<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have been searching for a unique timepiece for ages and was lucky enough to receive this beautiful wood watch from the team at Jord. When it comes to accessories and jewellery, I don't tend to wear lots but prefer to go for statement pieces, so this women's wooden watch is perfect. The watch is from Jord's Cora series and is Zebrawood with a Ros</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">é </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">face which I love as it adds a pop of colour to any outfit and looks really feminine. It is also ultra lightweight so for ladies with small wrists and arms it is really comfortable to wear.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Jord's wooden watches are made with 100% natural, hand finished wood and are presented in a beautiful cedar watch box so they are an ideal keepsake or gift. Jord offer a custom engraving service to add that personal touch to all of their wood watches and cedar watch boxes, making one of their unique watches the perfect gift idea for celebrations including birthdays, anniversaries, weddings or graduations.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Jord make both women's and men's wooden watches in a wide variety of colours and styles. The Cora Zebrawood Ros</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">é women's watch is self winding with sapphire crystal glass and genuine Swarovski crystal markers. This is the perfect fusion of nature with sparkle and glamour for a feminine, versatile women's watch to complement any outfit for this season. I was surprised at how reasonably priced the watch is at $275 (just over £200 plus free International shipping) particularly due to how unique it is and the quality of the craftsmanship. A Jord wood watch is arm candy that will definitely get you noticed!. I have had so many compliments and questions about it as it is such a unique watch that you do not see everyday.</span></div>

Probably the most irresistible characteristic of the Trench Coat is that it suits every body shape. Rather than drowning your curves, the tie detail cinches in at the waist to create an hourglass figure even over layers. By s</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">imply throwing it on over any outfit, a t</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">rench coat gives y</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">our looks an instant dose of chic from Autumn right through until Spring making it an investment worth making.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Whilst most of us would dream of investing in a designer Trench coat to see us through many an April Shower, a Burberry will set you back north of one thousand pounds. A sumptuous investment that is arguably these days not required due to the quality and design of</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> Trench coats available for a fraction of the cost on the high street. In fact, you can most certainly pick up a high calibre Trench coat for well under £100.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The key to a good quality Trench is all about the heritage details. A double breasted front with quality buttons, belted cuffs, epaulettes, gun flaps and quality lining all add up to a Burberry dupe-worthy trench. The length of a Trench is all about preference but pear shapes should opt for longer lengths and even petites can appear taller with longer calf length styles.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Trench coat is a classic for all seasons and occasions. It can be worn belted for a feminine fit or open for a relaxed look. A Trench coat can be teamed with heels and dresses for the evening or with clean white trainers and denim for daytime chic. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The classic camel or beige is the traditional Trench colour, but navy or khaki are popular alternatives.</span><br />

