to the free spirit

Hello to my free spirit, open minded, loving, hugging, adventurous friends!

I have been pretty busy these past couple of months decluttering our home. It is no joke and HARD work! Plus being a SAHM makes me adapt to a different schedule everyday! Our home was built in the 1930's so its pretty old and vintage looking. I'll post pictures when done!

The purpose of this post is to let you know that I want to start getting to know all of you amazing bloggers out there! I don't really like to post pictures of myself but I love to see other awesome fashionistas (since I love fashion myself). I figured I need to start doing what I actually love doing-- Getting to know people! I want to start interviewing bloggers so we can get to know each other, accept and love other styles! Get inspired by others who have one thing in common- FASHION!

P.S if you want to be interviewed so others can be inspired by your styles, let me know and I will do!

Bloggers can be friends too!

XOXO

I look like a weird fish but thats ok! haha

Darling,

I had an amazing thanksgiving and I hope you did too!! I sure ate more than I could handle, but I was able to spend it with my little family :) we also celebrated my little belles birthday the 23rd, so a lot has been happening in this home over here!!!

We took some pictures and I am happy with the result, I felt so comfortable and we had an awesome time, I think pictures come out the best when I am myself :)

I shall catch up with you later, going to go listen to some telepop musik while I invent some type of craft project! Night--XOXO

Sunday Fantastic. with a blue/purple weird looking skirt.

Hello awesome bloggers!!

I am back on my move! (meaning back to blogging again). Oh how I missed posting on here :(
First let me explain why I haven't lately-- I was visiting family so obviously I was too busy spending time with them :))) and my husband has a total whack new schedule at work plus school so I've been pretty busy with babe! Today my lover decided to take some pictures of me, and let me tell you moments like these I will never forget! He took about hmmm 1 million pictures!! haha but I love it when hes the one taking pictures because I feel like I am myself 100%! So here are a couple :) I decided to wear my blue/purple striped weird looking skirt that I LOVE, and an amazing comfortable t shirt! oh yes and my boots!! oh wait wait, my rebel lipstick from mac ;)

BTW I decided to hide the scale downstairs (my husband did it for me) so I will never find it!! I know I will get back to my healthy size but I want to enjoy being healthy and losing weight without being so paranoid about my weight! like HELLO we all know its good to be healthy, and I think its a personal journey so who the F**K cares what I look like in the meantime! I love style and I want to enjoy wearing my boho/hippie styles - so whatev if I look 10 lb heavier because wearing a big wavy shirts make me look bigger. so what if I wear my flat booties with a long skirt and it makes me look shorter! it's my own style and I feel beautiful with it who cares!! I think style is about being inspired by yourself not by what society thinks you should wear!

Love you. I really do. peace and love. XOXO

Facing My Insecurities With Fashion

Yes I said it. I always want to be the one who wears what I want, and not care what others think. But for some reason, I get dressed, put baby in the car seat, walking with confidence towards the front. And suddenly I have a billion thoughts running through my head, I start walking slower and slower until I stop, I wait a couple seconds and think. Do I look crazy? is my euphoric style, too euphoric? People are going to stare and I won't know what to do. And even though I know, I know deep down that I love what I am wearing, that what I am wearing represents me, I can't stand my insecurities, I go back in my room with my baby Gracie and change. I put on my regular pants, and a "safe" stylish t-shirt that won't show the weight I've gained through pregnancy because I know that even though I don't feel like myself I still look stylish- so its o.k. And then I walk out my door, feeling disgusted with what I have just done. But I convince myself, that even though I don't feel like myself, I still look cute, so I let it go. But I can't do that anymore. I have to just let myself be, let everything just be. I have to just wear what I want, because I want to. I decided to start in small steps. Wear one thing I love, in public even if others stare. I've decided to just be brave and do it!! Not care if I look fat or not.. Reality is, I am overweight right now, but I am working on that, and just because I can't lose 50 pounds in one day doesn't mean I can't wear something that represents who I am!!! I am losing weight, the healthy way and I will get to my goal, but I can't be afraid to be who I am through my clothes just because I am not my normal weight. It takes time to be brave but I really believe that once I can break that cycle in my head, it will be alright, it will actually be more than alright! I will posting pictures of myself this week with outfits that represent me, outfits that make me feel euphoric again! Do any of you ladies have insecurities with fashion? Any advice for me?

These are my inspirations for the week: Love the 60's and 70's. I love the euphoric colors, the hippie, boho look! Just love!! I'll see what I can come up with :) 

MY NEW BODY....

Well well well!! I don't know where to begin or how to explain exactly how I feel so I will just do as best as I can.. Before pregnancy I had a curvy body, not too small not too big.. I always had body issues, but I was ok with it. I loved my bootie and thunder thighs (until I couldn't fit into my favorite jeans) but I would move on to the next! I was a size 6, 8 and sometimes a 10. My body just always went up and down! I would love to exercise, get carried away and start again! But I loved it! AND then came the baby weight! haha I gained so much weight with pregnancy, which I knew would happen but trying to get it off is hard! For the last couple weeks, I was kinda sad, my clothes didn't fit and I didn't want to buy anything because I felt like I was allowing myself to stay that way! Well enough is enough!! Something popped in my head last week, and let me tell you, my perspective on body image changed completely! I did a juice detox for two days, and decided to just start eating healthy( increased my milk supply)!.. I didn't care about my body anymore, I just wanted to feel healthy! I have lost 3lbs this week--and the week isn't even over yet! Even though I am happy I started to loose weight eating healthy, it's not the most important thing to me anymore. It's more about how I feel inside, and the happiness I feel after eating a good meal! The best part of it, is my little Gracie! She was totally worth me gaining weight! It's just part of my journey and I decided I will go to the thrift store to buy me some cute clothes, and each time my body changes since I've been loosing weight; I will go and buy more clothes from thrift store. I love fashion and I can't allow my insecurities to creep up on me and put me down, I have to find ways to stay positive and find clothing pieces that make me feel sexy.. NO MORE "fat monica"..but "beautiful monica". In the end I don't care about the weight, if I eat healthy I will have a healthy body, and that's good enough for me :)Thanks for listening! or reading I suppose.haha Until then friends!

XOXO MUMU
p.s I want to buy this cape from asos!
