Perfect Start To The Weekend

Hello beautiful people, this weekend is going perfectly. This Saturday has been the first Saturday that I’ve been allowed off work in about 6 months, as my work gets very busy on weekends.

So I started my morning off by writing a new post and then getting ready for the day. Loving the feeling that i don't need to go to work on a saturday and that i can just have a normal saturday with my boyfriend. I met Mark in town to look for some presents to give our mothers and we were both successful in finding a present. I got my mum a typical gift for mothers day.. Orchids, its her favourite! SO PRETTY! 

The best part of the day was going for a drive alone side the beach, then going to Ransoms Tearoom to get some lunch. I’ve been trying to be healthy for the past two weeks and I can already see some results but today I could hold the temptations any longer. So I went all out and got myself an Afternoon tea to myself... I felt guilty as I’ve been sticking to my healthy routine but its good to treat yourself once in a while. By the time I finished the hot chocolate and the fruit scone I couldn’t eat anymore. I ordered a New York cheesecake with it and I couldn’t finish it but I wasn’t going to leave it there.. So I ended up taking it in a box for dinner. I love the cakes and food from there and I can say that its one of my favourite restaurants.

Hey guys, I hope you’re having a good weekend. I thought I’d post this look today as I'm finally off and all week I've been too busy and tired to post anything. I've been doing the late shifts at work all week and its hard as I can’t see my friends… Sorry about that little break down and I’ll be moving on now… For the past year I’ve loved the older chic look since I saw this blog owned by Kristina Bazan. Her pieces and outfits of the day are so elegant. So this look inspiration came from here. When I grow older I wish I could have her amazing style.

Its mothers day on Sunday and unfortunately I won't be with my mother as she will be going away on holiday for a week 'TAKE ME :(' and I couldn’t join my parents because my work wouldn’t allowed me too as I’ve already booked a holiday. Seriously can’t wait to go back to school and not ask a holiday request form, it’s so scary.

Yesterday we all went out for dinner, which she kindly treated my boyfriend and I too. When she gets back ill have a massive surprise for her. I was so stuffed my stomach hurt hahah haven’t had that feeling in a while. Ill be posting the pictures up tonight or tomorrow and I’m not kidding about this the portion sizes they were huge. I love that about Portuguese restaurants.

XOXO

Hello guys i hope you've been having a good week. Yesterday a lot of the clothes that I've ordered online have finally  arrived and this piece in one of them. I went on New Look online last week and i didn't expect to like their new trends and for the price i couldn't resist. I love this blazer and skirt its simple and and the colour is perfect for spring/summer. Today i went to meet a friend for some afternoon tea and the weather was amazing for once luckily, so i took advantage of it. For the past month and I've been looking for a dress for my birthday and i found a perfect white dress from Tiger Mist. Its on my whist list with a few others.

Since i saw this bag i've always wanted one, it's elegant and its such a pretty piece to have for a smart day outfit. My top 3 bags from this list have to be the first image, second image and the last image. They all cost around £15.00 -£25.00, an absolute bargain!

New - Michael Kors Cross-Body Bag

Hey guys, hope your having an amazing week. So i have the best mother in the world, i've wanted this bag since i booked my holiday to Santorini. The quality is amazing and its just the perfect size to put my phone, money and i few other things. Inside of the bag there are two compartments, one side is fitted for your phone and the other side has a lots of slots for your cards (LOVE IT). Its just a simple small bag that you can wear when you don't want to carry a massive bag around. One thing that i didn't expect was the length of the straps, they're really long and because i'm short it goes up to my knees, but ill fix that some how. I'll be wearing this a lot throughout summer as ill be free then but I'm stuck with my big bags that contain my work things, gym clothes and revision books. I definitely recommed this to anyone thats looking for a small cute cross over bag.  

XOXO

Hey Guys, recently I’ve been in love with black as you can see. But as spring is here I’ve bought new clothes which are much brighter and colourful and ill be going back to the black less. This is one of my favourite skirts that i own  just because of the leather look, plus the over wrap. Sorry that I haven’t been posting much on here but i’ve been enjoying the sun for past week on top of work, since october the weather has been horrible. I have lots of things to show and review and I can’t wait to show you guys!

