For those who follow my social media accounts or this blog will know that I have been waiting a long, long time for our annual sun holiday. And now, it’s finally here & we are living it up in sunny Mexico this week at the El Dorado Seaside Suites by Karisma.
Back in June I was so excited to be invited to join the campaign #ThisGirlCan with Boohoo. I couldn’t wait to visit their Manchester studios to view their Boohoo Fit Range, where we would be pampered and treated to our own photo shoot for this great cause. Having joined the gym back in March I’m always on the look out for new work-out wear and it’s difficult to find good, supportive pieces that are also reasonable too. The gym isn’t necessarily about being a fashion show, however, looking good whilst you sweat gives me a major feel good factor! The #ThisGirlCan campaign wants to tackle the stigma of working out, making sure all girls, of all ages, sizes and capabilities are getting out and doing some sort of sport activity each week & feel good when they do it!

I have been looking high and low for THE denim dress that doesn’t make me look like a sack of potatoes, I’d bought one from Mango and I looked horrendous. I swiftly returned it and decided that a denim dress was not the one for me. After recently winning some vouchers at the Martin House Bloggers event I found myself trawling the New Look website (one of my favourite pastimes!) and came across this little find. It was clear that I had to have it and I was smitten as soon as I put it on. I’m pretty sure it’s spent more time out of my wardrobe since I got it than in it. I mean it’s perfect for these up-and-down weather days we have at this time of year.
When you are invited to a super secret VIP blogging event that entails a hand delivered invitation you know that you are in for a good do. So when the black envelope arrived with a glow in the dark light contraption and blank piece of paper (yes, it soon dawned on me that I had to use that contraption to find out all the invite clues!) We were in fact, invited to #LetsGlow with Ladbrokes Bingo event! You heard me, it was time to play bingo, glow in the dark style.

Okay, okay. If there is one thing I love about myself in a physical form it has to be my legs. Why I hear you ask? Well, this year in March I started going to the gym and I couldn’t believe it when my legs started getting much more definition and I wasn’t worrying about my dreaded fat knee’s anymore. I was actually quite happy to get my legs out on show and that’s why this year I’ve embraced skirts & dresses a whole lot more. This Rare London white co-ord is one of those pieces that if you’d waved in my face a year ago you would have had me running for the hills, I’d have exclaimed ”I can’t get in to that!” and grimaced. But now, I’m feeling much more body confident and I love it when an outfit can help with that too.
