Move over new look!

There's a new favourite store in town!

Since about 10o'clock this morning my numero uno store has changed toooo
TESCO!

Yes indeed, not only can I grab two bags of do-nuts for £1 (mmmm) I can also get lots of lovely cheap clothes!
Cheap they are but the quality is actually really nice! I ordered a few bits and pieces on-line a couple of nights ago and they came this morning! Really wasn't expecting it so quick! 

On to what I bought!
This pretty little dress for £8
Cutesy hand warmers for £3
Jumper £5
Snood £5
Little black pumps for £7.92
And these killers for £12.50.

Now! Since my order was over £40 I got to get a discount for £10 off. So that plus postage came to £34

Not too shabby.
 I was really surprised at the quality and fit of these, they're perfect! The clothing is all size 6. I'd say I go from a 6 to an 8 generally... But as I said they fit like a glove. I obviously haven't washed these yet so we will see how long they last. I will definitely be shopping there again though.

If I haven't mentioned this before I like to use http://www.discountcoder.com/ when I shop online!
I will always search in there first before I go through with a purchase... Just to see if there's any offers or vouchers flying around :) Have saved a few bob here and there anyway!

Well girls I haven't actually been to bed yet... Naughty I know! So I'm going to have a couple hours before I have to go shopping for my brother in laws b-day!

Have a nice day ladies 

Love as always

Summer to autumn.

Hello beautiful ladies, hope everyone is well :)

I'm so sad at the moment... I am not ready to say goodbye to summer at all! We barley seen it! In all honesty It was just plain rude. 
Don't get me wrong I am loving the military boots and a lot of the autumn fashion that is stocking the shelves at the moment... But I am not ready to stuff my pretty summer colours and frills to the back of my wardrobe.
So I am attempting to cling on as long as I can without looking stupid.

Today, I just added a floral scarf. It's not much but it brightened my mood!
I'm loving scarves in my hair at the moment! I feel so bland without them!
 I love this one especially, it's just so pretty and bright.

And onto the boots. I'm guessing these will probably show up quite a lot in the upcoming colder months.
They are so comfy and well, I just love them!

This is what I wore out to dinner with Matt and his family, It was a nice pub restaurant.. 
Therefore didn't want to go too fancy or too dull!

Top - £4 H&M
Jeans - £20 Miss selfridge
Boots - £12 Primark
Necklace 50p Car boot

I can't stay and ramble about things like normal. I have a date with some chocolate and a good film ;)

Toodle-oo!

Who do you dress up for?

This is something my boyfriend not so seriously asked me.. yet it got me thinking..
He was basically hint asking if I dress up for other men when I go out with the girls for instance 
Some girls have even accused me of dressing up to just plain "show off" 

The girls that have followed me for a while or those of you have looked through a lot of my blog will know I have confidence issues, it's only been the last couple of years I've not just hid in my clothes.


It's really been in the last year that I have come out of my fashion shell. I would have never dreamed of showing my legs, a bit of ankle was pushing it. Now though, people are most likely sick of my pins...
Here's what I plan on wearing on my next night out (inspired by my last post hehe)
These are from New Look, not mine yet but I'm hoping to get something similar!



These shorts are very short.. If I didn't have the shorts underneath there would be cheekage! 

SO, who do you dress up for? Men? Like the attention?
Other girls?
Or just yourself?

I have to say I don't know.
I'm 100% sure I don't dress up for other men, the attention freaks me out. Even If I was single I don't think I'd go on "the pull" 
Maybe for girls..? It's always nice to be told I look good and I always make a point of telling people they look good too.. 

It's just hit me... A lot of the time I dress up... for you lot... 
I do try a little harder to look nice for my followers.. For a nice OOTD or whatever...


haha

Well there you go life's questions can always be answered while blogging!

What now? Let's solve world hunger ladies!

Lazy girls exercise and diet tips!

Hello sun beams!

I recently just answered some questions for Tabitha Bluebell (Great blog) 
She mentioned my "enviably flat stomach" heh.. It got me thinking.. You know it aint too shabby! Now, don't get me wrong. I have wobbly bits.. I don't have a perfectly toned body but I can wear a crop top and feel pretty comfortable.


I think It was this day she's talking about.

Now here's the point of the post! I really struggled to answer her question on how I keep my tum trim.. I don't go to the gym.. I don't run or do any of those exercisey type things.. so how on earth do I keep relatively slim...?

Here's what I've come up with.

1. Now this one is everywhere but so sooo true. Water, drink a freakin bucket  load of this and you will notice a difference.. Not only in your weight but your skin. It makes you feel fuller, so less chance of snacking. I don't know the technical definition or whatever but it stops your body storing so much water.. So it gets your bloat down.. Or something. Just drink water. :)
2. Oh Ice cold water.. Apparently your body works a little bit harder to heat up.. So burns calories.. 
3. Green tea. I swear by this. Lemon and ginger, I have 5 cups a day. Loovly.
4. Keep active, as I said I don't go to the gym or anything but I like to walk everywhere.. Instead of getting the bus or a lift I'll walk. I run up stairs.. Sometimes It's slightly embarrassing but I can't stop now! I never take the lift. Even when I was tiling a lawyers office kitchen on the top floor carrying very heavy tools and tiles.
5. Take the weekend off, treat yourself. This weekend I had a large stuffed crust pizza all to myself with chocolate cake afterwards and a lush roast on Sunday. I don't feel like I'm missing out.
6. Count your calories using http://www.thedailyplate.com/ You can also put in what exercises you have done in the day and it tells you how much you've burned. Shopping is counted as exercise. Result.
7. Look at fit girls. This isn't as pleasurable as it sounds! Look at the type of body you would dream of, have it as your inspiration. Whenever I look at http://kenzas.se/ I suddenly don't feel so hungry and fancy a walk!
8. Don't let it put you into a depression though, starving yourself may work for short term but will fook you up later on.
9. Find something healthy you enjoy, I have a resent love for wholemeal pitta bread. I have it for lunch with a nice turkey salad thrown in, or toasted with baked beans!
10. Dance, I am one of the worst dancers in the world but I adore it. I stick my ipod on and dance like crazy infront of the mirror. I get such a sweat on. 

I know these are all pretty obvious tips, and this will not get you Kenza's body.. 
but it helps keep me trim.
I definitely will attempt to become super fit at some point.. Maybe when I go somewhere bikini worthy but right now I'm pretty happy with my shape. And so should you be. Just be healthy and happy :)


On another note.
Here are some pictures of me in clothing.
Didn't manage to get any full length pictures of this.. plus I looked an actual state!

Two words. Foam party. SO much fun.. but why oh why on the day I decide to wear wash off tan?
Not to mention a false lash half way down my face.. haha. 
I wore this anyway
+ a belt and bangles I can't find :)

Skirt- £4 H+M
Top- £4 H+M
Shoes- £12 Internacional
Ring £4 New Look
Necklace 50p Car boot.
Ended up just washing off all my make up and opting for a see through t-shirt.

Fun times. TTFN ladies!
