Fitness fashion

So you may have read that I recently started the gym. It's going really well actually and I'm loving it, even if I do feel like I'm dying the day after I've been with my personal trainer. 

Of course as I was going to the gym, this called for new gym clothes so heres a few things I bought.

I didn't want things specifically just only for the gym so I thought a couple of normal vest tops (in the size up just so they're a bit looser) would do the trick. I did look at special fitness ones, but my running vest top irritates the hell out of me as it just rises up with any movement. The grey speckled one was £4.99 from H&M and the green was reduced to £2 in NewLook's sale. I did buy a few more colours as well, even though I know nobody's looking at me I hate wearing the same things all the time!

I also bought leggings as I thought these would be much easier to move in, these blue ones were £3 from Primark, probably won't last all too long but ah well. I also got two plain black pairs from Select for £8. 

The sports bras were obviously an essential and I was surprised at how expensive some are! I got these two from SportsDirect for £7.99 each and considering I only go to the gym twice a week right now I have time to wash them in between sessions! After my first session with my trainer he recommended I buy weightlifting gloves as my hands weren't getting a very good grip on the weights and there's no way I want to be dropping one of those bad boys on my feet! I think these were only £6.50 and surprisingly were from Tesco!

I also got the bag from JDsports in their sale for about £6, I think. All in all I spent about £60 ish on everything I bought which isn't too bad! I don't get those girls that go into the gym, full face of make up and spend more time fussing over what they're wearing than actually exercising. So far I'm deciding to stick with it, up until my holiday in June at least!

December Favourites

Just jumping on the bandwagon of most of the other fashion bloggers out there and giving you all a peek at my December favourites. 

Jumper, H&M £14.99// Shirt, Missguided £24.99// Lush Comsetic warrior face mask £5.95// Garnier moisture match glow £2.98// Collection no clumps mascara £2.99// pink cami, Oasis £6// Accessorize elephant pendant £10// Messenger zip bag, Peacocks £10// Lord of Misrule bath bomb, Lush £3.50// Purple cami, George £2.25//

Had a bit of a haul last month, and they've quickly become some of the favourite products of the month. The shirt and leggings in particular are items I've worn countless times already! I couldn't find a link to the leggings online but they were £14.99 from H&M. I'm very pleased with the cami tops, they're slowly becoming my new go to tops for lounging around or base layers and they were both so cheap!

I was on the lookout for a small cross body bag just for my walk to nursery with Tayla in the week and this one is perfect for my gloves, purse, phone etc and was only £10!

The wrapped box was actually a Christmas present for my friend, I just featured it as it was pretty and also I love the actual gift. It's the Lush Lust perfume and is one of the nicest perfumes I have smelled, it stays on your clothes for ages as well so you barely need to spray any of it! 

This is the stock photo of both the face mask and the lord of misrule bath bomb. I've never tried the Cosmetic warrior mask before, it's supposed to be those who get quite a lot of spots and as my skin wasn't at it's best last month this was a great product for me. It's infused with garlic and honey and although it does smell a bit funky it works a treat! The Lord of misrule bath bomb is a new one from Lush and strangely it turns your bath purple! I did like it though and it didn't leave a stain which is always good. 

The no clumps mascara (as well as the smokey eye one featured in the Glossybox review for last month) is actually a really good one and at only £2.99 it's a great purchase! My all time favourite of the December buys was this cute little necklace from Accessorize. For something so dainty it's so detailed and well made, an excellent addition to my necklace collection!

What were some of your favourite December purchases?
