11/16/2016 0 Comments SisterhoodImage Source - goo.gl/zxk9i2 I’ve never had a sister. During my childhood, I had friends who I called sisters, like many in my situation would do. We shared secrets, outfits and spent endless time talking about our crushes. Although we grew out of the teenage phase, I’m still enamored by the idea of sisterhood. Image Source - brandymelvilleusa.com We are the 21st century women and represent all shapes, sizes, colors, ages, sexual orientations, socioeconomic classes, and religions but we have two things in common, womanhood and the right to choose who we want to be with. True sisterhood cannot be forced. It is has to be developed with interest, patience, reciprocity and over time. Not every woman will be your best friend, nor should she be invited to be in your inner circle, but every woman is deserving of your respect and support when you are able to provide it.

Love can be shared. It is easy for sisterly love to thrive within all our female friendships. Let’s all explore self-discovery through sisterhood connections and communities, spirituality, self-care, and self-expression. Afterall, life throws ridiculous things at us but, we’re all in this together because none of us really know what we’re doing. 11/1/2016 0 Comments BEST DRESSED - WOMEN IN POWERSince the elections are round the corner, and I am a Hillary Supporter, I would like to give a shout out to all women making it big in power roles. From professional political fixers to tough lawyers, women are breaking all the traditional fashion boundaries in the workplace and teaching us that there is a way to be taken seriously without having to compromise style. #1 Hillary ClintonStarting with none other than Hillary Clinton. Her signature pantsuits and impeccable style have won the nation and fashion police over!

She stopped wearing hats, seen as too middle class, to appeal to the widest possible demographic. Instead, she came to favour tailored suits with matching handbags and low Ferragamo heels – ideal for state functions and the televising of Parliament. She could adapt this look for different locations: blue for Conservative party conferences, adding fur in Russia and often incorporating the colour of the national flag of the country she was visiting.

She’s almost always seen in strong, structured outfits, yet doesn’t shy away from bold colours or graphic prints. This shoot from The Verge completely does her justice!

Image Source : Getty Images #5 Sheryl SandbergFacebook COO and Lean In author Sheryl Sandberg said in an interview with The Guardian that she doesn't like to get too "fashiony"--a sentiment in keeping with her book, which advocates for women to be up front with who they are and what they want.
