As much as I love fashion bloggers, I was tired of seeing the same thing over and over. Melissa, however, finally changed it up a bit and she shares the journey of how she got into creating her own fashion blog in her own way! “I felt like I was just dumbing down my passion for fashion because I didn’t want anyone to see how imperfect I was and I think I just got to a point where I just stopped giving a shit.” - Melissa Kilner (4:45) Confidence is so sexy! Why is it that designer stores paint this picture of what “beautiful” is by the size you wear? Melissa and I talk about how it’s so not about what size you are, and how it’s really how you walk with confidence! Melissa just recently modeled for GAP’s lingerie line! Amazing, I know! She shares the story of how a casting director from GAP reached out to her soon after her she launched her blog, as well as what she has learned about herself after the photoshoot. “We are who we tell ourselves that we are.” - Melissa Kilner Melissa shares a little about her divorce and her current relationship. She talks about this new feeling of joy and happiness that she has never felt before. “This experience made me realize that, shit I can have everything that I want!” - Melissa Kilner
