Hello my fellow fashionistas :)



Since I already love blogging and am obviously obsessed with fashion (but who isn't these days?) I figured why not start my own fashion blog?!


I am a firm believer that you don't need to be a size 2 in order to be stylish. The media has made us idolize those with stick figures and left us wondering why we've been cursed with runner's thighs! Yes, I have curves but instead of comparing myself to others and wishing I had her legs and that girls flat stomach, I embrace my shape because chances are someone else is looking at me and thinking the exact same thing.
As soon as I realized this, I gained confidence and a contagious positive attitude. I've spent the last 5 years trying to convince women to love who they are and to step outside of their comfort zone to realize what makes them feel fabulous. Working in retail has made me discover that far too many women out there have a negative self image and in turn, have lost a little bit of who they are. There have been women who refuse to buy something because it is a size up from what they normally wear. I have had women yell at me because they are irate they have to go into "double digit sizes". Here is a little piece of information for women out there: different brands and styles have different fits...do not be alarmed if you have to go up a size! We are all too fixated on size, weight, eating, exercising, image, food, lack of food, etc. and I hear about it all day long from my girlfriends. Next time you're shopping, I suggest you try something on that you love but would never normally wear because it intimidates you. Chances are you will look super sexified and if not, at least you can have a laugh about it!


What I'm wearing:

Chanel Inspired Dress by Kensie
Necklaces from Plum
Headband from ForLove21
Basic Black Wedges from Aldo


Today I'm listening to: Legal Tender by Handsome Furs

  1. I like your philosophy on fashion and confidence. I totally agree - we've been brainwashed with all these toxic images of super skinny girls and flawless faces in the magazines. I've struggled with my body image for so long...and I still do, but I'm working on it! I definitely enjoyed reading what you had to say.
