Shop til you drop - June 21

WELL, here is the last shop til you drop from me for a while as I am off on maternity leave at the end of this week. I hope you have enjoyed the column, I’m sure it will be back shortly.

Firstly this week I stop in at Harts Pharmacy. I had a good look around for my last go and thought I would mention some of my favourite pieces.

The Wicked Sister cosmetic cases and toiletry bags have always stood out to me. I love their vibrant colours and designs. But if you don’t want the colourful look, there are some really nice classic plain black ones available.

When you first walk into Harts to your left are some draw liners. If there is one small luxury you should invest in, it should be draw liners. Open your drawers up to a beautiful rose scent every day and then wear it around with you. They have them for just $11.95 and come in three different scents to suite your liking.

And lastly, it is the Isoki nappy bags I would like to mention. These are what every stylish mum is talking about or wants. These reversible baby bags offer practicality by offering two bags in one. Its contents include; a double-sided storage satchel, large insulated cooler bag and change mat, all of which can be removed and used individually.

The underside of the bag offers a separate storage section for nappies and other necessities. These may be the best things since sliced bread. This week I went back to Sal at bliss@ninetysix to have a follow up microabrasion on my face.

The atmosphere Sal creates in her tranquil little room is perfect for a relaxing treatment and sometimes I think I might go just to have a lay down and listen to her relaxing music!

Back to what I was there for - the microabrasion helps to brighten me skin and removes dead skin cells. Sal and I spoke about having a course of six treatments and she said for my skin I could have a treatment every two weeks, but for her type of skin she could have it every week.

Microabrasion is an intense and deep exfoliation of the skin. This is why each time I have had the treatment it has left my skin feeling like silk.

To prepare my skin she cleansed my skin twice, did the microabrasion and then performed a facial and neck massage by first applying a skin firming serum underneath the massage cream. She then finished off with a hydrating mask and moisturiser.

Again my skin felt so hydrated and softer than it ever has.

Where is it Socially Acceptable for men to Wear Skirts | Wardrobe ...

In an every changing world where men and women seem to be gaining in equality by the second a new trend has hit over in parts of Europe and is starting to eek its way ahead; men in skirts. While the idea of a man wearing a skirt is strictly taboo in some parts of the world it is actually gaining popularity and if history is any indicator, skirts on men will be here in the United States before you know it.

It makes sense when you think about it. More and more clothing that would only be considered for one sex is making its way across the gender line and showing up where you least expect it. The pants suit for women is a classic example of a fashion that was originally designed for one gender but made its way to the other. Designers certainly pulled that off so why not skirts on a guy?

For now though it is not generally accepted for men to wear skirts except for some certain circumstances. Here is when it is most commonly acceptable to have a man wearing a skirt:

•    Scottish formal events: This is probably the only time for now that you will think it is acceptable for a man to be in a skirt. Of course these skirts are referred to as kilts and are a traditional garment for a Scottish man to wear especially to a formal event. Should you attend a wedding that has a Scottish Bride or Groom chances are you will see more than one kilt floating around. •    Celtic events: Much like the Scottish, the Celts have their own form of the kilt and they too can be seen on Celtic men. Also like the Scottish, it was tradition to dress up in your finest kilt for the most formal of times.

•    Foreign military dress: Though they have not been used in battle since the 1940s, there are still certain regimens of the British, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand, and South African armies that still use kilts as part of their everyday dress and uniforms. •    Military ceremonies: The U.S. Marines, the Coast Guard, and the U.S. Air Force have all developed ceremonial kilts that are worn by certain members of the pipe and drum bands. Though not part of the everyday uniform, these kilts are being seen at more and more military ceremonies.

•    Halloween: Let’s face it, if your buddy came over right now wearing a skirt, you would check your calendar to see if it was Halloween. On this occasion men can definitely get away with wearing a skirt if the costume they picked out dictates one. If it’s not Halloween, maybe your buddy just got back from a European vacation and loved the new fashion that he saw while over there.
