I 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. Good grief, like life isn’t bad enough without being taunted by them…? (Ironic joke there for anyone who might imagine I am that shallow … oh, but […]
MoreI’m always looking out for bags that look great and work for me in the wheelchair. If I need access to a bag, I want hands free, non-dangling and flat so I am able to see where I’m going. If it will double up and carry bigger stuff too, I want to be able to […]
MoreMax at Blue Badge Style posted a great piece on Trendy Mobility Aids: Sticks, Canes And Crutches For The Discerning Disabled yesterday. I particularly liked the canes by Omhu. If you are mobility impaired or know someone who is, go across there, take a look and pass the information on. Have you seen or do […]
MoreLove the sense of cosy affirmation I feel when I read others writing, talking, and feeling, the way I do about style and comfort for grown-up women – it’s what the Plus Black ethos is all about and encourages me to continue with both my writing and behind the scenes efforts, as well as giving […]
MoreDont’cha just love those huge black roses with the white above? I do. It’s such a simple look and works for curvy plus sizes too (though Viktor and Rolf probably don’t do plus sizes). Amazingly, in summer, I do occasionally mix up the black with just a hint of white or grey – wild, I […]

MoreI like earrings. Maybe I’ve mentioned it before. Big, bold, junk earrings. I don’t really do fine jewellery. And yet, somehow, ear cuffs have eluded me to date. I’m a bit late to this party but, suddenly, I’m seeing ear cuffs all over the place – like the ones from Dreams of Norway (very nice rings […]
MoreHave all my prayers been answered? Soft furry soles, it’s a miracle … Comfortable looking footwear that could be adapted for those of us with problem feet: these are just so funny that I might actually wear them. How long has it been since I’ve had nail varnish on my toes … or felt the […]
MoreNavabi: designer fashion in sizes 12 to 28. Not only is Navabi one of the biggest and best of plus size retailers online, they also produce an online magazine and run a blog. If you’re interested in designer fashion for plus sizes you really should take a look at where they’re at. I don’t think I’ve […]
MoreTake a look at this new Japanese collection, Moyuru, at Walkers of Pottergate: Moyuru is mainly a loose fitting and flowing collection … so if you prefer your clothes to hug your body, this one isn’t for you… but if you fancy, playful, edgy, and truly inspirational clothing, then do try this amazing new collection.
