COLOUR IS KEY – NEON

‘Colour is key’ says luxury footwear brand Neon. “It’s all about bright, in your face colours at the moment” states head designer, Sarah Jayne-Newey, at Born in Britain luxury footwear brand NEON. Throughout the recent shows in London, Paris and Milan pops of colour were seen, with a particular focus on yellows, blues and metallics. With this in mind the team at NEON have created a range of bold trainers, designed to complement any outfit and add a high fashion flash of colour – and we’re in love!!!

With a fresh, young, approach NEON footwear not only screams fashion but feels luxurious as well.

Head designer and Managing Director at NEON, Sarah-Jayne Newey comments:

“From the start we always wanted NEON to be a high fashion footwear brand, dominated by bold colours and metallics as well as more neutral shades. The shows earlier this year really demonstrated that bright colours are making a huge comeback throughout 2014 and 2015. The deep blues and bold yellows are key trends for this year and we’re delighted that our Pool Blue and Candied Peel trainers will add a touch of this high fashion trend to any outfit.

“At NEON we pride ourselves on not only staying on-trend but creating the trends. Our trainers are beautifully crafted, luxurious, born in Britain and high fashion – a fabulous combination. The UK fashion industry is respected across the world and we are extremely proud to be part of this.”

STOP! PUT DOWN THE ENERGY DRINK READ THIS FIRST!

Before you drink yet another traditional energy drink it’s important you understand why you are lacking energy and why drinks like Red Bull aren’t doing anything for your health. 6 Vitamin Shots have been developed to banish fatigue and welcome a new way of delivering that much needed energy boost.

So how do 6 Vitamin Shots work and how is this HUGELY different from other energy drinks?

Essentially energy CAN ONLY come from calories which is why most energy drinks are jam packed full of kcals and sugar. 6 Vitamin Shots only have 10 calories which in energy-drink terms is nothing and contain no sugar whatsoever. This is because vitamins and minerals of course have no calories. The reason people feel tired and listless is often due to a poor diet or one that contains little iron and B vitamins both of which are essential for controlling mood, depression and nerves. Iron helps the blood go around the body, so if you’re low in iron you feel breathless, fed-up and as if everything is an effort. A lack of vitamin B can make you feel tired and weak along with making skin look pale and hair lack-lustre.

That is where 6 comes in. One LITTLE bottle of 6 contains a very LARGE concentration of B Vitamins, replenishing your diminished stock and eliminating fatigue instead of momentarily preventing it. Not only does 6 contain all of your vital daily vitamins but the little shot packs a huge punch with

6 Vitamin Shots are available 6vitaminshot.co.uk for £2.50 per bottle.
