Your style should reflect...YOU.
Stop worrying about what other people think.
There’s so much around us that shouts, “you’re not pretty enough, perfect enough, good enough,” and battling those lies can be exhausting when you believe there’s some truth in them.
Oftentimes, I’ve found that when we don’t know how to love the body’s we have negative words come in like a flood and ravage our hearts. We become convinced of our worst fears and begin to walk in those lies.
One step we can take as a healthy defense is speaking love-words to our body and embracing our curves, freckles, wrinkles, etc. When we speak love-words and thank our bodies for the work that it does on our behalf, it becomes a healing balm to the wounds created by us and by others.
Once we journey into the process of loving our temples, then it becomes easier to find styles that better represent who we are and that hug and flow over the areas we admire.
So, Lovely, don’t fret on your #bodylove journey! I’m here to help!

Seriously. They are magical and have fairy dust sprinkled on them. Too much? They have become a closet staple in my quest in expressing my style and loving my body. It took me a while to jump on board because I somehow believed there weren’t any that would compliment my post-baby shape. So glad I was wrong! Rompers and Jumpers…
“That shirt doesn’t fit you. You need to lose weight.” I was all of 24yo and about 105lbs. “You need to lose weight” as my elder, a woman that I held in high esteem chuckled and pointed out the small roll I had from the top of my pants being a little too snug and the bottom of my black,…
I absolutely love any opportunity to play dress-up and get creative with make-up! So, naturally, when my friends Halloween party theme was “Alien”, I took that as a green light to YouTube all the fabulous alien looks and think through how I could be cute–because clearly that’s important–and compliment whatever make-up look I’d decide on.
