For awhile now I've grown apart from the blogging world. I have just lost the love for it. My life is so full right now that I don't have the time to sit down and write something for you guys. And I want my posts to mean something and I don't want to write just for the sake of it. But I do love sharing with you guys... I love sharing what I've done, what I'm wearing and what I think is beautiful in this world. So I've decided (thanks to a very helpful word from a friend) to change my outlet... Move to somewhere far more visual, far more impacting on the eye, somewhere where I can post what inspires me without having to give a justification, or a synopsis or a witty anecdote (I love to read them but now hate writing them myself).<br />
<br />
So ladies and gentlemen I am moving to <a href="http://rosetinteduncertainty.tumblr.com/">Tumblr</a>. If you wish to continue to follow me and have a gander now and again please do! It'll be the same as before (food, fashion frolicking and design) but just a more visual approach to keep up with this life of mine that is pressing ever forward. I hope to put more of my own photography and design up there and finally get back to outfit posts (though they may seem weird on tumblr).<br />
<br />
Thanks to all of you for reading this blog, you have truly touched my heart with your love of the blog and made me feel worthy to blog. And I hope you will visit the new site from time to time. I will always be there, posting what inspires me and what hopefully engages you.<br />
<br />
See you on the other side...<br />

<br />
Ok my first proper post in awhile... Forgive me, I need to get back into the swing of things. Well my camera is on the fritz so the next few posts will be items like this and probably so dodgy iPhone snaps. Enjoy!<br />
<br />
Anyway, getting into the car the past few days my poor hands have been subjected to frozen steering wheels and icy breezes. I know it's the first of November now so I should be expecting that but the truth is that I haven't thought to buy gloves yet. (I need to rectify that this weekend on my Saturday ramble with my ma.) I did a little online browsing to find some inspiration and I feel I've found a pair for the three sides of my style... Well the three sides that I'm aware of anyway.<br />
<br />
Little Princess: A side I don't show a whole lot of but she comes out in my accessories and in my love of sparkles and bows. This pair are from the Etsy shop <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/163414199/pink-ruffle-gloves-pink-knit-gloves-with?ref=sr_gallery_16&ga_search_query=gloves&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=GB&ga_search_type=all&ga_facet=gloves">Gertie Baxter</a> and come in a few colours but I'm of the opinion if you're gonna go girly you need to go the whole hog. If I had these I would be pairing them with a navy full skirted coat, a fur collar and nude fishnets.<br />
<br />
Mature Elegance: I swear I'm elegant (SERIOUSLY!). Well even if I have the grace of a baby elephant I still want to look sleek. These gloves are from Echo at <a href="http://www.modcloth.com/">Modcloth</a>. What I love about them is the rich teal colour and then the subtle trim. Adding a bit of spice without looking over the top. I'd pair these with a fur swing coat, emerald earrings and black stilettos.<br />
<br />
Chic Wanderer: This is me most of the time, messy and slightly confused but still tries to make the effort. I think it works! Well the perfect pair of gloves for this side of me is a pair of mittens from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/bonzie.crotty?fref=ts">Bonzie</a>. Snuggly and covered in the prettiest bits the world has to offer! Would look amazing with an oversized coat and some leather ankle boots.<br />
<br />
So there you have it! I'll probably end up buying a cheapo pair from Penneys (rent and the commute are taking all my money!) But if I had a choice it would be one or all of these babies!rhonabethginnyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06805009570414640872noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319451053491723406.post-87384834906810371942013-10-11T05:35:00.002-07:002013-10-11T05:35:55.321-07:00I'm back...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Well it's been awhile... I apologise for my insanely lengthy absence. Work commitments and a long commute forced me into blog hiding for a few months... But now I'm back!<br />
<br />
I have moved closer to work and am finally living with the boyfriend! I have a fast internet connection, a whole extra hour in my day and a passion to blog, there is no stopping me! I also want to start blogging about more than just fashion, I want to blog about food and interior design and life and art and design and whatever else strikes my fancy.<br />
<br />
Hope you don't mind the change up and I hope I haven't lost too many of you.<br />

