Every sane person is looking out of their window enjoying the longer, milder days that we are experiencing and relishing the thought that Spring is imminently upon us. Whilst I cannot speak for everyone else, I am one of the crazy few with one eye on the various fashion week shows, currently in progress, seriously […]

Incontinence: unsexy, unstylish, unspeakable?

In 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.

Good-looking Bags: For Wheelchair Users too …

I’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 […]

Dont’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 […]

Ear cuffs – do we like or not like?

I 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 […]

Having a Phoebe Philo heavenly foot moment …

Have 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 […]
