What's your size? 10 UK
Who is your style icon?
My mom is my style icon, I take after her mantra "Be Simple but Elegant", though I can't be as elegant as she is. I also like the style of Taylor Swift, Amanda Seyfried and Miley Cyrus.
Favorite store?
I don't usually get my clothes from stores in the mall, but if I do, I get them at Warehouse,Lacoste, Marks and Spencer, Baby Phat, Zara and Topshop.
Favorite piece/s of clothing to wear?
I'd love to be in jeans all the time, it is what I am most comfy in, or if I weren't in school I love short shorts and a colorful comfy tee.
How do you want people to see your style?
Simple but elegant, I am not after brands, I usually get my clothes from Divisoria and Baclaran. I don't really have a specific style but if I do get to dress up, I expect jaws dropping and eyes widening. :) nothing says MARVELOUS than seeing it in people's faces.
Where do you get your confidence from?
I get it from within, and of course from people who remind me that I am loved (My parents and siblings, even my friends). I also get it from people who inspire me (like you guys!). I guess for a girl who have always been scrutinized, I learned to let it all pass, and that I am my own person. To be honest, I do not value my outer appearance as much as what I have on the inside, I believe that if you are happy with yourself you exude that aura that make people feel comfortable around you. and I guess that makes me confident!
How important are other people's perception of you to you?
Important to a certain extent, I grew up trying to make people love me, trying hard to fit into different molds. Until I realized that I shouldn't really fit into theirs for they aren't trying as hard to fit into mine. So now I make it a point to value people's opinions of me and take it with a grain of salt. Move on forward and change what I can.

Girls after my own heart! YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL, Never allow anyone to judge you just because they think they are all that. To be who you are and loving yourself is the best thing you can do in your lifetime. Never cease to inspire people especially those who think that they aren't as beautiful as the others. And for those who have been called names because of your size you can look them in the eyes and say. " You can kiss my sexy arse, but I won't let you. " To be plump is to be happy with whatever you have. Those curves are your blessings use them well!
