Beautiful Valentino Haute Spring 2014
If Haute Couture has an everyday function, it must surely be that of inspiring and delighting those of us who love beauty. Whether you’d wear it or can afford it really isn’t the point of the party, is it? Sure, sure, there’s an obvious marketing statement to be made as well as reference to the […]
MoreChanel Haute S/S 2014
I’m not a Karl fangirl but gotta say that I love these two looks from Chanel Haute Couture in Paris this week. Head to toe, they punk my Tinkerbell fantasies – are you shaking it down with me on this …? See more from Chanel Haute Couture at Fashionising.
MoreDior Lust …
The above is my favourite of today’s published (yesterday’s actual) Paris Haute Couture – Dior S/S 2014. Of course, no one normal wears Haute Couture, do they? But I’m not the only one who gets a kick from the show, shape and style, I’m sure. Fizz for the aesthetic senses … and I’m a Billy […]

Winter Warmth
My boiler broke down today – yikes, no heat or hot water – and I am freezing. I’ve spent most of the day huddled under throws, thinking about the fabulous cashmere that I’ve been looking at all week. Whilst a brilliant engineer fixed my boiler – yay, warm house and water for the weekend – […]
MoreMore Cashmere At Rae Feather
Freezing my butt off here today so still trawling for warm winter Cashmere. Love the Lottie Tunic from Rae Feather, above, which is available in other colours, including black. Their sizing goes up to a UK 16 but some styles, like Lottie, are cut quite generously and might fit a size up. Otherwise there are […]
MoreWall London Spring 2014 Collection
Continuing 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 […]
MoreLaura Hunter, sold on Artful Home
I’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 […]
MoreMelissa McCarthy At The Golden Globes
I thought Melissa McCarthy looked fab in her – apparently self-designed – dress at the Golden Globes last night. Always tricky for plus-sizes who are so cruelly scrutinised at such events, she managed both glamourous and comfortable, in my opinion. Slightly sad that Chewetel Ejiofor didn’t win Best Actor as I’d been blown away by […]
