Hello Lovelies,

Are you all keeping well? Busy Busy week over here at Tramp Towers but fingers crossed next week will be nice and chilled to make up for it eh!

Wednesday saw me lose a whopping 7.5lb this week, Thursday saw Mr Tramp and I attend a press launch for a new bar and Friday saw us head off for the weekend to a country hotel for a little relaxy time.

In other news, Mr Tramp bought himself some new jeans today….6″ smaller than the ones he was wearing – Well Done to him!!

Here’s a few snaps of my week!

Hello Lovelies,

Have you all had a lovely day?

We have had a chilled week in Tramp Towers. Lots of new projects starting that haven’t picked up speed yet so we’ve enjoyed some quiet time – YAY!

Today, when most people are gorging on chocs, I took myself off for what I planned to be a run along the coast but as I have a randomly mysterious calf injury (don’t ask – I don’t know how I’ve done it!) I decided on a nice long walk. We did Whitburn to Sunderland Glass Centre and back (6 mile). Don’t tell anyone but we stopped for a coffee and a scone at half time. After I ran up all the steps at Sunderland Marina I think I deserve it… and on the upside, I avoided those lovely seaside chips I love so much! mmm chippies!

As for posts on the site this week, here’s a little round up :

What Katie Did #11

Hello my beautiful lovelies,

Have you all had a fantabulous week?

It’s been a mixed bag of emotions over in Tramp Towers but I’ve come out the other side unscathed and on a high note so that’s good right? Right!

So, without further ado, a picture then some waffle…. that’s how it goes!





Monday saw me killing time near a large Asda so I popped in feeling a bit sorry for myself and not only did I buy a salad (yawn!) I came away with some bargain summer pumps, a gorgeous summery maxi dress for slobbing round in.. I couldn’t resist this Barbara Hulanicki shirt. It’s a long line, dirt cheap AND she is the designer of my now infamous skull wallpaper! You can just about make out the side of the maxi dress too

It’s meant to be a shirt dress but I think its far too short. Asda £16 – Size 8 -22


After a bad week, but lots of hard work in the gym, I bet my gorgeous supporting #SWBB ladies that I’d show them my bare arse if I lost weight this week… I did… I smashed it and this was the outcome!


I recently picked up a handful of Revlon Lip Butters this week and as much as I am in love with them… they just don’t stand up to a kiss from a loved one. I feel all Courtney Love with my smeared lip line! Sexy, NOT! At least it’s a rarity that I post a face picture… it’s probably because i’m always staggering round looking like a Hole lead singer!




On Friday, my company has a dress down day, so no suits, just jeans and trainers (huzzah!) and I grabbed my gorgeous burgundy skinnies and favourite converse but alas they are now not so skinny and as the day went on they got more more uncomfortably sloppy, let alone more and more unflattering. I spose it’s a good thing… BUT…. it leads me on to my next picture too!




After moaning that I had trawled the net during the weekend and couldn’t find anything nice to buy I just happened to be passing a shop to look for a gift for my Mams birthday and I found myself laden with goodies to try on! It’s unusual for me to find that many things in 1 store I want to try on! Don’t tell my husband but I probably did buy almost everything I tried on. Shhh ok?



I wore this cute, cheap casual tshirt on Saturday for running some errands and it got SO SO many compliments. Not only is the colour super flattering for my skin tone, the kitsch pineapple print really matches my personal style yet the pastel shade, print and peter pan collar make it so on trend right now. This was yet another unusually out of character supermarket find for me, this time in Asda. I think it was around £9 but however much it was, it was such a bargain. Very flattering cut for me too so expect to see this a lot more!



And finally, to surprise my lovely Mr Tramp, I took him on a brewery tour of our very fabulous, local Durham Brewery. Home to some of the finest microbrewed ales in the North. Now I don’t drink but I found the tour immensely interesting and learnt a lot…. whilst Mr Tramp got to drink a few pints! I would wholeheartedly recommend if you are either in the area or in to real ales that you check the place out.

Right, I hope you have an awesome week in the run up to Easter and I shall catch up with you next weekend  or as the awesome Keith Lemon would say….

If I don’t see you through the week, I’ll see you through the window

What Katie Did #4

What Katie Did #4

Hello Lovelies

It’s Sunday so that means only one thing…. What Katie Did.

I missed it last week as I was away so I’ve done 9 days rather than 7, I hope you don’t mind!

Nothing much new to report this week, did some mammoth shopping in Harrods on Sunday as if money was going out of fashion (oops!) but other than that, just work work and more work.

This week has however seen me get my blue shiny stone aware at Slimming World, (15.5lb lost in 4 weeks), drop dress sizes, stock up on coloured skinny jeans, buy new Converse and loafers, replenish my Chanel stocks and spend an eventful weekend in London… thanks Snow!

Lots of exciting new things coming up on www.ladyfromatramp.co.uk as well as the introduction of Lady’s Trampy Eats!

On with the pictures….




And i’ll leave you with this, a big giant fruity Sunday cocktail!


Enjoy your week x