A quick one for ye...<br />
<br />
So as you all know I am heading to the sunny island of Tenerife in August. And I have been slowly buying the few key pieces I need. You know the ones, the perfect flat sandals, the white linen dress, the comfortable (yet cool) shorts, the perfect beach cover up. And of course the perfect swimwear. This is easy elimination for me. Tankinis and bikinis are a complete no go area for this lady. I would be far too conscious of my belly. So it simply has to be a swimsuit. The question is though which swimsuit? I have narrowed it down to these final three from Next. All have padding/support for the bosom (a MUST) and all are in the same price bracket (literally euros between them). I love all three and think they'd all be flattering but I just can't bring myself to settle on one (and I am not buying two because I already have one at home).<br />
<br />
Now this swimsuit will be the 'lounging by the pool and I want my boyfriend to not stop looking at me' as opposed to the 'surfing, swimming, let's go find some caves' swimsuit (I already have that one – with good dependable straps). So really this swimsuit will need to be simply gorgeous and flattering yet still good enough for a quick dip in the pool. Ladies (and gents if you're out there) which would you put on this body of mine? I think I may also ask my fella but it's good to get a second opinion!rhonabethginnyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06805009570414640872noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319451053491723406.post-45282081626953684272013-06-20T03:36:00.001-07:002013-06-20T03:36:24.533-07:00the overcoat...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I've mentioned before that I have an incredibly talented best buddy who studied costume design... If you haven't heard, I do and she is! Her name is Christina Byrne and here is her final piece for her final year. I thought I'd share it with you because the costumes are beyond beautiful. The idea was simple, the story of a man and his overcoat. Pained by having a shabby coat (all he can afford in cold pre-revolution Russia) he dreams of the perfect coat. As I said the idea is simple but the execution is perfect, the visualisation is superb and the detailing is divine. I particularly love the outfit of the tailor's wife, (the tailor is a drunken fool who can't do anything - she's the real hero!) the edwardian/scout look really is quite divine!<br />
<br />
There really isn't much more to say except enjoy the images and look her up on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Christina-Byrne-Costume-Design/216002048478492?fref=ts">facebook</a> which she has shamefully left un-updated in about a year. But that will be rectified soon!<br />

These were taken last week but only now do I have time to put them up... My life is too busy and not in the good way. Anyway! So I threw this outfit on one morning while rushing to get ready for the day, probably too casual for most places of work but perfectly suitable for the production section where I work. Didn't think I looked all that fresh but I was inundated with compliments (for my hat in particular), my boss told me I had seriously raised the style stakes in the office and one colleague even told me I looked cool... So cool that she sang about it (while in the kitchen-it was kind of epic). Just goes to show the littlest details grab peoples attention. Would I have gotten a single comment if I was sans hat? Who knows? I did feel pretty cool though. And I think it showed. I may have had a bit of a swagger, a wee bit of a strut. Can't be helped really...<br />

Is that sunshine I see outside... Probably not but I'm going to pretend it is. I can actually feel the heat on my back as I type this. So.... as we head into summer I realised that after my weight loss (about 18 pounds and counting!) I don't have loads of great casual pieces. I need to get a few pieces to tide me over... And of course a few new accessories to jazz up what I already own (and what fits me again.) These pieces are but a few things I want to get for myself (I'm also getting my talented friend to make me a dress.) I also need to invest in shorts but I haven't found the perfect pair yet.<br />

