A positive environment for people who like nail polish colours, catwalk updates, Prosecco, intersectional feminism and everything in between…welcome to my world!
Hey Sweaty Betty, Your January catalogue just dropped through my mailbox. I find it offensive that you are urging women to get their "new year, new youlook'" sorted. As if this were a thing. As if a pair of £90 "bum sculpting ssuperhero" leggings that will 'stand out in the studio' will make a difference … Continue reading Hey Sweaty Betty, by Audrey Boss
This morning I got a little inspiration from the archives in the form of an article about Anna Karina. She was held up as an icon of New Wave style and I love the simplicity of her look. Less is more, everybody... well, less effort is more suitable for my lifestyle. In fact, that's probably … Continue reading Why I love being ‘low maintenance’…

Without a doubt, the blogger who got me interested in writing Sophie's Voice most is Jay Miranda. She's best known as a fashion blogger but she also writes the odd article about motherhood. and Hispano-American politics. When I started I thought that I would write about fashion most of the time - following on from the … Continue reading Jay Miranda, a blogger I admire – Day 15 of the Blogtober Challenge
Well, you all know what my everyday essentials are so I've decided to review something that's a real treat to myself. My review is slightly biased. It's a product that I use nearly daily. I'm very familiar with it. I buy it again and again. In short, it's kind of a 'go to' for me. … Continue reading My favourite product – Day 10 of the Blogtober Challenge
After my post on day 3 of the Blogtober Challenge - My Everyday Essentials - I realised that I'm in danger of wearing a uniform. That's okay, per se - but I want more. I don't want to part crowds because of my sartorial choices...I just wouldn't mind getting a few admiring comments about my … Continue reading Day 6 of the Blogtober Challenge – share your outfit of the day
This month I'm participating in the Blogtober Challenge and will be posting daily so watch out for more regular updates. Today my challenge is 'Five - ten things about you'. I'm very much in favour of navel gazing if there's a self-improvement angle involved - otherwise, I have a tendency to just self-indulge. This first … Continue reading Day 1 of the Blogtober Challenge – Five(ish) things about me
On Monday, Candida Royalle died after a long, painful battle against ovarian cancer. She was the pioneer of feminist porn. While that medium might not appeal to us all, it's important to remember women like her. She portrayed women enjoying sex from a perspective that was completely novel at the time. She did not concentrate … Continue reading Feminist icon and porn pioneer, Candida Royalle, will be missed – even if you don’t know why…
Let me be perfectly clear about something - Sophie's Voice is a positive environment and body shaming is definitely not part of the experience. I'm not prissy or po-faced. I will quite happily laugh at celebrity style, political gaffes and other similarly ridiculous things. I write about (what I consider to be) important issues and … Continue reading If in doubt, say nothing…
Okay, I have a confession - I'm sure it will shock the hell out of you all but I am comfortable with nudity. "No! Seriously? That comes as a massive surprise", I hear you all say. Really, honestly - I am. I get how an individual can be uncomfortable with their own body - that's … Continue reading They’re just tits, everybody – no need to overreact
