Fashion and Gender Politics

This is a tricky subject to tackle. Clothing has become such a political and polarizing topic that it’s kind of hard to talk about gender norms in fashion without getting a bit agitated or go on a rant.

The Right One

Making a choice is a daunting task. Uncertainties over whether it’s right or wrong or whether you’re choosing it for the right reasons always surface. I say it’s always a gamble.

Your Body Is More Than Enough

When most of us think about body size and body image issues there’s a stereotypical body we think of, there’s a specific situation we tend to gravitate to: the girl who wants to lose weight or wants to look like the models in the magazines. There’s this idea that every woman wants to lose weight or “trim a few inches here and there” and that every man wants to gain muscle and be big and buff. Unfortunately, that only covers a very limited spectrum of the many ways body image issues can present themselves, specially in regards to body size.

I’ve recently developed a very deep appreciation for all things navy blue.

2016 For The WIN

First, let’s get the housecleaning out of the way: Happy New Year!!

Hope you guys had a wonderful holiday season and are feeling refreshed and renewed and ready to take on 2016!!

When I started this blog I wanted it to be a visual diary and aid while I was trying to pin down what my true style was and create a beautifully curated wardrobe. I’ve definitely honed in on what I want to look like and have collected a few good wardrobe staples this past year but I wanted to take this journey a bit further. With the new year come new projects and opportunities and I wanted to focus on taking this space to the next level. 

First Child

It’s hard to recognize or accept how awesome we are sometimes. 

Cha Cha or Nah?

I remember being younger and not understanding why people wouldn’t just get out of their “feelings” and just move on with life. Like, how long can you be “sad” for? Well, how does a couple of months sound?
