Marks and Spencer Outlet Black White and Red Dress

A few months ago I visited the Marks and Spencer outlet store at Lakeside, Thurrock.  I was driving back from a work meeting and wanted to break up the journey so a bit of retail therapy seemed just the ticket!

I tried a few dresses on but there was one that especially appealed to me and, after tweeting a photo of it and getting a positive response, I bought myself two: one size 10 and one size 12.

About a month ago, I visited the Marks and Spencer Outlet at Ashford's Designer Outlet.  It comprises a range of stores selling items at knock-down prices, and there's usually many a bargain to be had.

The items sold in the M&S outlet store are usually end of the line or last season's/year's stock.  None of that really matters to me - I just want to get fabulous clothing at reduced prices!

Bikini bonanza!

With the gorgeous weather we were enjoying here in the south east of England (and across much of the UK) today, I decided to spend some time lying out in the garden.  I got back from a holiday on the Mediterranean two weeks ago so it was definitely time to give my fast-fading tan a bit of a top-up.  This has prompted me to write a post on bikinis as I dug one out of the drawer today to wear in my garden.


If you have read my previous posts, you will know all about my struggle to find my 'ideal' bra.  This struggle extends to bikinis, which are even more problematic as matching briefs are required.  Some of you might think that matching briefs are also a requirement with bras - having recently purchased matching sets in abundance I am now in the position to wholeheartedly agree with you!  However, up until a couple of months ago, I was forced to be satisfied with simply finding a comfy, well-fitting bra, and matching briefs were stuff dreams were made of.
