How One Bali Boutique Helped Me Rediscover Confidence in My Style

April 17, 2025

I’ve never really loved clothes shopping. Not as a teen. Not post-babies. Not even now, as I slowly find myself again. For as long as I can remember, shopping has made me feel uncomfortably uncomfortable. Too tight, too short, weird fit, awkward cuts, and nothing ever quite sat right—on my body or in my confidence. And even now, with more body acceptance and more self-love than I’ve ever had before, I still kinda hate shopping. It’s just never been my jam. But… maybe if I had shops that offered to tailor pieces to me—to my size, my shape, my vibe—maybe I would’ve felt differently. This week on our girls' day, we visited @jinx.the.label —and let me just say: it’s a boho dreamland of prints, leather, turquoise stones, and slow fashion goodness. 😍 The girls in-store were incredible. They chatted, styled, and told me everything can be tailored to fit you like a glove. I tried on this set (with POCKETS 🙌), and for the first time in a long time, I actually felt... cute. Confident. Comfortable. Seen. Even better? Jinx is size inclusive, with sizing from 8–30 and a genuine commitment to making all women feel beautiful. This is how fashion should feel. I think about Lola watching all this too—watching me. And I want her to know: All bodies are different. All bodies change over time. And no matter your size, your age, or your shape—you deserve to feel gorgeous in the clothes you choose to wear. We don’t have to love shopping to love ourselves. But every now and then, a shop that gets it makes all the difference. #BodyLove #MumLifeMoments #ClothesThatFit #BohoVibes #SelfAcceptanceJourney #JinxTheLabel #BaliShopping #GirlsDayOut #StyleYourWay #ChadAndMiaOfficial #BaliWithKids #MotherDaughterMoments #TailoredToYou #SlowFashionBali #SizeInclusiveFashion

I’ve never been one to enjoy clothes shopping—not as a teenager, not post-babies, and definitely not in the whirlwind of rediscovering myself now. For years, the experience felt more like a chore than a choice: nothing ever quite fit right, nothing ever _felt_ right. But that changed during a recent girls’ day out in Bali. Tucked away in a sun-drenched corner of Uluwatu is a boutique that redefined everything I thought I knew about fashion. @jinx.the.label isn't just a clothing store—it’s a slow fashion sanctuary of soft leathers, bold prints, turquoise accents, and thoughtful silhouettes. But what made it truly magical? The people. From the second we walked in, the women there welcomed me like an old friend. They didn’t just help me pick something off the rack—they styled me, chatted with me, and tailored it (yes, really tailored!) to my size, shape, and energy. I tried on a boho set (with _pockets_, hallelujah 🙌), and for the first time in years, I felt... cute. Jinx doesn't just talk the size-inclusive talk—they walk it, with pieces ranging from size 8 to 30. Every detail feels intentionally designed to celebrate _you_, not some version of you that needs changing. And now, every time I wear that outfit, I think less about trends and more about how I felt: confident, comfortable, and seen. I watched my daughter Lola watch me in that moment, and I hope it teaches her this: You don’t have to love shopping to love yourself. But when you find a shop that _gets_ you? It can be the gentle reminder you didn’t know you needed. Bali, for all its natural beauty, surprised me with a different kind of healing: one woven into fabric, laughter, and a little boho boutique that brought me home to myself.
