Get your gladrags sorted – it’s almost Christmas
Have you suddenly noticed that your inbox is starting to overflow with party invites? Are you already synchronising diaries with friends, family and loved ones in order to arrange that pre-christmas meal, works drinks and New Years Eve events? If the answer to any of the above questions is yes, then step this way. A great place to look for occasionwear for women is Bonmarche. This High Street store keeps quietly providing great quality dresses that flatter the figure and appeal to those who want to look great without revealing too much flesh.

Kelly Brook’s latest collection for New Look – a whole lot of Sparkle
Kelly Brook’s latest drop has just arrived at New Look, and it is literally sparkling. Full of sequins and glitter, and Jessica Rabbit styled slinky dresses, Kelly is yet again encouraging women to love and embrace their curves and dress like a Hollywood star. With Christmas just around the corner, this collection is a perfect way to embrace all that is glossy and glamorous about the festive season. The standout pieces are the full length sequinned evening gowns in silver and (my personal favourite) pewter. I love these dresses, all the emphasis is placed on the back as an erogenous zone, making them super slinky, and making you look just…

The current series of Downton Abbey came to an end last night. This series had been set in the decade known as the roaring 20s and had allowed flapper fashions to light up our Sunday evenings.

Maybe that is why there are so many 1920s style dresses available this Christmas. And whilst the fallacy is that this is a style only made for extremely boyish figures, the reality is somewhat different. I myself wore the beautiful Evans Gatsby…

Party Dress season is here!
Well it’s the first of November and the party season is now truly here. I’ve just received my invite to my first Christmas party and it was for next week – a keen reminder that these days the parties and celebrations start earlier and earlier. The best thing about the festivities is that you finally get the chance to wear a truly showstopping dress, something that makes you feel ultra glamorous – like a Hollywood movie star. Some of the most gorgeous dresses I’ve seen this year come from Phase Eight. As well as the glorious Collection 8, there are a wide range of other dresses that will suit every…

Curvissa – beautiful dressing for those curves
Curvissa is an Aladdin’s cave of a website full of the most exquisite of dresses for those of us blessed with curves. I recently discovered this site whilst looking for a party dress and was seriously impressed by the choice and variation in styles. These are dresses that totally accentuate fuller figures rather than trying to shroud them. And instead of the slimming ‘black’, we are blessed with dresses that show style, colour and elegance. There are Grecian style gowns, figure hugging sexy numbers and flirty prom styles..basically something for every taste. And these dresses come in sizes from 14-32. Here are some of my favourites from an extensive range.…
