nothing but a jeans thing...

So summer is just around the corner and its the dreaded time of year where you start to flash the flesh. Summer holidays mean you are in swimming costumes and bikinis and prancing around in shorts and t-shirts. This just gives me more motivation to stick to the healthy eating and exercise and I up the amount of squats and lunges etc I incorporate into my workouts. I definately want to try and work off as much cellulite as possible before wearing my denim shorts.

Another piece of clothing that many are wary of, are white jeans. I think you go from a dark dreary winter wearing lots of black and denim jeans so white denim can be seen as a bit of a shock. But when I was out shopping the other day, I came across this gorgeous pair of tribal print white jeans. I am in love with them, they were I think £22(ish) in Zara.

They have just the right amount of stretch so they feel comfortable but also ping back into shape. I hate going through the day and your jeans end up feeling like they are about to fall down. I have silly long legs so they were a tiny bit too short, nothing a roll up won't sort. The pattern really draws away from the super white scary jean look that puts many off, so they are a pretty good in between jean.

I do think they will last over autumn and spring too with boots and a jacket as i don't feel terrified that I will drop something down me and ruin the look... it usually happens just after I have left the house.

On the exercise front, I am feeling very proud of myself, I have achieved the superman at pole fitness and taught myself what some people call the full moon, but I'm not brilliant at remembering the names. Anyway i am pretty chuffed :)

Summer fun...

So originally i was going to do my first make up blog but i quite liked my outfit and hair today too. so heres a little look at what I wore and I will follow with the beauty products and makeup that i use maybe tomorrow.

I also have a hate of naked toe nails. So my latest shade is this deep purple from No7 at Boots. They always do these £5 off vouchers and i tend to stock up as they last forever.

My truly battered but favourite summer sandals, purely for comfort. They are really old and from Forever 21 before it made it across from the US. 

I love the pattern on these jeans so much and they are so comfortable. River Island jeans fit my shape perfectly as well so its wins all round really.

And here is my make-up look for the day... I will write about this in my next blog :)

CFDA Awards 2012

This week saw the Council of Fashion Designers of America's annual awards ceremony. The association is a not-for-profit organisation to make the fashion designs of America a part of the art and culture society. Fashion Designs are an art form and not just something a person wears. They aim to nurture the fashion designers of the future. Diane von Furstenberg is the President and Steven Kolb is the Executive Director of the group. This years awards are special as the CFDA group is celebrating its 50th anniversary after its formation in 1962.

The top 3 awards winners were:

--Womenswear Award - Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen with The Vow

--Menswear Award - Billy Reid

--Lifetime Achievement Award - Tommy Hilfiger

I have picked out my top outfits from the night:

Candice Swanepoel in Valentino

I love this fun summery design worn by Victoria Secret Angel, Candice Swanepoel. Her braided hair gives the look a summer boho vibe which softens her appearance.

Doutzen Kroes in Sophie Theallet

Joan Smalls in Michael Kors

Julianne Hough in Kaufman Franco

This colour is amazing. The dress showcases the colour perfectly with the low neckline as it could seem overpowering and swamp Julianne Hough if the neckline was higher. I love the gold clutch as well.