I really have no intention of wearing these in Ireland. Unless miraculously the sun decides to get off his arse and heat this island up a bit. No, these shoes are ear marked for a little holiday I'm taking in August. A holiday to the island of Tenerife. To say I'm excited is honestly an understatement. I haven't been on a sun holiday since I was ten. That is no word of a lie... AND it's my first holiday with my fella. I know.... It's taken us seven years to go on one but we finally have the funds to do so.<br />
<br />
So back to the shoes... I'm not really planning on bringing a lot of heels. Maybe just one staple pair. I want to be able to walk and dance and run around this little island and I feel/know that heels (even though they would look better) wouldn't be as comfortable and I just would like to completely relax. But that doesn't mean I can't look my best. So I have picked out two very interesting pairs of sandals from Zara (oh amazing Zara!) One for the day and one for the night but they'd easily cross over. I'm already planning outfits for both! The tribal ones will look great with khaki shorts, band tees and possibly a black jumpsuit while the blue ones will be divine with long floaty maxis and short satin dresses.<br />
<br />

I have been toying with this idea for a long while... My hair has been pretty much the same for the past<br />
six years. Just longer than shoulder length with layers. The layers were to give body and the only reason it was that length was because anytime I got it long enough my hairdresser would tell me it's too dry and chop it all off again. But not this time! Oh no! This summer I am going have free flowing locks that I can tie in plaits, low lying buns or simply let hang in a careless fashion. Gosh I love carefree hair!<br />
<br />
When I was younger (around 15) I had long, glossy hair that fell into hippie style ringlets. I saw a photo of it recently (I was holding up my unamused cat and grinning from ear to ear) and I longed for that hair again. I want to say good bye to my layers and let my hair grow down past my eh chest area... I'm going to get my mum to trim a tiny bit every so often and keep it nice and conditioned and hope for the best. My only issue is that I have quite fine hair so I am hoping that the regular mini trim will encourage growth and thickness (or is that just a myth).<br />
<br />
Hopefully it'll all work out and I'll have the hair I covet. If anyone has grown their hair out at all please give me ALL the tips you have!<br />

Ok, it's April... Which means it's nearly May, which means it's technically really close to summer. And the temperature is slowly (really slowly) starting to creep up. (Saturday is to be a balmy 12 degrees!) So despite the weather being a tad dismal I look toward the near distant future in hopes of a warm summer. Or at least a summer where I can wear dresses with nude fishnets... That's not a lot to ask for!<br />
<br />
Anyway, when I was in college I dreamt about wearing pretty dresses and heels all day, everyday. In college, this attire wasn't hugely acceptable (or practical). But now that I'm in the working world where I sit at a desk and design most days (and the odd photo shoot out in the real world) I feel that the clothes I desired to wear are now, finally, deemed suitable. So you can imagine might excitement at the very idea of this and how I rushed to the online shop windows to see what I might purchase in the coming months. There were loads (and some really pretty ones for bigger busts on <a href="http://www.bravissimo.com/pepperberry/products/dresses/#/1?level=2&show=16&sort=4&exclusive=false&new=false&sale=false">Pepperberry</a>) and it was hard to narrow it down... In fact I couldn't narrow it down so I picked some at random some that I liked. The three I chose to show you are fresh and fitted that will highlight my waist without the requirement of a belt (this is always a huge bonus). They look comfy yet still have an elegance (and a slight eccentricity) that I want my work clothes to exude. I'm not really ever in meetings so my work clothes can be quite casual but I still want to look and feel smart. I want there to be a slight difference between what I wear to work and what I wear at home. Let's face it, it's an excuse to dress up slightly, smarten oneself.<br />

