. The truth is that style and taste are all relative. It is not a question whether or not someone has good taste. It is how something feels to the individual…Open your heart and mind to the world, and find the things that connect with you…” quote by Kelly Hoppen