<b style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">How to choose the Best Swimwear for your Body Shape</b><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><u><br /></u></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The secret to choosing the best swimsuit is to choose a shape that highlights your best features and imitates that enviable hourglass figure. Some top tips when selecting the best swimsuit for your body shape are:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- Use a bright colour or pattern to highlight the best part of your body</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- Use a solid colour if you want to hide a certain part of your body</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- Ruffles help to accentuate an area and are great to give the illusion of bigger hips or bust</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- Ruched fabric helps to hide areas that you want to conceal and give the illusion of a flatter tummy</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- Halterneck styles draw attention to the bust</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- To create the illusion of longer legs opt for a style with high cut bottoms. Perfect if you are short or have a long torso</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- Strapless styles are great to divert the attention to the top half of the body and make the bust appear wider</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">- If you have a large bust then a wrap style or v-neck cut is the most flattering. It is important to feel comfortable and have the support you need so go for styles that are underwired and have thicker straps to maximise your assets.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">The Best Swimwear for your Body Shape</b><br />
<b style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></b>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Pear Shape</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Draw attention to the top half of the body by wearing a bandeau swimsuit, a high neck halterneck style or if you are feeling brave try a plunging neckline. Ruffles around the bust area are also great for pear shapes to add volume. High cut bottoms will accentuate your small waist and lengthen the legs and thighs.</span><br />
<b style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></b>
<b style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Hourglass Figure</b><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Opt for vintage cuts, bows and ruffles to accentuate your curves. Channel your inner Marilyn Monroe!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Apple Shape</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Create curves by going for a halterneck style with thicker straps. This will give you support and make your shoulders appear smaller. High leg bottoms will lengthen your legs and a sweetheart neckline will accenture your bust.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>Inverted Triangle</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Its all about support for Inverted Triangles so opt for styles that are underwired and give you the perfect fit. Halterneck styles are great for this bodyshape. Frills or ruffles that accentuate the bottom help to balance out proportions.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The most important thing to remember when selecting swimwear is that you need to feel confident and comfortable. By choosing swimwear to suit your bodyshape this will definitely help as you will look great, just by making the most of the body that you have.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Every girl needs to try the Secret Slimming Swimsuit range in M&S as it is guaranteed to boost your confidence. The Secret Slimming range features innovative technology with an inner layer that holds and flatters your figure. We all love M&S for their miracle working Shapewear underwear range and the Secret Slimming Swimwear range is equally as great.</span><br />
<br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This M&S Collection High Neck Swimsuit is great if (like me) you are a pear shape with a small chest and larger lower half of your body. The high neck attracts the attention to the top half of the body. The bold print hides any lumps and bumps not able to be sucked in by the Secret Slimming fabric and the colour suits pretty much all skin tones and complexions. If you have a larger chest then there are lots of other swimsuits in the Secret Slimming range specifically designed to maximise your assets, keeping you supported and comfortable.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There is so much pressure on women to look perfect these days, with social media and reality television painting an unrealistic picture of flat tummies, sculpted curves and ample chests. I recently watched the holiday video that Stacey Solomon posted celebrating her <i>'society labelled imperfections'</i>. I found her video really inspirational as I think she always looks stunning and a great role model for women by promoting natural, real beauty. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We are all different shapes and sizes, always wanting to loose or gain a few pounds because society says that we should fit a perfect mould. We often fail to remember that many celebrities usually fork out for personal trainers, work out everyday and have to stick to a strict diet to achieve their physique, something that us normal folk cannot even contemplate doing with our busy lives. Celebrities tend to have surgery to achieve what society thinks they should look like, whether it be bigger boobs, a smaller tummy or a wrinkle free forehead as their job is to be so perfect in the limelight. What we should also remember is that most celebrity photos are airbrushed to remove their 'imperfections' anyway!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So rather than stressing about working out for your 'Summer body', counting calories and sweating at the gym, why not embrace the beach by popping on your Secret Slimming Swimsuit, be confident in the body you have and eat another ice cream with a smile on your face!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Maxi dresses are the perfect summer staple and should feature in every wardrobe. They are the perfect cover up, easy to throw on and great to hide wobbly tummies or legs that haven't seen sunlight in months. Maxi dresses are really versatile as they can be worn day and night. No holiday suitcase should be without one! Maxi dresses are ideal as they suit every bodyshape but here are some tips to make sure that you get the best style to maximise your assets...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The key to getting the perfect fitting maxi dress is that you do not want to end up looking like you are wearing a sack! In order to accentuate your figure it is important to make the most of the best elements of your body shape.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><u><b>Maxi Dresses for Pear Shapes</b></u></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Pear shapes </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">(like myself)</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">with larger legs and bottom but with a small bust should opt for styles that draw the eye to the top half of the body, diverting from the larger bottom half. Bardot styles like this <a href="https://lookerhq.com/photo/3957" target="_blank">Frill Sleeve Maxi Dress</a> are ideal as the attention is focused on the bare shoulders and the detail hides a smaller bust. The simple tie waist on this maxi dress helps to accentuate the waist, creating curves for a more feminine silhouette. The frill sleeve also covers up the tops of the arms which is an area that many of us ladies prefer to hide.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><u>Maxi Dresses for Larger Busts</u></b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If you have a larger bust when choosing a maxi dress it is crucial that you opt for a figure hugging style as going for an option that does not give a cinched in silhouette may make you look larger than you actually are. Go-to styles for girls with a large bust are wrap maxi dresses and ones that highlight the waist to create an hourglass figure. Maxi dress styles to avoid if you have a larger bust are those with ruffles or pleats as these will add fullness to existing curves. If you feel more comfortable wearing a bra then opt for styles with thicker straps that do not dig into the shoulders and a higher neckline will avoid showing too much cleavage.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b><u>Maxi Dresses for Curvy Figures</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If you are blessed with a curvy figure when choosing a maxi dress it is important to accentuate your waist and choose a style that skims your silhouette but is not too clingy. Maxi dress styles that cinch in the waist are ideal for a curvy body shape. Large bold prints are more flattering and aim for thick straps or strapless rather than thin straps.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Midi dresses are a stylish, feminine option for many occasions and currently <a href="http://www.awin1.com/awclick.php?gid=122244&mid=3483&awinaffid=412077&linkid=255214&clickref=" target="_blank">The Vestry</a>
have some super slinky, celebrity inspired numbers on their website. U</span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">se my link at the bottom of the page to get 10% off your first order! My favourites are the Floral Print Kim Plunge dress in Tan and the plain Plunge Front Drape Midi Dress in Khaki. Both Vestry dresses are figure hugging and really stretchy so are comfortable to wear particularly if you are attending an all day event. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The wrap dress style with an asymmetric hem looks great on any body shape as it is super flattering to create an hourglass silhouette. The deep V neck plunge works for any bust size but perfect if you are lucky enough to have ample cleavage (which sadly I am not blessed with!)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Both dresses are available at <a href="http://www.awin1.com/awclick.php?gid=122244&mid=3483&awinaffid=412077&linkid=255214&clickref=" target="_blank">The Vestry</a>
with either long or cap sleeves and come in loads of different colours. The dresses work for both day and night occasions and can easily be dressed up or down making them a worthwhile investment for your wardrobe. I teamed mine with strappy heels but can't wait to also style them with flat sandals for my holidays.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Wrap dresses are currently on trend which is good news as they flatter pretty much all body shapes, making them a firm favourite and staple in our wardrobes. Wrap dresses accentuate feminine curves for those blessed with them and they create the illusion of curves for more athletic frames. In particular they work well for pear shapes, highlighting the smallest point at the waist. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If that wasn't enough of a reason to invest in a wrap dress, the thigh split detail of this Diane strappy dress makes it quite sultry, perfect for date night dinner and drinks.</span><br />

