Flower Power

Mother’s Day is far behind us, and we’ve got a good long wait before we see the light of Valentine’s Day. But that doesn’t mean that you’ve got no good reason to send flowers to someone you love. Somebody somewhere is having a birthday each and every day of the year, and odds are that you’re good friends with at least a fair number of them.  

But even if you’re not the flowers-on-your-birthday sort of person, it’s always nice to send a gorgeous floral arrangement to someone you love for no reason at all. Would your husband, perhaps like to receive a Thinking of You bouquet at his office? And wouldn’t it be nice if your daughter woke up to a Good Luck bouquet on the morning of her first day of school? Flower power is a very real thing, as these simple fragrant blossoms have the ability to perk up your mood and serve as a reminder that somebody loves you and is thinking about you.   

I know what you’re thinking: flower deliveries are expensive. But nothing could be further from the truth. For a limited time Flora Queen is offering a 10% discount plus free delivery on all orders (code: FQCODES1).  This offer is a Codes.Co.Uk exclusive, so now is the time to get a great deal on roses, lilies, orchids—the list goes on and on. Flora Queen even lets you shop by color as well as price, so you’re bound to find something that will catch your eye and suit your needs.

Artistic Holiday

Summer isn’t over yet! Even if your funds are running low, you’re probably still feeling the urge to go on holiday. Don’t fight it. Go on that last adventure that will cleanse your mind before the fall season begins. If your main obstacles are time and money, here is a simple solution.

Think Small: Why travel far if you need to quickly return to your usual weekday obligations? Indulge in a short weekend trip to a destination that’s bursting with art, architecture, culture, and history—France! The country of good wine and good times makes an excellent end-of-summer destination, and you can make the most of a relaxing trip by getting a great deal on your travel plans. If you book by 20 August, Air France will take £20 off all flights over £140 (code: AFJULYC243).

Think Like an Artist: Being a tourist is wonderful, but taking on the role of an artist while you travel will give you a sense of personal satisfaction. No matter where you choose to travel in France, let the setting be your muse. Spend a little more time admiring historical and architectural landmarks. Instead of taking a traditional photo of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, or the cityscapes of Lyon, try creating your own artistic rendition as a one-of-a-kind souvenir.

Become an Artist: You can even flex your artistic muscles a bit more by creating an artistic collage of your travels. For example, you can draw, paint, or take a photo of the Eiffel Tower, or any other great monument or spot that you see on your travels.  Then create a second picture of the same spot that’s taken from a different angle. When you get home juxtapose the two images, and add in small souvenirs from that city to create a personal 3D collage.

Debenhams: Menswear at its Finest

Men don’t typically get as excited as women do when it’s time to shop for new clothing. While we find the prospect of luxurious cashmere, comfy knitwear, stunning boots, and stand-out-in-a-crowd coats positively intoxicating, they tend to not possibly care less.    

You may have to drag him kicking and screaming to the store to replace well-worn T-shirts and trainers, but once you get him inside you can, shall we say, urge him to check out some of the other great styles that the world of men’s fashion has to offer.

And as luck would have it, Debenhams is loaded down with some incredibly hot looks for men. You can get Levi’s, Lee, and J by Jasper Conran jeans in every conceivable style and wash, in addition to graphic tees and even great men’s fragrances. Plus, free delivery is available on orders of £30 or more. But if he’s still not sure which fashion direction he should travel in, he can always check out Debenhams Top 10 Menswear Reviews. These are the top-rated menswear items for the month that can help a puzzled shopper get to know what’s in, what’s out, and what’s most likely going to look good on him while simultaneously earning a few double takes from the ladies.

Fashion-Forward Fall Trends

Whether you stayed at home all season and tended to responsibilities, or left the real world behind and surfed a tropical beach, we can all agree on one thing—the season is coming to an end. But don’t fret. Although cooler weather is on the horizon, it only means that we’re all that much closer to indulging in the season’s newest fall fashions. Here are a few ways to stay in tune with fall’s fashion-filled symphony of fabrics and colors, while maintaining your personal style.

Dress to Impress: When you aren’t dining at a hat-heavy occasion, or lounging on the couch in your bedclothes, bear in mind that dressing the part of a Vogue fashion model is not always reserved for the elite. This fall, prints, sixties vintage looks, jewel tones, tunics, and trousers are just some of the forecasted style trends.

Neck and Up: Believe it or not, autumn marks the revival of the choker. Whether you’re leaning towards pearls, something gilded or bejeweled, accentuate your neck with a snug fashion accessory and elevate your whole look. And since you’ll be accentuating you face with your new jewelry item, don’t be afraid to rouge your cheeks or step out with a bold lip.

Goodbye Mop Top: While the masses may be running to their hairdressers to request a Kate Middleton haircut and color job, stay at home and make yourself a cup of tea. Go your own way this fall and lean towards a luscious, burgundy-infused brown or a choppy, straight black color and cut. Keep your new hairstyle looking as fashion forward as the day it was created by touching it up with the proper products. Just Beautifully is offering a £5 discount off all orders over £50 until August 18 (code: GIFT5). Save on everything from thermal protectors, shine enhancers, leave-in conditioners, hot tools, and more.
