How Do You Avoid The Guilts?

by Kimberley Smith
One of the things I actively try to decrease in my life is guilt. We women do guilt very well – we condemn ourselves for eating a second (okay, ninth) piece of chocolate, for taking too long to respond to a friend’s text message or even putting off that god-awful gynaecologist appointment for months. But how is this guilt useful? It certainly doesn’t make us pick up the phone and book a pap smear Read the rest!

The L.N.D – The Little Navy Dress.

by Carly Jacobs
I’ve recently become extremely bored with the concept of the L.B.D. I’m riding the navy train right now. There’s something so terribly Audrey about it. The only navy dress I own is this one (I know it looks black but trust me it’s navy) but I’m about to change that. I find shopping for specific items in actual stores really difficult so I’ve gone online again. Never fails. Check Read the rest!

Are you a girly girl?

by Carly Jacobs
It may come as a surprise to you but I used to be an incredibly feminine dresser. In a way I still am but I’m much more streamlined and modern these days. There was a time in my late teens when I would never leave the house unless I was swathed in lace and had at least three faux flowers or feathers in my hair. I wore pastels. PASTELS!!! That Smaggle is long gone but my heart still stops a beat when I see rom Read the rest!
