My purple stilettos



                                                                 
I am a city girl, I always have been, and I always will be. My favorite time has always been nighttime! I love driving downtown at night with all the lights on, I love eating out, I love the night lights, I love living in the city and I love my purple satin stilettos.
 A lot of us city girls, no matter how many responsibilities we have, find solace in the fact that we can control what we wear and how we are perceived, a lot of us LOVE shoes. This makes me wonder:  “do we love shoes just for the look of them or is there more to shoes? How do we define our love, or may I say shoe addiction?”
  Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying that our style and fashion define us, what I am saying is that it completes us.  I, myself am a mother to an 8 month old little girl; I juggle life with motherhood, university, my translation work), my fashion blog and day to day life. My escape is fashion, art and that is how I express myself.  My “Me time” is when I am finally able to put on my stilettos and a little black dress; this allows me to feel beautiful on the outside. My satin stilettos are not just shoes to me; they are a representation of who I am outside of my responsibilities as a mother, caregiver, partner etc. I believe every woman deserves to feel beautiful. Of course beauty starts from within but also, once you find that one thing that you put on and make you feel beautiful on the outside, you look forward to it at every occasion. For some, it is perfect little black dress, for others it is those precious pairs of high heels. All this to say that shoes after all, can be a healthy addiction!

The photoshop epidemic!

It is very sad to see little 10 year old girls say that they hate how they look only because they compare themselves to models in the magazines... the problem here is that those models don't actually look that way! No way! That is an image Photoshopped over a 1000 times or most of the times its not even one model, they take different parts of different women to create 1 perfect, wrinkle free, freckle free woman. She is IMPOSSIBLY BEAUTIFUL!

Women self esteem is at its lowest, eating disorders are at their highest they have ever been! what you see on TV is not how those people really look like. Cindy Crawford once said.... I Wish I looked like Cindy Crawford....
After appearing on a magazine looking thinner than she actually is, Kate Winslet the star of Titanic said I look Nothing like that, I can tell you that my legs on there are just a 1/3 of what I actually look like. They didn't get her permission to Photoshop her and she is an advocate of loving the way you look.
Love yourself the way you are.... that's where lies the true beauty, self confidence can get you whatever and wherever you need to be! I mean I know everybody have their own insecurities, God knows I do but I am learning how to love and accept my imperfections as a part of who I really am.

Ready to drop!

When you wake up early and go to sleep late, day in, day out, eventually it catches up on you. It creeps on you unexpectedly, very slowly... I was standing in line waiting to pay for my tea and all of a sudden I felt so tired and weak just as if I had just been hit by a bus! I am truly out of my element today.
The clock reads 9:33, my class goes till 10:50 and I'm struggling to stay awake. Thankfully I'm off tomorrow and I can catch up on my sleep! My boyfriend is also off of work so we can catch up!

It was a little update and stay tuned for my upcoming posts as it will be very good articles about different relevant subjects!

Love, live, don't exist!
