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 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 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.
For the last two months, we have been testing out these start-rite Mary Jane school shoes for Ms C to see how they fare. Have they stood up to the test? Have they been keeping Ms C comfortable and will they keep going into the new school year? Yes, it has and it should!
This summer, Morrisons is helping us to get ready for the back to school journey! From school uniform essentials to PE kit staples, Nutmeg’s Back to School pieces start from just £2 and include clever design ideas for durability and ease-of-dress. All clothing in the Nutmeg children’s wear range is also covered by Morrisons’ 200 day ‘no quibble’ guarantee which covers rips, spills and outgrown pieces, assuring parents that school uniforms will survive the wear and tear of the playground.
Dry Kids is an online retailer of bright and colourful children’s outdoor protective clothing that will appeal to many children and parents. Their garments are designed in the UK and specifically allow children to have plenty of freedom to move plus allow for a certain amount of layering of clothing beneath the outerwear, whilst being worn. They also have a good range of styles of protective clothing that are suitable from one to fourteen year olds.
Morrisons have unveiled their own brand Nutmeg summer holiday shop clothing range which is available to buy in store now. Have you seen it yet? Did you know that they have even launched their first ever women’s collection, and prices start from just £3?
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.
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.
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.
As spring draws nearer, it will soon be time to pack away those thick winter coats and to get out our spring dresses and heels out of the wardrobe. It is also a good time to keep your wardrobe up to date with this season’s latest trends and styles from JD Williams’ new collection.
Most parents of primary school children will have come across Heelys and in fact, at my children’s school, it seems like every child has a pair! They are the trainer style shoe with the skateboard-like wheel in the heel. They are an ingenious, cool looking skate-shoe that enables children to transform an ordinary walk into a much more lively and interesting journey altogether.
What is my Best First Date? To celebrate this coming Valentine’s day, Mainline Menswear have collaborated with 85 designer brands to offer myself a chance of winning a massive £1250 worth of designer clothing for my husband to write about my best first date.
I’m not going to lie or make up stories about my perfect first date as I didn’t really have much personal experience in dating. My husband was my second first date and of course that was the best. I don’t say that because he will be reading this but he knows it is true anyway. This coming 3rd February is our 10th wedding anniversary and we have made special plans to celebrate it with our children.
Shopping online couldn’t be easier with boohoo as they have everything under the roof! There are lady’s, men’s and children’s fashion! I do like to do a big shop in one go as it saves time in hopping to another website and delivery charges.
As both my children are growing up fast, they need more new clothing than Mr C and I. Looking through their range of children’s fashion, I decided to pick them a set of clothing for Christmas!
Mr K is not into Christmas jumpers or anything that is too festive. He prefers freestyle, so I opted for this white freestyle tee for him. The size is for age 9 to 10 years old which suits him well and very comfortable. The materials are soft to touch and after the first wash, it still looks great.
