Who Is, ‘Style & Life by Susana’?

July 5, 2017

style-and-life-by-susana

“Be strong, believe in freedom and in God, love yourself, understand your sexuality, have a sense of humor, masturbate, don’t judge people by their religion, color or sexual habits, love life and your family.” Madonna

‘Who is Style & Life by Susana?’ 

She is ‘the tuneless singing blogger’ (who does daily carpool karaoke), she is the blogger who looks for a bargain, on-sale clothing and accessories items, she is the relateable blogger who tells you the truth, and the nothing but the truth, the ins and out, who is emotionally raw (probably to a fault but seeks no apologies) and revealing, who will tell you no bullshit and just tell you as it really is.

She is not afraid to be who she is and will not conform to what the government or society expects her to be because of the numbers on her birth certificate: she is sticking true to her soul, and her very spirit.

P.S. I know I can’t sing but I’m happy, and love how music makes me feel (.ie. happiness)

At any age you can look fucking fabulous, as there is no age limit on being YOU – regardless what society, social media or the so called news media outlets have to say.

I will give you what you need, what you want and so much more – I am on a mission to revolutionise on what it means to be a woman over the age of 30 in this day and age.

The will be no more sweeping underneath the front door mat on topics such as sex, ageism, IVF, domestic abuse, bullying, sexism, racism, wrinkles, unwanted weight and so so much more.

 You want it to know? And, you’re wondering about it?

You’re too shy or scared to ask? Don’t worry, I will do it for you, and so much more.

I have no shame and I want to be the thoughts you don’t say out loud or are too shy or scared to ask…

I want to be your secret hearts desire to what you are thinking, feeling and wondering about. Look to me to be your, ‘inner voice’. Who Is, 'Style & Life by Susana'? 1

I have so much planned for this blog, from styles and fashion that you need to only  know about (you can shop at any place that is on trend, and on fleek (are the twenty-somethings still using that word?!).

Fashion that will inspire, compliment and flatter you (even on a budget and body level), that you definitely can wear regardless what news or so called age or body shamming social media says you should not do (… I call bullshit if they say don’t).

The sales to look out for from so many shopping and on-line stores, stories that I have experienced and lived that are still being sweeped underneath the rug as society refuses to acknowledge or take responsibility for or blind fold it, people that we encounter on a daily basis and so much more.

True life stories. Every day, life stories.

OUTFIT I'M WEARING

Melania Maxi Dress by Tobi, gold jacket (no name, bought at flea market in Portugal) and gold sandals by Banjarans 

I want to change and revolutionise peoples view, expectation, thoughts on ageing, sexuality, freedom of expression and expectation and more importantly, the power of being a woman.

If I have to be controversial, provocative, in your face, belittled, made fun of, put down, disregarded, or challenge society’s thoughts and views … then so be it.

I always like a good challenge; you can’t ever keep a good woman down.

style-and-life-by-susana

My father taught me to never take no for any answer (and he was no fool) and to stand up for what I believe in.

And I have always believed in the freedom of being,YOU. All ages, race, religion, gender, sexual orientation – to be non judgemented upon.

Welcome to Style & Life by Susana …no welcome, to finally being free; to being, you.

#flashback | This was one of my very favourite pho #flashback | This was one of my very favourite photoshoots I did with @tullylovesaphoto. I felt free, confident, sexy, strong & I had belief in myself that I could be just as good as any top influencer/blogger. But a year after that photo session, my ongoing battle with severe anxiety became excruciatingly worse over time. I lost all belief, my self confidence disappeared, I started to hate the way I looked & I started to hide from friends, family & the world... to be honest I felt like walking away & giving up my blog and IG; I thought no one would care & I'm not good at what I do anyway... but I stayed.

It's been a long journey to get back. I'm not completely there 100% but I am making slow baby steps. I take each day as it comes. Some days are good & I think, "the Queen is back!" but then something can trigger me & I am back to panicking, hyperventilating, negative thoughts, and just wanting to hide. The difference this time is I don't want to walk away. I want to come back & do/show what I love. 

And that is fashion, skincare, photoshoots, striking a pose ha-ha!! doing my car karaoke sessions, and so much more- just being me. I hope you all can be patient, and stay with me. A butterfly is re-emerging 🦋 #butterfly #mentalhealthsupport #anxietysucks

It's been a long time since I did an outfit shot & It's been a long time since I did an outfit shot & many of you know I suffer terribly from severe anxiety & depression. And for the past year, my self-esteem, self-confidence, self-belief has bungee jumped severely way way WAY downnnnnnnn low...!

I am at a constant inner war battle within myself, and my self worth. But today is the first step forward doing an outfit shot. 

Do I like this photo or outfit? Meh! 🤔 I am showing me in this present moment. A vulnerable, fragile and insecure me but one who is slowly, desperately: trying. And by doing that, I'm actually empowering my spirit & soul. By TRYING. I'm not, and will not allow my mental health issues to define, me. 

So, once upon a time I only wanted to show only the good photos that I liked to be shown on my blog/social media... I was afraid to show (reveal) my human flaws, my icky shots when I felt shitty, ugly, old(er), bloated, fragile (mental health) moments. Not anymore.

Today I make a conscious decision to show what the day is really like for me. In all its beauty: the good, the bad and the (OMG what was she thinking) ugly; but in all its glory. Its a positive day.

Outfit: turtle neck jumper from Kmart Australia , cargo tartan pants & knee high boots from PrettyLittleThing.com, handbag from Salvos Stores
