I won’t lie—I’m not a summer girly. When summer approaches, I find myself counting down the days until September, when I can embrace clothing that feels less restrictive. But then, something incredible happens every four years—the Summer Olympics. This time, female athletes were dominating and taking center stage! I found myself inspired by their strong, muscular physiques, which made me want to fully embrace every one of my curves.
Watching these athletes reminded me that how I dress is not about seeking validation; it’s about celebrating who I am. I am so much more than my body—I am a beautiful brain (the word 'mind' sounds too chaotic), a soul, and a force of nature. As women, we each have our own unique story and power. Embracing this truth has allowed me to dress in a way that feels like an extension of my inner self—effortless, confident, and true.
When I slipped into this taupe midi length dress, it wasn't just about fashion. It was an expression of self-love and acceptance.

Maximizing a Bodycon Dress: Transition from Summer Chic to Fall/Winter Glam
To add some edge and capture a New York night vibe, drape yourself in a glamorous black fur coat and apply a swipe of dark plum gel eyeliner across your entire eyelid and lower lash line. Metallic silver is a timeless Fall/Winter colour that exudes rock 'n' roll glam. And don’t forget—it's almost time to trim your nails short and lacquer them in sleek black polish. This is also another way to maximize those Empress Earrings by Shashi.

Reviving the Bodycon Dress: Back to Summer
For a demure and cutesie summer casual & chic look, layer this dress with shimmering body oil for a radiant glow—Tom Ford's version really steals the show. Complete the ensemble with beautiful sandals. Summer is all about embracing a more natural beauty routine, letting your skin radiate its main character energy. Choose delicate rhinestone studs for your earrings for a subtle, divine touch—ideal for tucking your hair behind your ears. Finish with generous coats of mascara to amplify those doe-eyed vibes when you slip off your sleek sunglasses. And don’t forget to envelop yourself in the rich, soft aroma of my fave Jo Malone English Pear and Sweet Pea. It’s the perfect scent for those chic double-cheek kisses when greeting friends.
