Freddy WR.UP®*

29th May 2019

Would you like a pair of jeans that can make you feel safe and look good? Freddy has designed a special pair of patented trousers which enhance the female figure with a shaping effect. Maybe you’re wondering: How does WR.UP® work? 

High Quality for your Comfort 

We guarantee that there are no magic tricks! The answer is actually quite simple. The trousers patented by Freddy, because of the high-quality material, the panels and the seams positioned strategically. This blend guarantees complete harmony for you and your hips. 

The Freddy WR.UP® trousers are different and unique from any other pair of trousers in the wardrobe: Freddy’s clothing is elastic, comfortable, durable and perfect for any occasion and any time of day. WR.UP® technology has been designed to help her enhance her body and feel more feminine and sexy at the same time. Freddy has developed a sporty version of the WR.UP®. Each exercise can evolve into a work of art that allows you to fully appreciate yourself in everyday sports life, without ever abandoning your femininity. WR.UP® sport exists for all tastes: from darker or lighter jeggings to larger and wider jeggings, from skinny stretch cotton or jersey to clothes suitable for the gym. 

These Pants fit like a Second Skin

The delicate second skin effect of Freddy WR.UP® perfectly shapes the waist, thighs and hips thanks to the high quality of the fabric that reinforces in strategic positions. These strategically placed reinforcements allow the Freddy WR.UP® to have such a beautiful and irreplaceable effect: the bi-elastic jersey not only determines the shape, but also the B-side and encloses you like a second skin, you will not even realize that you are wearing them!  Perfecting perfection takes shape with WR.UP® by holding the pants up and in place thanks to a special silicone band. Now, your body is a work of art!

The patented WR.UP® technology is the result of Italian research that led to the development of this technology. Thanks to this modern design, Freddy uses the highest quality materials and silicone to enhance your curves in a completely natural way. The silicone band is placed around the waist and will help sculpt and shape the pattern, keeping the pants in an upright position. The belt under the buttock, together with the particular stitching and shape of the trousers, will define and lift them, enhancing your sensual femininity.

The extraordinary Freddy WR.UP® trousers are elastic, comfortable, durable and available in 4 versions: low, regular, medium and high. You can choose the perfect pants for yourself, and wear them as if they were tights, unrolling them along your legs naturally.

Another Day, Another Wish List

25th May 2019

I’ve had so many good intentions for blogging lately, determined to get back at it and start sharing more of what I love/wear/do/buy, and then life happens and before you know it over a week has passed since I last had a chance to put anything down on screen, and when I do all I can muster is another wish list.

Nothing wrong with wish lists of course, and mine is seemingly endless at the moment despite quite a large amount of retail therapy. It’s only 6 days now until we escape on our American Road Trip Adventure so every spare penny has been going towards that, hopefully when I’m back I’ll have some spare cash once more and be able to shop away the inevitable post-holiday blues…and what will I be buying? Hopefully some of the below!

I’m still obsessing over Angel Eye, although this time it’s a more casual number that’s caught my eye. This is the kind of dress I’m loving for every day wear right now, and at £30.00 it’s incredibly reasonable.
This dress and I would sadly never work out. I am a spiller and I would place money on me spilling something over an all white ensemble within seconds. Still, I couldn’t not include this dress from Joy; so simple and yet so covetable with that sleeve detail!
I’ve seen this Miss Selfridge dress* all over social media lately. I’m not normally one to jump on the hype bandwagon but I make exception for this beauty (currently discounted too!)
Another Miss Selfridge beauty* here, also discounted to just £28, my resolve not to shop is seriously wavering over this one.
This Disney x Coach hoodie is pretty much sold out everywhere, although Very have a couple of sizes in stock. It’s just as well really as I cannot drop £195 on a hoodie no matter how adorable it is, but I am seriously coveting this.
It’s clearly a week for dresses, and I couldn’t not include this delight from Yumi. A long time favourite brand of mine and this little show stopper should explain exactly why I love them.

What have you been buying, or spying lately? And what stores do I need to hit up in the USA?

Utility

16th May 2019

Now I’m a bit older, and spend more time in work than I do anywhere else I don’t follow the trends anywhere near as much as I used to. There is however, one trend this season that you cannot fail to miss, and it’s one that I have fallen head over heels for; utility.

