Sweat it out!

Gymwear is one area of fashion that has always left me wanting something better.  Over the years I've struggled through striped pastel leotards (80s), through shiny and unforgiving leggings in neon brights (90s) and baggy shapeless t-shirts (00s).  I think now I have found the answer - Sweaty Betty!  Vest tops that hug, not cling, comfy trousers that are (finally) long enough to not flap around my ankles and jackets that actually look good - all in the most amazingly comfortable and flattering fabrics.  There is even a range designed by Stella McCartney to satisfy the fashionista.

Okay, so they're not the cheapest but boy do they do the job well - I am hooked!

My perfect fitness wear is flattering and stylish enough not to be too embarassed to pop to the supermarket afterwards - something I would be somewhat reluctant to do in a pastel leotard!

Amazingly soft fabric

Flattering fit and with a choice of lengths

So comfy and doesn't show up all the lumps and bumps

 

Happy Feet

Okay, so I saved quite a bit on the Firetrap jacket, so it was okay to splurge out on these beauties, wasn't it?

No, I didn't need them but how could I resist these Diesel Ask boots?  Something a bit different from the norm with their rubbed-silver leather.

I first spotted these in an advertisement feature in Glamour magazine a couple of months ago and have been desperate to own them.  Finally they appeared on the website so what could I do?  They arrived today and are every bit as gorgeous as I'd hoped.

January Sales - Could You Resist?

Even without braving the masses on the high street, I've managed to spy some awesome deals on the web.  A brief glimpse at the Firetrap website and I have an amazing slate-grey leather Inferno jacket on its way.

Reduced from £225 to £67.50 - result!  Not so happy to see my Ignite jacket reduced down to £90 though but sometimes you just can't wait for the sales, can you?!
