Welcome, I'm Elle Wellesley. Stiletto Wheels is my personal blog on managing dramatic, illness-induced, lifestyle change - from stiletto heels to heels on wheels. Plus Black is my lifestyle blog where I share my inspiration and ideas for sustaining stylish fabulousness through life's unexpected transitional moments. Ever optimistic, I continue to believe that it is possible to lead a fabulous life in heels on wheels. Smiles 💋 Elle

MoreOw, my brain hurts.  This has been a week of harsh realities for me and I am in the process of thinking again about how best to transition my ideas for Plus Black from concept to reality. I really need to focus on where I’m at which I guess I’d summarise as: Middle Aged.  Menopausal. […]
