Heading For Winter Sun...
Published on Saturday 20th October 2007
Autumn has finally arrived and I’ve waved good bye to all those summer clothes I bought that sadly never saw the light of day. Luckily for Pashminas and Pearls, the banishment of the summer wardrobe is only temporary – no, I’m not moving to Australia, but I’m spoilt enough to be going on not one but two winter sun holidays.
The first is to The Oberoi in Egypt (just me and Green Fingers). It’s our first hols together and hopes to be a thoroughly relaxing and romantic week away, with the odd bit of tennis and diving thrown in to keep him sufficiently occupied!
The second (and I’m trying very hard not to sound too smug) is to Antigua for Christmas and New Year. I’m lucky enough to be being taken by GF’s family who enjoy holidaying abroad over Christmas…didn’t I pick well!
So two rather different holidays but both in need of the same essentials. Top on my list were new bikinis. Seeing as though out of the remaining ten weeks of the year, I’ll be spending three of them wearing bikinis (I’ll stop bragging now), I felt I was justified in spending money on a couple of great ones.
In the past it’s always been notoriously difficult to find a good choice of bikinis out of season, but luckily for me the SheerLuxe directory gave me plenty of inspiration.
There I stumbled across Swimhut. Fabulous is all I can say. Not only did they have a huge selection of brands, styles, colours, but there’s also the added bonus of free delivery and return which is always a huge plus point with online shopping. The Pink Punch Bikini (pictured) was one of my purchases.
They’ve also got a great range for the man in your life, so you can even guarantee he’ll make the right statement in beachwear too! Even better, SheerLuxe are currently running a promotion offering 15% off (when you enter sheerluxe at checkout), so no excuse not to look good on the beach in the winter months.
A thoroughly satisfying shopping experience and I’m all set to go!

Domestic Bliss...
Wednesday 10th October 2007
Now that we’re properly settled into domestic bliss, I thought it was high time Green Fingers and I threw our first dinner party. With the pictures finally up and our little flat dust free, guest lists were drawn up and menus set. Wanting to show off Pashminas and Pearls in all...
A Belle Maison...
Friday 28th September 2007
I almost pulled out every hair on my head in desperation as I searched for the plumber’s phone number. Typically just as the temperature drops, so does the pressure on my boiler, and I was in dire need of a boiler man in the know. Green Fingers is a whizz with...
Feeling Broody...
Friday 14th September 2007
When the new Autumn/Winter Boden catalogue dropped through my letter box the other day, I had to have all the restraint in the world not to put in a huge order and totally bankrupt myself (decorating the little flat ready for Green Fingers to move in to has cost me an arm and...
Getting Inspired...
Friday 10th August 2007
Despite the stress of having the little flat redecorated, the excitement of choosing new furniture has taken over! Not being able to face spending hours of precious weekend time trawling furniture shops with the masses, Pashminas and Pearls decided to spend a mere fraction of that time looking at furniture websites from...
