From catwalk to editorial – The Row, pictured, above, in Vogue UK September 2014 and, below, at NYFW: The Row earlier this year: The Olsen twins are opening their first The Row retail outlet in Los Angeles later this year. Would love to go but doubt I shall find myself in LA anytime soon … […]
MoreA couple of months back, I featured the Burberry Prorsum Bloomsbury Bag and now, ta-da, Burberry have added a stunning range of ponchos and scarves (wraps at c.2m long and 70cm wide) to their Autumn/Winter Burberry Prorsum retail offer. As a plus-size, wheelchair user, I love big wrap-around items like these. I am able to […]
MoreThe 2014 Autumn/Winter collections are pouring into retail outlets at the moment and, whilst not quite ready to spend my £££, I am keeping my eyes open for things I like, especially the everyday wear that is so difficult to get in plus-sizes at good quality for a reasonable price. With that as my brief, I’d […]
MoreI saw these two beautiful dresses from the Alberta Ferretti Resort 2015 collection, above and below, on CoolChicStyleFashion a few days ago. There is something about the drama of exquisite colour and texture that demands simplicity in design and style, no? For plus-sizes and wheelchair users, this is as relevant as for anyone else, I […]
MoreYohji Yamamoto: “Black is modest and arrogant at the same time. Black is lazy and easy – but mysterious. But above all black says this: “I don’t bother you – don’t bother me.” Those are words I live my life by. From #Wordweek: Favourite Fashion Quotes – all on AnOther Magazine celebrating, yes, you […]
MoreSo, it’s the hottest day of the year pretty much, time to roll out the winter woollies, no? I’m thinking this Maxi Muffler by Wool and the Gang might be just the thing in wheelchair, or not, chic come the autumn? £120 to buy or £70 for a do-it-yourself knit-kit from a fun site for […]
MoreI know, I’m a sucker for a pretty package and mascara doesn’t come any prettier than this Grandiose example of the to-die-for cosmetic from Lancome – seriously, can there be such a thing? Whatever, D has his instructions and will be at his local corner shop – which just happens to be Selfridges whilst he […]
MoreI’m not a Lagerfeld or Chanel fangirl by and large but who doesn’t love a beautiful pussy like Karl Lagerfeld’s Choupette who, according to Fashion Gone Rogue is: “slated to headline a holiday makeup collection [for Shu Uemura] called Shupette which is reported to feature items such as furry false lashes with fun quotes from […]
MoreThe Beautiful Valentino Haute Spring 2014 collection was, for me, one of the highlights of this year’s collections so it was interesting to see how Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli would follow it up. And, I wasn’t disappointed though, with my hopes and expectations so high, it would be a lie to say I thought […]
MoreWow, I want those earrings – just so me … as is the entire eclecticism of these looks from Maison Martin Margiela Haute Couture collection F/W 2014. (Oh, oh, I like the yellow earrings in the bottom picture best but with the outfit above). Sigh, wish I was able to carry this off in a […]
