The Clothes We Wear!

I’m very solid and confident in the person that I am but like any other normal person I also have my own nagging self doubt and annoying little insecurities.

As we grow we discover a growing void inside of ourselves as women that seems almost impossible to fill and instead of looking within ourselves to find what’s missing we run to the nearest shopping malls for completion.

We are so uncomfortable with ourselves despite the fact that we look beautiful on the outside; we struggle to identify ourselves outside our pretty little cocktail dresses and six inch stilettos.

Our personalities are constructed, protected and affirmed by our clothes. We live under the shadow of our beautiful clothes because we are in doubt of the person that’s underneath them.

There are two types of clothes:

clothes that wear us and clothes that we wear. When clothes wear you, you are noticeable yes but not necessarily memorable they conceal you the individual but when you are wearing your clothes they enhance and exude confidence and assuredness and you are easily remembered for who you are not what you wore.

At some point in our lives we all experience insecurities and we feel the need to hide behind something but whatever it is we hide behind let it be something we can learn and grow from because at the end of the day clothes are just clothes but the person is so much more.

8 FAMOUS GAY DESIGNERS - Rising awareness against gay violence!!!!!!!!!

It amazes me when there are still individuals who discriminate against gay people, I don't know if its ignorance or just plain stupidity because the same people who you disciminate and pass judgement on are the same people who ultimately make decisions on the clothes that you wear......interesting take right?! so before you decide to be a stereotyped douche bag let the clothes that you wear be a constant reminder that gay people are also people if not special people. so ít's high time we celebrate their wonderful contributions not only in fashion, but in the development of modern art and individuality as a whole. They embody a passion for their work like no other the kind of passion that drives the majority of their career and reputation. This is my gay love of talented designers who brought great influence in the fashion industry. Marc Jacobs is not only the famous designer in the world but also the the creative director of Louis Vuitton since 1997. Jacobs is al

BOOK REVIEW: I Can't Believe It's Not A Dream - Dr. Ronnie Masilela

After reading I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S NOT A DREAM I was reminded of two powerful quotes by Robin Sharma. · “My love for books is what saved me.” · “It’s not what you will get out of the books that is so enriching – it is what the books will get out of you that will ultimately change your life”. For me this book is a detailed version of what Robin Sharma was talking about in those two quotes. The writing is amazing, it's unpretentious, lucid and poignant, I really enjoyed it and the story-line is astounding and relatable. The Robertson’s, the other families that took him in, his friends and every single person who helped him, I sincerely believe that was God extending a helping hand to him. Never have I been so touched by a book to a point of tears, I am not sure if it’s because I know the author personally hence I was able to relate and empathize with him in such a vulnerable and humane manner or if it was pure
