This week’s GOTW are from Givenchy’s SS12 collection, I snapped these little beauties up at the #SummerSurgery thrown by Surgery PR; I couldn’t believe my luck! They tick all the boxes – great shape, black & gold, and flyy as hell!!! Check out the detail on the arms…nuff said! You can order these babies online at various sunglass shops, the style code is SGV 711.
Riccardo Tisci’s silhouette for Givenchy’s Resort 2013 is absolutely delightful! It’s such an effortless yet polished look that works for both day and night. The precise cuts and sophisticated tailoring revisit Givenchy’s signature look, such as the boxy jacket, the men’s shirt and sarouel pants. Contour is graphically renewed with a tail coat idea reinterpreted through opened sleeves or paneled extensions of tops, T-shaped sleeves and rounded balloon volumes. Tisci blends the best of Givenchy’s architectural lines and clean cuts with a gypsy influence expressed through prints and volumes. The feeling is about lightness, about mixing and matching what is seemingly at odds or classic with a sense of ease.
Monochrome whites, blacks and reds are teamed with three paisley prints. The same color palette follows through the rich variety of accessories. From boxy shapes to small clutches, including the HDG House de Givenchy style, bags incorporate soft calf, quilted and vegetal leathers. Other versions present paisley-printed textured PVC, caged crystal embroideries or braided nappa. The sandals, boots and high heeled loafers leave me salivating in braided leather, the monochrome pairs are outstanding!
LOVE aka InLoveWithFashion.com has some really great pieces on their site at the minute, including a multitude of dresses that are incredibly easy to wear. Just throw them on and accessorise as you please! Above is my top 5 from the affordable fashion site, the fave piece has to be the Floral Shirt which I wore as a dress here, followed closely by the Scuba City Dress that also comes in blue. Keep your eyes peeled on LMSYW to see me rocking the Green Snake Print and Black Chiffon numbers!
Yesterday I had a major breakthrough, if you have been following my GET FIT for 2012 series you will know that up until a month ago I did not nor had I ever worked out before; gym membership…? Pah!!! Well now, I have a gym membership at Nuffield Health which I’m using to the fullest, (I’ll be putting up my personal workout regime aka #cyrenasworkoutplan on here soon) and I’m looking into external classes/boot camp sessions. I tend to workout on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays (if I don’t keep strict days I won’t go); as this week was full of bank holidays I spent one of my ‘workout days’ in bed! So, back to my breakthrough yesterday – I did 45 mins of cardio at the gym in the morning, then in the evening I went to Boxit Bootcamp! TWO BOUTS OF EXERCISE IN ONE DAY PEOPLE!!! I’m truly growing in this department!
One of the things I’ve always wanted since I was a child was a punching bag, take from that what you will, but you can imagine my excitement when I was invited to attend a Boxit 2 the Beat class in Brixton. It’s a non stop, 1 hour, intense pad circuit class with a live DJ spinning house tunes so you can literally Boxit 2 the Beat! They say you can burn up to 1,000 calories in one hit and it definitely felt like it; the class has you sweating buckets! The instructors have you bouncing around, punching pads, doing squats, lunges, crunches – everything to work out your entire body. The best bit for me was the stretching at the end because that’s when I knew it was almost over! Just kidding, well not really…I’m feeling the effects as I type this but I would definitely go again. I’ve been told the outdoor class is great too! I recommend everyone gives this class a try at least once, you’ll be hooked. The best stress relief!

Riri’s campaign pics for Coconut water brand Vita Coco shot by photog fave Terry Richardson are out. If water is all it takes to get a body this good then I’ll drink it by the gallon! Brand ambassador for Vita Coco, Rihanna commented on how her favourite drink helped to get her body toned up and in shape.
“I wasn’t drinking enough water before, and I love coconut water. It hydrates me just as much as regular water so it really started to affect my diet and the way my body was shaping up.”
“I also started to eat a little differently” the songstress admits, delving into the details of her diet. “I added one vegetable to each meal with my diet for awhile — but then I went right back to eating McDonald’s and pasta and stuff like that too! So really its just having a balance of eating great and staying hydrated.”
“I never weighed myself so I don’t know how much weight I was to know how much I lost. I haven’t worked out sine January!
