La-boutique, la expense!

Advantages: Wide product range
Disadvantages: Expensive

...Review of www.la-boutique.co.uk La-boutique is an online department store stocking cosmetics, aromatherapy, lingerie, beauty products and all manner of giftable items. In the run up to Christmas, this site is bound to gain in popularity, not least for it's vast stock list. **The site** The site is easy to navigate, if a little dated in design. The products appear in a jumbled, haphazard fashion, with toiletry bags appearing in a random fashion next to facial spritzers, in turn nestling amongst tanning products and men's aftershave. The top of the home page has the usual Home, Search, T&Cs, Contact, Cart and Checkout links above a dull grey banner. The banner declares some of the names and products stocked. To the right hand side of the home page is a confusing mismatched list of links and buttons. These include FAQs, Blog...

La Chope

Advantages: Great food, reasonable fixed price menu
Disadvantages: None

...On our recent trip to the Loire Valley Mr Tart and myself arrived in Tours quite late on our first night. We drove down to Tours from Paris. We were going to stop for something to eat on the way but in the end decided to make our way straight to Tours and get settled in the hotel and then find something close by. A couple of minutes from our hotel we came across this place and were really glad that we did. LOCATION: La Chope is located at 25 Avenue Grammont. Our hotel was on the same road so we just came across it. It is about a ten minute walk from Tours? old town. The restaurant doesn?t stand out and the sign is not particularly bright so make sure you look out for it. THE EXPERIENCE: La Chope (which apparently translates as the tankard) is actually a fish restaurant. I?m not really a fish person (ok, that...

  La Senza: A Case of 'Bra-vo'?

Advantages: Reasonably priced bras and lingerie, excellent staff and services
Disadvantages: You may struggle to find your size

...(Warning: throughout this review, the words ?boobs?, ?boobies?, ?bazookas? and occasionally ?breasts? will pop up at an alarming rate. If you?re not in favour of any of the above, please use the ?back? button and exit left. Thank you.) It?s always been quite nice to have a womanly figure ? so what if men notice your boobs before your face? At least they?re looking...at least, that?s the confidence boosting way to look at things! Anyway, whilst we?re on the subject of ?boosting?, it?s pretty incredible how when I visited one of my local La Senza stores the other week, I was informed that my bazookas had boomed up a couple of bra sizes without the aid of knives and other messy instruments. It?s most women?s fantasy to be able to say that but I met the news with utter dread, only to be consoled by the lovely shop worker who kindly told...

La Boqueria - Barcelona's Technicolour Market

Advantages: A colouful and compelling sight, pick up some tasty food
Disadvantages: You may not be able to take some of it home

...Situated just off Las Ramblas, Barcelona?s Boqueria (or more correctly Mercat de San Josep) market is one of the city?s most popular tourist attractions. I think it says a lot about the enduring attraction of food markets that the Boqueria is still so popular in spite of the fact that our supermarkets now stock excellent produce from all over the world and that air travel and border restrictions have made it more difficult to take fresh produce home from trips abroad. When I first visited the Boqueria I was filled with excitement at the array of colourful fresh produce ? fruit and vegetables, herbs, fish and shellfish, meats ? fresh and cured, bread, nuts and dried fruit ? on sale at the market but over time, as I have traveled more widely, "La Boqueria" has lost a little of its gloss. You?ll find the Boqueria quite easily just off...

la senza

Advantages: great selection
Disadvantages: n/a

...that i struggle to find my size on the shelf, so the great thing is La Senza has a website where you can buy items, co once you know what you want and what size they will almost certainly have it available online. La Senza in my opinion is great as it does not have over priced goods as you find with some lingerie retailers. If you need La Senza also have their staff trained so that yo can get yourself measured to make sure that you are wearing the right size bra. The staff are always helpful when i visit the store and the layout of the shop is great with all of the special offers clear on posters and on each of the items hangers that you pick up which is great as it helps you to make sure that you pick up the correct items that are on special. If you have never been to La Senza i suggest you take a visit and i believe that you...

La Haine - hatred breeds hatred

Advantages: Superb acting, engaging storyline
Disadvantages: Kassovitz is miscast as a skinhead

...WHAT IS IT: La Haine is a French film - shot in black and white and released in 1995 - directed and written by Mathieu Kassovitz. It is in French with English subtitles and is around 90 minutes long. The film centres around 3 young men living on an impoverished housing estate in France. Vinz (Vincent Cassel), a French Jew, is full of rage at the injustices he is subjected to and the constant state of tension between the police and local youths in the aftermath of riots. Said is a talkative Maghrebin (French but of Moroccan/Algerian/Tunisian/Libyan/Mauritanian descent) who shares Vinz's dislike of the police but tries to keep the peace between everyone. Hubert is an Afro-French boxer and drug dealer who is philosophical about the situation he sees around him even when his gym gets burnt down during the riots. He suspects Vinz may have...

Review of La Haine (DVD)

Amazon.co.uk

Advantages: Wide Range, Cheap, Quick Delivery
Disadvantages: Cheap Looking Site

...I've only quite recently begun shopping with Amazon, the main reason being receiving vouchers from survey sites and from on here. It's now one of the first sites I look at when making a purchase. ~~~ Products ~~~ Amazon.co.uk stocks a massive variety of products. So far everything I have searched for has been available to buy on the site, although most of the things have been quite common like DVD's and games. I can't think of anywhere that stocks as much stuff as Amazon, maybe not even Ebay. ~~~ Prices ~~~ The prices on Amazon are very competitive and are usually the cheapest place to but DVD's and games, again being usually cheaper than Ebay, I have no doubt that this is the case for many other products. The main down side is that cash back sites don't offer cash back for Amazon, or am I on the wrong cash back site...

Amazon.co.uk Marketplace

Advantages: Earns money for your unwanted items
Disadvantages: Postage costs

...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What is Amazon? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Amazon.co.uk is a website where you purchase literally anything.

Grand Tour of LA!

Advantages: get to see lots in short space of time
Disadvantages: don't get much time in each place

...VIP Tours of California - Grand Tour of Los Angeles On my way home from my GAP year away my husband and I decided to stop in LA. We stayed in a Holliday Inn hotel near LAX, once we arrived here we found a brochure on VIP Tours and decided to go on what they call the most popular tour which was called the 'Grand Tour of Los Angeles'. It cost in American dollars $59 (adult) and $40 (child). One American dollar is roughly equal to roughly 0.6 United Kingdom Pounds. It was very easy to book this tour with the representative in our hotel for the next day. We had a few different times we could have chosen to go on out tour. On the morning of the tour a bus lifted us at the hotel and took us to their offices so we could pay for the tour and change buses to start the tour. This annoyed me slightly as I felt that we were wasting my...

Oh La La Senza

Advantages: Real nice stuff- very sexy- great range.
Disadvantages: the sizes vary with each bra.

...La Senza. Well, what is NOT amazing about it? When i walk into the doors of La Senza i am always greated with a warm welcoming from their trained staff. The selections are always set out neatly and i feel that i'm not going into a jumble sale; as with many shops that i have been into. The styles of Bras and underwear are very nice, however, as a student i would have to say that some are rather expensive. However, they do do the odd deal that i find rather benefitial, so they ARE considering those that are poor and wish to dazzle their other halfs ;). However, One thing i would say that is a disadvantage is that they do not accomidate for larger sizes. One size i know they do not do as a fact is size 44D, which is rather rubbish if you happen to be that size. However, being within the size boundaries i am able to find a large range...
