The dream...

I have already found a dress that I absolutely adore. It is absolutely beautiful:

I think I have actually fallen a little bit in love with it, which is no doubt helped by its unattainability. I cannot find this dress anywhere. I need it in a size 6, but having phoned up a wonderfully helpful product tracker, I have been assured that there is no size 6 of this dress in stock, in any Oasis store in the UK. Without being in anyway melodramatic, I feel like Rose in Titanic, when Jack drowns, but probably worse, as at least she had him for a while, whereas I have not had the dress.

I am worried that I have become overly obsessed with a dress. Somewhat of a predicament really, as now I have to start looking again, which will undoubtedly be a rather arduous task, given the fact that I cannot quite give up on this one just yet.

And so it begins...

I've set myself a challenge. A superficial challenge, but a challenge nonetheless. I am three days away from sitting my last ever exams at university. That's it. Done. Which is incredibly scary, but the blow is softened a bit by the month or so left between finishing exams and leaving to go back home.

Of course, within that month is Graduation Ball. And during exam time I have been eating literally anything and everything that I can get my hands on. Having decided that the beached whale look is something I don't want to be reminded of in the inevitable photos, I have decided to do something about it.

Essentially, I am going to embark on a bit of a two week programme to get fit, shape up, and generally prepare for Grad Ball. And then I'll write the results on here. I am sure that in my quest for a decent look I'll end up trying out all sorts of products and remedies, so I'll review them here and hopefully end up giving some impression of what actually works! I am also going to try and eat relatively well, so I'm sure that sharing with the rest of the internet what I have been eating everyday will motivate me to ensure that is at least some occassional portions of fruit and veg.

So that's it. My master plan to become something of a two week wonder, hopefully with fairly decent results, with a blog documenting my dubious successes and more likely failures. But I will give it a go, and hope for the best!
