#FWTHROWBACK COMPETITION

Good evening to my lovely readers. 

Fashion World got in touch with me and asked if I could let you know about a Competition they are running at the moment, They have teamed up with Best Daily Magazine to give you the chance of winning a £150 holiday shopping spree to spend on Fashion worlds fabulous swimwear and fashion. 

To win this fabulous prize they are asking you to recreate one of your throwback holiday pictures, I had a look through mine but I haven't been on holiday in about 10 years so had to go way back to a picture of me as a kid, I hid from cameras for most of my teenage years!

I did find a fabulous photo of me stomping along at the beach at Gaerloch North West Highlands, I am not really sure how old I am in the picture but it is a typical one of me! Now to recreate this photo I couldn't really make it to the beach so instead it is in my other favourite place to chill out, my garden, it is a mess at the moment as the lawn needs sorting but I sit out on my swing most days and just relax. 

So here is my Throwback picture!

My throwback beach attire is now my working in the garden outfit!

So why not have a go it is great fun looking back at all my old photos and there are some real gems!

Here are the instructions from Fashion World which you can find on the Competition link.

1. Find your vintage holiday photo and recreate it...

2. Follow us on Twitter @FashionWorld_UK or Instagram @FashionWorld_co_uk

3. Upload the old photo and recreation photo to Twitter or Instagram with the

The competition ends Tomorrow 19th June at Midnight (GMT) so hurry if you fancy having a go.

Have fun and I hope one of you wins :)

New Look summer Wishlist

Good evening my lovely readers. At the moment I am addicted to window shopping so when New Look asked me to pick some of my summer favourites, I said yes instantly, I never pass up the chance to shop!

I am obsessed with dresses again this year which is no surprise! I really do have far too many or maybe its not nearly enough......

I have fallen in love with the following bits and pieces

I have fallen in love with maxi's again this year but I still need to find the perfect strapless bra! But this one will be first on my list when it does, it just feels so summery and like I should be swanning about on a lovely beach.

This floral dress is perfection! I ordered it and am in love, it doesn't have quite enough room in the bust for me, shirt dresses are the bane of my life! but sewing up the buttons works fine for me usually so going to give it a try.

I still love a good bird print and this one is firmly on my radar!

Panache Swimwear - Review

I was recently gifted the stunning Tallulah Swimsuit from Panache to review, I was instantly attracted to the deep blue colour and the vibrancy of the print.

I love a good tankini but sometimes I like the simplicity of a swimsuit, especially when swimming at the local swim centre, bikinis and tankinis I find best for holidays.

The Tallulah is sized by bra sizes which for me is perfect, I have tried many dual sized swimsuits that say they are suitable for G-H cups and have found them to be useless.

My usual bra size is a 38H, but I find sometimes in swimwear that the back feels off so I asked for this to be sent in a 40H and it is perfect, it is supportive and comfortable, and encompasses my ample bust fully which when I am swimming for fitness is very important to me.

The back closes with a bikini clasp, I usually prefer a bra strap closure, but this one feels sturdy and like it will stand up to regular use.

The colours in real life really are gorgeous, I am not shy about colour in my clothing and blues are some of my favorites to wear, the solid colour side panels give a nice curve effect to my shape which is great if that is important to you.

This swimsuit is bright, colourful and fun, without being garish it isn't really one that lets you fade into the background, so if you want to be noticed and you are not afraid to be seen I highly recommend it.

Panache have an amazing range of swimwear and most patterns come in a full range of styles to suit everyones tastes, I have my eye on the high waisted briefs and the bikini top in the Tallulah at the moment, but I just need a holiday to wear it on.

What is your swimwear preference, Bikini, Tankini or swimsuit? 

Head over and take a peak at the Panache range, I think you will like it. 

I am going to leave you with a little list of my current favourite songs that are keeping me in the summer spirit.

My choices are weird compared to most but these are what I am listening to at the moment :)

Tenacious D - Wonderboy

Tenacious D - Tribute

Mumford and sons - Babel

Lady Antebellum - We owned the night

Biffy Clyro - God and Satan

Not your usual summer anthems I know but all me.

What is your summer anthem?
