Having read about illustrator Helen Bullock, see illustration above, in both AnOther magazine – Drama At Prada AW14 – and 1883 magazine – Interview Helen Bullock, I clicked across to her own website for more info. From there, I went on to SHOWstudio and, oh yes, this I like: SHOWstudio is an award-winning fashion website, founded […]
MoreI really like this oversize top by Moyuru, £160 from Walkers of Pottergate and it comes in my favourite black too. Problem is I have a ton of tops at the moment so it feels a bit extravagant to get another. Should I, should I not? Deep questions … if you’re plus sized or an […]
MoreI looked up the Ivan Grundahl Fall/Winter 2014 Collection, on the Copenhagen Fashion Week site, today – another of my favourite designer brands. And, it’s just fab-u-lous. All the images I’ve used here are to be found in the CFC Ivan Grundahl Runway Images section and there are many more besides. I encourage you to […]
MoreContinuing with my theme from yesterday, another Spring Collection is available online from one of my favourite stores for ‘differently-normal’ shapes and sizes: Wall London Spring 2014 Collection. As well as being easy fit, Wall sizes routinely go to UK 18-20 and up to UK 24 for their, more limited, OS range.. Along with sleek […]
MoreI’ve never been a huge fan of January Sales – oh, okay, they serve a purpose if there’s something specific you want to buy but, generally, I’m totally shopped out post Christmas. It’s really only as new seasons’ stock begins to trickle online that my aesthetic sense reawakens and doesn’t that date get earlier and […]

MoreI cannot be the only person shivering my butt off right now whose thoughts are turning to scarves? Generally, I’d consider scarves an essential but in the form of this Uma Wang Scarf, sold on Farfetch, £418 … well, this would have to be thought of as a treat. Umm, a treat with serious gift […]
MoreThis cuddly Toscana Lambskin Cape, £795, looks like just the thing to keep me warm in my wheelchair during the upcoming cold snap due in the next week. Totally love things that I am able to just shrug on and go … It’s from Poetry, a UK online site, who do a nice range of […]
MoreThe Old Ladies Rebellion: what a fantastic name for an online shop. Linked via the Advanced Style posting on Bridget Sojouner, I went across to take a look. I like it … a lot. From the About page: Born in France, Fanny Karst spent part of her childhood in London. After graduating from Central Saint Martins […]
MoreI’ve just been laughing myself through the comments on this: Buying Plus Size Clothes: Expectations Vs Reality. Laughing because so much of it rings true and doubly so for those of us with ‘additional’ problems like, er, being in a wheelchair or having some other medical/physical issue which excludes even more possibilities when hunting for […]
