Fashion, chronic illness & everything in-between
Guess who’s black? Black again. That has to be one of my worst opening lines, but you get the point, I’m wearing black again. It’s a easy and fun way to add some dimension to an otherwise simple or more basic look. I’m not fond of the word basic as I feel it suggests low …
Back with another one. I’m an advocate for simple body con dress. It will literally save your life. They suit everyone so well as the styles vary greatly from sleeve lengths to hem length and accommodate different body shapes. This particular style I’m wearing is one that can be dressed up or down. Style Tips …
Pink Cardigan Outfit aka ‘Sweetie’ So it’s no surprise that pink is my favourite colour, I make it known whenever the possibility presents itself. When wearing pink, I can get carried away, and the expression less is more goes out the window. Contradictory to my usual more stripped back style. The way to wear one …
Body positive movement is nothing new… But I’ve decided to dedicate a space to styling tips for the body-conscious as I feel it is an ever-relevant topic.

With the rise and dominance of digital platforms and social media, fashion’s steered quite far from its origins and has become easily accessible to most, in the Global North that is. There is a stark contrast to fashion’s elitist beginnings. Where only the rich aristocracies could enjoy, flaunting their wealth through …
Trigger Warning: Sexual harassment and violence against women. Social media is notorious for spreading information like wildfire and so the news of Sarah Everard’s murder was no different. Her wrongful death by a policeman has rightfully been publicly admonished, with headlines galore, trending hashtags, and infographics, all of which have pressured an overdue call to …
Meghan Markle is a prime example of how the business of racism and anti-blackness work in the world, with specific attention to the context of the UK, the epicenter of it all. It should be common knowledge that the foundations of the modern world are rooted in colonialism and capitalism. Birthed from the Europeans calculated …
The 80’s birthed the debut and rise of Asian American designers, with particular attention to those of East and South-East Asian descent (ESEA).
