Under it all....

-
So a lot of my posts, well all of my posts feature on what people can see all of the time. Clothes, make up, hair, homeware. So for a change I thought I would shine a light on the world of under wear! I mean every girl loves nice under wear and I'm sure every man does too (wanting to look like David Beckham at the moment I imagine.)

There's always something about  having nice underwear on, now don't get me wrong I am a huge fan of the Bridget Jones knickers, you know the ones that sort of meet your bra and make you look like your wrapped in bandages. But the do squish everything in. HOWEVER I have never loved underwear as much as the items I buy from Boux Avenue.

Not only are the Boux Avenue stores adorable, everything down to how they wrap the products to the carrier bags are so pretty! It helps having nice carrier bags especially in Cardiff because we have to pay for them. They also do the most adorable pjs too! So whether you are looking for day to day or your winter snugglies here are some of my top picks!

Bras

Boux Avenue do the usual cotton t-shirt bras and every type of strap you could imagine. But I am going to focus on something a bit more special. They are always a great fit and my buys from here have survived longer than any other underwear!


This balconette bra is £24 and is so cute! Balconette bras are good if you are a bit bigger busted because they don't have such a full cup.

For a more girly look opt for this pink ruffled bra. (The paleness of the model freaks me out slightly here) but it still looks lovely! And remember ruffles make your boobs look bigger! Which if you are like me, and you are not blessed with the biggest of boobs is a god send!

p.s this is only £18!


This plunge bra is a bit more sexy, it isn't the kind you can wear under anything tight fitting due to the bows and lace but it is really nice! In real life the colours really pop against each other too! Plunge bras will also give you a bit of a boost!

Knickers

Knickers are the hardest thing to buy I think! You want a matching set but you don't want to just buy ten of the same pairs, and there are SO many different styles it's hard to decide!
So my personal go tos are shorts! Because if you have a bit more junk in the trunk like me you kind of want to make sure everything is covered!

Now from having girly chats I know that a lot of girls prefer smaller knickers but for me these are just SO cute. They are a bit more pricey but it is worth it!

You can also get full lace shorts that are a lot cheaper at £8 and are great because they won't give you a VPL!

Another favorite style of mine is the really beautifully designed briefs that Boux Avenue sell! Now I've never really understood wearing thongs because I can't help but think it is like having a permenant wedgie but that could just be me! So instead opt for these flirty briefs.

These are all only £9 and even better they are 3 for 2!! 

Nightwear

People often feel comfortable in different nightwear. Personally I like shorts and a loose top or night shirts,  some people love matching thick sets others like barely anything! I think when it comes to nightwear it is purely down to what you feel comfortable. Boux Avenue have LOADS of different styles for you to choose from!


This Teddy is SO cute! Embellished around the neck and legs this is perfect and light weight for summer sleeping.

One of the most comfortable things to sleep in are these night shirts, inspired by boyfriends shirts these are the epitome of comfort!

If you are more of a snuggler and love nothing more than winter pjs then take a look at these! I know for a fact my best friend will LOVE these!

Ditsy print bottoms. Light weight and can be mix and matched with any top fitting the season!

And for the ultimate snuggle! This robe is only £36 and will see you all the way through winter!

Not only do Boux Avenue run a lot of instore and online offers they also have free delivery over £50, mix and match on knickers and beautiful gift wrapping!
Also if you join their VIP club not only do you get email updates of new stock and offers but you get a stunning loyalty card that will look lovely in your purse ;)

Just remember ladies what goes on under it all is just as important!

Seth Cohen was my first love

The last month or so has flown by! As if we are already in July. Terrifying. I've been a bit slow on the blog posts lately, I've sort of felt a lack of inspiration to write about much but something yesterday spurred on my need to write. ALEXA CHUNG IS DESIGNING HER OWN LINE. Yes that is right, our favourite style icon is finally adding to her mark on the fashion world with her own collection.  This got me thinking about how quickly your taste and opinions on everything change. From clothes you like to food you eat. So I thought I would take a look at some of my first favourites I'm talking teenage years by the way this isn't going to be a break down of my first word and hair cut. 1. First TV Addiction - The OC Seth Cohen was my first love. Hands down, his geeky little comments and penguin jumpers were all I needed through the OC. I actually remember it was on every Tuesday night and it was the highlight of the week! Also I mea

Next festive competition

So feelingstylish.co.uk is running a competition for us bloggers to create a Christmas window for Next. All you have to do is simply design your window using next products and submit your entry in a comment on the feelingstylish.co.uk blog. I have done my own entry (I will admit it is hard to create the window and make it look realistic so make sure you explain your concept) My window focuses on a pale colour scheme. It is extremely feminine and not obviously Christmas themed in the way that there is no red or gold to be seen! I chose to use the two glitter Christmas trees as features as they are adorable! I would actually have the fairy lights on the left wrapped through the branches of the trees for a more whimsical feel. I have then chosen two party dresses. Seeing as party season is all about the sparkle I chose to pale pink numbers both embellished beautifully with sequin. They are both quite loose fitting and therefore PERFECT for when you've eaten a bit too

Money vs Style

As I sit here next to my best friend searching Amazon for a cheap pot of OPI muppets collection I can't help but wonder if having more money makes it easier to be more stylish?  Think about it..... Being a student means I am poor 99% of the time apart from my birthday or Christmas. Luckily for me it is my 21st birthday on Sunday and therefore had the luxury of having over 200 pounds to spend on of course clothes! Although I wanted my Mulberry Bayswater for my birthday I was EVEN more over joyed to unwrap my beautiful Michael Kors rose gold watch off my parents. (partly because it is extremely shiny) but mainly because this is the first truly expensive item I have really owned. The first thing I know I will keep for the rest of my life.  So does money make you more stylish? Look at celebrities, they are always the ones captured and photographed for the style pages of magazines, so why not photograph normal people? I know that people are not really interested in those "normal
