Hellooooo everyone,
I have been away from my blog for sometime now, in fact its been like 6 months (shocking). My life changed a little 6 months ago in that I stopped working and my daughter was at home with me full time. Not to mention other things which I will go into via a separate blog post.
So has it taken me literally 6 months to adjust, HELL YEAH. But nevertheless I'm back. I have been working on Match U Gifts again which is my gift site and I have also got something else very interesting in the pipeline but I will tell you more once things have been finalised.
I'm will be taking things slow but my blog is something I want to get my teeth into so I will be doing regularly blog post as of now.
This month is Black History Month so this is a great time for me to get stuck right into something so I will be show all the great female fashion forward celebrities throughout the month of October. Hope you all enjoy.
Signing out Miss Match U Style.

Baby Girl On the Way For Pregnant Victoria Beckham?
A little birdie tells me that Posh will finally get her little girl!
Even if this is true, I'm sure the only thing on Victoria and David's mind is having a healthy baby.

Miss Bargain Hunter - Christmas Drop In
Happy Thursday Everyone,
I have had a great day today at the Match U Style and Green and Brown Christmas Drop In. I met some great ladies and look forward to meeting them all again soon.
I thought I would share with you what I wore today as part of Miss Bargain Hunter blog post.
It was freezing when I woke up this morning, but it seems my winter uniform is going to be dresses but with black opaque tights. The colder it gets the thicker the tights will get.
The dress i wore today was a gem i picked up in the TKMaxx clearance rail, funny enough Elaine from Green and Brown who I did the event with also had a lovely dress from the TKMaxx clearance rail but I didn't even put two and two together until i got home.(Great Image Consultants minds think alike)
I got this dress about two weeks ago from TK for £6, I think it was originally £17.99. Definitely a bargain.
I wore the dress with my big statement earrings from Tesco's. I can't remember how much these were but knowing me they were definitely no more than £3, in fact knowing Tesco's they were probably no more than £3.
I wore my lovely, comfortable old faithfuls from Primark, I'm sure I got these for around £4 and they have become my best friends as far as shoes go. They are really comfortable and as you can see I wear them a lot. Even though they are from Primark they have gone through the wars and come out fighting. I think I have had them for at least 2 summers.
Like I said I wore the dress with some tights and with my hat and gloves I didn't feel toocold, I left them in the car but the next time I go into the shopping centre I will be sure to bring my hat and gloves because it was just as cold inside as it was outside.
Well that's it from me because my daughter is currently trying to give me a new look with a pillow case over my head, which i assume she is using as a prop for my new hairdo.
Until next time

Women's Body Image
Happy Wednesday Everyone,
I have started writing this post today with a great big sigh, I was watching This Morning, this afternoon about a recent survey that they did about women and their images/ looks/bodies. Shobna Gulati, Sunita from Corrie, that's Coronation street to you unfamiliar was being interviewed about the topic. She revealed that she has had major issues with her body and image and that she has had surgery and therapy.
I was in total shock after watching her interview on This Morning, but I know and have meant many women like her. I suppose there are many of us who would have do what she did and had surgery if we had the money.

The Coronation Street star fights her body insecurity
Shobna Gulati bares all for Now
As Coronation Street star Shobna Gulati sits down for a chat at our exclusive shoot, she admits she's feeling a little nervous about stripping off.
‘I'm wondering how I'd make my boobs look remotely attractive,' she laughs.
For a gorgeous, slim soap star, Shobna, 44 - who's recently lost 1st in weight - isn't confident about her figure.
'If 10 is the happiest I've ever been about my body, then I think that would've been when I was a baby. Now it's less than 5,' she tells Now.
'I'd change my stomach completely - my tummy texture. There's no exercise that can get rid of that.'
But if Shobna does ever have a tummy tuck, it will because she wants it and not because of the pressure to look perfect for any man.
'Some men are very unkind to women. I had an ex-partner who said that my body was damaged because I'd had a baby,' she reveals.
'Or he'd point at my tummy and go: "I can see your gut," and I said: "Oh can you? I think you should leave my house."'
You go, girl!
See the full story about Shobna Gulati in Now Magazine dated 8 November 2010
She tells Now: 'I think we've got a lot to learn from American women. They're just happy in their skin. Maybe if I looked all glammed up like Katy Perry, I'd be happy.'
Shobna added that an ex-boyfriend had made her feel uncomfortable with baring her flesh.
She revealed: 'I have to say, some men are very unkind to women. I had an ex-partner who said that my body was damaged because I'd had a baby.

'If 10 is the happiest I've ever been about my body, then I think that would've been when I was a baby. Now it's less than five.'
Shobna first appeared as Sunita in Corrie in 2001. She left in 2006 after her character discovered her husband Dev had carried out multiple affairs behind her back.
However, her character returned to the soap and got back together with Dev earlier this year.

My Comments
I have got mixed feeling about this, on one hand is makes me happy to know that me setting u my style consultancy for new mums and women with children was definitely the right thing to do, because women need that support and a way to build there confidence after having a child or children. Women bodies do change after having children, and it can be a lot to deal with for some women. Some women get on great and have lot of support but the women who don't really do suffer.I felt really comfortable watching her in the interview on this morning though, for a women who stays in front of a camera everyday for a living Shobna looked very comfortable and showed all the signs of someone who isn't comfortable with herself. It took me back to a place where I have been and if I am honest a place where i haven't totally left yet. I wish her well and if I could have shouted through the TV I would have told her to read the Science of Getting Rich. Its all in the mind.

Baby Boom
Happy Tuesday Everyone,
I haven't been around for a few days but that;s because I have had a poorly little girl at home, but she happily went off to nursery today with a bit of a chesty cough and a runny nose but smiles all round.
This year at least 12 women I know( i reckon its probably more) have announced their pregnancy or given birth, and lets face it the year its over yet.
So because this year has been baby boomtastic, I thought I would share all the recent celebrity pregnancy announcements.
Kelly Preston
John Travolta and Kelly Preston announce in May 2010 that they are expecting their third child.
Anne-Marie Duff
James McAvoy and Anne-Marie Duff, who met on the set of Shameless in 2003, are expecting their first child later this year
Alanis Morissette
Alanis Morissette and husband Mario Treadway are expecting their first child.
'Yes, happy news...I'm pregnant,' she Tweets on 11 August.
'We're so excited to start our family.'
Penelope Cruz
Penelope Cruz's spokesperson confirms on 14 September that she is expecting a baby with new husband Javier Bardem.
Penelope and Javier exchanged vows in a private ceremony at a friend's home in the Bahamas in July.
Abbey Clancy
On 16 September, Peter Crouch confirms that fiancée Abbey Clancy is expecting their first child.
Myleene Klass
Myleene Klass announces on 19 September that she is expecting her second child with fiancé Graham Quinn and that she's had her 3-month scan.
