"What on earth are they?" I heard you say. Reebok EasyTone trainers, silly! :P Haven't you seen any of the adverts? If not, shame on you! 

"Built on Reebok’s patented muscle-toning sole technology, the EasyTone Trend creates a slight instability, much like walking on sand, which encourages increased muscle activation in three key areas of the leg: the gluteus maximus, hamstrings and calves. Up to 28%, in fact.

* EasyTone balance pod technology encourages up to 11% more toning in the hamstrings and calves, and up to 28% in the glutes
* Full-grain leather/mesh upper for comfort, support and durability"

Anything that tones my legs and bum with minimum effort gets my vote and after seeing the ad I was sold! Now I'll admit I'm a bit (ok, very) lazy when it comes to exercising. This is mainly because I get cramps in my tootsies every 5 minutes! Anyone else suffer these? It's such a pain I tell thee!!

Now, I've only worn these for a week whilst on my way to work (not in the office, obviously), shopping, usual errands and just anywhere I know I will be walking.

I think it is too early to say whether it works or not, but on day 5, I woke up to find my hamstrings and calves were slightly aching. surely it must be doing something, right?

ANYWAY, I will be reporting back on Week 6 with a full-on review and let you know the full deets.

Reebok EasyTone come in trainers and flip flops. Prices range from £55 - £90.

P.S - They look sexy with leggings.

Last year some time I did a bad thing. A real bad thing. I got suckered into buying some limited edition MAC products off the back of all the usual hype. I don't usually do that, so I have no idea what possessed me to buy them (probably the beauty bloggers convinced me!)

Anyway, after all the buzz settled down and the rush faded away I realised that they weren't really all that great and were just "Okay". I stashed them away with the rest of my old, abandoned stuff and left them to gather dust.

Recently I'd been finding myself a bit bored of make-up so I was looking through my box of old, abandoned stuff and remembered my limited edition MAC pigments!

Ever since I saw Lollipop26's post on the peachy nude colour she bought from Urban Outfitters, I have been longing for it. I dashed to my local Urban Outfitters and sadly, they'd sold out. How gutted was I? Very!

Few weeks later, I came across a post from the lovely Zara's on a peachy nude colour she purchased from River Island (Yes! River Island sell Models Own!). It looked gorgeous! And looked similar to the one Lollipop26 had.

In my rooooom!
 

It comes up as a creamy peachy nude and I loves it! It applied non streaky too which is a problem I've been having with light nail coloured polishes. I've had this on for about 3 days now, no chipping in sight! 2 coats are enough to make it show up completely opaque.

Ever since I got back from India, make-up has taken a bit of a back seat to fashion. I think the main reason is that I haven't been 'wowed' by much. On the other hand, fashion has most definitely "wowed" me! 

One thing I noticed in particular was a lot of talk about the return of the crop top. So I browsed around and found myself liking a few of the new wave of crop tops that just screamed "Summer!" 

Whether it's floral or embellished, I love them all, and there's something for everyone. 

Here's my Outfit of the day: 

Crop top - Topshop

Basic bodycon dress - Primark

Leggings - Primark

Pearl chain flat shoes - Topshop

Pearl bracelet - Dorothy Perkins

Necklace - Muse 

And there you have it! 

Have you been sporting a crop top lately? How do you wear it? Where have you bought yours from?

So around Christmas time, I was rummaging through my lipstick collection. I found nudes, mauves, corals and pinks.Then it struck me. What's missing from my collection? RED! Why do I have no red?! The first lipstick my mum ever owned was a red, and she's not even into the whole make up thing! 

I made it my personal mission to buy a big, bold red lipstick. I never thought I'd actually wear a red much, just experiment at home. I'd heard a lot about how cheap NYX are, so I thought I'd give them a whirl. I bought one of their Round lipsticks in "Snow White" for around $2 from Cherry Culture (20% off at the time - thanks to Lipglossiping for the tip-off!)

As you can see, it's a perfect Crimson Red. I tried it on in the comfort of my own home on a lazy sunday, and I was shocked!

Hello big spot!
 

It actually looked okay! Maybe it sounds silly, but I felt confident and glamourous! It's amazing how something like this can brighten up such a dull, miserable day!

What do you guys think? Should I venture outside with it? Do you wear reds? Are you confident enough to wear it outside?

I am a sucker for jewellery. But not just any kind of jewellery. It has to be some sort of object. It has to be everyday objects like a chain with a birdcage attached to it. Or a ring with a teacup & saucer on it! I don't tend to go for the "normal" sort of jewellery. To me, most jewellery is very samey. Unless it has something unexpected in it. So here are my March favourites:

A cute teacup & saucer with a rabbit and a silver heart. Obvs inspired by Alice in Wonderland. I have been absolutely loving the whole Alice in Wonderland theme that's been going around! It seems to have inspired designers of fashion and jewellery to come up with some fantastic ideas.

As soon as I spotted this in the shop, I had to have it. A long faux pearl chain with a carousel attached to it. The ickle horses actually move around by itself!

And last but certainly not least, a rustic looking chain with a set of keys. Peace, Love and Hope seems to be about a lot on jewellery recently but most of it looks a bit tacky. When I saw this, I hurtled straight to the counter, knocking over several old ladies and pushchairs on the way... Ok, so I never really knocked anyone over, but I would have!

All these necklaces were purchased from my favourite shop of all time - yep, it's Topshop. They have a high stock turnover so there is always something new in every week. And the jewellery is a bit different, at least some of it anyway. Just keep your eyes peeled.

I'll probably be doing a few more of these posts in the near future, as jewellery is fast becoming my new obsession!

My latest obsession has been pale, pastel sort of shades for the nails. And as soon as I saw Revlon's Lilac pastelle in my local superdrug, I was sold! As I picked it up, I noticed they also had a minty shade called "minted" which is part of the Spring/Summer collection. What was even better was when I saw a sign above the nail polishes; "2 Revlon nail polishes for £8". Woot! Obvs I bought both of them.

Revlon's "Lilac Pastelle" (Left) & "Minted" (Right)

As you can tell from the picture above, they look sooo pretty and springy!

I've actually got "Lilac Pastelle" on my nails right now.

"Lilac Pastelle"

Such a gorgeous pastel lilac. But let me tell you, it was a PAIN to apply. Many a times it turned out streaky. But finally I managed to make it "work". The consistency is quite runny, so you have to apply a thin layer which looks transparent once it's dried. However it doesn't take too long to dry, so apply 2 more thin layers and it's completely opaque! I've had this on for about 3 days now and not a single bit of chipping in sight, impressive!

I did spot Revlon's "Coral Reef" & "Peach Petal" lipglosses in Superdrug but resisted purchasing. I am now longing for them. Someone please tell me they're not worth it?!
