Personal Training - My Guilty Pleasure



Personal training in my own home, at my own pace. All the kit is brought along. My wonderful trainer and now good friend is enthusiastic, goal orientated, and knows how to motivate me further each time. I pay for the time and expertise of a brilliant trainer, no sweaty gym or fancy club to support with my fees. No parking or traffic issues. It's all about me! And it works. 


Since I have been training with Carrie, I have found myself looking forward to the work outs and sessions. As a personal stylist, I need to set a good example to my clients and indeed for myself. To say I feel better for it would be an understatement. I have more energy, I look so much healthier and I'm generally enjoying life so much more. I'm even running my first 10k in a few months!! Roll on the summer!


I highly recommend Carrie from Enrich Fitness - http://www.enrichfitness.co.uk/

Dream Dress: NW3 Collection at Hobbs





In the interests of full disclosure, I should probably admit that I wore this NW3 Military Dress (£149) for Afternoon Tea with the girls at The Petersham today.  I absolutely adore every single element of this dress, from the incredibly right shade of emerald green to its amazing feminine shape (making it perfect if you want to accentuate those va-va-va-voom curves). I especially love the little flare on the skirt, and the bow around the waist, which means you can cinch it in to accentuate your shape.   Plus, it's incredibly soft, making it feel more like you're wearing a hug than a dress. Teamed with bright red lipstick and a killer pair of heels, it's definitely the thing to wear if you're looking to make a (very) stylish statement.


Back to NW3, I love it's heritage. The name comes from Hampstead's post code, NW3 - the location of Hobbs' first store. The NW3 branding, namely a gold coin, is based on the original currency used in Hampstead a few centuries ago.The idea was to have regionalised currency so people would have to buy local and stay local..makes sense! The attention to detail is impressive, the NW3 coin is cleverly woven throughout dresses and jackets, into lining and stamped on buttons. I absolutely love this brand!
