Was finally brave enough to rock this look at school.

Daily Outfit: White Lace
School, late-night shopping and impromptu curry night with the man. I dig the jacket a whole lot.
This coat has matching lace leggings, you know?

Daily Outfit: Bluecoat
Got dressed in a hurry for band last week. A bit Frenchie? Trying new things is always fun! Hope it doesn't offend your eyeballs too badly.

Good habits
They say it takes four weeks to develop a habit. Well I've just ticked over into my fourth week of running and couldn't be happier!

While I've never been a particularly unhealthy person (vegetarian, non-smoker, cyclist), I've never been fit either. Since switching from daily cycling to driving, I needed to inject some exercise into my lifestyle.
I'd been debating the idea since returning home from France a year ago and finally bit the bullet and bought appropriate shoes one month back. Since then I've been running three times a week, with the help of this app. It's brilliant! When I compare the way I was running this afternoon to how much I was struggling with one-minute runs a few weeks back.... It feels so good to feel your body getting stronger.
I don't want to become one of those people that go on and on about exercise. But if you are considering running, or just feel the need to make a change I encourage you to try it. Start slowly. Don't worry about people looking at you - I promise you they're not. Step into your new sneakers, put on a cotton tshirt and slick your hair into a high ponytail. Fuchsia lipstick optional (not too bad with my pink post-exercise face!) Just get out there, into the fresh air and do it. Peek into your neighbours' gardens. Avoid the dog poo. Take a different direction every day. Drop off overdue books at the library along the way. Make it part of your routine.

Daily Outfit: Got Dots?
Last week was quite a spotty one!
Beautiful weather on Wednesday. Unlike this week. Harrumph.

Parfait pour le Tour!
Been thinking about how I want to spend my Bastille Day: French pastries, red wine, Tour watching? Sounds good.
Daily Outfit: Winter Colour
Hey there! You there! I've been off the blogging bandwagon for quite a few weeks now but hoping the occasional outfit shot will keep you clicking back.
I have been trying my hardest lately to keep up the colour, despite the grey winter days getting me down. The principal at my school commented that I must be the most colourful member of staff, and thankfully he meant it as a compliment.
Shopping sporadically means I am making do with what's in my closet (and making the most of the clothing swap I held a few weeks ago!) I find this site really amazing for fun colour combinations and am keen to bust out of my makeup rut (I have so much makeup that I never find an occasion to use, and I really should). Incidentally, I'm reading a novel all about colour at the moment! (Jasper Fforde, Shades of Grey).
