Venice // Prima Parte

So I got back from Venice on Friday and I already have the worst withdrawals. I can't explain what an absolutely beautiful city it is and I highly recommend that you go there as soon as possible! I wanted to share a few of the photos from our trip and what we got up to... so first of all we stayed in the beautiful Starhotels Splendid, and as you can see from the pictures it was absolutely stunning! The rooms were modern but with the Venice feel to them and we had cute little handmade marshmallows and Fudge left for us on arrival. The hotel was in the heart of Venice in San Marco, Gondola's, shops and restaurants were on the doorstep so we were in the perfect location!

The Gondola along the Grand Canal is obviously one of the main attractions of Venice and I was so excited to go on one! We paid 80 euro which seems a lot but it really was worth it. They took us around the Grand Canal which was beautiful and through the narrow Canals. The city has a real authenticity about it and the scenic views on the Gondola were just stunning.

The Outfit...

I have to say how lucky I was to bag this jacket.... I'd been looking for the very similar Zara coat that's been sold out everywhere! Randomly looked on Topshop new in, 1 left in stock and it was my size! I couldn't have added it to bag any quicker I'm sure I didn't even blink until I had the confirmation email LOL. Anyway thank gwad because it is so beautiful, it's such high quality and looks effortless on, it really does. It has been sold out ever since but I have linked it below and one similar from Missguided.

Jacket: Topshop - (Low in stock - similar here)

We had lunch in a gorgeous authentic Italian restaurant in Piazza San Marco (St Mark's Square) which was delicious, fresh pasta's and pizza's as you would expect! It was beautiful to just walk along and see all these stunning buildings including the Basilica and the Clock Tower which leads you to a street known as the "Merceria" where there are many shopping streets before you reach the Rialto Bridge. We also made many pit stops to grab Gelato's (ice-cream to you and I) which were insane. Every flavour combination you could think of! For any ice-cream lovers like me then you need to go just for that!

Perfection Secrets

Hey everyone! Happy Monday (she says with gritted teeth)

So if you follow my blog you'll remember that a few months back I attended the #PLTCyberParty in London. I was lucky enough to receive a goodie bag full of pamper and party essentials in preparation for the Cyber Weekend back in November. One thing included in the goodie bag was a roll of fashion tape. Which since, has become an essential part of my handbag on a night out. Then a couple of weeks ago I was contacted by the brand of the tape 'Perfection Secrets' and as you can imagine I was thrilled that they wanted to send me out a few other pieces to try out! So I've decided to do a review of the pieces they sent out to me! p.s I have not been sponsored by Perfection Secrets for this post.

So a bit about Perfection Secrets - They are a fashion accessories brand that sell all the essentials things you need for a night out, fashion tape, gel shoe cushions, converter bra straps, nipple shields etc... So basically all the things you seriously need a draw full of! They have been selling their products in highstreet stores for the last decade and now have their own website but the products can also be found on PLT of course. I have tried out all of these products so that I can give you some feedback on them (the pictures were taken before I tried most of them out)

Secret Soles

The first product are the 'Secret Soles' thick gel cushions for killer heels. So I went out Saturday night which was my perfect opportunity to try out most of the products. Anyone who knows me (or has been on a night out with me) will know how useless I am in heels. I really do suffer with the worst pain when i'm in heels for more than a minute. I've tried out a few different types of shoe cushions but I have to say how impressed I was with these. They were secure, stayed in place all night so I didn't need to constantly readjust them like most i've tried. What I also loved was that they are the full length of the shoe, most are just for the ball of your foot and sometimes can put extra pressure on your heel. So very very impressed!

Low Back Converter

The 'Low Back Converter' straps are absolutely brilliant! These are for all of those low back pieces you may have if you don't feel comfortable enough to go braless then you need to buy a hand full of these! They are simple to use, they just attach to the hook and eye of your bra, wrap around the waist and fasten at the front. They were actually really comfy, I was a bit unsure of how comfortable it would be having straps around my waist and whether I would feel secure in the bra but they were brilliant. They also come in black too!

Fashion Tape

The 'Fashion Tape' is by far my favourite piece and as I said has become an essential part of my handbag. I'm a sucker for clothes with different neck lines and funny straps as I call them which can usually mean that I wear things that need a little more support. The fashion tape works by being double sided so its easy to use by just sticking it down wherever you need the fabric to stay, remove the backing and then pressing the fabric into the tape. It's really sticky so once you have secured your clothing in place then it stays there all night. It also comes in this handy pack of ready cut pieces for more convenience. Perfect to take in your bag for you and your friends.

Silicone Nipple Covers

Last but not least.. The 'Silicone Nipple Covers'. As you can see I couldn't wait to try these out even before the weekend. I wear a lot of backless pieces as I love everything backless and so a lot of the time I find it easier to go braless and wear nipple covers rather than those stick on bras which seem to just never stay on properly. However, I have only ever tried fabric shields. These silicone shields are absolutely amazing, they are so easy to use they stay in place and literally don't move, they are also discreet you really can't tell you have them on in clothing AND re-usable up to 20 times! They are absolutely perfect for when you need to go braless!

If you would like to get your hands on some of these products then head over to Perfection Secrets now and you can get 25% off everything by using my code "AMBER" at checkout.
