Inspirational Women: Maira Kalman
I have just been re-acquainting myself with Maira Kalman’s fabulously funny illustrations and ‘stream of consciousness’ words. Amazing how much you both forget and are familiar with when you really start looking at something, no? If you are not aware of her and what she does, you might want to start by looking at this […]
MoreLust List: Sophia Webster Sandals
Saw these at the weekend and fell in love. Aren’t they just too cute? Sadly, I think they are for children. Damn! I just can’t wear the adult version – so not wheelchair friendly – lovely as they are:
MoreWeird Feet and 3D Printing
I thought it was a bit of a gimmick at first but, with more and more uses of them to be seen in design journals at least, it seems that 3D printers may prove to be a boon for those us who suffer foot problems. i’ve written many times about the problems I have finding […]
MoreSqueeze-On Earrings
If you have dexterity problems with your hands and find pierced, or even clip-on, earrings tricky to handle, these squeeze-on earrings, sold at Kabiri, might possibly be a solution for you. They are cute, and come in a heart shape from Coops Of London, as well as in gold and silver along with the rose […]
MoreRefreshing Sites …
With another fab new Stickman illustration included for kicks (don’t ya love this one – pretty colours …). above, just thought I’d mention that lots of people seem to be refreshing and updating their websites over the summer months and some have even begun to feature new season stock – I know, it’s a bit […]
MoreAnna Scholz Sale
Quick heads-up to say that Anna Scholz – big bold plus size designs – have reduced their entire stock by lots of £££ in a last summer push to entice you. With the psycho babble in my head re being overweight, medication, body dissonance et al., Anna Scholz’ prints are just way too out there […]
MoreSushilla Jewellery
Okay, it’s a bit of a cheat but if you love Pippa Small Jewellery – which I do – and can’t afford it – which I can some, some not – these Sushilla sparklies make a fab substitute at a lot less £££’s. Sometimes only the real thing will do but other times … for […]
MoreWeekend Arts: Erwin Blumenfeld
I would love to be spending my time this weekend at Somerset House, browsing the Erwin Blumenfeld exhibition, on until 1 September 2013. Sadly, in this heat, I will be at home struggling to stay cool – in every sense of that word. Maybe later in the summer, when it’s cooler …
MoreLike My Bra? Hold The Applause …
I’m a huge supporter of stylish adaptive clothing but I’m not sure this ‘Clap-Off’ Bra quite hits the mark? Supposedly for arthritis sufferers, and anyone else struggling with clasps, the front fastening springs open if you clap – not something to wear to the theatre then or, indeed, any event where applause is the order […]
