Next – Customise your denim
The word ‘customise’ fills me with dread, I’m not that handy with a needle and thread….. I love fashion, every single element of it, but my own skills with a needle and thread are amateur, scrap that, infantile to say the least. So when Next approached me to see if I would like to take part in a special customisation challenge I was both excited and terrified, especially as the competition was being judged by someone who really does have a talent for customising and personalising clothing, Kirsty from Fashion For Lunch.

Those were the days when screen goddesses like Grace Kelly, Elizabeth Taylor and Doris Day chose feminine styles that have set the trend for prom and homecoming dresses for decades to come.

Can High Heels ever be comfortable as well as beautiful?
I feel as though I am currently living two different shoe lives. My public life is spent constantly running around in high heels. Functions, nights out, weddings, funerals, meetings with the bank manager and more are all attended in heels – the higher, the better. But the private me, the mommy playing football in the garden, running in the park or trying to manoeuvre the trolley with the wonky wheels at the supermarket, spends her time in flat ballerina pumps. They are so much more comfortable and I can do so much more when I’m wearing them. But, try as I might to convert myself to their merits, I still…