It's been awhile since I blogged and it feels like forever since I did an outfit post. Literally, it was before Christmas. That is shocking! Shame on me... But we have the lovely bright evenings and it makes for far better photographs (thankfully no need for the flash).<br />
<br />
I thought this outfit was very country. Like proper old fashioned country (I really should be holding a hen or something in my hand.) I enjoyed the blend of the rugged shirt and boots with the sharp tailoring of the pencil skirt. But most of all I really liked the simplicity of this outfit. This has become a big thing for me lately. Simple outfits that still depict my personality. Working a full day is leaving me weary and I just long for fitted pieces and interesting tones. That outfit that you put on in a rush in the morning but you know it's going to work. Something fresh, comfy and still warm. Thankfully this new need hasn't left me without a wardrobe, I just had to rethink a few pieces. Try a few new things... and buy more tights.<br />
<br />
The stretch in the evenings and the gorgeous (yet deceptive) sunshine makes me want to dive into my summer wardrobe. Don't worry I haven't gone mad and decided to ignore the severe weather warnings (like the lady I saw yesterday in flip flops!) I'm just going to try and integrate my winter and summer wardrobes better. I tried this a couple of years ago. It did not go well. But I shall persevere! Thankfully my winter wardrobe is far more colourful that it used to be.<br />

So this Thursday one of my best friends is getting hitched (finally!), I am so excited for her and have been looking forward to this day all year!<br />
<br />
My dress has finally arrived, I'm fairly certain what I'm doing with my make up and the boyfriend is kitted out nicely as well. All that's left to concern myself with is my hair. I like my hair down for special occasions and I like to give it a little body/height. In fact my hair dresser told me I needed body! But I still don't want it terribly fussy, something that can be easily fixed if a gush of wind comes out of nowhere or if I get trampled on the dance floor. And, of course, a little bit vintage-esque, to match the dress. So off I went to Pinterest to see what inspiration lay in store for me.<br />
<br />
And this is what I've come up with, A gentle side sweep with a slight bit of lift in the back (not too, just enough). Thankfully my hair is already curly but I might give it a helping hand to keep the curls big. Couple of hair pins and some hair spray and I should be good to go. I am going to practice the hair tonight to make sure I can actually do it (nothing worse than a hair disaster the morning of a big event).<br />
<br />

I'm afraid I am finding it too difficult to blog about my 365 Project... In fact I'm finding it hard to find time to blog in general. So I'm solely going to be posting my imagery on my <a href="http://pinterest.com/rhonabethginny/365-project/">Pinterest </a>board. If you are interested in keeping up with it just follow the board (or just follow the link under the blog header). For some reason it's just easier to post them up there. Surprisingly, the easiest part of the whole project is the actually photography. Saying that, they aren't wonderful images. But then again I am no photographer.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I hope you will all still follow and like and repin and comment and all the jazz...

I have noticed lately, for possibly the first time in my life, that I don't hate what I wear... I think I might need to explain this. Before all this, before I really figured out and accepted what suited me and what didn't and before I got a true sense of what is 'me' in terms of fashion, I dabbled in a lot of trends and styles. I liked them all but didn't know if they worked on me. Sometimes it was too fussy, sometimes too plain, sometimes unflattering. Sometimes I looked great but was highly inappropriate for what i'd be doing. This process of style experimentation takes up time and you find yourself staring at your wardrobe with 'nothing to wear'. At least that's what happened to me. But it's what everybody does at one point or another in their lives... It's how you find out who you are and how you express that through your clothes.<br />
<br />
I like to think I have figured out who I am (at this point of my life anyway) and I have fallen (thankfully) into a style that makes me feel comfortable and depicts me all at the same time. This has made getting dressed on a daily basis much easier AND I actually feel good in what I wear most days. In my own head I have reached that 'effortless look' that we all strive for. I doubt to others it looks that way but it's how I feel inside (and on the outside too). It takes me less than ten minutes to figure out what to wear and then get dressed in the morning and still look decent for the whole day. Too me, that is effortless. That's the goal. To be happy in what you wear, look your best and spend less time in trying to achieve these aims. This is a big deal since I leave for work at ten to seven most days.<br />
<br />
I don't fully understand how it has happened, it only really occurred to me last week. Lately, I have been buying things I think would flatter rather than things that are really on-trend. And I genuinely believe that plays a role in all this. That and knowing what colours I like and knowing what I want my clothes to say. Don't get me wrong I love trends and keeping up with them but I think you have to know how to make them work for you. Which is a whole other skill in itself and one I am learning as I go along.<br />
<br />
So in short, I just wanted to tell you that I'm happy in what I wear.

