I am NOT wearing JEANS today!!!

You have just come out the shower and already you are sweating. It's THAT HOT outside! Even though you know you will look great, the thought of struggling into your skinny jeans almost makes you want to cry. So what are your options?

1. The Summer Dress

This is a must have for your wardrobe. Actually its a must have multiplied by 3, or by 4...

2. Shorts

Whether its made of the J-word or of a nice floral cotton material, these babies are life savers! Try them at varying lengths depending on the occasion. Doesnt matter so long as your legs get to breathe!

3. Lightweight Pants

No but seriously, any pants that are not of the J stuff will do. These pants are of a lovely soft material and feature a tapered silhouette, elasticised wasitband and self-belt. I think this may be love at first sight!

4. Simple skirt

Tuck a vest in or wear a simple crop top and you are good to go!

5. Bikini!
Cancel all your plans and hit the beach! xoxo

Trending: Tribal Prints

Summer dresses are out and they are tribal!
From Aztec to African, long, short, smocked or ruffled, they are extremely lovable and can be found in a variety of colour combinations.

When is skinny too skinny?

As I walked the road I felt like a sexy beast... as I sat in my seat in the minibus, I felt like a darned fool. Not again... The perfect black pair of skinny jeans that I had bought in the mall the day before and I was proudly wearing, had suddenly become a little less perfect. They were too tight. You may ask, but didn't you try them before you bought them? Of course I tried them on! I tried them on standing, I spun around in the mirror, checked how my bum looked; I was pleased. But I didn't try sitting. Now I was in the minibus and attempts to bend my knees in the required 90 degree angle were futile. A 160 degree bend was the best I could do.

As I shared my disappointment with my friend who was travelling with me he laughed and said "Once my jeans were so tight that I couldn't get them off in time and I peed myself..." My scandalous laughter burst through the half empty van. I felt a bit better, for a moment. I had been so excited that the size 9 "fit" that I hadn't given any serious consideration to the size 11 that I had also taken into the changing room. Now I was 1 Grantley the poorer (yes i splurged) and the owner of a beautiful pair of jeans that simply weren't meant for me... Lesson of the day? Not everything that fits, is your size.

Too fat for those pants?

The other day I overheard someone say "That girl is too fat to be wearing short pants"

It got me thinking....Who decided that only the skinny girl or the athletic girl could wear short pants?

We seem to know who is pretty and who isnt? But what are our opinions based on?
And when we figure out what our basis is.... is it a worthwhile basis?

Just food for thought.

"The Bikini Body"

"I can't wear a bikini. I don't have a bikini body"

I can't count the number of times that I have heard this statement and it comes from every female body type imaginable.

I'm not going to give an opinion on if a person should wear a bikini or not.
I do want to highlight a few things and suggest what the decision should NOT be based on.

 It should not be based on celebrities.

The body of a celebrity is not typical; it is not always healthy; and is often not even real.
How could an average woman feel that she cant wear a bikini because she does not look like a celebrity; A celebrity who 1. has a strict diet. 2. has the best personal trainer money can buy and 3. has photoshop.

Britney Spears

Striving to look like this?

Well I have news, SHE doesnt even look like this! She is NOT REAL.

Below shows Britney.
To the left is possibly Britney with the help of all her dietians, trainers, dermatologists etc.
To the right is Britney again, with the help of a photo editing tool.

Furthermore, Britney who knows that Britney is not real, wears a bikini! Go Britney go!

Our "bad"angle

Rihanna



Above is Rihanna and her "2007 Venus Legs of a Goddess" Nice eh? The below picture is also Rihanna. (Is it edited or real?)

Ok so before all the fans come with their pitchforks and torches, please know that this is not an attempt to embarrass anyone, Britney Spears or Rihanna. It's just an attempt to highlight that they are real women just like us. They have the same "problems" just as us. So don't idolise them and wait 'til we become what we think they are before we start to love our bodies.

Soaking the beauty in....

As my eyes opened this morning there was a smile on my face, golden sun floating through my window. A grump would have been upset with the sun that woke them. But not me, I was happy, happy just to be alive. Sooo grateful to be living in Barbados, where natural beauty abounds. 

Beach today? For sure!
