Converse Converted

17th May 2011

Firstly, apologies for yet another scheduled post. Someone got a little “yes” happy when overtime shifts were being offered up and is now regretting her decision just a little. I’m a little bit stressed, a lot bit tired, and generally this is a harder than anticipated time of year for me.

Anyway, on to the main post. CONVERSE. I believe this is my second converse dedicated post but after taking the plunge and buying my first pair in years I suddenly need more. More more more. Oh pay day, won’t you hurry up?!

(Major kudos to Becca for the comfort tip. Heel gel pads = no rubbing or blisters. Becca = foot saver).

All Star Vagabond Gingham Ox

All Star Vagabond Flag Hi
All Star Slim Music Cuir Ox (I could probably pass these off for work shoes!)

All Star Seasonal Hi

So my fellow converse fans, which pair are you currently lusting after?

I know there is a lot of stress going on right now with exams etc, so if anyone would like a post on relaxation tips etc, just shout.

Simply Beach

16th May 2011

The last time I bought swimwear I was 17 and it was a bog standard, funny shade of purple tankini from BHS.

It had never really occured to me that finding the right swimwear might actually make me feel better about wearing it in public places (er, that’d be my back garden if we ever get the weather for sun bathing) until Simply Beach contacted me asking if I’d like to take a look at their range of Bikinis
When I’ve looked in shops before I’ve been put off by the fact everything seemed to come in sets, and separates were somewhat lacking in style. I am not well gifted in the bosom department finding a top to fit is something of a nightmare, being able to shop by bra size made the experience much easier!

I went for this little number

which has the added bonus of being convert able AND padded, making me look much better endowed than I actually am. There are also a wide range of bottom styles on the site; I prefer something that sits a little higher on the waist, and isn’t shorts or tie side.

What I’m trying to say is that this site has something for everyone and a huge range of beach clothing and accessories too; with brands such as Sea Folly and Speedo. The service was fantastic, with easy checkout and fast but cheap delivery- I placed my order on Thursday evening and had it by Saturday morning for the grand sum of £1.99!

So if you are heading on holiday, getting in to swimming, or like me just like to laze in the garden I’d head off to Simply Beach now.

…now if only someone would send me a holiday.

What does your dream bikini look like?

Thank you to Simply Beach for the Bikini. Although I was sent the product in exhange for this post it in no way impacts my view.
