I'm on a bit of a pre-Christmas health kick (no, I haven't gone crazy, I have to fit into a slinky bridesmaid dress on the 6 Jan). Also, detoxing and exercising like crazy come January is not necessarily the best option - little and often is far healthier and more achievable. If you're on the same wavelength as me, reward your efforts with some new gym kit.

I met with the Sweaty Betty team last week and they took me through the new s/s collections (out January), all of which I wanted, naturally. Lightweight sweat wicking fabric in the areas that get hottest, great sized pockets that hold your phone, iPod and keys, a loop on most tops to feed your iPod wire through so you don't get tangled when working out, reflective stitching on running jackets...the list of clever details are endless.

Luckily all these clever details are included in the a/w collection online now. I currently have my eye on the Tempo Tee, £55 and the Hoxton Tee, £45 and the 10K Tights, £50.
