New York Fashion Week, Day 3

Today I have decided to mix up my fabrics and textures the silk against the sheepskin bag and patent quilted trainers all work really well together as long as the colour tones stay the same. This fashion week you can WIN the trainers and bag from UGG Australia just RT the blog or leave a comment below

TIP...play with shades of black by mixing up textures like sheepskin and patent as seen on these accessories and wear with a graphic style top to add more detail and play with neutral colour blocking

New York Fashion Week, Day 2

TIP...strong shapes and folds work really well on top and look for high necks which are very flattering and give the effect of a longer neck, contrast with a simple pair of wide leg trousers in navy that are not too baggy to slightly show off the Nike trainers

New York Fashion Week, day 1

TIP...mix your tones of black together and add a statement shoe to the outfit for a tonal twist and a leather rucksack gives this a more lux feel to sportswear

Natalie Hartley Runs...with Animal Flow

So here it is the new style of training that have been practising with my trainer at Equinox. Animal Flow. This style of training combines yoga, tai chi, boxing plus many more with the classic moves to create animalistic movements to develop and build all your muscles at once. The Crab is what I am badly demonstrating below but there are many more styles to learn it fucking hard but once you got it its quite addictive. Want to know more? Take a look here and watch the video of the guy that created this new workout craze...crazy but very clever Equinox

More core strengtheners, a killer for the stomach can't even remember what I did here but it hurt!

The Skirt.....

If you are going to invest in one key piece this season make it a skirt.  This week you can win yourself the one in the second outfit and start adding to your new aw13 wardrobe all you have to do is retweet the blog or leave a comment below to win deadline Friday 6th September...good luck!

TIP...this season look out for contrasting fabric details like silk and patent I have added a sweatshirt to dress it down (wear oversized and longer to cover the bum area but a block heel boot with bear legs is great with a midi length skirt and toughens up a girly shape

TIP...the a line skirt shape is great for a curvier girl and this skirt slims down the hips as well add a crisp white shirt and maybe leave the creases in to mix up textures and again a statement boot finishes the look
