WATCH OUT: DANGEROUS CURVES AHEAD

Just like pretty much every other girl I’m a sucker for fashion mags and celebrities. I know it’s not exactly hard-hitting journalism but the thought of reading the Wall Street Journal or some other business-y type magazine literally bores me to tears. That’s why every month, without fail, I buy every glossy magazine I can get my hand, watch every celebrity reality show ever made and resolve only to read the gossip section of the newspaper (slightly exaggerating, but a girl can dream).

With this constant influx of thin, rich and beautiful models and celebs its no wonder my self-confidence takes a dive. In fact, I’ve made it a rule only to read about Kate Bosworth or Rachel Bilson types while on the treadmill.

Madison's November issue
But something weird happened to me last week. I bought the November issue of Madison Australia and didn’t feel the need to hotfoot it straight to the gym and do 100 sit ups. And it’s all thanks to Jessica Gomes (‘the Aussie model bringing curvy back!’). Don’t get me wrong - she is stunning - but she’s also healthy, down-to-earth and genuinely curvy.

So good old Jess got me thinking and it made me realise something. Hollywood, the fashion world and everyday people are actually moving away from stick-thin style icons. A new wave of healthy body image is here. It’s not about starvation anymore, it’s all about MODERATION. Check out Jess’ Sunrise interview here - this girl is an inspiration:


Much love xo

PS. Give it up for these healthy celebs who embrace their womanly curves!
