Avoalre Athletic Socks Review

Avoalre is a brand that started with an aspiration to create athletic socks for every sports person to enjoy. They source their own materials, design and put the socks through a variety of moisture absorption performance tests, friction and endurance tests. Their unique selling point (USP) is that their socks fit well and are comfortable. After testing them out, we were very confident that it does exactly what it says on the tin! We were pleased with them!

6 tips on how to choose the prefect dress for prom or wedding

The “prom dress” has the same cut and silhouette as the bridal gown. The only difference in the prom frock is its fabric; it must be light, flowing, and form-fitting. While brides wear white for purity, innocence, and virginity, teens don wear white because it doesn’t show up well on camera.

Choosing the right clothes is essential, but it is equally vital to wear the perfect accessories. Investing in a few good pieces of jewellery, like necklaces and bracelets, will not only make your outfits pop with style but also allow you to show off your personality.

Are You Wearing The Right Shoes?

Although buying shoes might seem like a simple enough activity, things get a bit more complicated when you consider how many types of shoes there are out there, each with their own specific function. Shoes should be an investment, so instead of just wasting money on the first pair of shoes you like, do your homework, and spend your hard-earned cash on the right shoes!

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.

boohoo Children Fashion Review

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.

Birthday Gifts Ideas Vintage Clothing Review

Recently, I came across this men’s fashion range of Birthday Gifts Ideas’ vintage clothing which is great if you need to buy a gift to mark a special birthday! Birthday Gifts Ideas have this range of vintage t-shirts that are made from 100% pre-shrunk soft cotton with short sleeve and crew neck t-shirts. They are available in four different sizes: Small (34-36″), Medium (38-40″), Large (42-44″), XL (46-48″), XXL (50-52″). Mr C is generally a medium size and this t-shirt size is true to his size.

We have received six different designs of t-shirts and they have a good quality professional silk screen printed design that gives a smooth, soft and long lasting finish on the front. These items of clothing are suitable for machine wash at 40°C and I have washed them all. It survived the machine wash and tumble dry! They should be tumble dried at a medium heat. The printed designs are still intact with no crack or peel off after washing and wearing it.

As this t-shirt is made from cotton and Mr C finds them very comfortable to wear. The only annoying thing is the labels behind the neck area. I had to cut them all off as it irritates Mr C’s neck. It would be great if the labels were printed instead. Otherwise there is no fault at all. I think these are great products that you can buy it for your male family member or friends as a birthday gift. This is Mr C modelling the clothing.

Fireworks with Saltrock

This is our second year attending the fireworks at Tamworth castle grounds and once again it was a brilliant display. What more could you ask for when the event is free! Last year, we were lucky to not receive a parking fine, so this year, we parked at Ventura carpark and took a 15 minute walk to the location.

It was chilly but not too windy and it had stopped raining! We were all getting warm and cosy with our new Saltrock clothing. Did you know that Saltrock have recently grown, opening a number of new stores around the coastal parts of the UK and are up to lots of exciting new things?

International Walk To School with Hi-Gear

Every October is the International Walk To School month where primary school pupils from across the UK join forces with children in more than 40 countries worldwide to celebrate the benefits of walking to school. Even though we have to drive to another village, I park at the local pub car park and walk to school. Some of the parents do that and we often chat while walking together to school.

As autumn is here and the weather is getting colder, my family were thrilled to try out Hi-Gear jackets from Go Outdoors. These jackets are lightweight and comfortable to wear which will keep you warm at the right temperature. There is no more sweating inside a thick layer of coats. These jackets are just perfect for this weather! Ms C is wearing this cute reversible Hi-Gear Transformer Girl’s insulated jacket and Mr K is wearing this cosy Hi-Gear Transformer Boy’s insulated jacket.
