Lingerie websites like La Senza?
Hey, does anyone know of any lingerie websites that sells lingerie a similar style and price to La Senza?
Not places like Ann Summers, really I'm looking for pretty undetware rather than obviously sexy.
Does anyone also know what's happening with the La Senza website? It says it's under maintenance however a friend told me they've gone bankrupt.
Thanks!
4 AnswersFashion & Accessories9 years agoSolar/Portable I-phone 4S chargers for about £20?
I'm going to Benicassim festival in July, and although there are power points to charge your phone at the campsite, it's likely these are going to be crowded and we won't get to charge fully or regularly, and in total we'll be there a week and mainly i'll want my I-phone for listening to music, but also as a mode of contact if i get separated from my friends.
So i'm looking at getting either a solar charger or some kind of battery packs that i'll be able to charge at home before leaving and then just plug them into the phone when i'm at the festival.
Ideally i don't want to spend any more than £20 and it needs to be fairly compact.
Any help would be much appreciated, i have looked online myself but i have no idea what kind of specs ect i should be looking for.
Thanks
3 AnswersMobile Phones & Plans9 years agoDoes he just want to be friends?
Ok so we met 6 months ago, i approached him in club, we exchanged numbers. He then asked me out on a date. We dated for about 3 months, usually he'd initiate the dates and we'd have one once or twice a week. Then he spent the night at mine, but nothing happened, we were both really drunk. After that we didn't see each other for about a month because he was busy at uni and couldn't get the time away to come home, when we did see each other again thing's seemed to have 'fizzled out'. We continued to hang out, but not very often, every 2-3 weeks and in groups of friends, not on our own. Sometimes we'd kiss, sometimes we wouldn't. I thought maybe he just wanted to be friends then so i accepted it. A few weeks ago it was my birthday and i was at a gig with 2 of my friends, i asked him to come and he did, he came out of his way on his own even though he couldn't stay long. At one point i left him with my 2 friends, i think i'd gone to the toilet, and one of my friends asked him if he liked me, he said yes and she told him that i really liked him. We then met him and his friends in a bar later that night but nothing happened. We met up again with our groups of friends a couple of weeks ago and we kissed, but i can't remember if he kissed me or maybe i kissed him and he felt he had to kiss me back. We text during the week. While we were texting this week i suggested we go for a drive and he said 'sounds good' and tonight i text him asking him if he wanted to come to last minute gig and he said he would do but he was working. He's not very open about things and neither am i, we've never told each other how much we like each other or complimented each other, so it's not like i can ask him whats going on and we're both quite shy. He doesn't ask me on dates anymore but i don't know if that's because he's so busy, he's working 2 jobs while on his summer break, or just because he wants to be friends, though he has asked me if i want to go to a gig in October.
I really do like him, he's a really sweet lovely guy, good looking, intelligent and really funny, we have loads in common and have a laugh together. I'm scared to ask him what's going on or make it clear that i'm into him romantically in case he only wants to be friends and it makes things awkward. At this point my only idea is to get really drunk one night and text him telling him how i feel, which isn't really a good plan! I was thinking about asking him over to my house to watch a film this weekend, but then i don't really want to enforce 'friend behaviour' i'd rather not see him until he knows how i feel. Any opinions or advice would be greatly appreciated!
2 AnswersSingles & Dating10 years agoAdvice resources for entrepreneurs?
I'm 18 and i have an idea for starting up my own business. My question is, is there any scheme/source, government or otherwise, which can advise a young entrepreneur in their business venture?
More Info:
My venture involves selling band/music t-shirts of my own design, but there are so many things involved in which i have no experience and would need help/advice in. For example 'How do i gain the rights's to use artists lyrics/images in my designs?', finding an appropriate supplier and somebody capable of printing my designs onto fabrics ect.
Correct me if i am wrong, but shouldn't i have these things arranged (potential suppliers, fully licensed designs, prototypes of my designs ect) before actually writing my business plan, seeking investment and registering my business?
My parents started and still run 3 successful expanding business', but their field is remotely different, also my older sister is an accountant, but that doesn't help with the questions i mentioned above.
I'm really passionate about this venture and i know i could turn it into a profitable business, i've already got plans for how to expand into different fields once it's successfully established, i just need to get over these current obstacles with some help. I'm pretty sure i read about a government service somewhere which offers such help, but i can't remember where.

3 AnswersFormula One1 decade agoWhat do you do when the person you love doesn't love you back?
Have you ever been in love with somebody who doesn't love you back?
