You might not know this about me, but I've struggled with self-love for years. I think the moment I've hit puberty, was the moment when I realized that I could be a better version of myself than I already was. Hidden behind my sunny disposition were dark clouds of insecurities and low self-esteem. I've never told my friends anything, because I've wanted to "at least appear confident," while deep down I've felt unworthy and inadequate. Middle school and high school years were a period when I've hit an all-time low.

Hello my fellow Stylegazers! Welcome to yet another outfit post; borrowing its Modern Rebel title from this particular top that I’m wearing today, because sometimes coming up with a title is just very hard. (You feel me…?) David Bowie, Madonna and Billy Idol were rebels… So - does wearing this top make me cool then? Am I a rebel wannabe? Idk. Stir it up. Shake and bake. Rock the boat. Or whatever they say… Just keep on rockin', I guess.

The title of this particular blog post is a nod to a John Hughes' movie. Huge fan of his work. What can I say? This girl has a soft spot for 80s rom-coms. As you all know, October is the Breast Cancer Awareness Month and today’s outfit has been put together with that in mind. I’ve decided to wear pink in honor of the cause and with intention to hopefully raise more awareness.

So you walk into a bar, order your regular and never think much of it. However, what if you knew that you’re being judged by your choice of drink? Also – what if you knew that you’re judging other people by their choices? We tend to think that only our appearance, verbal and nonverbal communication shape how we’re perceived, but our drink choices play a big role too.

Hello my fellow Stylegazers! I won't bore you with a lengthy introduction, because this time around I've decided to keep it simple, both when it comes to style and writing. I usually wear this dress with a pair of heels, however for this specific blog post, I wanted to try something different and wear it with sneakers for more of a "street style" look. The dress is from Mystique , currently one of my favorite retailers; the sneakers are from ASOS; crop top was a hand-me-down (American Apparel) and the bag is from Furla. The sunnies are from American Eagle Outfitters.
