Hiya! I’m a former Londoner visiting from Canada for a week in July, and I’m looking for some recommendations of where to shop for some wedding guest dresses. I have six weddings this summer, so I’m hoping to pick up one or two nice dresses. In particular, for one of the weddings we’re being encouraged to go formal and really bold/creative. Definitely interested in finding some unique pieces but also totally open to classic styles. Vintage is great too. I’d say my top end of budget is around £300. Thanks for your help!

Hi! I'm going to be walking from St Ives to Penzance on the South West Coast Path over 5 days in mid-July this year. And maybe a day hike near Lizard. I'm planning to buy some new trail runners and am really torn between getting waterproof or not.

In particular, I'm looking at the Salewa Pedroc 2 PTX or not PTX. (Powertex is Salewa's own waterproofing which claims to be breathable.) I own a pair of old Salomon mid-height hiking boots with a gore-tex lining which I wore for the WHW last May, but I'm thinking maybe trail runners will be more suitable for this trip. I've only ever had gore-tex lined hiking boots/trail runners.

Is it typically wet/muddy in July along that section? Do you reckon my feet will get super hot at that time of year with waterproofing? From what I understand, weather in Cornwall can be all over the place.

Any thoughts or advice on footwear would be much appreciated! I'll also be carrying a pack with all my stuff, but not camping.

(I live in Canada near Banff, so it would be great if the runners are versatile here too.)

Thanks so much!! :)
