I basically consist of epiphanies now

On this week's enligment journey I got stricked by so many epiphanies that I started to roll my eyes every time my brain will spark a red light and think to me "OMG, this is such ephiphany". Don't ask me why my it's red, I don't have the answer for it.

In the course of the past few weeks that I took a break from a newsletter, I have somehow ended up in a week's long situationship. It also has already eneded, so we can stop the panic now. So as a healed millenial girlie, who knows how to handle such disoriented time thanks to 6 seasons of Sex and The City, naturally I got dressed and left the house to explore the National gallery and show off myself a little. Well, a lot.

Nothing screams healthy attitude than remembering who the fuck you are (you know you are healed when the feeling doesn't go away at all) and random compliments from tourists who couldn't give less fucks about hanging art around them but do find the courage to come up to you and give you compliments.

I arrived home that night looking at myslef in the mirror, and the questions just left my lips. What more do these men want? When the right question should be "What LESS do they want?"

You see the epiphany here?

Being "too much" never seemed to strike as a compliment since I was a little girl. And apparently being smarter than any average Mark is a blessing and a curse at the same time (just kidding, the curse is actually a blessing). And no, I don't mean finances, though, if any woman decides to put her mind to it — I am sure there is nothing hard about that. I mean how hard could it be if an average mark can do it, right? But I digress.

In the span of these few weeks that we haven't talked I also was unfortunate enough to meet a man that is so damn pissed that women dare to want and actually have just spaces for themselves that is he trying to spit his venom on the topic constantly. Speaking about real digression during the business meeting. Which got me thinking that he was actually right (probably for ones in his life), women THRIVE in girls surroundings. I've seen it, I've been a part of it, and now it is my turn to create yet ANOTHER SAFE SPACE for women only.

Hot Mama Bakery is your space to get creative styling advice. It is your space to find like-minded girlies. This is a safe space to be yourself, relax, and finally begin to thrive, or take it to another level. Declutter your exhausted brain from thoughts of nothing to wear with full closet of stuff and trends that you couldn't care less about. Rearrange outfit formulas based on your unique proportions and lifestyle to finally understand why those Pinterest saved pins never really bring the vibes to your real life same way it does speak to you through the phone screen. I promise you it is way easier than it seems. You just need a little more knowledge and support and a way less self loathing.

Exactly what we are going to be doing on a weekly basis. And yes it will get overwhelming sometimes, especially at the beginning, but good thing in a girls world we are here to support and reach out to help each other. Believe me when I say I am your biggest fan and I am a strong beliver than clothes represent your beautiful inner world that this planet is dying to see. Because in the world with men whose life revolve around basic and quite depressing grey "colour" I encourage you to thrive and shine, even if your wardrobe consists of just black clothes.

You see where I am going with this?

I don't want to hear anything about you doubting yourself and in 2025 still think that personal style is out of the reach for you, and/or you need to break a bank by trying to look stylist. To all that I have one word — BULLSHIT.

You know I won't sugarcoat it for you. It is what it is (the most British thing I say on a daily), it is indeed pure lies. Hot Mama Bakary is here to prove it to you. In case you want to go in more depth on what this styling society can offer you for a price of a cup of coffee a week — book a FREE call immediately.

And while I wake up at 5 am on a daily now to complete my morning pages based on the suggestion made to me by Julia Cameron though the glance of The Artist's Way, I encourage you to sleep and snooze your alarm for me, and just show up to HMB to leverage all the useful information I am working hard to prepare for you so we all can see what you have been hiding from us. That confidence, that beauty, even if you are contantly working from home and have "no places to wear it to", there is a space for you. In fact, the place was created in you in my mind and heart. There is knowledge to be studied about yourself.

Fashion tip of the week is to select one item in your wardrobe and try to style it in as a many ways as you can. Whether it is 3 formulas or 37 it will be a great way to practice a habit of creativity and pushing boundaries.

Take photos of those and here you have some fresh ideas on how to style a basic item. And in case you've missed it that is my new series on my socials.

On this note, I will leave you guys to your homework as client's work awaits for me. Styling people for fucking CANNEs festival is on my ToDo list for today. A year ago me would not believe this. A little 7 year old girl in me thinks I am the coolest woman alive.

Speak to your inner child not your anxiety, she is so proud of you, just like I am. And don't let any men convince you that you are "too much".

Okay, that’s all.

Love you, bye xo

Your slightly nonchalant fashion stylist,
