Going Green- My Journey
Photography www.ionamacleod.com
So my new years resolution was not just to attempt 'dry Jan' (and fail) but to actually implement a fitness and health regime into my current lifestyle.
I often find if you make drastic lifestyle changes you end of relapsing after two weeks because your body is not use to it- ever gone on a health kick and made yourself go to the gym every day for a week?
Didn't last long did it dear...
Didn't last long did it dear...
There were certain activities I decided to take up in the new year, such as yoga on a regular basis, cycling to work and just generally eating better. These were just some gental nudges I created for myself that steered me in the right direction to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Ever heard the saying 'less is more'? In this instance it worked, I had more energy and drive to actually WANT to carry myself to the gym, after two weeks my body craved the feeling of being 'worked out' and I felt amazing.
So my biggest tip to get on that fitness bandwagon is ..baby steps! Select a few things you enjoy doing and slowly slot them into your routine.
I'd love to know how you all get on! So shoot me an email one time lefashionfetish@hotmail.com

Plenish 3 Day Juice Cleanse- Does It Work?
As we delve deep into January everyone is on the fitness movement in London, everyones dieting the gyms are heaving and it's suddenly become a seasonal trend to get fit and turn green after the sins we made over Christmas, (by this I mean eating everything in sight).
I decided to do a 3 day Juice Cleanse, despite my friends/family doubting I could do it judging by my love for food, I accepted the challenge. I decided to keep a diary during my experience to capture every moment wether it be a struggle or not to give the best review I could.
The cleanse is simple, it's lasts 3 days and you drink 6 juices per day, easy right..? My Plenish Cleanse box arrived on Tuesday, the box contained 18 bottles, each bottle was carefully wrapped and had a numbered sticker on the cap so you new what order to drink them in. I packed them in the fridge and off I went!

Juice Diary
9.am- Juice 1 was called 'Lift' this contained pear, cucumber, romaine, spinach, kale, basil, broccoli I was pleasantly surprised when I cracked open the bottle, to find a refreshing organic green extremely flavoursome healthy juice. The bottle was actually a struggle to drink in one so I drunk it over the course of 30 minutes, which meant I stayed fuller for longer.
11.30am Juice 2 was called 'Calm' which was an explosion of sweet fruits such as pineapple, mint, apple and aloe vera, this was a perfect 'pick me up' just before midday because I was feeling a little tired.
2pm Juice 3 was called 'boost' which was spinach, kale, parsley, romaine, cucumber, pear, lemon, ginger I have to admit this was the most challenging part of the day. My body clock was telling me to eat but I was desperately drinking herbal teas and water to fill myself up. I didn't expect the cleanse to be easy but I really struggled at this point I was so tempted to go and grab a flapjack from pret- nevertheless....I refrained (I promise).
4pm Juice 4 I survived. My body clock finally adjusted to the new regime, wether it liked it or not. The urge to eat solid food stopped and I actually started looking forward to the next juice. I think the most interesting part about the cleanse were the numbered stickers on the bottles which actually were in sync with what I was craving at that exact moment. However..then I discovered juice 4 which was a slight shock to the system. It has lemon, lime, coconut nectar filtered water and wait for it..RED CHILLI in it! I tried drinking it in big gulps to flush it down asap, the taste was actually quiet nice but it was the aggressive spicy after taste that wasn't. As I was drinking it I keep telling myself it will help speed up my metabolism because spicy food has a reputation for that, no?!
7pm Juice 5 was a refreshing beetroot and cherry number, I actually don't like beetroot but this tasted quiet pleasant. I was content at this point in the day and did not crave food, I was ensuring I drank lots of water!
9pm Juice 6 was my favourite! If theres one thing I love it's dates so I was really looking forward to this one, especially as it was more like a milkshake so It was nice to have a sweet treat in the evening.
Conclusion- The detox was great, I do feel recharged after doing it, each juice has so many nutrients, fruit and veg packed into each bottle that I new I was only doing positive things for my body. The biggest struggle I found was cutting out caffeine, because like any blogger I am addicted to coffee!! I hadn't tried Plenish Juices before this cleanse but I definitely want to incorporate them into my weekly or even daily eating regime because they are so good for you!

Wishful Thinking..NYE
Photography www.ionamacleod.com
Wow, what an amazing year it has been! This year has been full of challenges for me, there have been extreme highs which came with extreme lows, its probably been the year I have learnt the most about myself. After a year of neglecting my blog due to work commitments in 2013 I picked up where I left off this year and to be honest its been the best thing I ever did, this blog brings me so much joy, the shoots, the relationships I have made, the places I've visited and most importantly it's brought me and my photographer/best friend Iona closer than ever. A friend once told me that a blog is like a plant the more light, love and water you give it the more it flourishes, and it's so true!
I have a lot of fun things planned for 2016 so keep following me to see, I am also very excited to announce that I will be 'vlogging' in the new year (so keep your eyes peeled for that!). Click the link below to read the full Free People blog post and find out what my NYE traditions are.

Poncho Made Perfect
Ponchos and Knee highs are my new two favourite things during Winter. These two garments marry each other in an outfit and are warm enough even without tights when the weather is as mild as it is in London at the moment. This Poncho is from Asterna Style, it's made from high qaulity fabrics so it feels lovely on. The boots are from Aldo, they are actually in sale now if you want to go grab them!
Shop the look;
Poncho- Aeterna Style
Skirt & Top- ASOS
Boots- Aldo (In sale now go go go!)

Keeping It Caj
Photography www.ionamacleod.com
Shop the look;
Jeans- Aeterna Style
Jumper- H&M
Shoes- ASOS (Similar Here)
Bag- Free People
Last Sunday me and Iona ventured out to see Big Ben. Discovering new locations to shoot on is one of my main focuses at the moment, I love spending a whole day shooting/exploring to try make the shoot as productive as possible. As well as exploring London I get to share it with Iona and we always have a laugh. This week I discovered a brand called Aeterna Style they do some beautiful pieces so make sure to check out their website. The distressed jeans have a stunning embellished patch on the right pocket which really adds that bohemian touch to them so of course I had to have them. The Jumper is an over sized fringed number from H&M (which is finally on the website now and a total bargain for those of your seeking a cheap Winter must have). I like to roll the sleeves back on my jumpers and I always buy a size 2 sizes to big for me, because what is a jumper without a slouch? The bag is from Free People (I know, I'm border line obsessed with them) and has now become my go to hand bag, even though its quiet a statement bag it surprisingly goes with everything, they do loads of different shades so be sure to click the outfit link to check them out!