Slogan tees are everywhere on the high street at the moment so I picked up this Déjà vu number from Topshop which has rolled up sleeves and is a laid back fit without being baggy. There are loads of 'Femme' slogan tees out there at the moment which I also think look pretty cool and easy to wear with anything. I have no doubt this particular slogan tee will feature in many an outfit post as I think it would also work well with denim shorts for a beach vibe or with a skirt for a more feminine look.</span><br />

As Mother of the Groom, it can be a daunting prospect knowing that after the Bride and her Mother of corse, all eyes will be then be on your outfit. So in order to ensure that she was suitably dressed to impress for the occasion, my Mum enlisted my help as her Personal Stylist and I think that the outfit we picked together looked absolutely beautiful.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Mum has stunning blue eyes and striking silver hair so this Dress and matching Jacket from Fenn Wright Manson in John Lewis really compliments her features and skin tone. The top half of the dress has silver and blue embroidery which adds a subtle detailing to the outfit and the fit of the matching jacket shows this off perfectly. She wanted her look to be smart but comfortable and wearable for the whole day into the evening. The outfit is accessorised with an understated fascinator from Debut at Debenhams and Dusky Pink Suede Stiletto Sandals from Marks and Spencer.</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When selecting an outfit as Mother of the Bride or Groom, here are my tops styling tips to consider:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1. Colour </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The first thing to consider is what would be the most suitable colour for your outfit. As Mother of the Bride or Groom, like it or not you are a VERY important person at a wedding! What better excuse is there to dress to impress! </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is really important the outfits for the Mother of the Bride or Groom compliment, but are not the same as the Bridesmaids, the colour scheme of the wedding, or eachother for that matter! </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For this particular wedding the colour scheme was a deep royal blue and so knowing this beforehand helped to ensure that there were no colour clashes (which would not make for the best of family photographs now would they!) </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It is a great excuse for the Mother's of the Bride and Groom to get together to discuss their outfit thoughts and ideas as it builds their relationship and they can get excited about their siblings' special day together.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2. Shape and Style</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Go for a style that is slightly out of your comfort zone, but always ensure that the shape of the dress suits your bodyshape. For example, this dress from Fenn Wright Manson is perfect if you have wide hips and a small waist as it is cut to create an hourglass figure. The detailing at the top gives the illusion of a bigger bust which balances proportions. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Having a matching jacket that compliments the dress is an ideal way to complete the look and can hide the tops of arms which are usually a part of the body that us ladies like to cover up!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3. Length </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Length is also an important consideration and in general for a Mother of the Bride or Groom anything that sits on or below the knee is the best option to go for to ensure that you ooze class and elegance. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">4. Accessories</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Weddings are the perfect occasion to accessorise more than you would normally, but do so with caution! There is a danger of over-accessorising at weddings and I am a firm believer in 'less is more' when it comes to styling. When selecting a Mother of the Groom outfit it is worth asking the Mother of the Bride whether she is wearing a hat or not. For this particular wedding, the Mother of the Bride chose not to wear a hat but to wear a fascinator. Therefore, it felt appropriate for Mum as Mother of the Groom to also opt for a fascinator rather than a hat. She chose a colour to match her heels which I think looks really chic and understated, without being 'matchy-matchy'.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I think Mum looks fabulous even if I do say so myself! I was really proud of her on the day as she was super confident, which I definitely believe started with feeling great in her outfit as Mother of the Groom.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Weddings are my favourite occassion to offer Personal Styling Services so please get in touch if you have any questions or would like my help!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Yesterday it was my baby brother's wedding day! It was a beautiful wedding venue not far from where we live in the New Forest called Bartley Lodge. I cannot believe how quickly the day came and went in a flash. Luckily the weather stayed dry and meant we could enjoy the grounds of such a stunning venue.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My wedding guest outfit for the day was this Boutique Nikka Off Shoulder Lace Midi Dress from Boohoo. I teamed this Off the Shoulder Dress with rose gold heels from Public Desire via Asos and a clutch bag from New Look. I kept my jewellery simple wearing a rose gold choker and earrings, all from River Island.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I opted for the blush colour in the Off the Shoulder Dress which isn't normally something I would go for as I tend to pick shades of blue for special occasions. However, as I knew the bridesmaids were wearing blue and my Mum as Mother of the Groom was wearing a baby blue tone I knew I had to be brave and choose something different. When selecting an outfit for a wedding this is definitely something to consider, particular if you are part of the immediate family as you don't want to have any awkward colour clashing in the photos. Don't be afraid to ask the bride if you are unsure of what colour to wear.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One of my favourite things about weddings and special occasions is seeing everyone's gorgeous outfits as I love getting inspiration from their different styles and accessories. Yesterday everyone was dressed to impress but the bride (my new sister-in-law yay!) took my breath away as she looked so beautiful.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The collaboration incorporates the distinctive signature elements of Balmain design including craftsmanship and quality. Creative Director of Balmain, Olivier Rousteing, who dresses celebrities including Kim Kardashian West, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Rihanna, chose supermodels of the moment Jourdan Dunn and Kendall Jenner to unveil the key pieces of the Balmain X for H&M collection at the Billboard Music Awards.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Rousteing is one of the most followed French designers on Instagram with a growing network of over one million followers. It is therefore no surprise that for the launch of the Balmain X collaboration with H&M he is harnessing the power of social media by encouraging shoppers to take selfies of themselves wearing the Balmain X for H&M pieces that they have purchased from the collection and post it on Instagram using the hashtag <i style="background-color: white; color: #252525; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.4px;">#</i>HMBalmaination. Rousteing clearly respects the role of social media in shaping fashion, claiming that he personally checks out the hashtag and can't wait to see what people have bought from the collection. </span><br />

