This weeks Funkydivaa Fashion Fix

So its this weeks Funkydivaa Fashion Fix! my does it come round quickly! And this week I have mainly been lusting over playsuits.Ok yes I know I'm 25 not 2.5 and they do look reminicent of a onesie your mum used to make you wear but I have seen some people rockin this look recently and I love all the differnt types and patterns you can get, they can be evening or day wear if teamed with the right accessories. So heres my top three choices from the website:




1)I love this drape playsuit just add bangles and some stacked wedges for a fab evening look

2)This girly floral print playsuit is perfect for a day time date or maybe even a summer wedding

3)This Coral Strapless playsuit would look amazing on holiday whilst I strolled the parisien streets and even better no strap marks if its sunny!

Some seriously HOTPANTS!

So I bet your wondering what the hell my title is all about? Well I will tell you. Today I have started the "Zagorra HotPants 2 week challenge" using the pants that the lovely people at Zagorra sent me to trial.Now for those of you that havent heard of "HotPants" this is how they are supposed to work:

"HOTPANTS™ help you achieve more with less, maximising your workout and attacking those areas that you care about. Super comfortable, you can wear them indoors, outdoors, in bed at night or during the day, on their own or under your gear.
Specially designed with our Celu‐Lite™ technology, they work to reduce body fat and the visible appearance of cellulite by using your natural body heat to warm your muscles by increasing your perspiration with the effect of potentially reducing 2 jean sizes in 2 weeks."

Now who doesnt want to drop 2 jean sizes in 2 weeks? When I first removed them from the pack and put them on I'll be honest I did think "omg I look ridiculous" they're like a wetsuit and I kind of felt like I was wearing a nappy. But after about 10 minutes they warmed up and felt comfortable enough for me to do the school run with them safely hidden under my jeans.

The challenge Zagorra have set us is to measure and weigh ourselves, wear the "iconic" pants everyday for 2 weeks, re-weighing and measuring weekly to see the results. And fingers crossed after 2 weeks wear we will be 2 sizes smaller!

I was sceptical to begin with as you would expect "surely its not possible to lose weight so quickly just by wearing a pair of pants?" but from looking at their website and their facebook page people are getting results and it was this that intrigued me so much that I just had to try them.I'm hoping that by continuing my slimavite diet with my 30 day shred and now these wonderful pants that I will be bikini ready in time for my long awaited holiday on august the 6th!

And I will of course keep you all up-to-date with my HotPant Challenge

This weeks Funkydivaa Fashion Fix

So this weeks fashion fix is here and it comes courtesy of the stylings of the Duchess of Cambridge. I love how effortlessly chic she is and also that she is not afraid to wear high street designers too! Heres my pick of the wonderful products on http://www.funkydivaa.com/ to get you looking and feeling like a princess in no time:


Kate loves nude nails and this peach melba polish by Barry M would be stunning


Kate knows simple is elegant and this dress says it all


Kate normally goes for nude Jimmy Choo's but I think these black patent heels will do just as good a job and would accent the black belt perfectly

So there you have it my pick's perfect for a Princess and who knows they may even help you catch your own Prince Charming!

Let me know what you think! and dont forget my code: ZOE15 will get you 15% off online!



Slimavite Diet day 72 and weigh in

Soooo its that time of the week again its weigh in day. I was actually dreading it as I sneakily weighed myself on monday morning when normally I only weigh myself once a week and horror! After last weeks amazing 4 lb loss I was devastated to find I'd put a pound on over the weekend and I'd ate reasonably healthily too darn that roast dinner on sunday lol. Well I wasnt having this so I've been extra careful with what I am eating this week and also been hitting the 30 day shred quite hard too and so come this morning I was prepared to step on the scales...As I looked down and the counter finally came to a stop.....

2lb Weight loss

Whoop whoop not only did I shift that nasty pound that snuck on but another one too bringing my weight down to 12st 2lb from the the 13st 4lb I was when I started slimavite!

Really excited as my dream of fitting into smaller clothes are one step closer

New Blog Feature: The Funkydivaa Fashion Fix!

So I was bored last night as you are sometimes. And I was trawling through the Funkydivaa website pointing out to my fiance all the things I would like for my holiday as a treat in celebration of being given that all clear from the hospital (very unlikely now as our car has failed its mot) when I decided that I would do a weekly post on my blog putting together the outfit that I am most coveting from funkydivaa for that week hence the title "Funkydivaa Fashion Fix" Lol. Just a bit of fun really and a way of showing you my style at the same time. My style can be a bit like marmite at times you'll either love it or hate it lol. This week my focus has been on a chic but comfortable holiday outfit. When we go on holiday to the south of France in August we have got a 7 hour+ drive to reach our destination so it is going to be vital that I am comfy however saying that I also dont want to sacrifice on style and want to arrive feeling glamourous. So here is the outfit that I would choose had our car not given up on us and swallowed up all my money!


            Zip Back Crop T Shirt 

                         In Rust

                             Price: £12.99




             Leopard Print Palazzo 

                       In Brown

                             Price: £14.99


Now I have chosen these items for a couple of reasons. One the rust top is gorgeous and not too fussy plus the colour is very on trend and so are the palazzo's at the moment. Two the loose fit in both the top and trousers will be super comfortable. And finally three I have the perfect pair of strappy wedges to compliment this selection. I fell in love with these leopard print palazzo's the moment I saw them on the website, they add a fun, sexy print to your summer wardrobe with out you looking like a scary spice reject.

So there you have it your first insight into the style and tastes of ME! Shame I wont be able rock this look on holiday (stupid car) but let me know what you think!

Slimavite Diet Day 65 and weigh in

So i have just weighed in for this week and i am very very happy!  I also measured my waist again which only added to the happiness lol ....... All in all things are going better, my body has got used to my tablets and i am also glad that i pushed through all those disappointing results. My hard work is also starting to show on a little shopping trip i spotted a gorgeous bikini for my holidays they didn't have a size 16 so I was about to walk away when my fiance encouraged me to at least try the size 14 to see how far off i am. So with reluctance i took the item to the fitting rooms and.........hooray i could get into it! The bottoms fitted lovely the top was just a little to skimpy to contain my boobs properly but to say i was happy is an understatement lol we didn't buy it due to the top but i left debenhams with a skip in my step. And so onto the information you really want to know this weeks figures!

This week i have lost:

4lb in weight & 1 Inch from round my waist!!!!!

:)

Best result so far and so glad to see that my tablets are working here's to many more results like this.
