I’ve abandoned today’s topic for an article on 40+ Style that I read today: Design your own Shoes. If you read my blog at all, you’ll know that I’m always banging on about this so figured why reinvent the wheel when someone is rolling along with it somewhere else. Click on the link, find some […]
MoreHow great to welcome online a new retail experience for stylish, grown up, women: Winser London. Looking around the website, there are some lovely relaxed styles and a whole section devoted to SHOP BLACK – marvellous to see … finally someone is getting the concept most dear to me. From their Style Agenda section, they […]
MoreI went to an event at The Queen Elizabeth Hall yesterday, at the Southbank Centre in London. It was part of the WOW Festival and featured the premiere of a documentary film on Alice Walker, Beauty In Truth. Following the film was a Q&A with Alice Walker and the director of the film, Pratibha Pramar. […]
MoreOw, my brain hurts. This has been a week of harsh realities for me and I am in the process of thinking again about how best to transition my ideas for Plus Black from concept to reality. I really need to focus on where I’m at which I guess I’d summarise as: Middle Aged. Menopausal. […]

MoreNo apologies for returning to the subject of shoes for those of us with poor circulation and who might be wheelchair users. I still have, at the back of my mind, the idea of designing some footwear that will look good and accommodate swollen and/or non-walking feet. I could do worse than take inspiration from […]
MoreAlways on the lookout for easy fastenings, my physio, Farshideh, Birkdale Neuro Physio Clinic , drew my attention to some rather fab necklaces and bracelets at COS, much like the chainmail one above. Pretty, inexpensive and very nice, simple magnetic clasps. I’ve added a few more images below of similar items. If you like these […]

If you have an impairment, disability or illness, Really Useful Stuff can be hard to find and, more so, if you aren’t really sure what you need. Even when you find what you think you need, you worry: […]
MoreI was reading an article in the Intelligent Life series on Inspiring Women this weekend which turned my mind to women who have Inspirational Style.
