Unapologetic Me
Confidence is not about perfection – it is about being you and taking pride in that. One should claim confidence in opinions, thoughts and interactions by living in the present. We make mistakes and we learn from them. These days, everyone tries to be like everyone else. There is some sort of unwritten social ‘code’ which governs what we should wear, whom we should befriend, how we should behave and what kind of life we should lead. Becoming part of a culture or society is an essential component of feeling accepted. However, do not lose yourself by believing that acceptance is the biggest virtue. It takes guts to harbor a passion, it takes strength to believe in it. To stick to being yourself in the tackiest situations – that’s confidence. Just be you, an Unapologetic You!

That was my gypsy look! Hehe.. okay, I confess I do not always get it right and I am still learning. But hey if you know me well, you’d know that I’m quite fond of colours. To me, colours symbolize positivity, happiness and adventure. In addition to that, my hairstylist decided to experiment with my hair a little bit. I like it when my hair is volumized. I have normal wavy hair but crimping my hair gives me a different look – adds volume, texture and a Boho feel which I love. Crimping hair was very popular in the 80s and what better way than a multi-coloured mini jumpsuit, beaded necklace and Boho hair to convey retro?
