"There's an apple in the fridge..."

Ok, bit of an odd post for you, but hey ho, let's roll with it!
I've been slacking in the posting stakes, so here's a nice little fluffy post, the equivalent to those cute news pieces that come about when there's not really that much news about, for example, dogs that can drive, or a circus chimp that saved a lion from a burning tent using only an ice lolly and it's tail.

Tasty ways to eat more fruit / get your five a day, is the point of this post, so please bear with me.
-I keep my apples in the fridge, so they're cool, crisp and super tasty (especially when i get back from the gym)
-have salad. with. everything.
-skip out of the carbohydrates occasionally, for example, have your curry / chilli with a plain salad instead of rice or pasta.
-have a banana in the morning, with a glass of fruit juice (it makes my day start so much better!)
-mix your fruit juices- i loooooove the Innocent fruit juices with a passion beyond humanity, and i mix the orange with the apple, and the apple with the apple + raspberry, and so on and so forth.

SO that's my few tasty tips for eating more fruit. This post is a bit of a mess, but yknow!
I hope you've enjoyed reading!:P

Christmas Party Outfit Blogger Challenge

I saw this on someone else's blog and thought i'd take a festive stab at it! (well that sounded creepy..)

It's basically trying to create a Christmas party outfit for less than or exactly £100 from one of the merchants that they list on the website (here). and you can get to the website (FashionVouchers.com here! :)

I chose ASOS because it seemed to be more of a challenge, as it is all good quality and tends to be expensive stuff. I went for, instead of the typical red/green and gold ensemble, i focused on black and gold, like the extravagance of the three wise men. 

I chose a gold skirt dip hem (or hi/lo) skirt, which is the most expensive piece. I chose this in particular because it screams festive glamour to me, and i think the pleats would elongate the legs as they're vertical.

The cami top is to keep the whole look smart enough to be a party look, but casual and comfortable enough to eat as many mince pies as you can. 

The tights add festive cheer as they use a luxe pattern, and the earrings are my personal favourite piece of the outfit, and they'd jazz up a pony tail, or sit elegantly if you were to wear your hair down.

The shoes have the expensive detailing of a golden heel (similar to the Loubitin trademark red).

Overall, i think this look is very "Bond girl at Christmas", and comes to exactly £100- i'll toast to that!

Christmas List 2012

27 days til Christmas!!! Wow, this year has come and gone quickly. It's kind of taken me by surprise :-)

So I thought I'd share with you [part of] my Christmas list, which as you can see, includes the near-iconic Naked 2 Palette by Urban Decay, a Boy London t shirt and Korres lip butter. I tend to always be very strict with myself at Christmas because i always seem to wish for too much, but this year, it has been a struggle! I couldn't think of what i wanted! And I haven't even begun my Christmas shopping yet...

(PS who else loved the John Lewis christmas advert with the snowmen? Mega-awww! If you haven't seen it yet, have a look here)

What do you want for Christmas? Have you started Christmas shopping yet?
