GIVEAWAY | WIN Rekorderlig Mango-Raspberry Cider

COMPETITION TIME!

Giveaways are rare on this blog, but I just couldn't say no to this one! I thought this would be a lovely treat, and let's face it, who doesn't love a free drink! I tweeted a picture of some Rekorderlig cider a couple of months ago and was so surprised by the positive response, so I know you're all a fan of this brand and that this was a giveaway that you'd all approve of!

Rekorderlig is a premium cider and is available in the most yummiest flavours; strawberry & lime, pear, apple, wild berries, apple & blackcurrant, orange & ginger,  and winter cider. I think my favourite is the wild berries, but it is difficult to choose just the one! Rekorderlig Cider have recently launched a new flavour mango & raspberry. I thought it might be quite a tangy and sour in taste but it's such a fruity and subtle with a very summery fragrance and it is the prettiest raspberry colour. 

We have 5 CASES to giveaway! They are offering Temporary:Secretary blog readers the chance to win 1 of the 5 cases! Each case contains 8 x 500ml bottles (Alc 4.0% Vol), all in mango-raspberry flavour. The giveaway ends just before the end of the month, so you may get your cider in time for the Jubilee weekend! Hurrah!

Under The Sea Printed Playsuit

Playsuit AX Paris* | Rings T:S | Nails - Essie (Fifth Avenue)*

A few weeks ago, I did a blog post on one of S/S 12 trends 'Under The Sea' over on Modern Girls Guide as the trend was seen on the catwalk last year and is fresh on the high street this summer. It is a new twist on the typical sea life/nautical trend which usually focuses the obvious detailing such as stripes, shades of blues and reds, ropes, boats and anchors. This new summer trend sees heavy use of sea life with new colours, textures and bold prints inspired by sea creatures such as starfish, sea shells, fish, coral reef and even mermaids. I think it is a fun trend! Anything that reminds me of the beach or summer holidays abroad is always a good thing!

This playsuit is from AX Paris and it has a really lovely "under the sea" print, and it is actually the very first playsuit that I own. It is certainly different to anything I own such as florals, polka dots and stripey prints. I am really drawn to anything minty green or aquamarine (that was always my favourite Crayola pencil colour!) so this felt like the perfect choice for my first playsuit!

Floral Skirt and Collar Tips

Shirt Rare Fashion* / Gold Collar Tips eBay / Skirt Room31* / Nails Merino Cool from Essie*

I blogged about these gold collar tips back in February and I have bought a couple more since then, but these are the ones I always go back to. They will look really nice with a pastel colour top, as inspired by Zara's latest collection, and I have been looking for the perfect mint or lilac sheer shirt to go with gold collar tips but not luck as of yet! I guess you can never go wrong with the classic white shirt (this one is from Rare), it goes with everything including this floral skirt from room31. Room31 is an online fashion retailer, and they are offering the readers of this blog 20% off their order. Use promo code TEMPSEC20 (ends 9th June 2012) 

Most of you will know by now that it's that time of year for nominations to be placed in the Cosmo Blog Awards. Now, I do find it a little awkward to ask - but it's just the nature of the game so everyone will be in the same boat and if you don't ask, you don't get! - So if you like reading my blog, I'd love it if you voted for me here. If you have a blog too, don't forget to join in! I guess it's just a bit of fun, we have nothing to lose and you never know where it might lead! :)