Peppered with Black and gold, fierce stripes, regal prints and masculine silhouettes, Balmain X for H&M is clearly going to be fast to sell and will feature in the wardrobes of only those quick enough off the mark to snap up these beauties!</span><br />

previously sold out, is now back in stock in Marks and Spencer in selected stores

Myself. Gavin and eight of our family and friends spent a long weekend staying in Bastille in the centre of Paris.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We were typical tourists, wanting to see as much as possible during our short getaway.On the Friday we visited the Salon du Running at Porte de Versailles so that I could hand in my medical certificate and collect my bib to run the marathon. We then went out for a burger in the evening in a TGI's style restaurant close to where we were staying.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On the Saturday I did not want to do a lot of walking as needed to rest my legs ready for the race so Gavin and I got on one of the Big Red Buses outside the Notre Dame and we literally sat on it for about 3 hours just relaxing and admiring the sites around Paris. This was my outfit of the day. I wore a really casual, comfortable ensemble consisting of my Mom Jeans, Converse and this warm, cozy long cardigan from Topshop which is just perfect to throw on over everything.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>The Notre Dame</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In my opinion the Notre Dame is one of the most beautiful buildings in Paris and it looked absolutely stunning during our city break. We did not get a chance to queue up to go inside the monumental building but we did get to admire it from the banks of the Seine and we stopped for a spot of lunch in a little cafe called the Esmeralda. It is a cute little cafe literally in one of the streets surrounding the Notre Dame. We also sailed past the Notre Dame on the Monday as we took the Bateaux Bus boat trip along the River.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I absolutely love the architecture in Paris. It seems that every street you turn the buildings are breathtaking and I am always inspired by the design and detail. The tall front doors, street cafes on the ground level and glorious windows with balconies overlooking views of the city of Paris are the signature of Parisienne architecture.</span><br />

To beat the post-marathon blues I thought I would share a Paris Marathon review and a few of my memories with you that I will cherish forever.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Paris Marathon 2015 was my very first marathon. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I set off for Paris on the Friday travelling on the Eurostar from Ebbsfleet with my support crew of friends and family. We arrived in Paris at lunchtime and took our luggage to our accommodation which was in Bastille, only a short metro journey from the Gare du Nord train station in central Paris.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Salon du Running - Porte de Versailles</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After a quick pit stop, I was really keen to head over to Porte de Versailles for the Salon du Running to hand in my medical certificate, collect my race number and Paris Marathon race goodies. Before any major city marathon there is usually an expo like this lasting a few days prior to the race which is basically where all the runners can start to absorb the atmosphere, pick up a few freebies and take a look at all the latest gadgets and running essentials.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Going into the Salon du Running and picking up my race number was when it suddenly hit me that I would be running a marathon that weekend! The names of all 54,000 runners were printed on a wall and you could find your name which was a great idea.There were lots of photo opportunities and loads of exhibitors to peruse. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Race Day</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On the day of the Paris Marathon I woke up feeling fresh, if a little nervous. The previous evening we had all stayed in our accommodation and my brother cooked a delicious spaghetti bolognese (the perfect pre-race carb loading meal) for us all to enjoy together and so that I could have an early night. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For my Paris Marathon breakfast I had my usual pre-run Ready Brek, cup of tea and fruit smoothie. Before a race it is really important that you do not change your usual routine. Throughout your training you will find what nutrition works best for you and that is the time to experiment, certainly not on race day as you want to be as focused as possible and not having to worry about having an upset tummy or feeling too full/ not full enough.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We set off to the start line which is on the famous </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #252525; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Avenue des Champs-Élysées and I made my way to my starting pen to prepare for the race. The atmosphere was fantastic, with so many nervous and excited runners all getting ready to make their way to the start line. One thing to be aware of at the Paris Marathon is that there are not many porta-loos in the pens before the start line, so there were really long queues. There are lots of toilets along the course but many runners just did a Paula Radcliffe and used the sides of the roads or behind trees!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The weather on the day of the Paris Marathon 2015 was really warm and sunny which was great for the spectators but was a little challenging for the competitors. The Paris Marathon race organisers were really well prepared, there were fuel stations every 5km throughout the race with water, bananas and even sugar cubes. Following these there were also cool-down zones with sponges and water as well as hoses spraying water over the runners to stop everyone from overheating.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">With 2 weeks to go until the Paris Marathon, it is now
time for me to taper and give my body sufficient time to rest and recover so
that I am ready for race day. I am
planning on reducing my weekly mileage by not including long runs, but instead
will be focusing on bursts of shorter training sessions to keep my muscles active
and in shape. The aim of marathon tapering
is to ensure that your body is able to fully fill up your tank of glycogen
stores which are essential for race day.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When preparing for a marathon, whilst the race is the crescendo
– the real marathon has been the training leading up to it. I can safely say that I have loved the
training – yes you read correctly, I have loved every single mile of long runs and
every interval of speed training. I have
embraced it as a journey that has made me stronger in mind and body. Hopefully this journey will have prepared me
sufficiently to achieve success in the Paris Marathon.</span></div>

