100 GREAT Women.//inthenews

WOMEN , GIRLS , LADIES

I am so impressed with this article on the BBC . 100 women in 2016 and surprise is this is not about
the politicians , celebrities etc. It is about women and those that have made changes in many different ways.

Here are just 3 of those 100 …….

A NEW DESIGNER
So far I have read about a young girl who has Downs syndrome and she had difficulties to get clothes to fit her body type , most things needed to be altered.
Well her interest was in fashion, she learnt sewing and eventually started to design clothes. Now she has her clothing on the runways in London. This is inspiring story and SHE is a inspiration for young women.

MODELS plus
Another interesting 100 women is Iskra Lawrence. She is a plus size model who is out to change the
role of women in the modeling industry and the idea of beauty and plus size. She was modeling but told she was to BIG for the industry and then to small for the Plus size sector. So of course that did not stop her. Her story is important for all young girls women that the modeling world or fashion is for all and not only for a certain size.

BEAUTY IMAGE
Another really Beautiful girl is Winnie Harlow. She makes being confident and beautiful for
those with a skin condition not the main focus and she is a top model too. A wonderful story.

These 100 woman and I sure there 1000s and more that have made changes, but are not in the limelight or celebrities. But THEY have something to say and share with all of us.

CONFIDENCE , COURAGE , ACCEPTING and SUPPORTING ALL WOMEN IS KEY TO CHANGE.

CAMOUFLAGE STYLES// Fashion, designer

SOMETHING DIFFERENT I have to say I love color and prints, and when I saw the work of this Kenyan photographer Thandiwe Murui , I was in AWE. Such vibrant prints that make a statement . The prints or the checkerboard are definitely eye- catching. ( I happen to have a checkerboard top that I wear as a coverup) This might not be for everyones taste, but sometimes it is fun to be a bit wilder! THE SWIRLS love this print and the colour combination . Vibrant and fun! A MOD- FLORAL this print that looks like a Sunflower is perfect for summer. JUST BLENDING IN CHECKERBOARD ANYONE? find out more about her work here Thandiwe via BBC images via Thandiwe Murui

INSTAGRAM REAL STARS?

WONDER IF SHE IS REAL? How many people follow their favourite instagram and feel perhaps this is what a real person looks like and maybe lives like. I am not talking celebrities like Rihanna or Kardashians or any of the other major celebrities . I am not a big follower of instagram, but for those that are there are a few surprises such as one very popular Instagram Star is actually a virtual reality image, not a REAL person.

Okay maybe its like following a cartoon hero, i.e. SUPERMAN or WONDERWOMAN - but this we know are only characters not REAL PEOPLE. These so called stars gorgeous , flawless and h
