WORK IT OUT!

In spirit of the Nike She Run which I am taking part in tonight, I share with you all some of my favourite work out essentials! My favourite thought is that if you are wearing sexy clothes when you work out then you will get SEXY RESULTS! These are my must haves when you break a sweat!

TOPS
Nike and Adidas are my go to for just about everything sports related.

BOTTOMS
In my opinion adidas have the best work out tights. They're thick and not see-through which is hard to find these days. Nike make some really funky shorts which I absolutely adore. Another pair of bottoms which are very thick are bottoms by Victoria's Secret. Comfortable, flattering and great to work out in.

EXTRA NECESSITIES

Gym towel: There is really no need for an explanation as to why this is so vital. Look for microfibre towels when searching for one. Ones with pockets are great for storing things like your gym key and phone.

 Sports bras: Again no explanation needed. When searching for the right one search for fit and comfort not style. You don't go to the gym to look pretty. You go to sweat and work hard and you need the support from the right bra to achieve this. I found this in the Victoria Secret sports bra.

Arm Band: Find them at your local sports store or ebay. This is a necessity for anyone who has to workout to music.

PowerBeats by Dr Dre: The perfect running headphones. They mould to your ears. The sound is impeccable. They are one of my best investments!

Personal training diary: This is great to help me keep track of what I do during my workout, planning my workouts and reminding me of how much weight I lift. Knowing these details helps me improve and push myself each time I work out.

MY WINTER ESSENTIALS!

I have made a youtube channel! Finally! It's been on my list of things to do forever and now it's finally up and running. It's in it's early days but I have heaps of fun making videos. So I'm going to try to get my posts to fit in with my videos so you have a visual for everything I explain :)

As the weather cools down dramatically on my side of the world it was only fitting that I created a winter essentials list. 

You need to buy/own/dress the following:

LEGGINGS
It is easy to hate a girl wearing leggings. But lets face it. They are a great way to keep warm and stylish during the colder months. As long as you don't chuck a lululemon and go see-through. If you really don't want to flaunt the cotton then they are a great piece to wear UNDER clothes such as jeans and maxi skirts to add an extra layer of warmth to your outfit.

LONG SLEEVE TOPS
One word:Layers. 

STOCKINGS
I invested in a Berlei pair that boast to be dig-free. This allows you to wear figure hugging dresses whilst still looking hot without being cold.

BOOTS
These are a must have. Even if you own one pair they are a necessity during winter. There is no better way to keep your feet warm.

SCARFS
I prefer big wooly ones for a dramatic winter look but you can tone it down with something not as heavy and still keep your neck toasty.

A BLACK COAT
Invest in a well-made well-fittin coat and have it forever. That's why it's called an investment. You may be spending a little bit of cash but I guarantee you if you get one that is flattering and well-made you will wear the life out of it.

A PARKER JACKET
My IT jacket. So cool and fashionable and such a chic way to keep warm. It's got such a safari/outdoorsey feel to it. I have both a khaki and blue colour and obsess over them.

Take a look at my video!

Inspire Me: Moschino Belt

 I am bursting with joy to say I have a gorgeous Moschino belt on the way to me. I have wanted one for ages and I have no idea what took me so long! Nevertheless it's on ti's way and I can't wait to accessorise it. I got a mini one only because I like that it is more subtle whilst still being oh so fashionably chic. 

The following are some photos that give inspiration on ways to wear and style the belt. It is flashy so you don't want the rest of your outfit to make your look too overpowering. Keep it simple!

KEEP IT SEXY XX

H&M to open a store in Australia

Pretty pretty please I pray to all the fashion gods out there let this store open in Sydney. How I love H&M so very much. It is on my must shop list every time I travel. They have cute and affordable pieces that are the perfect addition to any wardrobe.

They announced via social networking that a store is confirmed to open in 2014. Most predict that they will follow in the steps of Topshop and ZARA and open a store in Melbourne first (please don't let this be true!). However, like both those stores they quickly realised how urgently they needed to move to Sydney and within a year there they were. 

All I have to say is I can't wait and I feel sorry for my wallet. RIP MONEY.

Stars With Bangs

When the seasons begin to change it gives people the perfect excuse to change something in their lives, that usually starts with hair. Bangs are the perfect change for those who want to change their appearance without the dedication of chopping off all their locks or dying their hair a different colour. There's also clip in bangs that you can cut to your face shape for a temporary change of look. I've put together some of my favourite celebs sporting the style.

Lagerfeld the director

Karl Lagerfeld is set to direct a film in honour of the 100th anniversary of Chanel. The icon will be played by Keira Knightley who Lagerfeld has dubbed as one of his muses.

It will be released in May when they showcase their cruise collection in Singapore.

I'm very excited about this. I adore Chanel. I'm one of those freaky fans that watch every single movie and read every book about someone they adore. For me that's Chanel and Marilyn Monroe. I think Keira is going to make a killer Chanel! She's got the looks to pull her off. Plus, Lagerfeld is genius. And the chemistry they have will show on film I'm sure!

Kitty Cat Love

Whether you're a crazy cat lady or a kitty loving fashionista Charlotte Olympia has the perfect selection of shoes to cater your cat loving needs.

From a slipper to an espadrille...I want them all! Oh and the best part is Neiman Marcus ship for free to Australia! So get shopping!
