Hey, just a quick reminder that, if you’re free, the first Official British Plus-Size Fashion Weekend is taking place at Shoreditch Town Hall this weekend, February 15 and 16, 2013. Read more in The Evening Standard or at Evolve Magazine website.
MoreIn The Times, 2 days ago, Dr Mark Porter wrote an article, What can women do about incontinence? The article is mainly about medical definitions and solutions to managing incontinence – click the link to read it but it is behind a paywall. The topic set me off thinking, as I do, about style and […]
MoreI love these shoes, above, from the Alexander Wang A/W 2013 show. Ludicrously impractical for a wheelchair using, non-walking person with poor circulation and swollen feet and ankles.