I have really enjoyed training over the last couple of weeks as I have pushed myself by running longer distances and met lots of inspiring new runners in Salisbury Trail Running Club and Sweatshop Running Club in Southampton (SRC). I have never joined a Running Club before and by meeting new runners it has had a really positive influence on me personally. By running and chatting with like-minded individuals of all ages and abilities it has given me a new perspective on my training and improved my confidence. It has also helped to add diversity to my training by finding new routes (and some beautiful scenery) and also by not just running solo for all of my sessions like I have been used to.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You will see that I have also added Strength Training to my program to improve the conditioning of my muscles and to minimise the risk of injury, particularly with the increase in mileage. I had a personal training session at the gym just to get some professional advice about what to include for the best results. So I am now doing a mixture of lunges with added weight and goblet squats also with added weight.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When training for a race and increasing your weekly mileage it is really important that you do so in a controlled manner to avoid the risk of injury. Therefore, only increase your weekly mileage incrementally so that you can give your body time to build up to spending more time on your feet. It is not always the amount of miles you complete, but the quality of the workouts that will give you the best gains in your running.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Happy Training!</span><br />

Paris will be my first marathon and I know that it is not going to be an easy challenge.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The most difficult part of training for me is finding time and so it is important that I organise myself so that I make the most of the time that I do have. I work long hours leaving early in the morning and am not usually home until 8pm. I then rush out to the gym before getting home to eat late, then to bed, sleep and repeat. I found this week particularly difficult as I have been working in different locations with an even longer commute, so I have had to be really committed and resist the temptation to avoid the gym in favor of just getting home and laying in a nice hot bath.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My training this week:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Monday</b> - Rest following 9 mile long run on Sunday</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Tuesday</b> - 5km Treadmill run with mixed intervals</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Wednesday</b> - 1 mile treadmill warm up, strength training, 1 mile cool down</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Thursday</b> - Rest</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Friday</b> - 60 minutes steady Treadmill run 10.7km/hr (9 min/mile) average pace</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Saturday</b> - Rest</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Sunday </b>- Long Slow Run 13 miles (see Strava details below)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Total Weekly Mileage</b> - 24 miles</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I feel great after this weeks training and confident going forward. I have started to add strength training into my program to build muscle power in my legs which is something that I have been lacking.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have also been trying to consume more calories during the day as I tend to have a big breakfast, then not much during the day and then a huge dinner at around 9pm after the gym. I definitely need to drink more water as I am seriously lacking at this currently!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Last year I made the decision to start to take better care
of my skin on a daily basis and I posted a review of the <a href="http://youtu.be/gcbuC_vDOrY" target="_blank">Clinique 3 Step Skin Care System</a> that I had purchased in an attempt to do so.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have had many requests to make a follow up
review and so I have uploaded a follow up of the Clinique 3 Step Review to the
Laurashopaholic YouTube Channel.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><u><br /></u></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have always had very fair, sensitive skin and during my
teens it was very prone to acne and redness.
Ever since then my skin has been quite unruly; prone to breakouts,
oiliness and dry patches so I would describe it as being a combination skin
type. I wear foundation every day as I
am quite conscious of my complexion and therefore at night I need a deep
cleaning facial wash that removes all of my make-up, yet is gentle enough on my
sensitive skin. Prior to using the
Clinique 3 Step Skin Care System I had used many different cleansers and facial
washes, but never found anything that left my skin feeling clean without
leaving my pores feeling tight. I never
used a toner (I did not know their purpose) and I rarely used a moisturiser as
every type I tried left my skin feeling far too oily.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You can watch my review of the Clinique 3 Step products for my
thoughts on this skin care system, but ultimately I am delighted with the
results. I will definitely be continuing
to use the products as I am finally happy with a skin care routine that is
quick and easy to follow, delivering a noticeable difference to the way my skin looks and
feels. I now feel much more confident
with my skin and tend not to wear such a thick layer of foundation and
concealer like I used to prior to using the Clinique Skin Care products.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><u><br /></u></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you are tired of having skin that is acne prone, red and
sore with dryness patches and you are in search of having skin that feels
hydrated and has a healthy glow rather than an oily shine, then the Clinique 3
Step System is definitely worth giving a go.
It may seem expensive initially, but it is without doubt a worthwhile
