Birthday Weekend in Paris with Hotter Shoes

You are only 40 once and 40 is the new 30! I have never been fussed about going big to celebrate my birthday nor have I had a birthday bucket list before 40. But when I heard that Hotter shoes was offering a couple of bloggers the opportunity to test out their Chase shoes, I jumped right into it! I have always known that Hotter make really comfy, durable shoes. The reason I know is because I have been wearing the Dew shoes almost every day for two years and its still wearable although the soles are worn.

2019 Challenge with ADEXE Watch London

Time has passed so quickly and now we are welcoming 2019! This will be a very challenging year ahead as we are buying a new house soon and Mr K will be going to ‘big’ school in September. The year before, we made a big decision to sell our ‘forever home’ to move closer to Mr K’s big school as we wanted the best school for him. It was not an easy decision as it involved tying ourselves to a bigger/longer mortgage and moving away from our nearby friends.

Hotter Leanne Review

This August, I am getting active with the Hotter Leanne shoes! Since we moved into the rented flat, I have been doing more walking than ever before and with this warmer weather, having a comfortable shoe for walking is a must! That’s why I will always choose Hotter as they make shoes that feel as comfortable as slippers!

Before we moved house a couple of months ago, I used to rely on my car for most of my journeys as we lived far away from the city centre and the supermarkets. Now, living next to the town centre at approx. a 3 minute walk away, I have no excuse!

Supermarket Fashion Shop for a Photoshoot

Supermarket Fashion is not only affordable and good quality, they are also very trendy and stylish. Now with more supermarkets bringing in their own stylish fashion clothing line, it opens a new way of shopping under one roof. We are no strangers to supermarket fashion as we often get them for reviews and photoshoots.

Vionic Support Pregnancy

Vionic is a very well established leading global maker of consumer and medical footwear. They have been in the UK for over a couple years selling in Shuropody and other shoe retailers. Their shoes not only make your feet feel great but the shoes look great too!

Last year, I came across Vionic through a blogger event and found out what made them unique, and what the difference between them and other shoe makers is. What they offer is their unique podiatrist-designed support that is built seamlessly into classic modern footwear. The unique FMT Technology in Vionic shoes supports you from the ground up, it re-aligns the foot to its natural position to help prevent flat feet.

Wolkyshop Wolky Men Shoes Review

Wolkyshop is a leading Dutch shoe retailer that is well known for their comfort as well as style. Last year, they opened their first UK flagship store in Brighton and they have a dedicated UK Wolkyshop for their customers to shop online which offers free shipping and return.

Did you know that all their shoes are handpicked, designed and manufactured by the Wolky factory in Holland? Their shoes are made with anatomically shaped foot beds which mould to the feet with an extra layer of memory foam. This was the first time I’d heard of this shop and I was very intrigued to learn more about them!

The beauty of autumn makes it one of my favourite seasons especially when the trees rain down red, yellow and orange leaves. It’s also the time to get your winter coats and woolly jumpers out! To get ourselves ready for this autumn, Mr C has picked a waterproof jacket and a hoodie from Jacamo.

Sportswear Outfits from Jacamo

Badminton is one of Mr C’s favourite sports. He plays regularly and so he often has to replace his sportswear. Mr C had a quick browse of the Jacamo website and they have a good selection of men’s sportswear with accessories, tops, bottoms and footwear. He finds the website easy to navigate and there is a lot of information for him to make an informed choice. Do note that some items are dispatch by Jacamo and some are dispatched directly from the supplier.

He quickly picked up these three sportswear items and he was pleased that they have his size in stock. Mr C has a small frame but sometimes he prefers to wear a slightly bigger size for a loose fit.

Hotter Shoes Event – Dew Shoes Review

A couple of weeks ago, I was invited to a Hotter Shoes event to check out their new season shoes and to learn more about their company. It is nice to know that they produce their own shoes in the UK! In fact, they are the UK’s biggest shoe manufacturer and make a pair of shoes every 20 seconds. They started off making slippers and then expanded to make shoes as comfortable as slippers.

I am no stranger to Hotter shoes. I have been wearing them since I was introduced to them two years ago. I have not looked back ever since. Their shoes are very lightweight and comfortable. Best of all, their shoes come in sizes 3-9, with half sizes and wide fit to help you find the perfect fit.

Looking around the store, I was spoilt for choice with all the beautifully coloured and patterned shoes. Their colour choices are very trendy and vibrant. I had a type of shoe in mind though. I always drive my children to school and we do a lot of walking. So I needed a pair of good covered walking shoes that give me support and with a trendy look. So I went for the Dew shoes.

Showstopper Weekend with Simply Be

Need some showstopper weekend clothing for a dinner party or maybe a conference? Now is a good time to pack away our thick winter coats and to get out our spring dresses and heels. I have been checking out Simply Be’s spring collection to keep my wardrobe up to date with this season’s latest trends and styles.

In these upcoming months, I am going to a few friend’s 40th parties and I might attend a blogging conference or two. I am not a fashionista but I do love buying dresses as they are comfortable to wear and there are so many choices! I am so pleased to pick these two beautiful pink dresses for this season. Simply Be stock sizes 12 up to size 32. Sometimes I do struggle to find the larger sized clothing on other websites.
