Family Corner : Maternity & Newborn

 By: Unknown    01:32  No comments

I'm starting off with an apology, my trip to Rome and planning away for approaching fashion weeks meant I lost a bit of control with trying to put up certain posts on certain days and my weekly Friday Family Corner post got a bit sidelined. This week at least it's just one day late at least, I think writing about this on Valentine's is fitting - I know there's going to be lots of chocolates and food and roses and hugs and kisses around and social media postings of said gifts. My post today is a shopping post dedicated to those celebrating the love of a newborn child (by buying them clothes :P) or the love of an approaching child (by buying yourself clothes). 

As mentioned before KIABI are my sponsors for this family series and I think their maternity range is one of the cleverest (read comfortable and easy to wear) around ..their kiddie clothes are adorable. 

I have a niece to buy for now - yipeeee - which might be a good time to point out that my choice of newborn clothes might be a bit gender biased - sorry !! .

So here goes some shopping options:

Jeans with a comfortable , soft waistband

 Simple, pretty, bright, long tunic top

Greattt denim dress - lovee this one

And for the little ones - a scrumptious does of cuteness

 Tooooo cute

And some more Maternity Clothes Options in this slideshow below - ten points for that long black cardigan and the pretty monochrome dress

Shopping : Lingerie 4 Valentine @KIABI

 By: Unknown    03:00  No comments

When it comes to lingerie and underwear, my brain is always a bit twofold. On the one hand, I love the idea of beautiful, silky, luxurious lingerie, on the other hand it's underwear, its worn and washed a lot and sometimes the cheaper stuff is more hard wearing. I've decided to own both kinds and use accordingly but I really do thing there is a big case for cheaper clothing when ti comes to underwear and just general lounge-at-home-clothes.

That's why I've decided to focus this shopping post on KIABI's lingerie and underwear, a shop renown for its 'little prices' . Since Valentine's Day is soon coming up I've focused a bit on the red's and pinks and the some of the sexier garments but there's a couple of cute things thrown in.

First up is that corset in the pic above - maybe it should be used before dinner rather than after - definitely will look better on a less -full stomach.

Next is this red, push up bra that's just 10 euros.

And there's a few more things in this slideshow below ...





Because there has to be something cute - here's a pair of Michy Mouse slippers - loveee them




And I couldn't fail to mention that they have slimming and curve enhancing effect lingerie - high useful for under that Valentine's Day outfit

Shopping Post : A Look at Boux Avenue

 By: Unknown    07:03  No comments

As promised, I'm sticking to my new year's resolution to hit one shop a week with my camera and show you the new stock trickling in for Spring/Summer. This week's edition is Boux Avenue....I hate saying this but for those people still in the dark about Boux Avenue, it replaced La Senza at the Plaza...yes that is NOT La Senza..it is Boux Avenue, a more upmarket, more luxurious lingerie store.

The new collection is lovely....there are many different ranges...some pieces are totally seductive and very sexy (might be a good valentine gift idea to buy our men ..right? :P I think it is totally justified.....), others are cute as pie...and for all the soon-to-be brides out there, there are also some lovely and original bridal-related pieces and as always the cutest, loveliest accessories.

oooh la la !

Gorgeous, gorgeous piece....any men reading this ? Your Valentine will definitely appreciate this...

Love this too!

cute and pretty!

Love this collection!

Such Sweet Accessories!

Bridal Sweetness at its best!!

Shopping Post : What your Valentine Really Wants

 By: Unknown    01:45  No comments

The other day, I was speaking to some of my girlfriends and we got talking about the approaching Valentine's Day; interestingly enough it seems like the rate of women receiving unwanted gifts that they don't have the heart to exchange is alarmingly high. Others also lamented the fact that they never get anything more original than a box of chocolates and/or flowers. Sooo, apparently the men folk need some direction for Valentine...maybe a little nudge to think outside the box and go for something which will be a bit more appreciated.

I decided I need to give the menfolk a helping hand and here it is; for this post, I collaborated with Armani Jeans and Tommy Hilfiger both at Baystreet and chose my top 5 Valentine's Day Gifts from each of these stores. Both these stores are open till 10 p.m. and also on Sunday, so they're super great for those really busy men; otherwise read as NO EXCUSES!

So as you can see from the pic above I've chosen  5 different items:

•  A classic trench coat, every woman needs a beautiful, classically cut, trench coat; ideally in a nude shade so it can be worn with anything and everything.
• A colourful everyday bag for Spring; this PVC, fun bag is easily cleaned, not delicate and can work really well as an everyday bag.
• A scarf, women can never have enough scarves so this is an easy one, pick a bright colour for Spring.
• A patterned, elegant blouse, since Spring and Maltese hot weather is just around the corner, it's time to think about loose fitting, slink bright tops; we'll soon be putting away the blacks.
• For those men whose Valentine truly loves fashion this orange blazer is a true  statement piece - guaranteed to garner lots of hugs and kisses.

Again, as before I've chosen  5 different items:

•  A lovely tote bag in a muted, bright coral 
• Lime jeans are set to be one of the hottest things this new season...it is essential hat they fit well , so a well tailored pair is necessary.
• As I mentioned before, you can't go wrong with a scarf; this one is particularly lovely.
• A super-cute, floral, shift dress that melted my heart, for all those ladies that love sweet, pretty things.
• For those ladies that love sweet, pretty things but hate dresses, there are also trousers in the same pattern! Slinky, comfy, loose fitting, trousers!

Good Luck Men!
