Image is Everything

 

Today I want to talk about the ever sensitive topic, Body Image. I'm going to be honest here... The way I look at myself has fluctuated over the years. There have been times where I can say that I've honestly felt beautiful at times; I'd look in the mirror and like exactly what I saw. However, there are other times when the mirror seems to amplify every imperfection. I'll be breaking out, my makeup is caked on, my clothes just aren't fitting right and my hair can do no right. Then I'll look closer and pick out every detail that I find wrong with my body.

It's hard to feel 100% confident with your body. There's always something you'll wish to improve on. We are exposed to countless airbrushed ads and unrealistic standards. We have to realize something though... We are beautiful. It's hard to come to terms with those three words, but it's true. We should be happy with how we look, despite our imperfections, which everyone does have.

 

 

OASAP Wishlist

I love OASAP and am always so happy that I'm affiliated with them. I was just browsing their site when it hit me how many clothes and jewelry and shoes I want from them! *Wipes drool off mouth* I am in serious need of  some cash to blow on my every wish and desire from that store, although it's super unlikely to happen (Thanks a mil outrageous college prices). Until I become a millionaire, I'll just settle my lust for clothes by showing you all my wishlist!



I'm not sure what it is about the Round Neck Bound Waist Long Dress that I love so much! It's just stunning.

I use to hate, and I mean HATE velvet anything, but I'm really starting to like it now. OASAP's Retro Velvet Pleated Skirt  makes me continue liking velvet more and more and... well... more.

Can I pretty please just own this Cutout Sweater already?

Someone wanna roll my tongue back in my mouth? It fell out after I though about how good I'd look in This Dress.

Roll back a few months: Dear Santa, I would love to find these Double Pin Buckle Ankle Boots  in my stocking.

I'll take two of these magnificent Earcuffs please!

So. Much. More. I can't fit everything onto my wish list, I just can't. To much to love<3

Barratts Winter Wonderland I

What would you wear if you decided to go on a walk in a Winter Wonderland? Well, this is exactly what I would wear. Why sacrifice style for comfort? You shouldn't have to! The Axl Velvet Pants ($128.00) extend past the belly button and are sure to keep you warm! The Sliced Sleeve Knit Sweater ($68.00) may not look to warm, but will look super cute after you take the oh-so cozy and oh-so stylish Dip Dye Faux Fur Jacket ($228.00) off after your stroll in the white snow. Don't forget the shoes though! All the way from Barrats online store, these Rieker Ankle Boots With Zip Trim (£65.00) will keep your toesies warm and lookin' incredibly fine when strutting through the snow! Lastly, the Acess Envelope Style Clutch Bag (£13.00) will hold your phone, iPod and backup mistletoe;)