How i keep fit

I haven't been fit all of my life, the past two - three years I have been my fittest and most happy with my body. I used to be a size UK 12-14 but as I've pushed myself I'm now a UK size 6-8. EATING When I decided to loose weight the first thing I had to let go was the amount of food I used to eat and control my cravings. For example after dinner I would be full but my head would always say more, without thinking of the consequences (I WAS BLIND TO MY WEIGHT) but now I've leant to have a piece of fruit instead of a sandwich. I know a lot of people that count how much they eat and I know that counting what you eat won't matter.. its all about the good food. I usually start my day by eating a bowl of fruits, which includes apples, bananas or different fruit. oh.. and I drink a mug of coffee. thats one thing i'll never give up... COFFEEEEEE MMMMMMM! *.* Then until lunch I usually drink water or ice tea and that usually compresses my cravings and it does fill you up, but when I get those days where I just want to munch away on everything, I have a low fat yoghurt. When dinner time rolls up I never say no to what mum cooks me as i'm Portuguese and I love my pasta but I try not to eat too much. When she does cook me those types of food I try to control the portions. But I like to keep to the safe side and have a salad, mixed with different meats and veg. Even though I can't say i always enjoy it (keep to the routine). KEEPING ACTIVE I am a fitness fanatic and I love to look after my body and keeping active. It's the number one reason why my weight loose has worked. I have a monthly membership at a gym where I can do different classes like spinning, boxing, zumba, body bump and much more activities which never fails to keep me active. Keeping up with cardio is hard and unfortunately is one of the things that helps you loose weight. When I'm at the gym before starting my workout I like to do 10 minutes of running to get me hot and pumped but that isn't enough. As I'm working I bought myself a cross trainer and I start the mornings by going on it for 30 minutes. By completing my cardio in the mornings it keeps me happy throughout the day, knowing that its out of the way. When i'm at the gym I like to concentrate on two areas of my body and then the next day I chang it to two different parts. At the gym when I get demotivated i usually just motivate myself but putting some songs or looking at a picture of someone that i'm aiming or inspiring to look like. 

For the body you want you have to work for it and also eat healthy!

Hello lovelies, i've been busy quite busy recently with work as my hours are different every week and then after work I need to revise for my exam. In my spare time before work like this morning I like to drink some coffee and lie in bed, cosy watching some makeup or haul videos on youtube. I love seeing what they get and the reviews that they post too, after watching these videos I usually get tempted to do some online shopping. 
As I've bought a lot of things already this month (waiting for them to arrive) and I mean a lot, I'm saving up for next month as my birthday is coming up soon. Plus for next month I'm thinking of buying some dresses for my holiday which i'll be posting up too. 

STARTING ON MONDAY!
The Past 2 months I haven't been exercising and I need to get back to the gym as I've noticed some differences like my stomach and my arms. I need to go back and tone them up for my holiday. I'M TAKING MY ASS TO THE GYM ON MONDAY, NO BUTS! Its been hard recently as I get so tired after work and the timing isn't ideal but i need to stop making excuses now.
I might post some fitness updates and some of my exercise routine.

Pink Spring Bag

Bag from Dorothy Perkins

I LOVE BAGS, ever since I can remember my obsession has been with bags and I don't know why. It's an expensive addiction and now that I'm older I have a broader knowledge of different bags and hopefully for my birthday I can get the one bag that I want.

Since spring has come and the new trend revolves around pastel colours, I've fallen in love with pink again (as you can see *o*) and I've been looking for that perfect little cute bag for this session and I finally found it. When I laid my eyes on it I knew immediately that I had to get it. I love how it's so simple and the black detailed lining on the edges of the bag. I didn't expect how many things you can fit into it. The price was perfect too, it was only 16 pounds and I thought it would cost more so I definitely had to get it. I honestly think this bag will last me a while and secondly this is my first coloured bag as all of the rest are black or brown. I love this bag so much and I definitely recommend for you to buy it, it's so cute and it reminded me of the Cambridge Satchels.

XOXO
