Getting Sweaty with Betty - Shopping workout

Sweaty Betty is one of my favourite stores when it comes to gym wear. Not only do they sell really cute clothes for your workout, they are also super friendly. The store near High Street Kensington in London stayed open just for me so that I could take my time to chose between about a trillion of outfit options.


In the end it took less than 30 minutes (including a rather difficult decision making process). I didn't want to keep the poor girls for too long. Real, true power-shopping © ** . 


This is what I got...


The ideal poser top to show off your latest Pilates moves

Double Time Tank with Compression Capri from Sweaty Betty

or if that cute guy caught you staring at his culo again the perfect hiding place.

The tank has two layers, one fitted and figure hugging with a loose cami on top.


The compression pants literally press your legs into shape and apparently help them to recover easier after you've done your exercise. For now I just think they look great.




I never stopped dancing around in my house after I watched Black Swan... I loove the grey top. Its a little longer than the usual top and the rushed detailing is really flattering.

Also on my radar these really cool fishnet tights/pants that you wear together with a short pant. If you're brave, you can of course wear them without. Please let me know if you do. Love to see the reactions...

Shopping gym gear totally energises you. I can only recommend it.  Just in case you ever need a little boost to get you going...

And now enjoy working out in style. 



** power-shopping = invented by my cousin, Ste, is no fuss focused shopping where you're in & out of the shops in less than one hour. fits perfectly into your lunch break or before you go out for dinner.

The colours of London Fashion Week SS12 - Yeah-Yeah-Yellow

I really should start paying more attention to what is going on in the rest of the world, outside my post fashion week bubble. I know all details of look 22 on the Theysken catwalk but pay little to no attention to wars, politics and the last financial crises.

This. Has. To. Stop. It's really embarrassing. 

But lets have just one more - last - look at what I spotted at London Fashion week.  And then, I promise, I'm going to watch the news.

It was colours, colours, colours. 

Mark Fast presented a collection full with crochet dresses, fringes and a feast of colours.Prepare yourself for a spring/ summer in canary yellow and fluoro orange in combination with sophisticated sand, black and white. The dresses were screaming summer and will be a faboulus look for the glamouros beach babes amongst us.

Felder Felder sisters, Annette and Dani stayed stayed true to their rock'n'roll style but incorporated bright orange and aqua into their edgy looks . My favourite was an orange flowy maxi dress with stud detailing. 

Also, next season for the first from Felder Felder - bikinis. I'm so going to rock up at Salinas in that bikini!

And another beach look I'm in love with: Paolita presented this super cool bronze coloured bikini for next season.

Looks like I need to book a lot of holidays?!

Many other designers picked up on the colour trend and after a stroll through the exhibition all I want is yellow.

Canary yellow, my favourite colour for SS12. Bright, light and positive - just what you need for a perfect summer!
