Introducing The Happiest Fitness Co

I have one major ‘issue’ in life, and that is that I’m never one to settle, and I call it an ‘issue’ because I don’t believe for a second that anyone should ever consider ambition to be a flaw.

For me, my ambition is fairly simple: no never have to work for anyone but myself. Even as a child, I never wanted a job that I wasn’t in charge of; when I wanted to be a vet, it was in my own practice, and even after I set up my cake business, when I got a job in another shop for experience, it was tainted with the fact that I was still answering to someone else. So of course right now, in the middle of an existential life crisis (WHAT DO I WANT TO DO WITH MY LIFE?), my current day job is becoming less and less appealing by the minute.

BUT this post isn’t for me to moan about my job, its a happy post to announce.. I’m going into business again!

The Happiest Fitness Co

I’m taking my love of Disney and fitness, adding some of my creative skills and today sees the official launch of The Happiest Fitness Co!

I’m going to be offering a line of Disney inspired workout clothes (the first items of which will hopefully be available next week!) and organising virtual events, like the Frying Pan 5K which is already open for registration! Its pretty safe to say that I’m super excited!!

Working Wardrobe Dreams – The Coat

Ok, so this is a new little series for 2016, and it pretty much centres around the little part of me that secretly wishes I had a ‘boring’ office-based job that meant I could dress in super cute work outfits, rather than my current retail uniform. Bleurgh. Each month I’ll be focusing on a different wardrobe staple in a business girls arsenal, and today, given this chilly winter weather, its the coat!

Now I know that a coat isn’t exactly something you’d wear around the workplace, but in many cases its the first impression you could make on someone, whether you’re walking into their building or meeting over coffee, so its a perfect excuse to make sure yours is not just professional but also adorable!

Personally, I’m finding myself obsessed with the blue waterfall coat from Topshop; it just seems to hang so effortlessly! I’m also a real sucker for a classic mac, hence featuring Asos’s offering, and I love the wintery vibes from the RI belted cape.

Which is your favourite?