Utility Skirtfrom ASOS

I went on a bit of a shopping spree recently thanks to turning 32 and being granted the gift of money to spend entirely on myself, on a new wardrobe to replace the clothes I’ve outgrown. I spent a good long while debating this skirt- I never go for anything straight cut as I just don’t think it suits me, and I wasn’t sure about the belt, but I decided to go for it on the basis it could always be returned.

As it happens this was one of the only items I ended up keeping from my ASOS haul, the things I thought I’d love went back and I ended up keeping this wild card of a purchase.

Rather than making me feel fat and frumpy this skirt actually makes me feel ok about myself. Despite being a more practical piece the cut still manages to make me feel feminine, and whilst paired with a simple camisole and some heels here it also lends itself wonderfully to a slogan tee and some converse.

Which trends are you loving this season? I’m mostly oblivious to them these days, but after the success of the utility trend experiment I am open branching out more.

Is it actually Spring yet?

27th March 2019
How gorgeous is the weather right now guys? I can’t help but feel cautiously optimistic that Spring has sprung, although having lived in this country for the best part of 32 years now I know it could all change by tea time.

I’ve been sat on these photos for a while, unsure if could bring myself to post them. I appear to have found myself in hyper self critical mode again, and when I’m not overthinking every inch of my body my thoughts have turned to facial expression, my hair, my everything.

So what’s finally made me do it? Well, to be honest I just wanted to post something that wasn’t a review and reflects what I’ve been wearing lately. I picked up this dress on ASOS a few weeks ago whilst on a desperate mission for some new work clothes; all of sudden it felt like everything I owned was too tight and that I had gone up three sizes overnight. Turns out that wasn’t the case, but it’s scary how I could physically feel a difference that wasn’t there. Eating disorder recovery isn’t all about re-discovering food and living happily ever after; even being so close to the finish line it’s amazing what anorexia can make you believe.

I ended up buying two dresses from the Vero Moda brand and I think they might be my new go-to. They both fitted exactly as I needed them too (skimming over my perceived bloated belly) whilst still looking smart- this poppy printed version can easily be dressed up for an evening too, and is perfect for this between seasons kind of dressing.
I’m currently signed off work for a week with a rather nasty flare of sciatica, the likes of which I haven’t had since pre back surgery. It’s not much fun and seems to have been made that much worse by the fact I’m bloody terrified that the enforced inactivity might make me balloon further.

I’m finding recovery almost impossible to fathom at the moment. I’ve come so far but I truly feel like overcoming these last hurdles might break me.
On the flip side to that, I’m using all of my mental and physical capacity to push on through; with the holiday of a lifetime coming up soon and so many exciting plans for after that I know I can’t afford to give up.

I’ll always be able to find new clothes, like this dress to flatter and conceal a body I am not yet used to and not quite ready to love. You can’t buy true health though, nor the things that achieving it will bring.

I have no idea where all of this mental overspill has come from, but hey, I have a new dress and I love it- admire away and feel free to have skipped the babble!

Cat Lady Fashion feat. Oasis

27th February 2019
A few days ago I posted a spring dress wish list and mentioned that I’d re-discovered the high street hero that is Oasis. They’d somehow slipped off of my radar for a while but a month or so ago a fellow crazy cat lady at work mentioned they had some fabulous feline themed pieces in store, and with a shopping tripped planned with my Mum that weekend it seemed only right that I pay them a visit.
It was a tough call between this dress and this jumper but after trying both on it was swiftly decided that it was the skater dress that was coming home with me.
This dress is just part of a partnership with the animal charity Blue Cross which provides support for pets, and pet owners in need, ensuring they can access affordable veterinary care and finds homes for abandoned animals. I could quite easily have taken everything home as I had forgotten just how well Oasis clothes fit and how good quality they are.
It’s not just this collection that has caught my eye either. Oasis are currently killing it with their new arrivals and it’s seriously paining me that I can’t afford to go on a wild spending spree (especially as they are running 25% off some of their seasonal styles at the moment).

For now I’ll just enjoy my latest addition to my ever growing cat themed clothing collection. Is being the wrong side of 30 a bit old for this kind of novelty print? Not a chance…not in my book anyway…the more cats the better for this lady.
