Bit of It All.

Bit of a mixed bag today. Here are the results of my detox diet, some more wedding photos as requested, and my pick of new IT-things this week.

First up, my detox diet has been going well. I have lost the extra few pounds I had acquired whilst in Ireland and feel much healthier generally. The first day of fasting was tough and I have to admit I did cheat a little in the evening by having a smoothie and some soup (still healthy and low calorie). By the second day I wasn't experiencing the same hunger but I did have bad headaches, so it is important to keep your intake of water up. Today is the third day and I get to add in protein to my diet (!) I have chosen low calorie options, such as my favourite chicken-style Quorn pieces (eggs are also an excellent source of low calorie protein). I intend to keep up this fruit, veg and protein diet up for a little longer, and have also taken up Pilates which I am loving! I'm not the best for sticking with exercise programmes but I really like how easy going and yet effective Pilates seems to be. Its great for those who want that Miley Cyrus-esque flat stomach, she herself being an avid fan.

Secondly, I have provided more photos of my wedding look, so I hope these provide all of you with a wedding or formal event to attend with some inspiration! The details include; nude heels, a black fascinator from House of Fraser, a pink and white patterned clutch from New Look (Rochelle Wiseman from the Saturdays was seen out with this clutch recently), a pink rose ring and pink nails. I wore my hair in a side bun at the nape of the neck using one of the 'hair doughnuts', some clips and a lot of hairspray!

And my new IT-things? Victoria's Secret's first UK store in  Westfield Shopping Centre, Stratford. I went in yesterday, and it is quite simply amazing. These people certainly know how to market a brand + their products are of amazing quality. I for one, am certainly glad to have this great brand finally in the UK.

One last thing, on my radar this week are Wedge Hi-Tops. These have been growing in popularity over the summer and now I seem to be spotting them everywhere. They are great for adding that hidden bit of height whilst being casual enough for everyday wear. And after Millie Mackintosh was spotted wearing a pair at last nights launch of boyfriend Professor Green's clothing line for Puma, I'm sold. Check out this cute embellished pair from New Look for £64.99! x.

Dresses, Dunn & Detox Diets

So this past week I'm afraid I have gone a bit quiet on you. I was attending a wedding in Ireland and what with bad Internet connections I was unable to get around to writing any new posts. But idle I have not been. Travelling gave me the opportunity to work on a feature about airport style which will be coming shortly and I have been turning my hand to some customisation, which I will also share with you. Aside from this was my final decision on what to wear to the wedding, watching the Olympic Closing Ceremony from a hotel room and enjoying the tribute to British fashion, of which British models Kate Moss, David Gandy and Jourdan Dunn amongst others wowed in golden creations. And my detox diet? Well that refers to the health boost (not to mention carb-cutting) that my diet desperately needs after a week of wedding events and food-driven socialising. I plan to do one day of fasting as promoted recently in a BBC Horizon: Eat, Fast & Live Longer programme, in which I will drink only water and flavoured tea. Day 2 of my cleanse: I will add in fruit and veg in liquid form to my water and tea diet. After this I aim to do a week of all the previous plus low-carb proteins such as eggs and quorn. I'll let you know how this goes and what I plan to do after to get my body back in shape! Stay tuned for upcoming posts on airport style and cheap-and-cheerfull customisation ideas. x.
