another blogger, another beanie

Okay so this is the third outfit post in a row I've worn a beanie but it's so cold outside who cares?! This one was about €4 in Primark and I love it! The necklace is from Rock 'n Rose and I was so happy when I saw they had brought old the gold version of it, purchased it straight away! Yay! Just a quick post today as I have so much uni work to be getting on with and my Mum & brother are coming to visit this weekend so I need to get a move on :).

burgundy bobble hat

Ah, so how cute is this hat? If you read my wish list post a few weeks back you would have seen that I was on a quest to find a burgundy bobble hat. After seeing the perfect one on the Zara TRF look book I was determined to get one and spotted this beauty on the New Look website (the flash makes it look a lot more red than it is). It was out of stock so I sent my kind mummy to New Look and they had one left, yay! Plus, it was £4.99 and almost identical to the Topshop version which was way overpriced. Well chuffed!

I'm also now on day 17 of my 30 Day Shred and I have to say it's going well so far. I'm doing it 6 days a week and I can really notice the definition back in my arms! I'm not convinced I've lost any weight or inches around my hips and stomach but that probably isn't helped by the amount of alcohol I drink due to being a student. It is difficult to tell though as I don't have scales or a tape measure here so I haven't been able to record my measurements. If you are thinking about starting the shred I would recommend recording your measurements so you have something to compare to at the end! Please let me know if anyone else is doing it, I would love to know how you're getting on :).

ps, sorry about the uninspiring name of this post & being the world's worst photographer I still can't figure out how to use my camera and take full length shots. I'll get there one day!

This is the first outfit post I've done in ages and I really wanted full length photos but I'm still a novice with the camera so that probably won't be happening anytime soon. I wore these River Island shoes which I love! Apparently the German's don't love them so much as every time I wear them everyone looks at me like I've just walked out of a freak show.

This is like my go to dress whenever I don't have time to think of an outfit or just want something really comfortable to throw on. It's from a shop called Gina Tricot in Dusseldorf, I've never heard of it but apparently it's a pretty big chain in Europe and they stock some really cool stuff. This dress was 19.95€ which is less than £15 so bargain really! It has a dipped hem which is my favourite, an elasticated waist and the cut out detailing at the back. Perfect!

I also started the 30 day shred 4 days ago, OMG. As a regular exerciser and healthy eater I thought that 20 minutes exercise a day would be a walk in the park but I could not have been more wrong. I'm aching all over and I feel exhausted after just 4 days. Those of you that read other blogs have probably seen this DVD cropping up here and there but if you have never heard of it I will explain briefly. It's a 30 day plan, 20 minutes a day, designed by Jillian Michaels and it focuses on strength, cardio and abs. It aims to burn fat and build muscle quickly because you're doing short bursts of interval training, and according to Jillian this is the most effective way to look 'shredded'. If anyone has completed it or is further along than me I would love to know your thoughts!

I realised I haven't done an outfit post in a while, so here we are. I'm back to my webcam today though to take photos as I'm nursing a bit of a hangover and I'm a bit pushed for time. I love this shirt it's so loose fitting and is perfect for hiding my really bloated alcohol belly, plus I'm going out for dinner shortly and it hides everything nicely. 

How pants is this bank holiday weather?! I feel so sorry for everyone that went to Creamfields this year, I went last year and it was incredible but I'm so glad I couldn't make it this year! I'm glad to be in the comfort of my warm bed eating pizza and cookies. 

Anyway I hope those of you that weren't at Creamfields had fun this bank holiday weekend, especially if you were at Reading or Leeds!

pleather skirt

Sorry for the lack of posts recently. I've been really busy trying to organise everything for Germany and when I've not been doing that I've been working and haven't really been anywhere to wear anything remotely interesting to do an outfit post! I've finally managed to take some snaps today though as I now have a proper camera complete with a tripod, and as my new pleather skirt arrived from Own the Runway last week I figured it was about time I got my act together and posted something interesting!

I've needed a pleated black skirt like this in my wardrobe for so long but haven't been able to find one for a reasonable price that I love. Being from Rugby shopping is ridiculously limited and without access to H&M or Primark unless I get on a train, the internet is the only option so you can imagine how happy I was when I found this skirt for £20. Especially as it has studs on too! Perfect. 

In beauty news I finally got round to using the Estee Lauder double wear that I bought back in about March. This just proves how bad I am when it comes to spending; I buy things for the sake of it, forget I even have them and get round to using them 6 months later. But anyway, I dusted the cobwebs and tested it out today and I have to say that on first impressions I was slightly disappointed. As I applied it I felt it made my skin quite 'cakey' and I'm usually really oily, my skin isn't dry at all but as the day has gone on I have to say I'm really impressed with it and my face does look pretty flawless today! 

Anyway, that's enough distractions for today back to trying to learn German. 

Bis Später!