investment to look after your skin. You
do not need to use a huge amount of the products everyday so they actually work
out as being quite economical as they last for months! I would recommend taking the time to speak to
a professional at one of the Clinique counters so that they can select the best
products to match your own personal skin type and help to solve your skin care
problems.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Dubai is a great destination to
visit if you are looking for a holiday with plenty of sun guaranteed at pretty
much any time of the year. To date we have visited for a week in both
late May and late November and have had unbroken sunshine throughout.
Temperatures were higher in May, but almost heading towards becoming a little
uncomfortable particularly if you are keen on lying on the beach all day and in
the evenings there was little or no breeze. However, in late November the
temperature in Dubai whilst still being 30 degrees C plus every day, was a
little more comfortable.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Dubai is becoming increasingly
more popular amongst tourists from across the globe as a popular holiday
destination. Renowned for its luxurious accommodation including the
world’s only 7 star rated hotel (Burj Al Arab) and the Atlantis which has its
own aquarium and waterpark, Dubai is a fantastic location if you are looking
for a holiday to relax and unwind, yet still have plenty to keep you
entertained should you wish.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Jumeirah<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Beach Resort (JBR) is a resort that
has rapidly grown over recent years and is becoming increasingly popular with
tourists as it is a luxurious yet non pretentious atmosphere. JBR is a
short 30 minute taxi ride away from Dubai DXB Airport and is also easily
accessible via the Metro line. The resort is just along the coast from
The Palm, infact you can see the Atlantis and The Burj Al Arab from JBR.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

Resort including the usual Hilton, Sheraton and DoubleTree by Hilton. As
a young professional couple with no children, we have stayed at the Sofitel and
the Amwaj Rotana hotels during our time in JBR, both of which we would highly
recommend to others. Both hotels are luxurious, yet affordable (albeit we
do tend to get last minute deals using Expedia). They are always clean
and friendly, with approachable not pushy customer service. Both hotels
have fantastic healthclub facilities (gym, sauna, steam room, treatment rooms)
and relaxing outdoor pools. The Amwaj Rotana and the Sofitel are
literally within a minutes’ walk of each other and directly overlook JBR
beach. We have stayed at both hotels on a bed and breakfast basis only,
as we do not tend to eat a large lunch whilst on holiday and enjoy going out to
sample a variety of restaurants rather than having to endure the same hotel
buffet spread every night you can get with some all inclusive packages.
The breakfast buffet offer in both The Amwaj Rotana and The Sofitel is
extensive, serving both cooked and continental styles.</span></div>

Resort is the perfect destination to suit a range of different holiday
preferences. If you like to spend your days lounging by the pool or
soaking up the sun at the beach, then dining at restaurants overlooking the sea
by night then JBR is the ideal place for you. Equally, if you have
children or if you prefer to have more variety and explore further afield in
Dubai then JBR is also for you.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">During the day the atmosphere is relaxed
and peaceful. There are many families and a wealth of different cultures
at the resort. The beach is clean and there are playparks for children
both on the beach and in the water. If you are a couple looking for peace
and quiet then do not let this put you off as despite JBR being very family
friendly, it still remains relaxing during the day. If you stay at
The Rotana or The Sofitel they provide you with complementary beach packs which
include towels, a beach mat, water and an umbrella.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the
evenings JBR becomes more bustling with the sound of Arabic music and the sweet
smell of shisha smoke. There are a huge variety of restaurants and coffee
houses. There are also shops including places to pick up souvenirs and
tourist gifts from Dubai, there is Victoria Secret, Sephora and various
clothing stores if you fancy a holiday splurge without going too far
afield. You could quite easily spend your holiday without
setting foot outside JBR. However, should you wish to visit more of
Dubai, you are not far away from all of the tourist spots. The tram
network has just recently been complete in JBR which means you can quickly and
easily reach the main metro line to take you across Dubai.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Whilst in Dubai it is worth
visiting The Palm to see The Atlantis and The Burj Al Arab hotels. For
all you Shopaholics The Dubai Mall is definitely a must which is the world’s
largest shopping mall and here you can also visit the Burj Khalifa</span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="color: red; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">which is the world’s tallest building. If you are visiting
the Burj Khalifa then be sure to book your tickets online beforehand as they
are always sold out. We tried to book tickets a couple of days in advance
and even then they were still all sold out so do not make this mistake, book
before you travel! From JBR The Dubai Mall can be accessed directly via
the Metro line in about 30 minutes and costs about £8 for two people. The
Burj Khalifa stands directly outside The Dubai Mall and in the evenings there
are regular watershows accompanied by music in the lake surrounding the
building. The Dubai Mall is literally a heaven for Shopaholics and despite
being one myself I have to admit I was somewhat overwhelmed by the sheer
vastness of shops under one roof! There is a Bloomingdales and various
other well known retailers including H&M, Forever 21, New Look, Lush, Jo
Malone, MAC and Marks & Spencer along with countless jewellery, accessory
and electrical stores. The Dubai Mall also has its own Ice Rink and
Aquarium.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

