Through the Looking Glass

The truth comes out-why we all hate that girl in the mirror. 

The looking glass can be a symbol of great torment to all you insecure
young women out there. For me, it is an object that is so destructive yet
sly…an obstacle in the way of feeling beautiful on the inside. Deny it all you
want hon, but we’ve all felt that horrid feeling in the pit of our stomachs
while looking at our reflections. Some of us have even wanted to throw something
at the mirror…as if that could change anything.Believe me when I say that I absolutely positively understand. After all, I am a girl.
The truth is, it isn’t the mirror that is doing the damage. It’s YOU. You and me. You and me and her and him. We all have variety of thoughts and perceptions going in and out of our brains. It’s enough to drive any girl mad. You see, it isn’t the mirror that makes you feel ugly, it’s YOU. You are the one feeling that way and only you can change that.
I’ve always wondered if there would come a day where I would not give a care to such issues…or if I could face that looking glass boldly, and smile (in a strictly non-pedophilic way…). I hope that day will come to pass…as I finally will be able to breathe again.
In the meantime,
Let us hang in there…
Yours truly,

Style Diary: Fall in to Fall...

Who's all set for the gorgeous auburn-coloured season?

Starting out as a colony of the oh-so-noble Great Britain, we seemed to have adopted similar terms and sayings. The one that I dislike the most has got to be 'Autumn'. The term; 'Fall' sounds much more suiting to the meaning. 'Fall' reminds me of aurburn-coloured leaves slowly drifting down from their branches in the breeze. See? Way more beautiful!

The arrival of Autumn brings new meaning to the weather in the Southern Hemisphere. As the weather starts to grow chilly in the Land Down Under, people choose to stay indoors with a cup of warm hot chocolate all snuggled up ready to watch a film or read a good book. That's right, it's time to ditch the sunnies and jean shorts and bring out our woollen jumpers and scarves! I absolutely love Autumn. Then again, there seems to be something good about every season. This season, I am eager to see the variety of autumnal shades that can be styled to perfection as well as showing off a warm and comfortable side to this beautiful time of year.

Anyway, I thought it would be great to start my first ever blog post by welcoming the season of Autumn with open arms. You'll soon realise that I have a tendency to ramble...so let's wrap this up! I've provided you with some great Autumn fashion (plus my thoughts on them) to spark some inspiration in our small continent...enjoy! :)

Until next time (where I hopefully will have more readers!)

Ciao!

(ABOVE^^^) Loving the stockings, leather biker jacket, scarf and ankle boots here <3-some really great staples for winter!

Printed sweatshirts are so in. It adds a touch of colour to a seemingly colourless
season.... Pair them with high-waisted shorts and stockings for a cool and casual combo.

(ABOVE ^^^) All three outfits are showing off their skin-tight leggings/pants paired with boots-'cos that screams "WINTER IS COMING!" :)

Loving them baggy coats with the stockings and scarf...<3
