Ultimate Fathers Day Gift Guide

Are you feeling a little stuck or uninspired in the run up to fathers day? Or simply looking for something a little bit different or unusual? Well I have put together a fun and interesting gift guide which should of have something for everyone, regardless of budget. First of all some of you may already know I have been working with Braun and John personally put the beard trimmer to the test so if your looking to have your man neaten up his unruly beard than the Braun Beard Trimmer is a winner. If you want to tap into their interests wether he be an extreme junki, a fitness freak or rather prefer to spend his days with a beer in hand and a bbq going then these three options are worth looking at. First is the Black Belt Beer Box from Beer Hawk which includes 4 distinctly different beers along with a black belt beer guide so Dad can begin his journey of discovery, best of all it's currently selling for a special price of £12 (normally £20) If you are not 100% sure......

Street Style Sunday - Family style

So we have had a really fun action packed week, making the most of the sunny days and on the rainy ones we have been trying to sort out all of Mr A & Baby G's clothes for what is officially summer, as well as my own. As they are both growing so fast we decided to pop down to McArthur Glen  in Bridgend (which I will tell you more about soon) to pick up a few goodies for the family and see what Vans had in store for kids as Mr A thinks Vans and skateboarding is possibly the coolest thing ever and who am I to say anything different. Mr A in a cute Paul Smith tee from Melijoe  We have also been embracing shorts the past few weeks as well as the fact Mr A has gone up another shoe size - he has suddenly had a bit of a growth spirt and his Blue Canvas Nike trainers we got from Brantano two months ago finally fit, they are having a huge sale at the moment so it's really worth checking out as these were down from £32 to £16 Mr A wears - Paul Smith T-shirt, Gap k......

Street Style Sunday - Finding Normality

Wearing - Brookhaven leggings, H&M Mama tee, M&S jacket, Carlos bag, Nike trainers So around three weeks ago I gave birth to a cute little man which has meant some body changes have followed of course. I am slowly getting back into my pre-pregnancy clothes and although I am not quite there I am at least on course. I have been mixing up maternity and normal clothes together especially as I am breast-feeding and need loose tops to wear. I have been enjoying these soft Brookhaven leggings and treating my feet to these super comfortable Nike trainers. All I know is I cannot wait to go shopping and pick up a few new bits and bobs.  I am also really looking forward to spring and summer and warmer temperatures and I feel like this year is going to be all about Breton tops and sunglasses. Until then I am just enjoying being able to get back into my jackets and chambray shirts. Enjoying being back in my pre-pregnancy clothes  Also don't forget to ......

Flying feet, my new running shoes

I was lucky enough to be asked to do a review of running shoes from sportshoes.com and having done sport my whole life and now having a little one to run around after it's great to find that little bit of time to myself to keep fit, especially in the New Year. I can't remember the last time I have a new pair of gym/running shoes, my last pair are a good few years old and I was in a real need of an upgrade. I decided to try the Nike Lady Free Advantage 3.0 and my order was delivered super quick and the shoes fitted perfectly. They are literally the lightest sport shoes I have ever had and have been designed with female athletes in mind and use the new barefoot technology to design ultra-light shoes with super-flexiable support, breathability and multi-surface traction. In all the years I trained for sport (I represented South Africa in Judo) I have never had such comfortable and responsive trainers, I really feel like I have been missing something. They have ......
