Lee-Ann Curran’s collection for Roxy
Price: Boardshort: £55 Watch: £55
For summer 2011 Roxy has added to its surf portfolio and introduced the Lee-Ann Curren Pro Model watch and boardshort to its collection. The boardshorts come in cool blue, indie denim style fabric that has all the technical spec you would expect from Roxy. The Diamond Dobby fabric means this boardshort is quick drying and lightweight, providing extra comfort and fit.
Bright blue and yellow, the Roxy Lee-Ann Curren watch is perfect for those who are in and out the water. Combining an alarm, EL light up and water resistance 10ATM , this design is perfect for a summer of surfing.

Reebok EasyTone collection
Price: From £40-£50
While we are not big fans of footwear that makes wild promises about toning and sculpting we do like Reebok’s EasyTone apparel collection. Not because it will miraculously make you slimmer just by slipping it on, but because the ResisTone bands which fit snug against the skin encourage correct posture and muscle alignment.
The bootleg trousers are a good choice for those who prefer not to wear leggings. But be warned all the items come up quite small, no doubt due to the EasyTone fabric technology.
