Sometimes, only a maxi dress will do


So the weather has been beyond ridiculous in recent weeks. I know I’m in the minority, but I hate the heat with a passion so have been utterly amused at the climbing temperatures. However, the good thing about weather like this is the opportunity to pull out a maxi dress.

Although I rarely wear them, I love maxi dresses, and this particular day was perfect for it. This one is from Next and pure cotton, so I very much enjoyed the little breeze there was! The pictures don’t do the dress justice because the colour is a little more intense than appearances, and I love the flirty slit on the leg ;) Because it was so hot, I chose not to wear shape-wear and was a little worried because I wear it more often than not. I know people are split down the middle, but I really like shape-wear. It’s not about trying to look slimmer, but it smooth’s you out and (I think) enhances your shape. Instead I threw on some shorts and headed out the door feeling comfortable, cool and a total babe!

Dress: Next
Cardigan: South (via Very)
Belt & Sandals: Dorothy Perkins
Sunglasses: Spitalfields Market
A little embellishment with the belt :)
Ooolala ;p


Hope you’re all well – ‘til next time!

Love and hugs,
Isha

Success

In the blogger world, success is often in reference to money or exposure. Often these two things go hand-in-hand, in that the more exposure you get the more you are in a position to ask to be paid for your work/ name/ face, etc. Blogging has become a business for many and an aspiration to even more, but are we being realistic?

Don't get me wrong, I think it's great to have ambition and to work and strive for a goal or goals, but I also think it's important to be realistic with those goals. There are so many factors that come into trying to make a blog a business. For example, bloggers whom have been able to make their blog their sole source of income are often white, slim/ slim passing, a small fat, able-bodied, cis gendered, and/ or with euro-centric beauty. There are of course other examples that correlate, but that's the starting point. Not every blogger is going to fall into that blueprint, nor should we, but unfortunately we have not yet reached a point where said…
