Reblog if you would be devastated if you found out one of your followers committed suicide.

on emulating hilary banks; ♡

appearance

clothes: hilary was most often seen in extremely chic skirt suits. taking inspiration from her could really improve your work wardrobe! but some of her most iconic outfits are her little black dresses, and little dresses in general. the key thing is that she always held onto a classic elegance: within that, don't be afraid to experiment.

accessories: accessories are vital! hilary was rarely seen without a hat, and she always utilised jewellery, gloves and hair pieces to the maximum.

makeup: defined brows, big lashes. light makeup and simple hairstyles that accentuate your natural beauty.

every outfit of hers was an extremely well put together statement. try and perfect that balance between attracting attention and remaining chic and sophisticated.

patterns! plaid, polka dot, stripes, florals. in this, the first bullet point is key: make sure you plan your outfit properly so that it looks stylish and not garish.

wherever she went, Hilary had eyes on her: dress to impress.

character

charisma! hilary got a job as a weather girl just by turning up at the studio. you need to have that natural aura about you.

confidence is key. don't be afraid to assert your opinions, set up boundaries, and go for what you want.

when ashley despairingly asked what she was supposed to do having received flowers from a boy, hilary had this iconic response: "for carnations and a little bit of baby's breath? nothing." know your worth, especially in romantic endeavours! hilary never compromised herself for men, or empty/sleazy expressions of attraction.

hilary was determined. when she set her mind to something, she got it. she was generally perceived as unintelligent, but when it came to something she really cared about she always had a creative solution that worked for her.

never doubt your own strength. sometimes you need the support of others around you, but that support should offer you faith in yourself.

building on from that, the banks household was tight knit, and while everyone had their fun, they were loving and supportive. surround yourself with good people you can count on.

am I surprised? no am I still upset? yes

You go girl! Dont worry youll make it! :)

Sorry for all the rolls, but I have got to face the facts! The fact is…I’m pretty damn large. But you know what? That isn’t stopping me from trying to do yoga!

This is my second time doing the Biggest Loser Weight Loss Yoga. I know it doesn’t look like I’m doing much of anything but man this is so hard for me! Nothing wrong with a little fat girl yoga…

I figure this would be good for progress shots too, as I (hopefully) lose weight.