We may no longer be in college together (or in the same county for that matter) but myself and Emma Kilduff have for I think our fourth year in a row inspected the fine actors and actresses of the Oscars ceremony and here are our top choices. Top girl and top guy... I know it's such a lazy post but since we all like to scour through them I thought we'd give our 2 cents (4 cents?)<br />
<br />
We both thought that this year had some serious contenders. It was really hard to choose but my top girl had to be Anne Hathaway. I doubt it'll be everybody's choice (Yahoo gave her a D+) but I think it was pretty, simple, chic and just a little bit daring. Like a mullet (business in the front and party in the back) but much nicer. Very different from anything else we saw on the red carpet, the pale pink really complimented her skin tone without looking too neutral. Plus she is just working that hair! Oh and the necklace is beautiful as well... Ok I'm done now. My top guy is of course Christoph Waltz. I am just loving the understated muted navy tuxedo on him. I am a sucker for a navy suit anyway so he definitely had the edge. Subtle and refined, perfect match for his wife me thinks!<br />

Jennifer Aniston's dress is normally everything I hate about these kind of gowns, its massive and plain but some how that's what makes me love it on her. She knows what suits her and sticks to it, this dress is no exception it's just gone up a gear. The simple strapless dress is a similar cut to some of the previous dresses Aniston has worn and it suits her perfectly. The skirt drapes beautifully and the colour is the perfect shade of red. All this combined with simple styling makes the perfect Jennifer Aniston look. Joseph Gordon-Levitt's suit is by far my favourite. The fit is perfect and the little details like the lapel trims add some personality. This with the dicky bow, pink button and his charm make this my perfect suit.</div>

And of course we couldn't be complete without a gawk at the after party dresses. Some people had a lot of fun here! My favourite is Amy Adams in this sultry Gatsby-esque gown. Chic but still a little offbeat. Not necessarily neutral but not garish either (which sparkly dresses can sometimes be – and some of them were). Thrilled she kept accessorising and styling to a minimum. Pure understated elegance. AND it's an Oscar de la Renta, a real weakness of mine.<br />
<br />
<i>Again through the voice of Emma....</i><br />
<br />
Diane Kruger's after party dress is GORGEOUS!! This monochrome, well I'm not sure what to call it, baby doll dress?? has an interesting silhouette and great print. It's just very different and I love it. (Im not a big fan of the shoes, but I can ignore them cause I love the dress so much) The hairstyle and jewellery set this outfit off perfectly.<br />

Another two week whopper special! I really have to stop doing this... At least I am still keeping up with the photographs... Including week 8 which I have just finished I am at 56 photos, only 309 to go! Phew! As usual the are all muddled up and are a bit of everything. I've been so busy I haven't had the opportunity to make use of the lovely sunshine though, and I keep seeing amazing things to photograph while driving... It's quite annoying that most of these images end up being taken at night. Oh well! I will persevere and do my best to use my lunches for some photography fun!<br />
<br />
Anyone else doing a 365 Project? Please tell me about it, are you keeping it up? Have you found it difficult? Do you feel more creative for doing it? I'd love to know...<br />

I don't know if you guys know this but I have been having a predicament when it comes to my lipstick. I pretty much wanted a lipstick that was the closest colour I could get to my own lips while still being a bit coral-y. I wanted to have a fresh lipped look without it being too colourful. Something I could wear everyday and be easy to maintain, something that would be fresh and pretty. I have no problem with amazing, vibrant colours on a night our special occasion but at work it's just too much hassle to keep it topped up. I also wanted it to be quite moisturising. I don't want my lips cracking with it, which does happen with other lipsticks.<br />
<br />
So on Saturday I found this lipstick. Soft coral (#600) from the Rimmel Moisture Range. It has a peachy/coral colour to it, shockingly close to my normal lip colour and is very easy to apply. My only problem with it is that it's quite shimmery... not in a nasty way but I usually like matte lipsticks. But it is definitely something that I can live with. It adds a hint of shine to my lips and keeps them looking full of life without going over board. It's like springtime on my lips... What a lovely idea!<br />

