Now Winter is upon us, somehow my mothers cursing 'you'll catch your death in that outfit' or 'where is your coat?' is starting to configure and is no longer being ignored. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

On a recent night out, i wore trousers for the first time in god knows how long. (Pictured above: Trousers - Matalan £16, Shoes - New Look £35, Lace body - Matalan £6, Crochet Cropped Jacket - Vintage, Oxfam £7, Jewellery - Mixture of Topshop and Vintage)</div></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Whilst my friends were complaining of the cold, i was oblivious - more concerned about how much my feet were aching and how i wished i had a put a pair of flat shoes in my bag. As girls, we will always have something to complain about on a night out (feet, cold, hair or make-up) but as far as i am concerned trousers are the solution to cold Winter nights!</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

The writer, Maura Kelly, claims that she finds 'it aesthetically displeasing to watch a very, very fat person simply walk across a room.'<br />
<br />
The article has offended hundreds of people and the comments have spread over 163 pages - the most i've ever seen!<br />

<a href="http://www.barbour.com/">Barbour</a> jackets.<br />
<br />
Having seen a recent surge of popularity thanks to celebrity endorsement, Barbour have become a sort after brand.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.stylecaster.com/files/size/486x/news/85492_1262734992.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="223" id="il_fi" src="http://www.stylecaster.com/files/size/486x/news/85492_1262734992.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
Earlier this month, a lorry containing 8, 000 Barbour jackets was hijacked by three masked men, whilst the driver was asleep at a service station. Stealing a total of £750, 000 worth of goods, the company has warned that the loss will affect busy times of year such as pheasant season. (I’m not going to lie – what the hell is pheasant season?!)<br />

However, if you are in to all things vintage and unusual, you will definitely appreciate this true find...<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.gloucestervintage.com/">Time After Time</a> is overflowing with vintage accessories, jewellery, clothes and bags - heaven!<br />
<br />
After 2 hours of browsing and spending a small fortune, i had to be prised away from the threat of a parking ticket. I will definitely head back when pay day arrives!<br />
<br />
My favourite purchase of the afternoon is this unusual magnifying glass necklace for £28<br />

(Size 11-12 if you're interested). It was only when i had filled 2 bin liners of clothes and still hadn't even glanced at the other wardrobe, that i realised i might have a small problem...<br />
<br />
In light of my newly discovered obsession of hoarding, i thought i would offer my old clothes, jewellery, makeup and shoes to a welcome audience; my friends. We set a date, time and place and i dragged my 4 bin liners into my tiny car and unpacked the mammoth amount of items at a friend's house.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">So i have a lot of clothes...</div><br />
Admittedly, a lot of the items consisted of things i wore when the Spice Girls were popular, but amongst the things i sold for a small charge were a floral <a href="http://www.topshop.com/">Topshop</a> dress, a <a href="http://www.matalan.co.uk/">Matalan</a> Black Mac and Bed Head hair products. Items that were not snapped up by my grateful friends, will be given to charity.<br />

The moment I had been training for had arrived and there was no turning back. I donned my trainers, shorts and bright blue t-shirt and headed out at 8am to meet other like-minded people. I use the term like-minded loosely, as I am not sure if everyone was thinking ‘what the f* are we doing in the cold, wet and windy weather, with water dripping down our faces and huddling together for warmth?! Can we fob this off and go and watch Hollyoaks catch up please?’ I had to keep reminding myself that it was for a brilliant cause and that it would only be for a maximum of 2 hours, unless of course I collapsed out of hypothermia.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">D-Day was actually the </span><a href="http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/10k/"><span style="font-family: inherit;">10k Race for Life in Gloucester</span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> and having completed the 5k in scorching temperatures over a rough terrain, I definitely wasn’t looking forward to double the distance in freezing cold temperatures!</span><br />

</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">My boyfriend and I arrived at the venue and huddled together to try and keep warm whilst heart fm entertained us with various interviews and music. Then, the far too energetic aerobics instructor attempted to get us warmed up and pumped for run, by prancing around stage shouting ‘come on guys, this is fun!’ Needless to say my boyfriend conveniently disappeared and left me doing a half-hearted attempt with my two left feet. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">After splitting us into athletes and non-athletes (i.e. runners and joggers) the buzzer sounded and off I started running head first into wind and rain. I plugged my ear phones into my iPod and decided that I was going to do the distance without stopping.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Once we got into town the atmosphere was great – I was cheered on my shoppers, dog walkers, policemen and bystanders. (Plus a few drunk people. It is Gloucester after all!)Even though I couldn’t hear the cheering through my music, it was a great motivator and really encouraged me to keep going. For all of you of you that saw a red-faced, sweaty and generally unattractive girl with brown hair – it definitely wasn’t me...promise!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

<br />
My friend won tickets to <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/1xtra/1xtralive/2010/">Radio 1xtra Live</a> at Wembley and for those of you who are not 'down with the kids' (for the record, i had no idea about the event until my friend won tickets) the aim of the concert was to celebrate UK RnB and Hip Hop artists.<br />
<br />
One of my favourite artists was Jason Derulo. Not because he stripped off, although this may have helped, but because he simply has one hell of a voice!<br />
<br />

<br />
Another favourite artist that i hadn't heard much of until the event is B.o.B, famous for his song entitled Airplanes. <br />
<br />
I am now a new fan, not because of his songs, but because of his outfit! Check it out...<br />

<div><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGNxjDyebLyGurelIssqTVI3D_Iyap7EDY8kaUVth0p3KsvRCfnrEy65G27JLqKdFJUKU6-tgS5QiXZpR4tzuPdSQ183IQ0qiDOpuO8x3uiKz6-moVKs-Hn9DDkfB05e85FO0nMmrXi5rk/s320/article-1311683-0B2C91B4000005DC-477_306x1025.jpg" /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Image source: The Daily Mail</div><div><br />
</div><div>She wore this ensemble to the <a href="http://www.mtv.co.uk/events/vmas">VMA's</a> earlier this week and there is speculation as to whether the dress is made of real meat (i really hope not). </div><div><br />
</div><div>As much as we may hate it, her goal was to create media coverage - and that she has definitely done!</div><div><br />
</div><div>So, what do you think Lady Gaga's next outfit will be? A clown because she doesn't take herself too seriously perhaps?! </div><div><br />

<br />
Good points:<br />
<br />
<ul><li>The interface was user-friendly and i was able to navigate around the tools very easily. </li>
<li>The daily weight loss tips were great and something i will definitely miss.</li>
<li>It was simple to use and the automatic calorie counter was fab.</li>
<li>Great when you are at work or lead a hectic social life - it took me a maximum of 5 minutes each day to fill in my food and exercise doseage.</li>
<li>Being able to see your results visually on a graph was encouraging.</li>
</ul><br />
Bad points:<br />
<br />
<ul><li>I didn't lose any extra weight using the system. </li>
<li>Inputting data online made it easier to cheat because i didn't have to go along to the embarrassing meetings and be named and shamed in front of my peers.</li>
</ul><br />
My verdict: great to use if you are on the go, don't use full time because if you are like me, you will need pushing to get rid of your bingo wings!D.A.R.Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13767064972956535615noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162652560878929744.post-1768845684896533752010-09-07T21:00:00.001+01:002010-09-07T21:08:21.475+01:00No more weeds with Brandon FlowersOn my way to work this morning I heard this amazing song and had to share it with you! <br />
