I first met Claire, owner of the plus size indie brand Copper Union, over Instagram. Since our initial magical discussion I swore we were kindred spirits. Even more bizarre- her best friend from college works at my office. Like a real, not interwebs, life connection. It’s a sign from the universe! Interstellar signs people! Sparkles. Space Magic. Booming voice of omni-powerful being. One cannot ignore them. So Claire sent me a few pieces to try out. Naturally I loved them, but I felt getting clothes from a kindred spirit and just writing a blog is keeping things a bit too close to the chest. If we really are Anne of Green Gables bosom buddies, we should try to change the world together. Because, that’s just what you do. Girl power and all that stuff.

When Claire and I started scheming it was clear we were on the same page. Let’s do something fun to make people happier. And thus the concept of #CopperGlitter was born. A giveaway, where everyone wins a little bit by participating, and one lucky unicorn/ feminine warrior/ human who appreciates pretty things will have a little extra fashion magic added to their life.

So what’s this #CopperGlitter thing all about? We want to know what makes you body positive. What do you love about yourself, how do you celebrate your amazing body everyday? Claire and I use clothing to highlight not hide our bodies. We want to encourage you to do the same. Tell us why you love your curves, your lumps and bumps, your ‘imperfections’!

If you’re curious what a Stevie Shrug looks like, just look up. This is the Copper Union Black & White Geo Stevie Shrug paired with Nika Pencil Skirt (you can’t tell from the photo but it has this cool baroque-ish pattern detail that I am obsessed with). I paired these amazing Copper Union pieces with a few  oldie but goodie items I just love. A pair of lace up marble faux snake skin shoes from ASOS, a forever 21 tribal bodycon crop top, and few necklaces I picked up on clearance from Charming Charlie really bring this look to life. The top necklace is another amazing one of Claire’s Copper Union designs that unfortunately is no longer available.
