Conquering Curvy: Things I Wish Fashion Magazines Would Stop Telling Me

I'm back again with another Conquering Curvy post. This time though, instead of showing you some curvy friendly outfits, I am going to talk to you all about fashion magazines. Like most young women, I read a hell of a lot of fashion magazines. I've had subscriptions to Elle, Vogue, Company and I am partial to a free Stylist every now and again. I love them all from their thought-provoking features to their beauty tips and look books. However, one feature that seems to come up a little bit too much for my liking is the "how to dress for your body type". Well, I don't know about you but I am sick of it and I thought that the best way to vent out these frustrations would be to talk to you all about them.

Victoria's Real Secret: You're Not A Feminist If You Hate On Models

Since the Victoria Secret fashion show took place this month I thought I would modify an old piece of mine to bring it up to date. I wrote this last year when the Victoria Secret fashion show took place in London as a sort of mix of news and opinion all rolled into one feature. Just a little foot note I have referenced all of my quotes within the text itself but please keep in mind that this was written a year ago so some references may be outdated.

The Cosplay Crusade: Why Cosplay Is Good For You

Comic con has just happened this past weekend and usually I would be having post con blues. However, this year I haven't gone as I have planned an awesome holiday to Disney world with my partner and family. So to celebrate comic con I thought I would share with you an article I wrote while I was at university about cosplaying and why it is good for you, in particular women.

28 Days Later: The Horror Of Returns

My blog isn't normally a place where I rant. Well, this isn't really a rant more of an observation. My best friend and I were talking about my weird shopping habits. I don't try things on, I don't ask shop assistants for help, I don't ask my friends' advice and I don't do returns, ever. I don't know why exactly...just all of these things that come hand and hand in shopping freak me out.

Negative Space and Self Esteem

I have been thinking about posting another brainfood post for a while but I wasn't exactly sure what to write. My last post about introversion was better received than I thought so I thought I would do another personal mind post about what I determine negative space is and how you can improve your self esteem.

Misconceptions of an Introvert

I haven't posted in a little while but if I am honest it is because I haven't felt very inspired lately. At the moment I don't feel very fashion forward or feel very much into my beauty regimes. I just feel thoughtful. So I figured the best thing to do would be to let my thoughts out on here.
