Life is Tough!

I hope you are all getting your beauty sleep ;).

Work it Out: Installment Sept

Monday morning means 9am meeting. Sorry for the poor photo, but I was running very late...

Dress: French Connection. Blazer: Zara (the sleeves are full length, but I bunch them up to make it a little more casual). Suede pumps: Zara.

A white jacket is a great alternative to black, especially if you want to stand out of the grey crowd. I particularly like this blazer as it has angular shoulders that give it structure, and military button detailing on the cuffs, to rein it in from looking too summer garden party or mother of the bride ;).

Hope you are all having a good start to the week! xxx

Win a month's supply of John Frieda Go Blonder and become a model!!

Since I am currently in the process of uploading a very rambley video about my hair care routine I thought it might be fitting to let you all now about a new John Frieda competition!

I'm sure you have all seen the adverts for the Go Blonder range (we know you stole the SUN!! lol). I can't really comment on how well they naturally and gradually lighten blonde hair as alas I am a brunette. (Though if you are curious to see what I look like blonde just click here). However, I can tell you that John Frieda are currently running a competition giving you the chance to become a Go Blonder model for the day! This will include a makeover, photoshoot and you will feature on the cover of a top magazine. For more details head on down to www.goblonder.co.uk.

In conjunction with this amazing prize I am also running a competition for two of my lovely readers to win a month's supply of John Frieda Go Blonder shampoo and conditioner! All you have to do to enter is leave a comment below with your best Summer hair tip. I don't discriminate... all hair colours are welcome ;). I have actually heard great things from brunettes who have used this range as they have found it made their hair extra shiny... I'm tempted to try it!

This competition will run for a week! You can enter as many times as you like, so share your secrets :) xxx

Sunday's OOTD

Sundays are always painful, and when the sun is out it makes the regret of over indulging the night before even more tangible. Despite a not so glamorous morning of cleaning, and nursing my head, I was determined to give my Summer (non-work) wardrobe an outing. Oh and wear in my new shoes!

Top: from Forever 21 (bought in Dubai last Easter). Skirt: River Island. Shoes: Kurt Geiger (Pandora in Tan, also available in black). Coral bracelet: Egyptian market. Sunglasses and watch: Dior.

Do you want to see a close up of the shoes? Please ignore my horrible feet, still haven't had time to book that pedi :(.

These beautiful stilts are currently in the Kurt Geiger sale. After spotting a lonely size 3 in House of Fraser I went on a hunt, determined to make them mine (much to the amusement of my male colleagues as I desperately rang around every KG in London looking for my size). The next morning I was asked by various people if I had "managed to catch the elusive Tandoras in size 38" lol!

Hope you all had a good weekend and if you haven't had a chance to check out the Kurt Geiger sale yet I highly recommend it!! I may or not have bought 3 pairs of shoes... I can neither confirm, not deny that rumour ;). xxx

Work it Out: Installment Six

So Friday... London... 32oC... public transport... pavements melting... are you getting my drift? Thank Goodness it's the weekend! We unfortunately don't have casual Fridays at work, but I have my own little version going (shhh don't tell HR!!). I always wear something a little more bold, bright or short on Fridays... just because everyone is already in the holiday spirit and I feel that I can get away with it ;).

Dress: Zara. Black ballet pumps: Zara. Bracelet: Fossil.

The guys at work call this my 'nurse' dress lol. Quite appropriate really as I left work early today to visit a friend in hospital (she is fine btw). I'm sure if nurses dressed like this hospitals (or at least the men in hospitals) would be much happier.

Happy Weekend Sunshine everyone! xxx
