I really don't want to moan…besides the sun is out!

The year started very optimistically but soon plummeted when I heard the news that Harrods might be ‘editing’ and ‘relocating’ their plus-size department. In London it was the only department like it within a major store that had it’s own particular location and specialist staff. Selfridges abandoned their plus-sizes ages ago and have even be...

So it's that time of year again

So it’s that time of the year again…

…and why can’t we buy enough occasion wear?

We're nearing Christmas again – this year the build-up is more muted. The shops are more cautious with their décor as well as their Christmas stock. I do not know whether it is due to short ordering or something else bu...

Big boots are made for walking…

But that’s just what they don’t!…

Imelda Marcus had it great.
But her lifestyle…to be honest was up to debate.

as ...

Are the highstreets getting easier to shop on?…

It was very rare for me during my teenage years to confidently go out shopping with my friends – the usual trip on a Saturday every girl makes to buy a top and some make-up ready for an evening out was always an anathema to me. Firstly, the thought of any of my friends actually seein...

The curse of the curve

Big bras and even bigger pants!…

I’ve just bought a bra! I have to say it’s not just an ordinary bra it is a gorgeous fuchsia underwired bit of outrageousness that glows out of my underwear drawer each time I open it.
I’ve decided that I am going to treat myself once a month to a different colour until they’re pouring out of the ...

A look at the larger side of life

 The ‘Inbetweenies’…A Personal Shopper’s gripe.

There has been a revolution!

Fashion companies got together a few years ago and agreed that the sizing of their clothing was all wrong! They could not understand why women were complaining that they were unable to fit into their clothes ranges anymore.
