It stuck in my mind for ages afterwards as I wondered if I've been holding back in any area because of fear. Would I be further in my career? A better and more honest friend? Experienced more in life? There's a scripture from the Bible in 2 Timothy 1:7 which says: "For http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ChristCouture/~3/KBSxLxd2V9o/what-would-you-do-if-you-were-not.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Christ Couture Girl)0<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ChristCouture/~4/KBSxLxd2V9o" height="1" width="1"/>http://www.christcouture.co.uk/2012/05/what-would-you-do-if-you-were-not.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19278638.post-3241547764597492616Mon, 09 Apr 2012 17:01:00 +00002012-04-09T18:12:00.445+01:00 I'm not one of those bloggers that is not only able to look amazing everyday but is also then able to post photos of themselves looking fabulous on a regular basis.

I loved my outfit although due to my newly disobedient feet I had to wear trainers to work - gold ones obvs - but I didnt realise wearing leather to a workplace that is not primarily fashion-based would cause such a stir!  The people http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ChristCouture/~3/aXTzSE5IJWM/fashion-fare-day-4-christopher-kane.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Christ Couture Girl)3<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ChristCouture/~4/aXTzSE5IJWM" height="1" width="1"/>http://www.christcouture.co.uk/2012/02/fashion-fare-day-4-christopher-kane.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19278638.post-2967570191139976421Mon, 20 Feb 2012 21:35:00 +00002012-02-20T21:35:55.190Z Three days in and I still haven't learned to plan what I'm wearing the night before. Today was the first day I've had to try Fashion Fare on my commute and at work so my outfit had to be very practical.

But for me, the fun starts today. I love fashion, obvs - the clue is in the name of the blog - but I wanted to know how easy it would be to make the transition from catwalk to sidewalk (that's pavements to us non-yankees) http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ChristCouture/~3/MIQ3QA7b690/fashion-fare-day-1-antoni-alison.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Christ Couture Girl)6<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ChristCouture/~4/MIQ3QA7b690" height="1" width="1"/>http://www.christcouture.co.uk/2012/02/fashion-fare-day-1-antoni-alison.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19278638.post-6623196440267546357Tue, 17 Jan 2012 13:39:00 +00002012-01-17T13:39:11.440Z I've just found out that the fabulous couture designer Yemi Kosibah, will soon be holding his first ever sample sale releasing one-off couture bridal and eveningwear pieces from collections spanning almost his entire career!!

Which means that women can propose to their men. If they want to that is. Or are tired of waiting to be asked. lol. Because we're not used to it, the idea of a woman proposing to a man is a weird concept....and it just got weirder!

They're not all boy band wannabes living in the trendy areas of our cities so why can't they buy regular jeans instead of skinny? or t-shirts that cover their chests instead of having to shave their hair so they can wear horrible tees that look like someone has carved a V out of the front?