If this was somebody else's question i'd probably have answered along the lines of 'if he/she doesn't love you back then it wasn't meant to be'. Until it happened to me, to be fair i don't actually know if he loves me back nor am i in any hurry to find out as i'd rather spare myself that heartache for the time being, pretty cowardly i know but it set me thinking.
Do you ever get over it? Do they always hold a special place in your heart? Or does it simply heal with time?
I find it hard to believe that such feelings can just disappear. I'm not on about the teenage 'omg i love him' then forget about him 2 months later thing. Real love, you hear stories of people still being in love with somebody they lost contact with like 30 years ago and they never get over it.
7 AnswersSingles & Dating1 decade agoTemporary/Semi Permanent Tattoos?
I've wanted a tattoo for a while now but don't want to be stuck with it for the rest of my life (i'm 18).
So i was wondering what options there are for temporary/semi permanent tattoos.
The 'Rub on' ones are useless as they only last a couple of days and fade after one wash.
Again with Henna it doesn't last long enough and they are brown, i want black.
I've heard of '5 year tattoos' which seem ideal, it'd be gone by the time i'm 23, but i've also heard horror stories that not all of them go after 5 years. One of my neighbours had one, 20 years later she still has it!
Any help would be appreciated!
7 AnswersTattoos1 decade agoHow to be a formula one grid/pit girl?
Ok so i'm a model and i'm also a huge formula one fan, it would be my dream to be an F1 pitt/grid girl. But i have no idea how to go about it, i've seen agencies that represent 'grid girls' but they seem to be like max power 'glamor' type girls at rubbish car shows.
Does anyone know how you become one?
4 AnswersFormula One1 decade agoAnyone know of any Cordless Hairdryers?
Well i want to do a festival this summer and being a girl with long hair, the whole not being able to shower for a couple of days thing is bothering me!
I figure it'll be easy enough to wash my hair with bottled water and shampoo, as well as using water/wet wipes and things to clean my body.
The only problem is getting my hair dry after wards, i'd rather not leave it to dry naturally as it dries flat and i quite like my hair to have volume.
I already own a pair of cordless gas operated straighteners and wonder if there's a similar thing for hairdryers?
Either gas operated/battery operated or rechargeable. I've seen a couple for sale but they're only £20 and look quite rubbish. Can anyone recommend one?

2 AnswersDecorating & Remodeling1 decade agoCan anyone figure him out?
I met this guy in October, we hit it off straight away and started 'seeing' each other. By which i mean we were not in an exclusive relationship but texting all day every day and spending time together at the weekends. We got on really well, literally we had all the same interests, tastes in music and the exact same sense of humour, whenever we spoke we would just be laughing non stop, he's the funniest person i've ever met and he said i just have this 'amazing way of making him laugh all the time'. Ofcourse we'd talk about serious things too, he's very intelligent, we'd enjoy discussing the meaning's and stories behind our favourite songs and our favourite musicians ect.
Things were going really well, except he started to become really jealous and possessive of me over other guys. One night in particular we were out together clubbing and another guy turns up who he knows, who likes me, claiming to have been run over. He was shaking and looked like he was in shock, so i took him to sit down and try to calm him down. I fell out with my guy at the time as he was making fun of him and kept asking me if i'm really that naive, telling me he's just trying to get attention. At that moment i thought he was being cruel but i now know that the guy who got run over had been spreading rumours that he had slept with me, which he hadn't, my guy knew this and so i guess was trying to warn me. After i'd sat down with him and calmed him down, we left him and went to another bar and we sat down and talked about us. I can't remember the whole conversation, just certain sentences, he said things like 'Look if we're going to make a go of things...', 'I've been hurt really badly before', i said i wouldn't hurt him and he said 'Promise? Because if i get hurt i walk straight away'. From the general conversation i got the impression that he was discussing having a relationship, but as i can't remember properly i never read too much into that, i just kept things casual.
