Weekend Workout Inspiration ~ Bootycamp

images via weheartit

Yes! there is such a thing as a Bootycamp!
I 'm really not a "Workout" kind of girl, too Lazy and proud of it but then again I have been neglecting my assets for far too long (meaning my little Tush) so it's Bootycamp for me to enhance and sculp some curves!

Believe it or not it's actually quite easy to grow a nice Tush. A while ago (okay I lied, years ago) I actually put myself through a little Bootycamp before and it really really worked! I believe I found the exercises in the Allure Magazine (not 100% sure though) and saved the clipping like my life depended on it! 

I'm pretty sure I never threw it out, I mean who would trow away the key to a perfect Booty, right? So guess what? I can't find it anywhere! Luckely it's in a Womans DNA to remember everything that contributes to her figure... ^_^

There are so many Booty exercises online  for so many different results like toning and  firming but for me since I want to enhance curves and create mass, It's: 

Squads
Step Ups
Dumbbell Reverse Lunges
and Hamstring Curls with a stability ball 

So yes, this will be me this weekend... exercising...

Things To Do in your Weekend: DIY collars

The Detachable, Studded and Embellished Collars aren't going anywhere just yet, they are here to stay a bit longer and blend in beautiful into the coming Autumn/Winter season! So yes, what better way to spend your weekend getting creative and crafty on Collars? There are so many DIY's so I just picked a few of my favorites for upcoming season!

Yes, the metallic collar necklace would be a bit out of your average diy-league but luckily for us it's a below $15 H&M piece! I actually bought the necklace yesterday and think it would just look perfect with about any blouse, top and dress!

Atlantic Pacific shows us how delicious diy studded collars look! She actually worked with this tutorial by Cheetah is the new Black, another amazing tutorial for a detachable studded collar: here

The Stylescrapbook x kipling Camera bag is not new (it has been out for a while now) but I'm still head over heels for this clever and lush design! It was quite hard to find some online since most where sold out already but luckily I found some left here!
