Boux-tiful Underwear for Boux-tiful People

Ladies I'm about to say something distressing but I want you to bear with me: 

MEN WERE RIGHT ALL ALONG!! 

I never thought I would write that sentence but in this case it's true! Men nailed the big "what underwear to wear?" question years ago! Men didn't faff about shoving cheese wire between their cheeks, or yanking it up so everyone knew they were walking around with a permanent wedgie. They didn't demand Brazilian cuts, tangas, high-rise, french, lo-cut, or "girl" shorts- they just went "boxers, yeah, grand, that'll do cheers!" and ladies they were right. All you need is boxers, but more specifically you need Boux Boxers from the folks at Boux Avenue. 

These pants are genuinely the comfiest, cutest, sassiest, everyday pants I've ever owned, so I, um...got them all!! Just look at the cuteness: 

Just look at them! I think my favourites are the "Never Let Someone Dull your Sparkle" ones. There are only a few styles left on the website because their Spring collection launches really soon (can you say super bloody excited?!?!). 

Oh and did I mention that Boux Boxers are generally 3 for £12 in store and online?? The three in the last photo above are still available so grab em before they're gone. 

I know this reads like I've been paid to say nice things but I genuinely just love this underwear. I live with a few conditions that mean that comfort is a very big deal to me, for example some fabrics can make my skin feel like it's actually on fire to the point that I have taken chunks out of myself trying to beat an itch. My central nervous system also doesn't understand pain properly so what might be a normal feeling where your underwear meets your skin, to me could feel like a constriction (even though they fit perfectly) so it's really important to me that my underwear is comfortable, doesn't pinch, and sits right so as not to aggravate my skin. Boux Boxers tick all of these boxes, in fact they are the only underwear I've worn in the last year that meets all these requirements, so yeah I love them!! 

Do you have a favourite underwear brand? Are you as in love with that damn cute penguin as I am (£2 in the sale btw)? Or are you sitting there wondering why I think you care about my pants?? Either way sound off in the comments as usual, or get me on Twitter :-).

Today I ran out of the house in a hurry. I'd taken too long dancing around the flat in my hippy-dippy new dress, and I was officially running late for a Doctors appointment. About 300 yards away from my flat I realised the worst had happened-I'd forgotten my phone charger! But worse than that I'd also forgotten my notebook *the horror* and there was no time to go back, I was distraught. Now I know to most I sound so melodramatic right now, but to those who, like me, have a somewhat unhealthy obsession with beautiful stationery I sound completely normal- and it's to those people I say "High-five guys, wanna see something beautiful?" To the rest of you I'm simply saying "wanna see something beautiful?".

It occurred to me recently that as fashion and beauty bloggers we put so much stock in what we put on our faces, and how we dress our bodies. We agonise over the right face cream, we argue with ourselves to justify that new "perfect" pair of shoes, and for some of us we might even let our aesthetic obsession slip over into our homes. I for one focus on the smaller aspects of style, a little addition to my art collection, the cute and quirky bag that'll make a plain all black outfit stand out, and what exactly my accessories and bits and bobs say about me (or in some cases what they say to other people).

More often than not you will see that I'm sending a message with what I choose to put on display, and one of my favourite ways to do this is with my phone! 

"What? Did she just say her phone? What is she talking about?" 

I know some of you are thinking I've lost my mind but hear me out. What is the one thing our generation is never without? Our phones have become an extension of us, we use them for absolutely everything, gone are the days where all we could do was text, call and maybe play snake! While I do miss snake and the durability of the mobile phones of old (Nokia 3310- you will always have a place in my heart) I wouldn't go back to that time for anything. 

My phone makes it feel like my best friend doesn't live on the other side of the country, my phone helps me stay up to date with what is happening in the world, and yes it does still give me the ability to send a text or make a phone call should the need arise. With all this in mind is it not only fair that I put as much thought into dressing my faithful piece of tech as I do myself? Ok, some of you make think that is crazy but to me it seems completely normal so...let's have a look at my phone's outfit of the day (time being).

Isn't she a beauty?! Now I am a huge fan of pop-art and so upon seeing this sassy little babe I just had to have it. The lovely Sammy at Iconemesis asked me to choose my favourite from their range and I was so excited that I hopped right on over to have a look at what they had on offer, and boy was I spoiled for choice!

In all honesty I was torn between getting this one and one of the many gorgeous cases on offer, which by the way, includes Fifi Lapin!!! But my love of a sassy broad and an even sassier message won the internal battle. "Frankly my Dear..." is a phrase that flits through my head on numerous occasions daily (I work in hospitality) and this way I can say it without ever having to say it :-).

Oh and I haven't even told you the best bit yet...if you want your own Boyarde case, or Fifi, or any of the other adorable, quirky cases they have on offer they are only £10-£15 on the website!! Considering the quality, finish and amazeness of this case I think the prices are incredible, it is taking every ounce of my being not to buy the whole collection (I have a holiday to save for)!

If you are looking for something to jazz up your favourite piece of tech then seriously I would definitely head over and have a look at Iconemesis's range. And look how cute they look together...

Much Love

AJ
