What I wore: Really, rainy date night

The rain is never ending in Brisbane but we can't let it stop us from living life. Last night we went to watch closing night of Breaker Morant at the Mousetrap Theatre. It was raining hard.

This is what I wore on a wet, cold, date night.
A black Hi There by Karen Walker leather jacket. Like water of a duck's back, the rain ran straight off me.
A trusty Bond's white T-shirt. I realise it's a little risky wearing a white top in this weather, but I am a risk taker.
Skinny black Sussan jeans. You can't see the rain splatters as much on black.
Veronella boots. I love that these are studded with gold and silver studs. These were great for stomping through puddles.
Hair braided to make it weather proof.
Shellac 'City Scape' light grey nails.
Red Chanel lipstick 'Exces'. I needed a pop of colour.

How are you holding up in this crazy weather?

How to look good at the Gym

It's not as hard to look good at the gym as it sounds. Most people aren't looking their best in this situation, so you in comparison don't have to do too much to make yourself look good.
1. A little concealer on the pimples and a little lipgloss goes a long way. You don't want a full face of makeup. This ends up making people look obviously insecure and like a sad clown at the end of the workout.

2. Flattering gym clothes. I know this sounds like an oxymoron but keep looking and you will find them. If you look good, you work out harder. I'm certain there would be all kinds of scientific tests that back this theory up.

3. Decent workout shoes. These are a necessity, so make them as fun and colourful as possible. Then people won't notice when your concealer starts to sweat off.
4. Deodorant. This doesn't relate to your appearance but if you smell terrible people won't care how awesome you look.

5. Good sports bra. Another necessity so invest in some good ones. If you are big busted, you can layer a few, use a few different colours to brighten your ensemble.

6. Wearing brands is ok but try not to wear just one brand head to toe. It looks like you are trying too hard to get a sponsorship deal.

7. Buy a sports towel. You are going to use this a lot, so invest in one that is only for your workouts. It's look a lot nicer than a bath towel; and

8.  Check your armpits for hair and crusty deoderant (gross I know, but I have seen this a lot). You'll be flashing your pits to everyone so make them nice.

What are your tips to work it at your workout?
