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?

Generally speaking we are still tired from the (relaxing) Christmas break, feel like we should be on some sort of diet or detox or fulfilling the same new year's resolution we didn't quite manage last year, or are having to skulk around avoiding the January sales because we can't afford to shop after overspending at Christmas (again) or because we http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ChristCouture/~3/f8C4dN5OI2I/january-randoms-day-1.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Christ Couture Girl)1<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ChristCouture/~4/f8C4dN5OI2I" height="1" width="1"/>http://www.christcouture.co.uk/2012/01/january-randoms-day-1.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19278638.post-1294464260799213896Sun, 18 Dec 2011 21:43:00 +00002011-12-20T15:55:19.442Z As a journalist and blogger I am fortunate enough to be invited to press events which means I am introduced to yet more stuff to spend my money on - in the event that I had trouble spending it in the first place - and which opens up my tiny world of high street plus online shopping (otherwise known as "Spend-as-you-earn") to the possiblities of owning luxurious products it would never have http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ChristCouture/~3/J3VjF5vIjYw/all-i-want-for-christmas.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Christ Couture Girl)0<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ChristCouture/~4/J3VjF5vIjYw" height="1" width="1"/>http://www.christcouture.co.uk/2011/12/all-i-want-for-christmas.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19278638.post-2218632102827536991Sun, 18 Dec 2011 20:19:00 +00002011-12-18T20:19:17.683Z We usually think of Christmas as a time for indulgence and the days between Christmas and New Year as a time for reflection and thoughts to the year ahead.  Will you try harder to lose weight, save more, spend more time with your friends/family and less time at work?

Without really discussing it, we both knew that my Fish would go in front and I'd go behind.

Tired from a busy weekend where, despite my best efforts, there wasn't quite enough time to tidy the flat or say hello to my husband.

I don't live or work in any of the areas affected but I have family and friends who do and it was with sadness that I tuned into the world's media pretty much 24/7 as everyone tried to make sense of it all.