by<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><span style="background: white; color: #222222;">Jumeirah</span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>Beach to cool down in the shade.
Fruteiro do Brazil is an amazing smoothie bar as it only uses fresh
fruits. I would highly recommend a ‘Make your own smoothie’ packed with
fresh pineapple, papaya, banana and pineapple or a ‘Recharger’ smoothie which
is crammed with acai berries.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When dining out in the evenings
there are loads of options along the JBR promenade. We have eaten at The
House of Curry (obviously for curry – their Tikka Massala is delicious!),
Aprons & Hammers (Seafood), Fratelli la bufala (Italian – I would recommend
their seafood risotto). When at The Dubai Mall there are also loads of
dining options, whether you prefer fast food or a nice evening meal there is
plenty to choose from. We ate at The SocialHouse (a mix of dishes from
east and west – I recommend the mozzarella to start and their signature Burger
for main). The SocialHouse is a relaxed diner (similar to TGI’s
style). My favourite quote from The SocialHouse decor was ‘Did you know
that STRESSED is DESSERTS backwards!’ We then had a Starbucks tea
afterwards outside watching the watershow beneath the Burj Khalifa.</span></div>

restaurants do not sell any alcohol, if you would like an alcoholic beverage
then you can purchase these to drink at your hotel before you go out to dinner
or when you return. If this is a problem and you like a bottle of red or
white with your evening meal then you can easily dine at the restaurants in the
hotels. However, the restaurants along JBR promenade do sell fantastic
non-alcoholic cocktails including my holiday favourites a Pina Colada and the
family friendly named ‘Fun on the Beach’.</span></span></span><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Prices to eat out at the restaurants in Jumeirah Beach Resort are reasonable when it comes to holiday dining. For example, for a meal for two with starters, mains and non-alcoholic cocktails it cost us the equivalent of 300 AED (roughly £60). Bearing in mind that all of the Food and drink has to be imported this is not bad and the quality of the cuisine is worth paying for.</span><br />