We carried on seeing eachother for another month, the other guy i previously mentioned still spread rumours that were getting back to my guy, so he was constantly asking me about them and getting upset, but i'd tell him the truth and he said he believed me, but that i shouldn't string this other guy along by letting him think he has a chance (which personally i never think i did, but i must have given him some encouragement if he kept making things up) so i told him i just wanted to be friends ect (i still didn't know at that stage he'd claimed to have slept with me). About a week after my guy text me saying he thinks we should just be friends, he's got so much on his plate at the moment, it wouldn't be fair on either of us, he's not looking for a relationship and doesn't want to bring me down, maybe we could try again one day. I was never looking for a relationship, i split up with my boyfriend of 3 years two weeks before i'd met him, i never intended to meet anyone it just happened, but i was enjoying my freedom, i was perfectly happy just 'seeing' this guy and he knew that, so it didn't make sense. I was with him the night before he sent the text aswell and things seemed normal, so i can't understand why he wanted to stop 'seeing' me.
So we stayed just being friends, hardly ever text but we'd see eachother probably about once a week in a bar we both go in, for the first couple of weeks i'd ignore him, then one night we got talking about music and spent ages talking. From then on we've spoke when we've seen eachother. A couple of weeks ago my parents went away so i had a party, we spoke to eachother all night, he ended up sleeping at mine, i was drunk so i can't really remember but i know we didn't sleep together, i remember us kissing and cuddling and talking, he left at 6am. A week later i was out clubbing with my friends and we ran into him and a group of his friends in a bar. One of his friends got speaking to one of my friends and told her that he really likes me (i didn't know about this until a week after). We were ignoring me, like literally dancing right next to eachother but not acknowledging eachother. Later in the night i started dancing with a guy which he saw.
Last week my friend told me what his friend had said, so i decided to tell him how i feel, i'd been with him friday night in the bar we both go to but we didn't talk much, i text him when i got home. Told him exactly how i felt, that i'm sorry if i hurt him when we were together, that if he wanted to give things another try i'd be committed, how much i liked him. He text back 'I'd love the same thing but i'm just not looking for that anymore, i've been messed around before, i've got so much sh*t to deal with, so many things to work, it wouldn't be fair to bare myself

2 AnswersMovies1 decade agoWhat to wear to an indie gig?
I'm going to see an indie band on xmas eve and i really really really like one of it's members, so obviously i'm fussing over what to wear!
I originally thought killer heels, skinny jeans and a Stone Roses t-shirt that i was going to make into an off the shoulder cropped T. As the stone roses are one of my favorite bands and also one of his, so it shows him we have similar tastes and provides a talking point. Does this sound like a good idea?
That's the t-shirt - http://www.sugarbullets.co.uk/i-wanna-be-adored-me...
Also any tips on approaching and talking to guys would also be much appreciated as i've just got out of a 3 year relationship so i have no idea how to 'chat up' guys and he's very shy so i don't know if he'd approach me if he likes me.
I'm 18 as well and he's around 23 i think.

3 AnswersOther - Entertainment1 decade agoIs it possible to get into Uni with 1 A-level?
I passed all 10 of my GCSEs and decided to do my A-levels at home which didn't really work out that well as a lot of distracting things have been going on in the past couple of years. I'm 18 and hoping to go to Uni next year, i have one Business studies a-level, is this possible?
I have a friend who managed to get into Uni with no a-levels, but is this rare?
I want to study fashion and business together degree level, i think this may be ok as i have the a level business already and fashion is more about creativity and talent, which i already have, and can't be measured by qualifications.
I'm smart, well spoken, very determined and ambitious, i know competition for places will be high but would i even be given a chance or just written off altogether?
During my gap i have been modelling and also working for my parents who own and run 3 of their own business', so i guess that's kind of like work experience in both fashion and business?
4 AnswersHigher Education (University +)1 decade agoHow to remove dye from clothes?
Ok so i decided to be really helpful and do some washing and so put on a 'white wash' thinking a 'white wash' just meant light coloured clothes. So put all my white & light things into the washer with a bright yellow dress i have, thinking as it's yellow it's a light colour so it would be ok. I realise this is stupid but im 18 and i've only ever used the washer a couple of times before!
So off i wandered feeling all smug only to return to find all of my clothes had been dyed yellow by the dress. Especially upsetting as all of my best most expensive clothes are light coloured and were in that wash.
So my question is, is there anything i can do to return them back to normal?
I've bought those special colour run products and it hasn't done anything, i've had them soaking in a bath full of vanish for days and that hasn't helped either!
Somebody advised me to use bleach, would this be ok? And does it just mean normal bleach like what you use to disinfect toilets or a special clothes bleach?
Also some of my clothes are lace, can i use bleach on lace or is there a special lace bleach you can buy?
Somebody please help! I've even been looking online for replacements but can't find the same clothes anywhere, i'm devastated! I'd be so grateful!
