Brighten up your outside space with Christmas decoration

Even though it feels like summer ended only five minutes ago, already shops up and down the country are stocked full to the brim with all things bright and sparkly, and the dark nights of winter are being lit up by twinkly festive lights across our towns and cities.

The Christmas lights in London’s Oxford and Regent Streets were turned on with traditional celebration and gusto last week, brightening up our streets and office buildings. We don’t know about you, but all these seasonal illuminations are turning our thoughts to just how we could liven up our own home and outdoor space, for Christmas time and beyond. Well, here at VivaStreet we have just the thing to inspire and spark your imagination!

For a bit of festive fun, why not get in the mood by decorating your house or flat with these outdoor Christmas decorations? But before we get too carried away, if all this Christmas talk is a bit too much too soon, then look no further than VivaStreet’s own house and garden section where we have an array of general ideas for how you could brighten up your home.

No matter how big or small your garden may be, you’ll be sure to find something in our garden accessories section, which promises to make your outdoors look a little less tired and a lot more stylish all year round. You can find anything from  outdoor lights – perfect for everything from a small yard to a large lawn – to garden statues…… to hot tubs! Who would have thought a simple garden mirror could make your patio look so stylish? And isn’t it time that the poor old garden shed, which has been on its last legs for years, was relegated to the bonfire in the sky to make way for a gorgeous new summerhouse?

So, giving your outside space a bit of a makeover isn’t something that should be left to the experts. There is so much fun to be had in experimenting with a new look, so let VivaStreet help you lighten up and brighten up!

Go on, live the dream!

They’re in the money!!!! The lucky Brits who scooped the EuroMillions Lottery over the weekend can begin to make their dreams a reality by deciding just how to spend their share of the £90m jackpot. However, while the majority of us may not be in that fortunate position – yet! – here at VivaStreet we can still help you live like a millionaire, if only for a day.

You don’t have to amass a personal fortune to feel like a lottery winner, as shown by our great range of luxury experiences just a click away – how about travelling in luxury with a trip on the Orient Express or if you fancy stretching out, what about hiring a private limo for the day to take the girlfriends to the races!

Okay, so jetting off in a private plane to a spa in the Maldives may be out of reach for us lottery hopefuls, but we do have some fantastic spa breaks currently on offer on the site. And if you want to arrive in style at your spa retreat, then you could do a lot worse than to hire a Ferrari for a day or two. No-one’s going to know you hired it for the day – and we won’t tell if you don’t!!

Lastly, the private yacht is the ultimate play thing of the rich and famous – well, we might be able to help at least get you on the water! We have a whole section devoted to boats for sale. Now we can’t promise a sleek Sunseeker with heli pad, sun deck and a master bedroom the size of a small country, but for £5,000 you can pick yourself up a nice little motorboat with plenty of character. And you know what, if you splash on a little fake tan, throw on a pair of Speedos and crack open a bottle of Tesco’s best value champers, you’ll feel like you’re in Monaco, even if you’re moored up in Southampton Docks.. honest!!

Who wants to be a millionaire anyway!

Go on, live the dream!

Vintage style pointy bra

Sales of vintage style pointy bras have experienced a significant boost as, according to retail reports, the curvy look is back, with the wafer thin supermodel look relegated to the bargain bin. The trend, as advocated by Madonna who famously sported the designs of fashion icon Jean Paul Gaultier during the 1980s, is being revived once more as sales of the conical bra have increased significantly over the last year.

Women are embracing the style of 1950s starlets such as Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe, in an unashamed celebration of their femininity. However it’s not just all frills and lace, as in fact sophisticated technology goes into the design of each conical bra, with the design inspired by that used in the aircraft carriers.

So if you want to emulate the look of those silver screen bombshells who donned a pointy bra to show off their assets, there’s no need to trek out to the shops and hunt for a style that suits you, as here at VivaStreet.co.uk we have a vast selection of lingerie for sale. However we don’t just specialise in underwear, if the complete vintage look is your thing then we have lots of clothing and accessories for sale in our buy and sell section. Happy hunting!

If you’re in need of a little inspiration for your Halloween costume this year, why not take your look from the millions of Michael Jackson devotees who recently took to the streets to re-enact the superstar’s classic Thriller video? Just in time for Halloween, fans gathered in cities around the globe for a synchronised dance-off complete with fake blood, scars and ghoulish outfits.

Desperate to take the prize for best outfit at this year’s Halloween party? Well Vivastreet is creaking with spooky Halloween fancy dress outfits – you can find everything you need on our website to complete that spine-tingling look. We’ve got plenty of spooky goings-on, with everything from latex devils masks, Beetlejuice face masks, to witches hats and witches broomsticks.

Plus if you feel like showing off your dance moves by putting on your very own version of Thriller, you can always check out what dance classes are happening in your local area to brush up on your moves…
