Plus Size Girls: Tips For Wearing A Short Dress
While this year’s prom has come and gone, the well-prepared girl is always planning ahead and if you are a plus sizer and want to go short with your look, you’ve come to the right place. In this article, we offer a few tips from the pros on how to carry off that short dress look at the prom. Dress Length – Whether above or below the knee, the length of your dress should be one that you’re comfortable with. It might be calf-length that suits you best, or just above the knee.

March Outfit Post – #WIWT
March. Well that was a strange month wasn’t it! It started off with the Beast from the East , and some of the coldest conditions I think I have ever lived through, and ended with Easter, which also promised snow, but turned out to be not too bad after all. For me, March was the month of many birthdays, a few nice theatre visits, an amazing bottomless brunch, and a trip to Wales for a good wind down. It was busy, and seemed to fly by. (Is it just me or do the years seem to go even quicker as you get older?) In terms of clothing, it was a…

January Outfit Post #WIWT
My hatred for the month of January knows no bounds. It is always a cold month, and following on from all the brightness and sparkle of December, it would be hard to it to shine. No-one seems to have any money, there’s not a lot going on, and to top it all, some of the most amazing people seem to choose this month to bow out, with David Bowie, Alan Rickman, Dolores O’Riorden and my football hero Cyrille Regis all dying in this most depressing of months. Yes, January is horrible. Janaury’s outfit post is a mixture of old favourites, charity shop finds and sales bargains. The end of sales…

December Outfits Post
December was lovely. December was fun. It combined lots of opportunities for going out, to theatres, shows, for a long weekend in Blackpool for Joe’s ninth birthday, but it also had to be juggled against horrendous flu, which made me feel miserable throughout the fun. In terms of outfits, December is the perfect time to wear sparkle, a time when you can find those pieces you have hidden in the back of the wardrobe, and wear them because you really shouldn’t be outshone by your Christmas tree. I found items like the golden skirt that I’ve had for a few years, but always drag it out again at Christmas, and…

Hootenanny 2017 – Beth Ditto and Jessie Ware
Jools Holland’s Hootenanny has become the traditional way to end the year, a guarantee of some good music to make any knees up go with a end of year bang. And even if your party consists of you and the wife/hubby due to being a parent, and if your New Year’s outfit is actually your pyjamas, when George McCrae is ringing in the new year singing ‘Rock your baby’ all is right with the world. You have the best disco in the world right there in your living room and all you need to is continue into the night playing your retro cheap vinyl (not Cds and definitely not an…
