NIKE BEAUTIFUL X Powerful Collection

NIKE BEAUTIFUL X Powerful Collection

31.1.17

This collection honors one of the first-ever female winners of the Women's Olympic Marathon: Joan Benoit Samuelson. She broke boundaries and reshaped the running world hashtag girl power. The four premium Women's exclusive trainers follow the popular 'Triple Black' aesthetic with a subtle yet premium feel, which is music to my ears ... black, on black, on black !!!

The four-cult classic styles for this black leather collection includes: the Nike Classic Cortez, the Nike Air Max Thea, the Nike Air Presto, and the Nike Air Huarache Ultra. They all have an identical theme of speed-stripe, jacquard-woven material that is motivated by the winning lap and representation of Samuelson's race.

When the first "Just do it" campaign came out in 1988, the sports brand has continuously been inspiring regular people to do irregular things. Nike is known for supporting and celebrating female athletes across all sports and constantly has been growing each year from Nike Women's runs and the Nike Women community. It includes more than four million global athletes who all run and train together and share the same mindset of committing to push their limits.

"There is no finish line" is Joan's personal mantra that Nike has used to express their constant commitment to supporting women in sport for the Beautiful X Powerful campaign. I purchased the Air Max Thea, which in my opinion has the most sleek, reliable and lightweight cushioning. The insoles read, "There is no finish line" to remind consumers of Samuelson's legendary achievements. The Air Max Thea embodies everything from the classics including the embossed Swoosh to the sidewall, as well as the visible Air Unit in the heel and OG branding to the tongue. Nike recommend for a roomier fit to order a half-size larger than your normal size.

This is one of the most stylish collections Nike have released and is perfect for an all black OOTD lover like me. It screams: Determination, Inspiration and Celebration! An impressive collection!

Big Easy Review

Big Easy Review

9.1.17

I have been to Big Easy before but i must say i recently went and my experience was not great at all. We went to the Covent Garden branch. There was a nice atmosphere however the service and quality of food was not how i remembered. We purposely made a reservation quite early on a Friday night, they were not busy at all however they decided to sit us on the most tiniest of tables and took a good 30 minutes just to ask what drinks we wanted.

For starters which arrived very late we ordered the Grand Appetizer Platter for 2 which included: Voodoo Chicken Wings, Pit-Smoked BBQ Wings, Hush Puppies, Calamari and Deep Fried Jumbo Shrimp. This was dry and tasted very average, the calamari had been overcooked.

After starters i decided just to opt for dessert, as i was not impressed by the food so I chose the Iron Skillet Smores Fondue with Graham Crackers. This was okay ... i have tasted better and was left with just cold marshmallow, as it didn't stay warm for too long. My friend got the Big Easy Smokehouse Burger and even they left their burger and just ate their chips!

Overall i don't think i will be going back again, which is a shame as when i have been previously i couldn't fault it at all!
