Let's get physical

Check me out in my gym wear (and so active!) - thank you AA. So have officially been to the gym twice now and am kinda loving it. This was quite a big step for me. I've always been incredibly intimidated by the gym - futuristic machines / lycra / flexing muscles etc. Turning 30 has made me assess lots of the parts of my life and it's actually a really positive experience so far. Health was one area and while there is little evidence of fat on me i'm pretty sure my lifestyle of working and partying can't be great. So i'm going to get fit. Not marathon fit or start developing abs but just to give myself more energy and also to do something exclusively for me. I believe i may have broken out in a small sweat following my second trip to the gym so clearly need to work on bit more of that - it's supposed to be a bit hard isn't it? Comedy moment during induction on running machine "...um you're going backwards" "oh shit am i. what about now?". Amazing that i can't seem to tell if i'm going backwards or not. I'm sticking to the rowing machines for now.

Saturday 30th January 2010

Saturday night and January is nearly over - 2 reasons to be very cheerful! Perfect choice of outfit was the spotty shorts jumpsuit. Purchased from topshop pre Christams and yet to be worn. My boyfriend did the usual telling me off when i brought this home claiming that i had many very similar outfits in my wardrobe. I don't but even if i did i do have issue with being made to feel bad or ticked off for spending my money on something that gives me great pleasure. When do boyfriend and girlfriend however much they love each other find themselves falling into bland stereotypes? I even hide shopping bags in the cupboard sometimes. What does that say about me?

Wednesday 27th January 2010

I don't think that i wear jeans all that much (but this diary might prove me wrong) and there is something quite hideous about these jeans - is it snake print? Dear lord! Regardless i like the shape and fit and the little zip detail at the front. I'd been to tabio and gone a bit wild so expect to see the results over next few weeks - you can just see hint of a peachy pinky pair of socks that matched my top perfect. Part of the idea about this diary was to recall what i did when i wore what i did but delays in posting mean i literally can't remember what i did this day/night. Must have been terribly dull clearly

Monday 25th January 2010

Having a big thing about blue and american apparel - clearly! I really love the simplicity and wearability of this outfit. I feel young and free and happy in it. Amazing what your clothes can say about you and make you feel one day to the next.

Sunday 24th January 2010

Yes it's sunday, it's still bloody freezing outside so i'm wearing my uggs. Sometimes i see girls - usually petite types running around in a pair of uggs and i think wow they look so nice and cute and snug. I definitely don't fall into this category. My uggs are huge - size 7 man feet. Therefore i only ever wear them around the house. I recall going to the local cinema and bumping into a friend and his girlfriend - she definitely did that down and up and down again look. Usually i would not give a damn but i felt myself go crimson. oh the shame!

Sat 23rd Jan - The Boyfriend Jacket

How rubbish am i at keeping up with this fashion diary? Finally i have a new camera so hopefully big gaps in the blog are now a thing of the past and has nothing to do with fact i wore my pyjamas for a week.
Peach boyfriend jacket is the sort of item i just love but usually when i put it on i feel a bit like i'm someone else. Possibly not a bad thing and certainly fun at times but for some reason i have to feel super confident to wear it out - maybe it's too fashion for me hence the coy pose! Spotty pussy bow me makes me think kate moss for now and ever more - good thing or bad?
Try to recall what i did this Saturday but suspect it revolved around food and boyfriend - oh yeah we had cabin fever but not quite yet ready for disco dancing so went out for dinner. I ate fish and he ate pork. I think this looks like a nice respectable dinner date outfit ;)
