Dress Your Age?

Hi Everyone,

I stumbled across this article earlier, which asks the question, should you dress your age, meaning should you leave "younger" styles for the younger generation?

The article has been made public by Twiggy (aged 62), and discusses the fact that "dressing your age" is not the right way towards finding your own fashion style. Breaking the rules every once in a while is what we should all be doing. Fashion is about experimentation and confidence. According to Twiggy, if you decide to wear a bright red or purple colour every day, it will look good, as long as you show confidence in your style, which is the key to success.

Anyone will believe you look good, if you choose colours which suit you, and have the confidence to wear colours such as this:

River Island

How do we know which colours suit us? Well we can't, really. The best way, I find, to figure that out, is to go shopping with one of my best friends, and her for her honest opinion.

If they really care about you, they will tell you if something looks bad! The fact of the matter is, if you're not an expert on fashion, or you're just not sure, a second opinion can always help.

I don't usually trust sales advisers, as they want to sell you things, however a personal shopper is not a bad road to go down. They know what they are talking about, and they will pick out styles and colours which will really suit you - which is a great starting point for anybody.

What do you think, should you dress your age?

This is all from me today.

Jersey Boys - The Musical

Hi Everyone,

I've had a fairly good week - I went to see Jersey Boys, the musical, the other night, which I thought was pretty amazing.

For those of you who aren't aware of the musical, it is about Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. The entire show is about how the Four Seasons band was started, and how all members went through hardships, right through to a point where the band split up, and Frankie Valli became the only remaining member, thus forming "Franki Valli and the Four Seasons" with four other people.
The music is addictive, the actors are amazing, and the entire show has been put together and executed so smoothly, that it's impossible to be bored for even just a second.
If you are a theatre fanatic and love musicals - this is a must see! I loved it so much I'd happily go and see it again!

My favourite song from the musical was:

My Eyes Adored You - Jersey Boys in Concert

In terms of the rest of my week, I went for a Mexican meal the other night, with my boyfriend, which was pretty good - not as good as my all time favourite Mexican restaurant back home, but still pretty good!

Last weekend I stayed at my boyfriends parents house with him, and he showed me where he went to school, and all kinds of other places around the area he grew up in. It was pretty cool walking around and finding out some new things about him - I thoroughly enjoyed it. Another plus point is the fact that my sister currently lives near the same area, meaning I got to see her, and a few of her friends as well, and finally got to introduce my boyfriend to her.

That's all from me today.

Life Forms in Outer Space

Hi Everyone,

Today's post is about the past few days, and the possibility of life forms in outer space.

I had a long bank holiday weekend (Saturday through till Tuesday), last weekend, which was amazing. I went to Westfield in Shepherd's Bush on Saturday and bought a few gorgeous things, then I had a day to relax on Sunday, as my boyfriend returned from France that day.

On Monday we both went to Westfield in Stratford, which is absolutely massive! I bought a pair of wedges, which I love! On Tuesday, I was meant to enjoy some Jubilee celebrations but unfortunately got really ill, which is annoying of course, so I ended up spending the day in bed.

Other than that, I've been working as always, however did have to take the day off today, due to being ill.

I was having a look for some interesting articles earlier, and found something on Digg about famous UFO sightings. This leads me to my main topic of this post - Do you believe in UFOs?

I've always been intrigued by the possibility of another form of life existing somewhere in this universe. There is no doubt that it could be true, after all, a few years ago, bacteria from Mars had been found, proving the existence of other life forms.

Have you got any views about this?

As Always, Stay Tuned,

Summer, Sun and Maxi Dresses!

Hi Everyone,

it's finally warm, which means summer, sun and lots of Maxi Dresses! Here's what I've been up to in the last two weeks:

Mostly, I've been working, so nothing extremely interesting has happened, but on Friday this week, I had a really fun social at work. We all went for a picnic in the park, with lots of drinks, food and games. I really enjoyed getting to know everyone a little better outside of work, and am looking forward to more of the same experiences.
I recently got voted onto the company's social committee, along with two others. The three of us get to decide on what socials the company has, and when. I'm quite excited about this, as I love organising events and things like that.

Moving on, I've been going for a run with my colleagues every Wednesday for 3 weeks now, which has been great. I'm starting to build up endurance (and leg muscles!!)! I've forgotten how much I love running, but have started to run by myself as well. I've already managed to run 3 miles, which I know isn't that much, but I haven't been running in 5 years, so 3 miles after only 4 runs in the last 3 weeks is not too bad, I think.

I've decided to set aside a small chunk of my salary this month, for some serious shopping. I'm thinking of going shopping next week, as I really want a nice maxi dress. If anyone has any suggestions as to where I can find nice maxi dresses (which actually reach the floor!), please feel free to comment! - I found a gorgeous one last year and am gutted I didn't buy it, as I can't find anything near as nice now...

Prints and styles similar to the ones pictured below are what I'm looking for:

AX Paris Floral Maxi Dress

Glamorous Border Print Maxi Dress

Anyway, that's all from me today, hoping everyone is having a lovely, sunshine filled weekend!

Summer Fashion

Hi Everyone,

so the sun is finally out, and the short sleeved shirts and sunglasses have made an appearance.
I've been looking at the gorgeous summer fashion for this year, and am still looking for the perfect summer dress. Last year I was unable to find something because, for some reason, the browns and beige's did not really take my fancy.

This year, however, it's all colours, and bright colours at that, so inspiration is striking and I'm loving the different styles, meaning I will have a difficult time trying to decide on what I'd like to buy. Here are some examples of what I fancy:

New Look

H&M

Zara

The above three dresses are just some of the types of dresses I've been looking at, and really wanting to buy! I do actually have a dress which is pretty similar to the one by Zara, but I just love those types of dresses - they are so cute!

Anyway, this is all from me today, as it's time to enjoy the sun!

As Always, Stay Tuned!

Chilli Shots and Recent Occurrences

Hi Everyone,

So in recent occurrences, I went to Vodka Revolution's on Saturday, and drank a few chilli shots - those are really spicy! I decided to be "clever" and put one into my cocktail, thinking the spice would be masked by the cocktail....but no - my entire cocktail turned spicy. Needless to say, lesson learned!

Anyway, all in all it was a good night out, met some cool people and have decided to try and organise a lunch with a few of the girls I met - thought it would be good to just catch up with the girls, without the men around!

Anyway, today is a bank holiday in the fabulous land of the Brits, and I get to relax all day long whilst the boyfriend (who works in retail) is at work!

I've decided to start training for a 10k run with some colleagues at work. Some of them are run a 10k race very soon - I don't actually want to run that, but I do want to train with them so I can get fit and increase my exercise again. I actually stopped exercising for a while because I've been so tired from work, but now that I've settled into my routine, it's time to get back onto that horse because I do really want to lose some more weight.

It's only a short entry from me today, as I've not got too much inspiration going on today.

However just a quick note to those of you adding me on Google+ (see previous post) - I've had to change the name appearing on my profile as "anonymous" doesn't comply with Google policy, so I've chosen a pen name (Amy Mines) which is currently being reviewed by Google. Just letting you know so there's no confusion when adding me! :)
