Business up top, party down below

I was working from home today and rule number one in such instances is: "Get dressed"

I have done the whole slobbing around in pyjamas thing and what I learned about that was that "not getting dressed makes me depressed". So I get up, put my face and clothes on and make a vat of coffee. Only then do I feel ready for the day.

At the same time I don't want to go all out and wear anything too exciting - and so we end up with something like the below. Don't worry, I didn't march around my house wearing my blazer - that was purposefully added for the Starbucks run and to provide a bit of comfort around the arse area as with shorts this short I fear over-exposure.

The only thing new here is the blouse - a little number from ASOS. I think I got this (and a few other items) because it reminded me of something that Mollie from The Saturdays would wear. To say I am now obsessed with her/them after being glued to Chasing the Saturdays would be an understatement. Their makeup, their hair, their clothes - that show is one big style perve.

Onto the photos!

Before I leave you tonight I wanted to add in a hair product recommendation. I have been meaning to mention this for a while but my bottle looked too used/manky so I waited until bottle number 2 was purchased!



This is by Phyto and is officially called Phytovolume actif. It is a volumising spray designed for fine hair and I think it's fantastic. If you apply liberally on damp hair, blast completely dry with a hairdryer you will then notice an increase in hair density. You hair feels full without any residue in the root.

Most Phyto products have a herbal smell and this is no different but it's not unpleasant and once you have obliterated it with the hairdry you can neither feel nor smell it. I still use dry shampoo to amp up the volume on occasion but for those of us with fine hair that can be easily weighed down with product, this is a must have first step in the styling routine!

You can buy Phyto in Boots (Dubai) and also on sites like Lookfantastic or Space NK - it costs around £15 (and will last about 4 months).

NB. My bottle is the old packaging - they have recently revamped their brand and the new style is a brushed metallic finish.

Hope you are having a great week!
