Retro dresses from Boohoo

There’s some amazing pieces on Boohoo.com at the moment. Particularly the dresses. Here’s some of my top picks. I’m particularly loving the retro vibe with some of the brand’s new pieces.

dress

The waist detail of the dress is stunning. It’s simple and understated but there’s an elegance to it. I love the monochrome with the polka dots. Beautiful.

Lace panel dress

The lace panel in the dress is beautiful. It also comes in red.

floral dress

I think this is the most beautiful dress I’ve seen in a long time. The colours are perfect for Spring and the length is great. It would look lovely with tights during this transitory period.

It was my Dad’s 60th birthday last week and we had a nice little party, complete with disco and nibbles at our local pub. It was a wonderful night full of catching up and a lot of dancing. Benj and I also revisted TVRs (Tequila, Vodka, Redbull) for the first time in seven years. Mistake.

Fitness Challenge 1 so far

As far as fitness goes, this has been a good week. I’m not going to count my chickens yet because it’s not the end of the challenge and I still have a big party to get through tomorrow. (I can replace food with alcohol, right?) But I have lost weight and inches. Actually, a lot of weight. I don’t trust the accuracy of my scales but I am currently very happy.

Things that have happened so far this week

  • I ran 5k in 37 minutes and 50 seconds
  • I put up with wrist discomfort while doing yoga and didn’t hurt afterwards
  • I went to a pub and didn’t drink alcohol
  • I didn’t beat Ben in any games of badminton
  • I injured my shoulder trying to beat Ben at badminton

Full update on Monday morning. The next challenge will consist of two weeks of the TLC Plan from Activia.

Are magazine diet tips doing us any good?

There’s a magazine I keep seeing at work (it shall remain nameless) that boasts the new diet plans that will help you shift that Christmas weight and how no one wants to wear Spanx.

It got me thinking, do women really need to be told about more ‘diets’ and quick fixes that are going to make them healthier/better/prettier?

Is it too much to say eat less and move more? Generally that will work for 80% of the population.

I intended to go into a 2,000 word tirade about how it’s not ‘easy’ if it were then we wouldn’t all be so god damn fat. However, I’ll leave it here. Comments, abuse and LOLs are welcomed below.
