Matching handbags and dresses - would you rock?

Maybe matching your handbag and dress in the exact same fabric/design isn't your idea of a fashionable combination but if top designers are making it and fashion forward celebrities are wearing it, i guess it kinda says something right.

Well, thats what i came up with, not so bad hey! Lol! BTW, if i could put this on a body or person.........it'll be Miss Agbani Darego!

"THIGH GAP"? Bullsh*t!

‎The title of this post sounds stupid right, well thats because what i'm about to talk on actually is. Just incase you haven't heard, there's this ridiculous diet obsession movement on the rise now and it's called the 'Thigh Gap'. As the name implies, the thigh gap is the gap between you inner thighs when you stand up straight with your feet touching each other. Ofcos, some women were actually born with this gap however the disturbing aspect of it is that lately, a lot of girls have turned to extreme dieting and even surgery to achieve it all because it is believed to symbolize the 'ideal feminine shape'. Some argue that it increases attractiveness and is a sign of fragility. As a matter of fact, the wider your thigh gap, the more beautiful you are considered these days.
