Have you come across POLYVORE yet? I discovered it back in the Summer, but have only just got round to having a play on there ...
... this is the outfit I have put together ... I would so love to have it ... but I have just noticed some of the prices ... the nail varnish is $210 and the earrings $2,150!! haha .... ahh well I am sure I can piece together a cheaper version ... don't the colours look beautiful though!

Let me know if you are on there ... I would love to see any collections you make :)

Have you been to Ludlow?

I went there at Easter a couple of years ago, but had not been back since ... till today ... we spent all day there ... had lunch, and a lovely look around the shops. It is the prettiest town with some really lovely shops. It kinda reminded me of Lewis in East Sussex.

I bought a few things ... some on sale Christmas decorations ...


... a pretty handmade wooden necklace hanger ... to  stop all the tangles!


I also had a go a plaiting my fringe ... and it has stayed in all day!! I am amazed as usually because my hair is so thick, plaits, hair bands & clips never stay in long ...


I will definitely be wearing my hair like this again :) ... this photo was taken just now, so how it looks after a heavy day of shopping!

I hope you have had a lovely day.

Well I lost 1 lb this week ... that's not a lot ... not much really, but considering all I have done in the last 6 months is put on .... its really quite great! I want to lose more than 1 lb a week really, but for week 1 when there is still a lot of Christmas nibbles left and I still wanted to eat in the evening (by the end of the week, I was better) I am pretty happy .... hey ... its going in the right direction :)
I haven't measured yet, I must remember to do that tonight ... but I have been looking at hair styles ... I would just LOVE hair like this .... LOVE LOVE LOVE it ...

I have also been looking at hair tutorials as I have been wanting to put more plaits in my hair ... this one is just gorgeous ... I think my hair is too long to tuck up at the end, but I could just have it continuing as a plait or ponytail down my shoulder.


I am going to practice

Well here I am ... brand new year ... starting again ... I have wiped clean my MyFitnessPal ticker, so the slate is clean ... no lingering failure of last year (or the previous years) hanging over me ... a new start :D

I have weighed myself this morning ... lets just say that all the eating and drinking over Christmas and New Year have shown on the scales! hehe ... I knew they would, but enjoyed them anyway. I am going to take it one step at a time ... keep focused on 1lb at a time. I have also measured and will try and keep up with that once a week too, so if the scales seem to stand still one week (.... one week ... get me being all optimistic! haha) then I will hopefully see a change in my measurements.

So my rules are basically to eat healthy and pretty much cut out sweet things. I am going to not nibble between meals, drink more water and not eat in the evening. I do lots of walking anyway, but I may increase that.

I have been looking at different styles/clothes and ideas .. this is one I love ...


Very feminine ... love the lace dress and tights with boots :)
