UK Edge

I like to compare this brand to an Indie rock band, unique in style, inexpensive products and a closer connection to the fans than bigger artists.

The Creator of UK Edge, Christina shares her love for fashion, particularly accessories through beautiful pictures on her website and being able to sell pieces that differentiate to what her friends wear year after year to complete an outfit. We both have the same view that even one accessory can make a difference to an outfit, and the products UK Edge has to present allows the public to do this but with a distinct twist.

The other bonus is that the prices are ridiculously reasonable! Prices of high street shops were also something that needed tackling and UK Edge manages to cut the mainstream but maintain the high quality we all look for in accessories.

In relation to the connection to the fans, on the website, there's a section called "Your5Mins" which is a place for you, as customers or 'fans' to email in or tweet/instagram with the #Your5Mins pictures of you in the accessories to show other visitors of the website ways to style the pieces and have your own 5 minutes of fame!

There are big plans for the future including pop up stalls for festivals and around the country so keep your eyes peeled by following the social media which will be linked at the end of the post.

On top of this fantastic news, there is 25% off all items this week to celebrate the heatwave of the UK (finally) with the Promo Code: 2015SUN.

The sunnies I purchased are the 3035's Blanco and were only £12.99 and I prefer them even to my Urban Outfitters ones that I wear constantly on this blog so yeah they're pretty fab:P I thought it only appropriate with the name UK Edge to take the pictures on the coast of the UK on my town's beach -                                                                         Enjoy!

C'etait Incroyable...

Paris was like my Bali - soul cleansing. It was the perfect weekend away and ideal for a break before exams. It was a dream with the couture, champagne and crepes.

I've never really been drawn to big cities like London or Tokyo, due to how modern and industrial they have become. However Paris's architecture is hands-down my favorite that I've seen. The long windows with intricate balconies, kilograms of gold and copper shower the roofs and the oxygen from the crisp air reacts with the copper of the roofs to create a beautiful turquoise shell for the historic buildings.

In contrast with the hectic streets like the Champs Élysées, the Sacre Couer is so peaceful and tranquil, you can't believe that you're in a capital city. That was a very emotional moment, being able to look over the whole of Paris and barely hearing a peep (I cried:P).

Galeries Lafayette is enormous, I was not expecting it to be so beautiful and cultural. Every inch is filled with either designer pieces or the high street's best. I bought a few things in Topshop and Urban Outfitters, both outfits are on my Instagram @cerysmyfanwy along with more pictures of Paris if you want to have a look.

Oh and the most important thing - the food. Magnifique. I had the best steak of my life in Relais de l-Entrecôte alongside beautifully fried chips. The attitude towards food in Paris and the rest of France is totally different to the UK and a lot of First World countries and it has changed my perspective. You should eat food to enjoy it and for the taste, not just for the sake of eating, or because of boredom.

That's all I have to say because genuinely there are no words to describe this trip, hopefully these pictures will tell more about the stay. I might do another post in a few months that's more of a "Guide to Paris" from my perspective to give recommendations and comments on the places I went to. But for now, enjoy this collection of pictures, I hope the beauty of this city translates through these pictures :)

Sunday Best

Sunday's are always a favourite for me; lie-ins til noon, drinking tea and watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S. However Sunday the 21st of June this year was slightly more active than your average Sunday. We went to meet up with some friends in a very quaint and traditional pub in Bristol. An unexpected ray of sunshine greeted us and I could wear this outfit without shivering once.

With Summer paying a visit in the UK, I opted for a neon skort to accompany the sun and to contrast with a black racer style crop top from Topshop (a rhyme!)

My skort, shoes and sunglasses are all from last year - the struggles of being 16. The leather jacket is very old but of course they are timeless and can be bought any time of year, every year.
