From the minute I discovered her on Instagram, I’ve been crazy in love with this funky, US-based blogger and yogi.
Not only does she really know how to rock the funkiest of fashions, but she is a total inspiration for being fit and healthy at any size.
Plus she makes me LOL a whole lot, which is pretty high on my hierarchy of needs.
Check out my Q&A with Anna below:
How do you define your style?
I suppose I would define my personal style as if Elton John, Grace Jones and Mae West some how managed to have a love child. The three of them.. yes, all three.
Who inspires your style?
Most of the things I wear have a story behind them. I suppose it's those stories that inspire my outfits. I like to feel like I’m telling a story with what I wear. Like I am bringing to life a new voice through fashion.
How many pairs of shoes do you own?
So this reminds me of a story. I once stopped seeing a fabulous guy I was dating just because he thought I spent too much on a pair of shoes. Do not try to come between a glitter-obsessed girl and her shoes, okay? That’s just crossing a line. Back to the question at hand… I am not exactly sure how many I have… maybe 40? I buy quality over quantity and when I find a pair I love, I wear them to death.
Which is your favourite fashion item at the moment?
SCARVES!!!!!! I can make the same bland black dress look like 5 different looks just by working that scarf in a different way. [You can see Glitter’s awesome tutorial on how to tie a scarf 7 different ways here].
What does the term ‘body positivity’ mean to you?
It means loving yourself regardless. I say regardless, because I think it’s stupid to ever aspire to not dislike things about yourself. If you assume you’re perfect, that just leads to unnecessary vanity and arrogance. And heaven knows the world does not need more of that.
Looking at ourselves rationally and with love allows us the opportunity to find inspiration on how we can grow and change into the best person we can be. However, noting an area for improvement is not the same thing as belittling oneself as individual because of a flaw.
Who has been the most important person in your journey to body positivity?
Honestly, myself. I took a lot of time to build and develop my skills through self exploration.
