I'm vain. I am. I try not to be but I can't help it. I think about my clothes, I worry about my hair and I'm sad if I clash. Until this weekend I'd thought that there was no occasion when one's shoe colour was totally inconsequential. As I helped out at a friend's running shoes shop I began to realise that, when it comes to trainers that are fit for purpose, there's nothing more annoying than somebody who wants a pink pair!
Now, as previously mentioned, I'm all about the matching outfit but my past runner-persona took offense when a would-be sauntered in, feigning interest in the right type of shoe, only to be swayed speedily by a splash of colour that didn't suit the look! Now come on, running's not about fashion, it merely facilitates a better overall look.
Fear not, my commitment to colour co-ordination was merely on sabbatical - a frightening and unsettling two days I can assure you.

Viva Las Vegas
After a busy 48 hours in Las Vegas, you'd think that I'd be able to conjur up much commenatary about the outfits I saw ( or lack there of) and the beautiful people out and about in a city that, very literally, never sleeps. I have many of those tales but it's my plane outfits that spring to mind as most newsworthy (if you can label it that) and concerning. To cut to the chase - leggings.
Yes, leggings are so comfy, they've become too comfy. Since becoming a staple of the female wardrobe over the past few years, I've finally realised / had to admit that they're making us ladies a bit lazy when it comes to style. No longer do we need to squeeze into our skinny jeans with relentless determination or stop eating cakes incase we have to buy a new pair. We've got the fall back of the stretchy, one size fits all leggings and we need to be careful. It won't be long before tailored trousers, fitted jeans and hotpants lose their appeal entirely and we become a nation of legging-wearing slobs. I'd be top of the guilty list.