I don't think I'm going to get any better, but it's early days yet...rhonabethginnyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06805009570414640872noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319451053491723406.post-38309761277564427062013-02-12T11:18:00.002-08:002013-02-12T11:18:38.695-08:00want, need, wear, read...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Saw this on another blog and I just loved the simplicity of it. Simple and informative! And who doesn't love a good poem? But seriously, I think it's a nice way to sum up what I'm feeling and what is inspiring me every week. As a graphic designer (and a general creative type) finding inspiration is key.<br />
<br />
This week I am buzzing with thoughts.<br />
<br />
<b>Want: </b>This beautiful dress from Modcloth. Mint and feminine, this dress would help to introduce a fresher more spring-ish vibe to my wardrobe. I know the weather outside is awful but I don't want my clothes to reflect that. A friend once said that she enjoyed wearing colour when it was so grey outside. I think she may have been on to something.<br />
<br />
<b>Need: </b>My sister is due her baby literally any day now and I promised her to take Polaroids of her baby to match the Polaroids she has of herself as a newborn. I have the film ready but I need to get my hands on a Polaroid camera. Due to get one off a buddy of mine but I fear that the baby may be here before that. Fingers crossed that I can keep my promise. I seriously need to buy a camera for myself.<br />
<br />
<b>Wear: </b>I know I've been banging on about this necklace from Bonzie but it was my birthday over the weekend and my boyfriend can take the hint (less of a hint and more of a blunt request). It is now in my possession and I'm even more obsessed with it! It really is a statement piece so I'm trying to pair it my simple staples so that it really stands out. Hopefully, an outfit post will be up soon of it.<br />
<br />
<b>Read: </b>The book is called Lucy. It is by Laurence Gonzales and is about a mutant half ape/half girl found in the jungle. So it's a sci-fi <i>Jungle Book</i>? Maybe not... I've only just started it (weeks ago-been too tired to read religiously) and I am liking it so far. It seems like it's going to be quite sinister... If you've read it let me know what you thought.rhonabethginnyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06805009570414640872noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319451053491723406.post-67253038121113103442013-02-05T02:52:00.002-08:002013-02-05T04:47:11.001-08:00week #4... week #5...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have realised that taking a photo a day is fine, it's doable. The issue is getting around to actually posting them up here. You'd think that'd be the easy part but sadly free time is becoming slim and I just want to relax when I have it to spare. You know yourself. So apologies, but here is a two week bumper special 365 post. Two weeks for the price of one and all that!<br />
<br />
So yet again I'll give you a very brief run down of the images taken in the past fortnight. We have the dead hydrangeas in my garden, the river Shannon just behind my office, the view from Mount Leinster, our dog Ruby (being disturbed from her sleep), my tartan pencil skirt, an empty brandy glass, my knitted minion (Llewelyn) going a tad mental in the car, the view from the car on the commute home (don't worry I wasn't driving), the desktop image from my mac in work (downloaded from <a href="http://blog.imbreannarose.com/wallpaper-10-make-it-happen/">here</a>), the lime kilns just outside Carlow town, the view of the motorway as seen from the passenger-side mirror, my gorgeous red shoes on equally gorgeous tiles, furniture from work (I love that couch) and a silhouette of my boyfriend Cormac while he watches the telly.<br />
<br />
Hopefully I'll be able to be more punctual on my 365 project next week!<br />

