Missguided Active - Lusting!

Missguided Active - Lusting!

Let's be honest.. Nothing gets you more motivated for the gym than pretty new gym outfits, although finding outfits that aren't just plain black and grey can be boring and take forever.

As I'm still in full on 'get fit' mode, the more motivation the better! So when I heard Missguided were launching their own range of active wear I couldn't wait to have a peak!

It's safe to say the Missguided team haven't let us down, with bright prints and flattering shapes, there really is something for every lady looking to get her workout on!

My personal favs are the blue and pink/purple patterned crop top and leggings combo (I chose to purchase the pink/purple set as I love anything pink and purple related!) and what's more they don't cost the earth!

The Active collection ranges from £9-£20 and launched 20th of January 2015

PD Neon Pink Brandi Heels

PD Neon Pink Brandi Heels


I think by now it's pretty clear pink is my absolute favourite colour and what better way to bring in the spring season than with a beautiful pair of pink shoes!

A little eager I know as it's still freezing but as a wise women once said ..you can never have to many shoes!

As the bright spring tones have started gracing the high street and online stores the temptation to start building your spring/summer wardrobe can be all to much for us girls!

My first spring purchase has come from none other than my fav online shoe store Public Desire!

The 'Brandi' shoe is a versatile style that comes in almost every colour imaginable! I chose the noen pink shade to chase away the winter blues!

The heel height is 6 inches with a platform height of 2 inches - if heels are your thing this height should be a walk in the park! And for all you high heel nuns they really don't feel as high and uncomfortable as they may sound!

These gorj heels can be worn dressed up on a night out or with jeans for a more casual look. Team with pink accessories for a perfect spring look.

Brandi neon pink heels £27.99  from publicdesire.co.uk

'New Year, New Nails...'

'New Year, New Nails...'



As Zooey Deschanel once said - 'I don't like plain nails, I get sad.'  And she couldn't be be right!

All you dolls (and guys) may have noticed pretty nails are VERY important to me.

Because of my December blog posting failure and being super busy I never got the chance to share my Christmas claws with you all so instead I want to share my latest set of talons and my new nail fav nail paint.

In keeping with my love for matte nail colours I finally treated myself to the Barry M black matte paint and the Nails Inc matte top coat ..both of which lived up to my high expectations!

My latest nails are a mix of Barry M, OPI and Nails Inc. The Gold glittery goodness feature nail is two coats of OPI Nicole 'Glitter in my Stocking' with the rest of the nails painted with 2 coats of Barry M Matte Black nail paint and one top coat of Nails Inc clear Matte top coat. The nails were finished off with a few gold gems to add some extra sparkle!

Barry M Matte black nail paint - £3.99 from Superdrug
Nails Inc Matte top coat - £12 from House of Fraser
OPI Nicole Glitter in my stocking - unfortunately I bought this bottle of gold loveliness a few years back (and it's still going!) but I don't think it's available in stores anymore but OPI have plenty of other gorgeous golds on sale!
Gold gems - £0.99 from eBay

My New Years Resolutions 2015

My New Years Resolutions 2015

So I never normally do the whole 'Resolutions' thing as all I ever seem to see is other people fail with theirs but after having not the best of years in 2014 I thought maybe it would give me some positivity and something to aim for!

After thinking about this for a good few days I have decided on 2 ..enough to keep me occupied but not too many that I lose the will to live!

My first resolution is to blog more! Having been an absolute fail on the amount of blog posts I've done in December (I only posted twice the whole month) and never posting as regularly as I would like to I have made this my number one resolution and I intend to stick to it as I have 10000 things to blog about! (Not literally but it feels that way)

My second resolution is to get fit. I know literally everyone says this every New Years and it gets very boring very quickly with 99% of these people are pigging out on McD's in front of the TV after two days as they have no motivation.
I have wanted to take up healthy eating and regular gym trips for over a month now but let's be honest ..Christmas is the worst time to do this! With constant parties, dinners and work do's it's near impossible to keep to a clean diet and find the time to exercise, so what better time to start than New Years! I will also be back on the Bootea weight loss teas as these were such a big success for me the first time! (Please see previous posts for details!)

I will post updates on my fitness challenge alongside my second Bootea experience and of course keep the blog posts on beauty and fashion coming too!

Wish me luck!
