Sneak Peek: The 6 biggest players

The moodboard

Inspired by the Olympics and Paralympics this summer I knocked together a fashion athletics style shoot for the Now readers by celebrating the '6 biggest players'.

Think sports inspired fashion legends, knockout pleats, sexy netting and body hugging body-con.

Come shoot day I was rolling around the studio doing my styling thing.

It took one day of prop searching to pull this story together

Mug Alert

After some present inspiration? Then feast your Tuesday morning peepers on McLaggan Smith Mugs.

I picked up the design on the left for my coffee loving man and the cute kitten mug for myself.

If you can't find the cup of your choice (I'd be hugely surprised) then you can specially commission a mug for that personal touch.

I've spent hours browsing the quirky, cute and down-right funny slogans - see some of my favs below.

All mugs cost roughly around eight quid and it's an extra fiver to get them personalised. Good huh?

I'm back!

I feel like a naughty school girl who's seriously fell behind with her homework and should be on detention for a week. Why? Because  I haven't posted a blog in 5 weeks and 3 days.

It's confirmed I'm officially the worst fashion/lifestyle/ health blogger.

My lack of blogging could be down to the fact that over the past 5 weeks and 3 days, I've managed to fit in a work trip to Portugal, a holiday to Italy, avid following of the Olympics, various weekends away, plus a long hard working week in NYC.

So I think it would be fair to say I've been more than busy.

However all of the above activities does mean I have some amazing content to update you with over the next coming weeks, forgiven?

Hey ho, let's move on.

Hello handsome

How hot is Usain Bolt?

He caught my interest when I learned that he eats chicken nuggets in-between races, next he was winking at me at the 100m starting line (through the TV of course), then his appearance on Jonathan Ross last night had me in fits of flirty giggles.

What has this man got going that Colin Farrell hasn't?

Maybe his three gold medals, the fact that he didn't seem to break into a sweat as he practically swaggered over the 100m finish line.

Or simply being the fastest man alive is more than enough to keep us ladies interested...

Either one, I say bring on Rio 2016.