Sometimes when you're in a small country like Ireland you assume you have to travel far to find something beautiful and unique yet still affordable when it comes to fashion, often across the pond. When I was younger I certainly thought that was the case. Every town had the same shops (Cork and Dublin had exotic shops like Miss Selfridge and Topshop). And then if you considered the idea of designer pieces you would shudder at the cost. (When I was a teenager we only had Elaine Curtis in Carlow which was and still is a beauty of a shop but always just out of my price range.)<br />
<br />
But as I've gotten older and through the blog I have discovered some wonderful vintage shops and designer boutiques that are full of unusual and simply stunning pieces. One of these places just happens to be <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Bonzie/102320094198">Bonzie Boutique</a> in Waterford, ran by the delightful and talented Yvonne Crotty. Her pieces are truly one of a kind, magically and sure to make a statement. They have a whimsical style that sings victorian gothic wrapped up in a soft bohemia. At the moment, she really is my go-to person for pressies for my friends and family. She is constantly whipping up new pieces for you to drool over and if you want something made bespoke she is more than happy to do it! What's nice to know is that her prices are quite affordable depending on what you get. Hairbands and fascinators are between €18 – €30 and statement necklaces (and they really do make a statement) can range between €55 – €120. She also designs hats, skirts, epaulets, gloves, pantaloons, corsets, coats, jackets and bridal wear. And from time to time she has been known to dabble in customised Converse and handbags. There really is something for every price bracket and it is lovely to know that something you are wearing has been lovingly made by hand (it makes the more expensive items totally worth it in my opinion).<br />
<br />
So if you're looking for a gift that is for someone special, have a special occasion coming up or simply want to spoil yourself at the end of January why not keep it Irish...<br />

These are poor feet before I ran 6k today, last year I could barely run one. And that's my sexy toe hole.... mmmmm sexy!<br />
<br />
I don't know if you guys knew this about me or not (can't remember if I've discussed it on here before) but I've been running for about six/seven months at this stage. Last summer, I got sick and tired of really untidy and not being able to be as active as my boyfriend would like (he's mad into the outdoors before you think otherwise). I just wanted to get fit (like proper healthy) and shed a few pounds in the process, you know yourself (we all like to feel and look tidy). But when I started back in July/August I wasn't really expecting to really achieve anything. I had hopes and aspirations that I would get fit and be running every week. But I thought that it was just wishful thinking. And with this in mind I never bothered to get special running gear. Except a sports bra and runners (every girl should have these!) However, my boyfriend had other plans. He was not just going to let me give up when my legs hurt or when my lungs burned... I was just told that's my body wanting to give up (but not actually giving up). And with his mean coach attitude and persistence and my unwillingness to look bad in front of him I powered on until I was able to go for long runs on my own.<br />
<br />
And now I feel like I can call myself a runner but for awhile I had this vanity hanging over me. I felt like when people saw me run they didn't see a runner they saw some chunky yolk in baggy trackies and a rain coat. I felt I had earned the acknowledgement that other runners get when they glide around the town. I have worked hard to achieve what I achieved. (I know it's terribly vain of me but I can't help it). So last Saturday I treated myself to a fancy long sleeved running top and a pair of super comfy leggings. And when the lady at the counter asked was I getting into some exercise I delightfully said that I was just getting new gear for my running. And I know it's a little sad but I felt great buying my new gear knowing it wouldn't be wasted.<br />
<br />
Anyone who has decided to get fit, don't buy the clothing just yet. Persist through the first few months and reward yourself once you know you are in it for the long haul. Trust me it's a great feeling!rhonabethginnyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06805009570414640872noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319451053491723406.post-59615730515941105782013-01-23T00:52:00.002-08:002013-01-23T02:11:50.632-08:00week #3...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Three weeks are over and done with and I have to say I am finding this 365 Project really hard. I'm not forgetting to take photos or anything but I find it hard to get the time to take a truly decent shot and not quick ones on the phone. I think the images are quite interesting but not all that special. Well apart from the last one which is of my beautiful sister, Karen, and her baby bump. She wanted a pregnant lady shot and allowed me to shoot it how I liked. I went all simple and sweet and I am super happy with it (and so is she, thankfully!)<br />
<br />
So again in order I'll give you a rundown of last weeks shots... Prepare to be dazzled! So we have, my workmate, Katie's over the top awesome sleeve, the mileage gauge yolk on my car while waiting for my other workmate Trish, The unbelievably intricate gift wrapping on my sister's birthday gift (from Bonzie), the fake orchids in the bathroom in work (as opposed to the dead ones at home), the really old rug in the guest bedroom at home that I covet dearly, a little sign from the nursery at my sister's and then my sister holding the bump of her first child.<br />
<br />
On to week four!<br />

