With the release of the Fast & Furious 6 movie this has been a week of bliss for petrolheads. I must admit I left the car craze behind in my twenties, but I did enjoy see the film last night, so be sure to check out my review

At the local cinema, they had an actual car used in filming parked outside.  Here are some pics:

Evening Dresses Online  UK

If you’re looking for evening wear that’s guaranteed to turn heads, the catwalks for 2012 were brimming with statement looks that are perfect for parties. We’ve rounded up our favourite key trends for the year ahead to help you glam up your wardrobe for the 2012 spring/summer season.

Very Berry

If the 2011 Oscars ceremony is anything to go by (and it is), berry hues are essential when it comes to choosing evening wear for 2012. As spotted on everyone from Scarlett Johansson and Mila Kunis, to Natalie Portman and Cate Blanchett, look for deep purples and berry reds to add some red carpet glamour to your wardrobe. You might not be able to stretch your budget to the Hollywood A-list level, but if you’re looking for affordable berry-toned evening occasion wear specialists Coast have just unveiled a fantastic collection in every berry shade under the sun.

When people think of equestrian style many may immediately think of horse riding helmets and matching top and bottoms. This is not the case however, there has been such a huge surge of equestrian fashion that there is a style to suit everyone whilst maintaining the horse riding roots.

Many people who actually follow the equestrian fashion, do not actually ride horses. The style it self has become so popular that you can find equestrian inspired outfits on the high street. Knee high boots, jodpurs, gilets are just some of the items being replicated by top high street brands.

With brands such as Barbour firmly etching themselves into the British culture it is no surprise that equestrian inspired wear has become to popular. Schoffel is another very popular brand which lays its roots into country fashion and equestrian wear.

This stylish and tailored tweed jacket is both stylish and inspired by equestrian fashion. No matter where you plan on wearing it, whether it be on the range with your horse, or on the high street showing off your latest country wear piece.

This fantastic stylish and sporty flat cap is made from superior tweed and us ideal for any country activity. With its comfortable and chic design you will look equestrianesque even when you aren’t doing any country activities.

Well, it’s time to sign out from Spain. Two weeks is just not enough in this awe-inspiring country but I will return to bring more news next time of the fashion, food, lifestyle, and culture out here.

So, with a heavy heart, I’ll board the aircraft to London soon, hoping it’s not struck by lightning this time!

On a final note, stay tuned to Style Review, as I’ll be reviewing Fast & Furious 6 next week and getting up close and personal with one of the actual cars used in the film (one of the few that survived the crashes I assume).

Hasta la proxima!

Wedding dresses plus size or otherwise are the subject of hot debate in the run up to a wedding. Who will wear what? What will the colour scheme be? How will it all be done?

I’ve been in the ‘bubble’ of marina life for two weeks - much disconnected from the realities of working Spain - but just up the road here is the city of El Ejido that is worth a visit for a bit of local culture.

More a town than a city in size, it’s furiously hot and dusty in the summer and scares many tourists away with its unattractive industrial outskirts and ‘plasticos’ - a sea of greenhouses supporting the thriving local fruit and vegetable industry.

And yet, if you look under the surface, the city is rich in culture.  There is an abundance of restaurants and bars, and if you’re lucky, you might catch some Andaluz flamenco music, unforgettable and authentic.
