Ahhhhh, don't you just love a new season. The promise of new and pretty things that make us all want to purchase and "recreate", whether it be makeup, clothes or anything else for that matter.
So naturally given the time of year I have been scouting what is out there and found these beauties and had to share them with you...
Jump Suit £39.99
Top £29.99, Shorts £25.99
Jacket £26.99, Vest £4.99, Trousers £26.99
*my favey*So cheap and so pretty! Love love love!!! Please let there be some warm weather so I actually have an excuse to buy this stuff!
Right you beauties - a couple of things...
Weight loss:
I am pleased to say that I got weighed at Weight Watchers tonight and I have lost 1 lb since Christmas. Very happy seeing as realistically I have being dieting since Tuesday! Very motivated to continue now and almost went for a run (it is however cold, dark and perhaps a little late for that tonight - but exercise will be something I begin again soon!)
Amazing TRESemme Giveaway:
The winner will hopefully be announced this weekend! There were so many entries it is going to take me a while to collate all this info! As soon as I have done the draw I will pop the winner on here so keep your eyes peeled!
Purchases:
None this week so far!! Aren't I good!
Had a bit of a shopping spree over xmas period (mostly for others!) and as you know I also received some fab gifts - so no makeup or clothes shopping for me just yet! Trying to save some pennies :D
IMATs London:
Not long now!!! Who's going??
And Finally, Favourite look at the moment:
The sirens in Tron Legacy - this one in particular. Defo going to be trying to recreate this.
I feel a fancy dress outfit coming on...

What have you ladies been up to???
So first and foremost... Welcome new followers and thank you for sticking around faithfuls whilst I have been MIA. As some of you will already know - I was taking a much needed break from all forms of technology in the lead up to and during xmas and new year. Life just got a bit too hectic. Now I am back and would like to wish you all a HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Ok so it's that time of year where I've done a little too much over-indulging (vino and food) and it's therefore only right that I put an immediate stop to it.
You see, as some of you will remember from my earlier post, around a year ago I finished my weight loss journey 30lbs lighter than when I embarked on the same and it was truly one of the best (if not the best) experiences in my life.
I changed my approach to food and did between 3.5 - 7 miles walking everyday. It was not just about how I looked (but that was of course a major factor) but also how different I felt.
Now without boring you all too much about how great and motivated I felt I will move onto the more recent part of this story. The part where I have begun to slip into my old ways. Eating out, drinking, sweets, chocolate and full fat ice cream and cakes...
And no, I can't blame it on Christmas because that would mean I'd been celebrating Christmas for around 3 months now!
What I do blame it on however is the fact that I am still getting used to commenting for 2 hours each day, along with working in a place that does not allow microwaves, kettles and toasters due to health and safety!
Yes - gone are my porridge and weight watchers soup days. Sadly replaced by jam covered bagels and deep filled chicken and avocado pret a manger sandwiches. It's a wonder I have only gained 6 lbs! But I can't kid myself - really it's more like 8lbs if I think of the weight I was when I went to NYC last may.
Hmmmmm, that's over half a stone and when you're 5 foot nothing not only does that make a definite difference but it also marks the start of an uphill climb back to unhealthy land.
So I have therefore decided to put a stop to all my weak willed antics! And began today. I have been really good and have no intention of slipping. Which is why I refuse to call this a new years resolution. If I did I wouldn't even last the day.
So the next thing I need to tackle is my lack of exercise.
And I mean useful exercise that actually makes the lbs drop off, we can all walk to the shops at lunch and convince ourself it's us being active! But I can no longer do my walking due to the time I get in and don't really want to pay for a gym when
A) I just don't enjoy sweating in front of other people and breathing in all their germs these days -and;
B) I cannot see me actually going given I have like 2-3 hours to do everything if I'm lucky when I get home in evening (as well as trying to see the boyf, family and friends)
Any suggestions (workout DVDs with actual results?) are more than welcome and I would love to hear them.
Hopefully I will one day look like this again!!!! (with better taste in bikinis!!)
However in the meantime, I really must find a seat on the train while I think about how hungry I am, carry my long umbrella, handbag (giving me a bad back) on one arm whilst trying to read, blog on my phone and keep my balance with the other.
Who says I'm not active!! Haha...
