Ten top tips to dress for a first date.

Girls, we all know that feeling when you can't decide what to wear, especially when it's a First Date. Well do not fret, just follow these steps to feel fabulous on that date.

1. Be yourself - wear something that you would wear. Don't try and impress him with a look that just isn't you. You'll feel uncomfortable and awkward and that really won't help.

2. Make sure your outfit means that you can keep your dignity. Sit down in your outfit before you go out so you know you won't be exposing any part of your body accidentally!

3. Choose one part of your body that you are going to have on show. If your going to have your pins out then put your boobs away. Don't show the guy everything you've got in one go.

4. Dress accordingly for the date, venue and of course the weather. Even if you look super fit, the guy really wont appreciate having to get soaking because a coat just didn't go with your outfit!

5. If you are going to wear heels. You better be able to walk in them and make them last the whole night, hobbling in pain down the street is so not sexy.

6. Make sure you dress your age! If you're not 18 don't dress like you  are, likewise if you're 18 don't dress like you are 50!

7. Make sure your make is fresh and dewy rather than big smokey eyes. At least for the first couple of dates.

8.Underwear is so important and helps structure your entire outfit. Get a good bra and if your outfit is fitted invest in some hold in knickers. They do wonders - of course there is no reason for him to see these..... ever!

9. Make sure your handbag is big enough to fit everything you need in it. Let's not try to squeeze everything into a tiny clutch. There's nothing worse than taking something out and not being able to fit it back in. However don't turn up with something that looks like an overnight holdall.

10. Don't complicate your outfit with too much jewellery! Keep it simple.

We know we said it was top 10 list but we have one extra tip free of charge.....

Just remember - You are never fully dressed without a smile!

Leap Year

So it's a Leap year Girlies and we all know what that means? Well if you hadn't already been informed, once every four years it's up to all the lovely Ladies out there to get down on one knee and make an honest man of their boyfriends.
So do you think you could take the plunge and propose to your special guy??
I know I'm currently a single girl so I don't have to worry right now, however I don't actually think I would be able to do it!
It feels like since time began through family tradition and the eye of the media, it's always been a job that belonged to the gentleman. However I guess this is all a little out-dated and old fashioned!
Things are so different these days, women are encouraged to be independent and focus on their futures, whether you're in a relationship or not.
So why not?
 I think if you're in love and want it to last a lifetime, then I say go for it ! If the love is returned then of course it doesn't matter who does the deed, it was always on the cards!
Maybe when I meet Mr. Right it will be the perfect option for me, who knows ! At least I have the next four years to try and find him !

Afternoon Tea.

A spot of Afternoon Tea has to be one of the most delightful things you can do with all your Girly friends! Who wouldn't want to spend a blissful afternoon sipping Earl Grey from a delicate china tea up and nibbling on a fresh finger sandwich. It is probably the only time you will fill up on cucumber sandwiches and actually enjoy them.
It's so easy to chat and catch up on all the gossip while pouring another tea and spreading strawberry jam and cream across the fresh warm scones.
There's definitely a moment when your eyes are much bigger than your belly as you start to work your way through the plate of cakes and pastries ! Who could resist? They all look so tempting!
To round your afternoon off, you and your pals can take a walk around the grounds of which ever beautiful venue you have chosen.
It really is a perfectly relaxing day. Whether it's for a birthday or just a gossip, it's always nice to be the Ladies who lunch!
So call the girls, book a table, pour the tea and get chatting!

Would you really catch a grenade for me though Bruno?

"I would catch a Grenade for you."
Really - an actual GRENADE?

"Throw my head on a blade for you."
What and kill yourself - nice one Bruno!

"Jump in front of a train for you."
What are you Superman?

Just a few things that a clearly wrong with Bruno's song lyrics, every girl loves a romantic gesture but offering to die for me is taking it a little bit too far. I mean, if I want to get with you then I want you to hang around not constantly roll in front of cars for me.
I must point out that this songs foolish lyrics was brought to my attention by a male friend who declared that they were, and I quote "the stupidest lyrics of all time."

Saying that I still love singing it, so they can't be all that bad.

Although, I would like to send a little message to Bruno. If a girl isn't giving you anything it means she'd just not that into you, get yourself Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo's Book "He's just not that into you." The same applies for boys.

Putting the book to use....

So, I blogged about the book "He's just not that into you" and said that I was learning painfully just where I'd been going wrong.
I decided it was best to put what I had learned into practice straight away, and didn't waste anytime this Saturday in trying out Greg's tips.
Whilst out in my home town with old school friends, this boy (who was rather handsome) was chatting to me. He ended the converstaion with "Well I'm just sat over there with my friends, just letting you know because I probably wont see you again tonight." As he left my best friend urged me to go over and sit at his table and normally I would of done just that. This time however I heard Greg's voice tell me that if he was interested he would let me know.
With that in mind I carried on dancing and enjoying myself and sure enough an hour later he came back up to me to talk and we ended up swapping numbers! This NEVER happens to me normally, so it must be Greg's amazing advice!!!
GIRLS GO BUY THAT BOOK - IT'S AMAZING!!!
