Street Style







Believe it or not, for someone who grew up the biggest tomboy, fought with my brothers as a child and lived in tracksuits. Wearing trainers and baggy jumpers is what I loved most.. and still do! this is what I would wear everyday if it was acceptable to bowl into the office with a baggy jumper and Adidas ultraboosts on.

I absolutely love feeling comfortable in a jumper with a pair of leggings or comfy jeans. it is perfect to wear during the day or on your days off! As we still have a few months left of cold weather and also UK being 70% winter, its perfect for layers on layers. layering up with a nice shearling coat and jumper is a perfect way to keep you warm! In my opinion H&M is perfect for jumpers and baggy tops.

I also recommend these Vans for all year use, I didn't have a pair until recently... I was even reluctant to buy them so my brother brought them as a Christmas present and I have now fallen in love. they literally go with anything!

This is definitely one of my fave outfits at the moment!!

Strength Training and what I eat in a day











Being a girl in the gym can be so intimidating for some, I know all you see on instagram is girls and guys with incredible physique’s but they all started from somewhere. I remember my first time In the gym I was petrified, had no idea what I was doing and me and my friend still laugh now about how I struggled to shoulder press a 2kg dumbbell!! The main aspect of training which I am sure anyone who trains will agree is consistency and dedication. 
Once you get into the swing of things, believe it or not its hard to get out of it!

I feel like I hit a plateau in my training lately and I soon realised I really wasn’t pushing myself hard enough in order to grow. I decided I want to put on size, so I started strength training which consists of doing 5 sets of 5 reps on a heavy weight and focus on doing 4-5 compound exercises in a session. I also UPPED my carbs to over 200g a day and at the moment I am feeling stronger than ever and I am the biggest I have ever been(in a good way!) I'm so happy with my progress!

For everyone who knows me, knows that I LOVE to eat! I am a massive foodie and a little fat kid at heart, with upping my carbs and figuring out my macros (daily carb,protein and fat intake) I have had to up my cardio to 20 minutes a day..which really isn't fun :( but I find dog walking is a good form of cardio! its important to let your body get used to the extra calories. My main piece of advice to any girl looking to put on muscle and grow a booty is don't be afraid to eat!!

I have listed below a typical days food for me, I am not that anal about weighing and tracking all my macros to absolute precision.. but it is good to check food packets and weigh food if your unsure of the content so that you have a good idea of what you are eating.I hope this helps! Remember that a persons height and weight is taken in to consideration when figuring out macros so this is different for everyone.

Thanks for reading

Valentines Day






After a very very long January, we finally made it to February! which means one thing... although in my opinion overrated and a massive cliche, Valentines day is still a popular holiday of the year. 
So whether your single and heading out with your girlfriends or a dinner with your man, whatever it is - its a chance to dress up!

There is nothing like a strappy pair of sandals to add that dressy look to a pair of casual Jeans. Ripped washed out jeans are an essential to any girls winter wardrobe, although not so warm they add that edge to a simple look. I have rolled my jeans up but only slightly to that they sit on the ankles perfectly and avoided covering the nude ankle strap, these jeans are a W28 and L34, I'm 5'8 and a 10/12 in size.

Adding the black Chanel inspired bag to this pastel coloured outfit tops it off and is definitely the outfits statement accessory.
So if you are going out for the night or having a quiet dinner, as any girl would agree ....you can't ever go wrong with jeans and a nice top.
