I am not being remotely dramatic when I say Sienna Miller (aka Sophie Whitehouse)'s outfits in the Netflix Limited Series Anatomy of a Scandal have kind of changed my outlook on fashion for the better. I've always enjoyed, and sought after classic fashion. Timeless style is always the answer, I know that. But I, like most everyone, have fallen prey to the trends and fast-fashion quick fixes and I have cultivated a wardrobe that I like, but not one that is trend averse. I was so in awe of Sophie's restraint and good taste, and how comfortable yet polished she was in her outfits... even while her life is in shambles. It's a lesson for us all and I, for one, will be certain to spend more of my hard-earned money on classic, effortless pieces that I will love and wear for years, if not decades.

This episode isn't for everyone... to be honest I wouldn't have wanted some stranger preaching to me about how she is eating more healthy at this time last year. BUT I discovered a woman named Rachel Paul who created an amazing program called Best Body and learning to eat more clean/healthy while also unlearning some bad habits I had created through the years has been one of the best lifestyle changes I have ever made. I have shared on IG and received lots of questions about this program so I'm diving in in this (unconventional) episode!