The dress is a lovely skater style shape in a lightweight material and has a gorgeous low back. The nautical pattern of this <a href="http://tinyurl.com/ps4f3o3" target="_blank">SheInside stripe dress</a> is a must-have for a Winter Sun break (or even to buy now and keep for next Summer!) This dress is also featured in my <a href="http://youtu.be/bJe0tuwnqZE" target="_blank">SheInside Haul</a> video on the Laurashopaholic YouTube Channel.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This <a href="http://tinyurl.com/ps4f3o3" target="_blank">SheInside stripe dress</a> is great value and I was really pleased with the quality of the item. SheInside is a great website that I often use to snap up on trend pieces at reasonable prices. If you are thinking of a Winter Sun holiday to battle away the cold, dark, wet weather at home and you need to refresh your holiday wardrobe then SheInside is a great website to take a look at. If you need the items in a hurry, just bear in mind that the standard shipping will take a little longer.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When going on a Winter Sun break, as all of the clothes on the high street are for the cold, wet weather it is always good to know of some go-to websites where you can pick up some instant summer holiday wardrobe updates. You can read my <a href="http://laurashopaholic.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/sheinside-review.html" target="_blank">SheInside Review</a> if you have never purchased from the website before.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hello Shopaholics! This week we decided to jet off to Dubai
for some Winter Sun. If you have not
been on a winter sun holiday before then I would highly recommend it. That time of year when the days become
shorter and temperatures colder, it is always good to get away for relaxation,
a much needed boost of Vitamin D and a healthy glow before the Christmas season
kicks in.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When booking a Winter Sun escape, bearing in mind in the UK
by this time of year the high street is full of faux fur and heavyweight knits,
I did not even attempt make any last minute holiday purchases. However, there are still some great finds
online if you want to snap up a few new outfits for your winter sun holiday. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Dubai is a great destination for a Winter Sun break as you
are guaranteed hot sunshine and if you book a last minute trip you can pick up
some great value luxurious accommodation. We came to Dubai for the first time in May
this year and loved it so much that we thought it would be the perfect place to
come to chill out for a week this Winter.</span> </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This outfit from our Dubai trip is a playsuit that I picked up from Primark a few months back for about £16. The colour of the print makes this the ideal holiday outfit and actually looks more upmarket than Primark in my opinion. I saw a skirt with a very similar print and colour to this in Topshop. Playsuits are my go-to item when packing for any holiday as they are so versatile and can be worn during the day at the beach or can be dressed up in the evening for dinner.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I teamed the Jumpsuit with my Topshop Keepsake Boots and I styled my hair with my HairRehab London By Lauren Pope Clip-in Plait. The HairRehab Clip-in Plait is so easy to use especially when you are on holiday and want fuss-free hair after a day at the beach.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today’s outfit of the day is what I wore for an evening out whilst
away on holiday in Dubai and features a <a href="http://tinyurl.com/od2upnh" target="_blank">White Crop Top</a> that I purchased from
SheInside. I featured this top in my <a href="http://youtu.be/bJe0tuwnqZE" target="_blank">SheInside Haul</a> video on the <a href="http://youtube.com/laurashopaholic" target="_blank">Laurashopaholic YouTube Channel</a> earlier in the year, but this Crop Top can still be purchased now! I also have a <a href="http://laurashopaholic.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/sheinside-black-crop-top-ootn.html" target="_blank">Black SheInside Crop Top</a> in this style which I featured previously on my Blog. We stayed in Dubai for a week
to get some Winter Sun and relax before the busy Christmas rush begins.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We stayed at the<span style="color: red;"> </span>Amwaj Rotana
in the Jumeirah Beach Resort (JBR) area of Dubai. I would highly recommend this area of Dubai
if you are looking for a luxury, relaxing break in the sun and it is also great
for families. We visited JBR back in May
this year, but stayed at the Sofitel Hotel which was literally round the corner
from the<span style="color: red;"> </span>Amwaj Rotana. Both hotels are of equally great standard and
I would recommend staying at either of them if you are planning on visiting
Dubai. JBR is a popular resort in Dubai
and is full of luxurious hotels and restaurants. Since we visited back in May, the tram
network has also now been finished which makes it really easy to travel around
Dubai as it links directly to the main metro line which runs across Dubai. We used the metro to get to the Dubai Mall
one evening and a return ticket for two people from </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Jumeirah</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Beach Resort cost
about £8 which is pretty reasonable.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I wore this outfit one evening in Dubai. We took a leisurely stroll
along the promenade and then had a delicious curry at the House of Curry which
literally overlooks the beach, as do most of the lovely restaurants that we ate
at during the course of the week. I have
been wanting to wear this maxi skirt for ages as I picked it up in the Topshop
sale at the end of the Summer but since the weather has not been that brilliant
I haven’t had the opportunity to wear it.
I saw this skirt in Topshop when it was full price (£65 if I remember
rightly) and loved it but they did not have my size, so when I saw it in my
size AND in the sale I just had to snap it up.
The colours and the print of the maxi skirt are bold and so I wanted to
keep my top simple, so opted for my <a href="http://tinyurl.com/od2upnh" target="_blank">White Crop Top</a> from SheInside. This <a href="http://tinyurl.com/od2upnh" target="_blank">SheInside Crop Top</a> is so versatile and such good
value. I also have this <a href="http://tinyurl.com/od2upnh" target="_blank">crop top</a> in
Black, also from SheInside which also goes with so many different outfits. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I think that the maxi skirt works well with this <a href="http://tinyurl.com/od2upnh" target="_blank">White SheInside Crop Top</a> because it is high waisted there is no tummy on show. I love the shape of the <a href="http://tinyurl.com/od2upnh" target="_blank">SheInside Top</a> as it
has a high neck which is slightly cut in.
It also has a zip up the back and the material is really stretchy so it
is super comfortable. I think that this

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Yankee candles are perfect for creating a relaxing, cosy atmosphere
and what better way to treat yourself than when they are on special offer in
Boots. Yankee Candles are now part of
the <a href="http://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=2041&awinaffid=184769&clickref=boots%203%20for%202&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.boots.com%2Fen%2FChristmas%2FChristmas-offers-events%2F3-for-2-Mix-Match%2F" target="_blank">Boots 3 for 2 mix and match</a> Christmas gift deal. As the nights draw in and start to get
chilly, I love to light up a Yankee candle to unwind with a gorgeous scent and
the gentle flicker of light.</span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Yankee Candles are a luxury treat as they are usually quite expensive, so it is great that Boots have included them in their 3 for 2 special offer deal. <a href="http://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=2041&awinaffid=184769&clickref=boots%203%20for%202&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.boots.com%2Fen%2FChristmas%2FChristmas-offers-events%2F3-for-2-Mix-Match%2F" target="_blank">Boots</a> stock a wide range of Yankee Candles and Yankee Candle Gifts including the popular Christmas Yankee Candles.</span></div>
