Inspiration – SARAH By Hagley West

Disclaimer – We received this watch for the purpose of this review. All words and opinions are our own.

This Christmas give the gift of time with the stunning Inspiration – SARAH watch by Hagley West which is a part of Hagley West’s Inspiration range.

The Inspiration range was born out of Hagley West’s want to celebrate the ethos of ‘Love Your Journey’.

They want to celebrate the journeys of everyday inspirational women who have over come adversity to triumph. So they designed these inspirational watches for inspirational women all over the world.

No two journeys are the same whether they be physical, mental, emotional or spiritual, but every journey is marked by time.

The Inspiration – SARAH watch was created by Sarah Graham who overcame mental health issues thanks to her love of art.

This classic watch is shining example of great craftsmanship and looks stunning dressed up with a little black dress for an evening out or dressed down in comfy casuals for a more relaxed day to day wear.

No matter the outfit or occasion this watch really holds its own.

This classic timepiece oozes style with its 38mm polished silver gun metal steel case with a dual tone gun metal and rose gold bracelet, matching buckle clasp. The dial is breathtaking with its contrasting rose gold hands and indexes.

Rose gold is massively in fashion at the moment and combined with the cool toned gun metal it is a perfect partnership.

The Christmas treat the one you love to a Hagley West watch.

The Inspiration- SARAH by Hagley West is available to buy for £85 and is packaged in a beautiful pearlescent box with accompanying sleeve.

Autumn is well and truly upon us and that’s means it’s jumper and jeans season!

Havaianas x MARKET Collaboration

Disclaimer – We received this item for the purpose of this review/feature but all words and opinions are our own.

Streetwear label Market has teamed up with Havaianas to drop some heat.

The two brands have developed the first thermo-reactive sandals using Haviana’s Top and Tradi Zori models.

Both silhouettes boast a surface that changes from black to red when exposed to heat.

Market founder Mike Cherman developed the idea for the thermo-reactive sandals when visiting the Havaianas headquarters and factories in Brazil.

Struck by how hot the sand could get on the beaches, Cherman conceptualized a heat-reactive design that would communicate the flip-flop’s temperature to the wearer.

With the help of Havaianas’s team, he then co-created the industry-first flip-flop.

The collaboration’s Top and Tradi Zori models flaunt thermo-reactive surfaces that switch colors when exposed to heat.

Whether the temperature change is due to hot sand or sweaty feet, the sandals signal the switch by transitioning from black to red.

Each flip-flop features Havaianas and Market co-branding on its footbed, with “Caution: Hot Sandal” text spelled out on the edge of the shoes.

With UK temperatures currently at an all time high this summer due to heatwaves, Havaianas have been a real saving grace and have been so useful when out on my adventures.

Havaianas are the market leader in flip flops and its clear to see why. They not only look great, they feel great and can be worn day and night!

Darn Tough Vermont Hiking Socks

Disclaimer – We received this item free for the purpose of this review/feature but all words and opinions are our own.

Darn Tough Vermont Socks, which as the name suggests are made in the USA, but are unconditionally guaranteed for life. How can that be? Well their socks, for both men and women, are made with merino wool and a nylon blend.

The family owned company began 40 years ago in the Green Mountains of Vermont, USA.  Originally designed as hiking socks, they make a plethora of different styles and designs for lifestyle as well as waking. The socks are also made in a mill under the one roof and don’t answer to any shareholders. So with that ethos, what are the socks actually like?

If you look at their website, you’ll see there are loads of socks to choose from but they’re all made the same way – merino wool blended with nylon to make them durable. The sole of the socks are fluffier to provide cushioning when walking, whilst the top of the socks are thinner to allow your feet to breath. There are no seams either, so the socks don’t rub along your toes or against the inside seam of your shoes. 

The socks are incredibly well made, comfortable and lightweight to wear.  The many different designs, for men and women as well as children make them an excellent choice for sportswear, but their durability make them brilliant for children to wear too!

WOMEN’S OOAHH LIMITED SLIDE SANDAL – RED BANDANA

Disclaimer – We received this item for the purpose of this review/feature but all words and opinions are our own.

What if your shoes could reduce pressure and demand on your feet and joints? So instead of feeling fatigue, pain, and tightness, you were left feeling recharged? Magic, right?

Actually, it’s science—the science behind @oofos recovery footwear.

As an #osteoarthritis sufferer, I am always looking for ways to help live with this painful condition and found that my shoes are a huge factor in my pain levels.

I was sent a pair of Women’s Ooahh Limited Slide Sandal in Red Bandana (RRP £60) in a UK 9 to review and they fitted perfectly.

An evolution of the OOriginal, featuring an agile OOfoam™ strap for additional support and comfort.

The revolutionary OOfoam® technology absorbs 37% more impact than traditional footwear foam materials to reduce the stress on your feet and joints.

From the moment I stepped into the sandals, it felt like I was walking on a cloud!

The sandals are incredibly light, felt secure and comfortable.

Unlike cheap flip-flops typically constructed of EVA foam, OOFOS footwear is made using a patented, closed cell foam that has non-toxic properties.

OOFOS are also painted with non-toxic paints.

OOFOS footwear also does not contain latex, so those with #latexsensitivity can safely wear any of this style. You can feel good wearing OOFOS next to your skin.

As a keen day tripper and camper, I will be packing my OOFOS sandals wherever I go!

Finding shoes that not only look good but support my joints is wonderful, and I am delighted with my OOFOS sandals! OOFOS is an official partner of The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity.
