Brasserie One, London: Access 007 style by @BendyGirl

I digress from personal style today as, having seen it on Youtube, I think the world needs to know about Access 007 Style for wheelchairs users in London. As cities go, London doesn’t do too badly for universal access even with its’ wonky streets and old buildings however it is far from 100% accessible for […]

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 […]

Trendy Mobility Aids @bluebadgestyle

Max 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 […]

Style and Comfort: Couture Du Jour

Love 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 […]

Variation on a theme – White Plus Black

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 […]

Skin cancer sufferer? John Rocha hats

Oh, I know the title to this post sounds overly dramatic but if you’re a skin cancer sufferer, like me, you absolutely cannot go out without a hat in summer (or winter really too) … and lashings of sun protector. I have to admit I don’t always take my own advice (er, yes, the sun […]

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 […]
