Audrey

Wednesday, September 18, 2013

I have to introduce you to my new love.  She has a beautiful tan, gives me the perfect curves, and is the ideal length for my petite frame.  Readers, let me introduce you to my new trench coat.  

I've wanted a trench coat for the longest time, but if you're tiny, you understand finding one that isn't too long is quite difficult.  Macy's provided me with this lovely number, at over 60% off.  I wore it for the first time today and I have to say, I felt as if I was channeling Audrey Hepburn.  As a result, I've decided to name my new love Audrey.  So let's try this again.  Everyone, I'd like for you to meet Audrey.

Has anyone heard of/used the site, Groopdealz?  I tried to do some research into how the site works or its history, but I could not find much.  For some reason, it almost seems too good to be true.  I'd love to hear your feedback, because there are some really cute pieces on there!

Blind

Wednesday, July 17, 2013

I want to share something that's been weighing on my heart lately. I'm sorry if I get cheesy, or you don't follow TPC for insights on life. If that's the case, by all means scroll to the outfit pictures, you won't hurt my feelings! 

I know a lot of other women can relate, but body image is and always has been  an issue for me. I have a hard time seeing myself (My 5'0' frame of curves and not-very-toned muscles) in a positive light. I find myself wishing I had some other girl's skinny thighs, large chest, and perfectly curved waist...because the media defines that as 'beautiful' or 'sexy.' Because, God forbid a girl has some bumps and her hips require her to wear a size 6, 8, 10, or larger rather than the 00s and 2s that society deems 'fit.' (Not to say women who wear 00s or 2s aren't beautiful by any means!)

What I'm trying to say is...I have a hard time stomaching the fact that young women's minds are so perforated with adds picturing models who are photoshopped to perfection. To the point where many women use this false advertising as the standard for beauty. We have become so blind to the most important aspects of life in the pursuit of lost inches, toned butts, and a smaller jean size. 

My intention in this post was not to go on a rant, but merely express the exasperation and pain I experience when I struggle with body image and see other women do the same. I want to look more positively at myself and help other women do so as well. (Here comes the cheesy part) It's an obvious (but not always recognized) truth: every woman is beautiful in her own way, it's just a matter of seeing it.
