Review: Pauls Boutique iPad Mini Case
Thursday, June 05, 2014
I was very kindly sent this iPad mini case to review from Venom Communications but the brand is Paul's Boutique. I have only had a couple of cases for my iPad mini, a super cheap one and the Kujali one (which is amazing!). However, I wanted to try one that was a bit more summery and bright and oh boy did I get it!
I have the *Paul's Boutique iPad Mini Case by Venom Communications (£29.99). Firstly, can we have a moments silence for this case and packaging, it is so luminous and colourful, I love it! The presentation/packaging of the case is fantastic, I think it would make a lovely gift - and delivery was very very quick. I love the bright pink and metallic blue fake croc skin effect on the straps, I think it looks amazing especially on the patent shiny black background of the case itself. I adore the look of the case, it is perfect for summer! The case is shiny so I think it would be easy to wipe clean and it is thin/small so it would be great for travelling and keeping in your bag.
The case holds my iPad mini in place with two elasticated straps on each corner which hold it in place really really well, I don't think my iPad mini will be falling out of it ever! The only problem with the straps/fastening is that the straps on the top right corner press the volume buttons downs which isn't great so I had to keep the straps off that corner and behind my iPad which then obstructed the camera view slightly - again this isn't great but I can work with it like this. Although even with only three corners held down, my iPad mini was so secure in the case, it doesn't budge! But when typing the straps on the bottom two corner do block the keyboard slightly but you can still type.
There is a hole in the back of the case for the camera which is great so you don't have to take your iPad mini out of the case to take a photo. The lining inside is super soft so it won't damage the screen in any way and it is bright red - I love the bright, almost neon colours of this case. The case holds the iPad mini vertically so you cannot strand it horizontally as I can with my Kujali case.
Overall, I adore the packaging, presentation and the almost neon colours of this case - it looks perfect for summer! The hole for the camera is great along with the super soft interior and wipe clean case surface. The case holds my iPad mini so securely, I don't have to worry about it at all. However the straps are not ideal as they push down the volume buttons and obscure the camera view and keyboard slightly - if the iPad was held in by a plastic frame and the case could stand horizontally on a table then it would be just perfect! ★★★☆☆, 3.5 out of 5 stars from me.
Have you tried this iPad mini case? What do you think of the design?

OOTD: Skipton Castle
Monday, April 28, 2014
Last weekend, easter weekend, myself and my parents and sister went on a very last minute trip to Skipton Castle in Yorkshire. According to google maps the journey should have only been 44 minutes from out house but it ended up taking about 1hr 30 mins so we only had just over half an hour in the castle but we managed to take a lot of photographs (my camera battery died at the end of the trip) and it was a gorgeous sunny day! Here is my ootd (outfit of the day).

Top: Topshop - Jeans: Dorothy Perkins - Bag: Newlook - Shoes: Zara - iPad case: Kujali
I bought this Topshop top in the sale for about £10 and I adore it, I love anything striped! It was quite a sunny day and the top is quite large and light weight so it is perfect for english spring and summer days. I love my zara shoes, they are dove grey and had silver spikes on the front although they can be quite painful! For my makeup I chose simple black liner with a slight wing and nude lips.
Here are some photographs of the castle, it is quite a small castle and it is located in the centre of Skipton, Yorkshire. As a child and teen I went on camping holidays with my parents, sister and our friends/neighbors where we visited a lot of castles! I love visiting castles, they are so interesting, this one is a norman castle. A primitate version of the castle was built by a norman baron in 1090. The castle was given to the Clifford family by King Edward II in 1310 and the writing on the gates of the castle bear the Clifford's Norman French motto 'Desormais' which means 'henceforth'. The two towers are the oldest part of the castle which date back to norman times. There are gorgeous views of Skipton and the surrounding areas.
Overall, I think Skipton Castle is well worth a visit! As well as the castle there is a cafe, a church, seating areas - great for photographs especially on the gorgeously sunny day that we went on. Great views of the Leeds/Liverpool canal and Eller Beck (a beck is a small stream). One place I didn't go to was the dungeon which looked really creepy (bottom left photo) and the stairs throughout the castle were very worn and a bit difficult to walk on.
There you have my OOTD and photographs from the amazing Skipton Castle! Have you been to Skipton Castle? What do you think of my OOTD?
Review: Kujali Ipad Mini Case
Monday, February 17, 2014
I was very kindly sent this *iPad mini case by Kujali about a week ago - this does not affect my opinion of the brand/product, for more information about PR and my disclaimer, click here. I was in need of a new ipad case and this one sounded very interesting, especially as with every purchase of this case, the company will give one mosquito net to a child in Africa which is just fantastic! Also each case is tested for months before it is released so you know it is going to be amazing!
The *Kujali iPad Mini Case is priced at £29.99 which for the incredible quality and charitable actions of the brand is an amazing price. The case has a matte black leather outer cover and the inside is a plush red suede material - I love the contrasting colours. There is a red silicone lining that adds very good protection. To insert your iPad Mini, you just remove the padding and red silicone lining. Then insert your ipad mini in the red silicone lining before you fit it into the hard black case. The fit is snug and I feel like it will definitely keep my iPad mini as protected and safe as it could possibly be! The silicone is shock absorbing.
There is a slot for the lightening charging cable and raised areas where the power button and volume buttons are. The silicone doesn't affect the effectiveness of the buttons. The case is held closed by a elasticated black band and the plastic case holds the ipad really well all over but especially at the corners. The case has an elasticated band on the inside so you can place your hand inside to hold the case. Also the case has groves on one side so you can stand it up at different angles which is the main way I use it - it is very useful, it is one of my favourite features. There is a hole for the camera on the back and I feel like my ipad is very secure and protected, even if I drop it (which I have done a couple of times...oops!). Also if you register your case online with Kujali, they offer a lifetime warranty on the case.
Overall, I am extremely pleased with the case, it works so well and aesthetically I think the case looks very sleek and expensive and in terms of functionality I cannot fault it. I will be using no other case as long as I have this one. I also love the charitable aspect of this product/brand, with every purchase of this iPad mini case, the company will give one mosquito net to a child in Africa to try and reduce deaths related to malaria. I am recommending this case to all of my friends and family who have iPad minis, I love it! I cannot recommend this case and brand enough, for more information on the case and charitable work, click here.
