As always, my first New Year's Resolution for 2017 was to lose weight/get fit. I always find it quite hard to talk about my personal relationship with my body and weight because I'm such a strong advocate of body positivity and I feel that by talking about dieting I'm going against everything I believe in. I think everyone should embrace the body they're in, as long as they're happy and healthy. Whilst I am definitely a lot happier and healthier than I used to be, I'm still not fully happy and healthy, and that's why I'm trying to lose weight. However, it's not just about the weight for me; I want to get fitter too! Just because it would be nice to walk up the stairs without getting out of breath, you know? Anyway. Whenever I lose weight, I change my eating habits accordingly and eat a lot more 'good' food and a lot less 'bad' food (although I do still indulge in treats like pizza and crisps every now and again!) but the one thing...

Sexism at the Olympics has been very, very  present. If you hadn't noticed the fact that several female athletes are being titled as "African American athlete" and "so and so's wife" by media outlets rather than being actually named when they win medals, you must have noticed the outrage caused by Helen Skelton's outfit as she documented the events of the swimming events.  Obviously, the lack of naming female athletes is disgusting enough on it's own.

Why should a woman be denied being fully celebrated simply because she's a woman? Why is a males achievement more important? It's disgusting! The outrage continued when a writer for The Sun referred to some Muslim athletes as "burka wearing hags". I am stunned The Sun even thought to print that.  But worse than th...

If you've been reading my blog for a while, you'll know I'm not really a fashion blogger. If you've been following my tweets recently, you'll have seen how head over heels I have fallen for the latest fashion trend of 90's sports wear. So, put the two together and you get one very poor Flo with lots of 90's sports clothes and her first fashion blog post!  I've never done one of these before so excuse my chunky thighs, awkward poses and slightly off editing! These are my favourite looks for this season though so I hope you enjoy them!  Look 1- Cold shoulders. This look is so simple and probably the least sporty of them all, so suitable for pretty much anyone! The cold shoulder, holey jumper is so simple but can be dressed up with jeans and heeled boots or- for the sake of this trend- dressed down for a more casual, sporty look! I've paired the jumper with some plain black "treggings" (really thick leggings!), m...
