Hungover = Meat Market

I'm hungover.

Power eggs will not suffice today.

Today is all about the new burger joint in town, Meat Market.

Being the sister restaurant to the famed Meat Liquor, I shall expect to feed my face with greasy, sloppy, salty, cheese sodden beef burgers.

Hell to the yes.

Me with my first ever Meat Liquor burger. Special.

Hungry Stylist: Power Breakfast

 I've tried enough fad diets to know that they're depressing and never have long-lasting results.

So now, when I want to give my diet a kick up the wobbly booty I eat sensible, healthy food.

This week I've been spoiling my body with this delicious, easy and healthy breakfast.

At 230 calories you can't really knock it.

Yes that is hot water with lemon. And yes I am a health geek.

There I said it.

Stylish Spinach Scrambled eggs with Portobello mushroom

Ingredients
1 Portobello mushroom, chopped
1/2 tsp Coconut Oil
Handful of spinach
2 free range eggs

Instructions
1. Pop the coconut oil into a non-stick pan. Add the chopped up mushroom and spinach.
2. Whisk eggs, add S&P
3. Slide into the pan and scramble.
4. If you're a carb fiend then add a slice of wholemeal toast with a slick of organic butter or coconut butter.

Shock! Victoria Beckham does track pants

Designed not worn them.

That's one thing we will never see; the queen of heels slobbing out in David's trackies.

I bet she does though.

Anyway she's designed some track pants for her Denim range and they've already sold out.

That's a trend if I've ever heard of one.

Dig out the boys marl grey trackie bottoms, team with skinny silk vest and metallic wedge sport boot and you'll be miles ahead of the fash pack.

Or just look at them here

In Oxford I mostly...

...ate dessert first.
Baklava at La Croissanterie

....tried (my very hardest) to enjoy an Indian art exhibition.

Visions of Mughal India at Ashmolean Musuem
The boyfriend was in his element, I was not.

However, I could appreciate the colour, texture and teeny tiny details in the paintings that were produced, like a zillion years ago.


... fed my face with good Italian food.

Jamie's Italian on George St

We drank Prosecco and house wine out of cartons.

We ate prosciutto ham, pear and rocket salad followed by garlicky prawn linguine (me) and lamb meatball pappardelle (him).

We stank of garlic.


.... fitted in like a student, in a shirt dress and tweed coat.


Coat: New Look,  Shirt dress: £30 River Island, Boots: Schuh, Sunglasses: £120 Rayban, Scarf £6 Primark


.... got wet in April showers, ate more, drank more and left Oxford happy and sleepy.


Next stop Cambridge.

Well done London marathon runners!


I'm sure you're all walking like John Wayne today.

But at least you didn't have to run in heels... or did you?

How I'd Wear it: Colour block maxi skirt

A maxi suits all shapes and sizes.

Firstly, keep it cool with a grungy leather jacket.

Secondly, keep in with the brights and clash with vibrant yellow shades. My motto the brighter the better.

Thirdly, I would personally wear heels as otherwise it would be trailing along the floor.
 

Skirt £29.99 Mango
Jacket £42 Dorothy Perkins

Loving: Pick up some hips at Zara

I don't need help in the hip area.

I've been blessed with one meaty derriére and ahem, shapely hips.

But for you skinny minnies you can pick up hips for £49.99 and nail the peplum trend at the same time.

Well done Zara.

Nailed it: Colour tip from Kelly Osbourne

I took inspiration from Kelly's new hair colour after she Instagramed her hair dye.

I refuse to go as far as dyeing my locks neon lavender, but I will paint my nails ultra violet.

Thanks Kel.

Happy Anniversary Mr Louboutin

talking about men.”- Christian Louboutin

Little Miss Selfridge

TOWIE's Little Miss Lydia can't resist a bit of Miss Selfridge.

I spotted the star wearing head to toe of the Designed by Collection for Miss Selfridge on Sunday's episode.

Don't you think it has a designer feel to it?

Wearing: Sweet Style

Sweet, sugary shades are this season's... blah blah blah.

Enough with the trend report.

Forget Louis Vuitton, I'm taking my pastel inspiration from Woolworths Pick 'n' Mix.

Did you know that bubble-gum bottles are highly addictive and highly cool?

River Island knows it. Topshop knows it. I know it.

FYI the 'fashion' term is Space-Dye.

Pretty Prints Please, Oasis.




The Oasis S/S collection has outdone all previous collections twice over. 

I know so, as I pretty much wanted everything displayed in-store.

Same goes for the campaign shots.

Pretty, cool, sexy, feminine and girly. Amazing. 

I also have model hair and make-up envy. Peachy.

Do you like the scarf print dress I bought from there recently?

WET-À-PORTER

It's raining; it's pouring.
The old man is snoring.
He went to bed and bumped his head,
And he couldn't get up in the morning. [3]

If only we could stay in bed with a small bump on our head, spesh when it's raining ridiculously all week.

Maybe these Moschino Cheap and Chic WET-À-PORTER wellies could tempt you out of bed or at least a morning stretch to grab your iPad?

Exclusive to...you guessed it, NET-À-PORTER.com these fun wellies cost £125.

Ok back to bed it is.

Wearing: Would you like to supersize? Yes please.

If it's bigger than your laptop (I'm not talking Notebook size) then you're onto a good trend.

I felt like I was posing with a work portfolio but who cares when you can squeeze in the contents of your dressing table...

Would you believe my trainers are in there?

Pinterest

I blame my GBF for my sudden Pinterest obsession.

I sneaked a peek at his posh knockers and the next minute you know it I'm hooked.

It's therapeutic.

There's certainly something calming about styling my future dream home, I feel like I somehow own it all.

Don't knock it until you've tried it.

There's no place like Zara home

New Shoes

I bought new shoes at the weekend and I feel rather smug with my purchases.

I first saw the deck shoes in Elle magazine and I'd previously spotted the sexy faux-snakeskin points in-store one week ago.

Originally I thought £75 was steep for the snakies, but the new 30 quid sale price definitely made all the difference.

FYI, both pairs from River Island.
