Glasgow bound...

So my long weekend has just begun, I am on route to Glasgow, I had to change at Manchester Picadilly, then Preston and will get to Glasgow for 8pm, providing there are no delays! So for those of you wondering why I am going to Glasgow, well it is because I have a spot on The Weakest Link, for those of you who know me you will find this pure comedy gold, no doubt I will get voted off first round if not definetly after a couple of rounds!!!

After limitless restrictions on what you can take to wear - no black, no red, no heels (basically nothing in my wardrobe), I overcame the hardest styling mission of my life and decided on 4 outfits which they will pick from tomorrow, my suitcase contains, my colour pop wedges, a pink sequin top and denim shorts, a bright blue dress, a coral top which would have looked a-maze-ing with the purple skirt that I planned wearing it with, however that is sadly ruined, something I am very upset about today!! I have also packed my wet look leggings and my japenese print oversized blouse....but they pick your outfit, I do not remember a time when someone has ever picked an outfit for me to wear, this is something I am slightly dreading! At least they are choosing from my choices!!

However, if for some reason I get my questions right and people keep me in, I would love to win the prize money, I could do so much more with a couple of grand than many on the show I reckon, I'd pay off, then cancel, yes cancel my credit card - I do not want it any more! I'd go to Ibiza for the closing parties, I definetly deserve a holiday this year, well a sun holiday, it's been too long -2007 to be exact! I need to get myself on a sunlounger next to a pool for 7-10 days!!!!!

This weekend I am away filming I am missing a mah-jor fundraising day at Topshop, raising money for the Jemma & Jacob fund, now if you don't work at Topshop you won't know the tragic story, but Jemma, a gorgeous 21 year old girl sadly died a few months ago of cervical cancer, she was pregnant and gave birth to a beautiful baby boy Jacob who we are raising money for at work...well if I somehow manage to survive the wrath of Anne and win The Weakest Link I will donate a percentage of my prize fund to this amazing cause, as Jemma was a gorgeous girl who was a truely amazing person and touched a lot of lives.

Live everyday to the max you never know when it's your turn to go.

I WON

I actually did it, I came second place in June's River Island most stylish, I won £150 of vouchers that I am currently enjoying spending. Thank you if you were one of the people who voted!

I guess you are wondering what I have spent my vouchers on, well who knew spending £150 is so difficult, I'm being savvy and wise, I bought a gorgeous silk feel longline white oversized blazer, from £50 to £20 in the sale...however I have now returned it as everytime I tried it on I felt like an 80s throwback or like I was wearing a labcoat....not the look I was going for.

I have however had some a-mazing buys, a gorgeous pair of sparkly sequin hotpants and THE and I mean THE mother of all feather earrings, turquoise, gorgeous and o so long! I just hope they bring them out in another colour -maybe an orangy/brown or purple.





With the rest of the vouchers I still have £80 I am thinking of getting a winter coat, I know it's only July and people think it's crazy to buy a coat in the height of summer, but trust me I have missed out on some amazing coats in the past for this reason and i won't be doing it this year! However who knows where I will find the perfect one...watch this space.

Peace, love & luck
