Self Acceptance

Self acceptance to me, remains an interesting area I have struggled with for so many years now. Do you accept yourself as you are? It's a simple question that many people find difficult to answer. I want a face like that, I wish I had a flat tummy, my nose is too big, etc. these are statements I've heard too often.  At the deepest level, self-acceptance is either complete or not at all, but for most, yes/no feels too limited because we worry about all the things we would like to change about yourself.

  I have come across so many curvy, cute and confident women(different shape and sizes) taking a stand about self acceptance, they take beautiful pictures and they openly express how they feel about self acceptance and fashion.

Style Inspiration: Houndstooth

 Hello everyone, style knows no boundaries neither does it limit anyone. Size and shape can be dressed in ways that best accentuate any body shape whether curvy or slim. Every lady has a picture of how she wants to look any time she's stepping out of the house. A picture of a fearless career driven woman but many of us fail to bring that picture to life because of the constraints we create in our minds.

Eye of a Tiger...

Hello Ladies, I trust you had a fab weekend with families and friends. Autumn is here to stay  and the weekend was a bit cold for me. My outfit this weekend is really simple and taking into consideration the change in the weather. I recently bought a "Tiger Face" jumper and I decided to pair it with a pair of jeans and a faux fur collar to add a bit of glam to the outfit. 

Fix your foundation...

Hello ladies, first of all I want to thank everyone for all the views, comments and likes. I appreciate the support and am glad this blog is reaching out to a lot of people. I got a comment a couple of days ago about how lucky I am not having a " pouch tummy". I smiled when I saw this comment because every woman has bits of her body she likes and bits she doesn't.

The foundation of any outfit starts from our lingerie to shape wear and finally our outfit. Most of us skip the second step 'shape wear' and this step is very important.  Shape wear should be every woman's best friend and it should be the foundation of every garment. Wearing shape wear helps to conture, accentuate and smooth everything out.

Am a great lover of shape wear because wearing the right shape wear can deliver a boost of confidence. “Shape wear provides the perfect canvas underneath clothing to keep them from clinging,” explains style expert and “The Bra Book” author Jene Luciani. 

Online clothing brand Marisota launched a campaign earlier this year about wearing the right shape wear for your body type/shape. This tool helped me understand the right shape wear for my body type and am sure it will be useful to all ladies. Shape wear can be very expensive and trust me it's worth it. There are a lot of cheap shape wear from Primark and the quality is fantastic to start with. 

It is essential that we know our body type before we know the right shape wear. You can click HERE to know your body type.

Check Mate...

Hello ladies, I've noticed that one of the latest trends on the high street is oversized checks. I first saw the trend online when Trussardi showcased their A/W 2013 trends.

These are my three favourite looks...