A lot of things have been going on in my head and I'm feeling inspired! I'm hoping that a lot of things will happen for me in 2013 but they won't just happen on their own, I've got to get them going. Style wise I want to add more colour to my life (I know, now that monochrome is coming into fashion again I turn my back on it). I was looking into my wardrobe the other day and I could not get over how many black skirts I owned. Black, black and white, black and grey, black and gold... a little bit one sided. So a colour injection (in the skirt department) is most definitely needed.<br />
<br />
Also make up wise I have fallen in love with the fresh faced look, when your days are long you don't want smokey, smudgy eyes staring back in the mirror. I'm going to try some simple lipsticks, to keep me looking fresh. Not mad ones now but a red or soft coral or blush pink will go down nicely I think. Soups have become a little boring, same old veggie just isn't doing it for me. I want a bit of a kick and I have been drooling over these mexican inspired soups, full of good things and super tasty (I hope!)<br />
<br />
I can't help but steal a few moments away to look at some new design work that's out there now, really interesting pieces that have been created without the need for computers (too much). This piece by Darren McPherson and Will Miller really has my creative flow racing! And finally I have been day dreaming about my future home. I think this year will be the year that I fly the nest and I really want to make my new (non-existant) place my own. I have commissioned (begged) my mam to make this blanket for my future abode! You know, something for the bottom drawer, as they say.<br />
<br />
As always I have been inspired my the devil that is Pinterest.

Ok so week number two is over and done with. Some of these photographs I am super happy with, others were taken because I was feeling a little uninspired so I literally photographed what I was looking at. But at least I took them which is all that counts! So in order, I will tell you (in brief)what is going on in this weeks snapshots of life. (Inhale) The view from my window at work, the view leaving work, the view going to work (I was the passenger that week), old petrol pumps that I stare at from time to time, martini drank from a Babysham glass (celebrating Friday/drowning momentary sorrow), the heart hanging from my bed post (yeah I nearly forgot to take one that day- but the heart was bought by my mum and is super pretty, so it's graaaaaand) and finally the dead orchid flower that fell from the plant in the bathroom.<br />

Even though my blog is called Rose Tinted Uncertainty and it's all pinkish in tone, I have never been a massive lover of all things pink. Odd I know! My colours are usually blue, black, yellow and grey. But the sudden thaw has got me thinking of bright sunny days and my inner girly girl wants to show herself off... she's an awful diva that one! So I've been crushing on bubblegum pinks, baby pinks, fruity pinks and pinks that would kick your teeth in as much as look at ya! And on my search for something to quench this pink thirst of mine I discovered draping fabrics, dotey patent heels and refreshing jewellery. Everywhere I looked there was something beautiful in pink. It has made me really love the colour again. What's funny is that I used to be quite afraid of pink. Thought it wouldn't suit me and usually wore it in teeny weeny amounts but this year I am gonna be brave... if pink is considered brave.<br />
<br />
I know we are not out of the dark depths of winter (and a part of me doesn't want to let go of my rustic tones and thick wool) but I can't help but look towards a brighter future (in style that is - we cannot count on the weather to be all that bright).<br />
