    Women’s lingerie buying and how to get it right first time

    November 13, 2019 /

    Buying knickers, bras and other lovely things should be fun. However purchasing women’s lingerie for a loved one or yourself can prove challenging. Fear not as we have an expert on hand with top tips to help you get it right first time. Women’s lingerie sizing Size is important. I highly recommend having a subtle snoop through the labels of your special someone’s current collection. Bra sizing is a combination of numbers and letters – for example 34B, 32DD and knickers will be labeled with numbers 8, 10, 12 – or a simple S, M, L. Jot the sizes down and take them shopping with you. Knickers The bottom line…

    Rydale tweed blazer review – the country classic

    October 27, 2019 /

    As a Yorkshire lass who lives in the countryside, I was delighted to be asked to review an item from Rydale. It is always good fun to jazz up your winter wardrobe.  I chose a new short, sharp and stylish tweed blazer. I have wanted a blazer for some time and was thinking of a Navy Blue one but Rydale Clothing offers such a selection in different tweeds. So without further ado from this country lady, here is my Rydale tweed blazer review. Rydale tweed blazer review The first thing to comment on is the quality of the blazer. It is so clearly durable and made from hard wearing 100%…

    Ways to accessorize your outfit

    September 22, 2019 /

    I was lucky to have a brother who worked in fashion when I was younger. This meant as a Yorkshire lass in the Eighties I would receive gifts from London from him. I particularly loved chunky belts and also remember having a fine range of Swatch watches and Monty Don jewellery. It was a great start for a young woman to learn how to jazz up things when heading out for the evening. Although he would send me ball gowns, dresses and jackets, it was the accessories I loved most of all. Today, I am sharing 5 ways to accessorize your outfit so you stand out from the crowd. I…

    Summer is just around the corner and apparently we are in for a long heatwave. I am not the greatest fan of extreme heat and one of the reasons is that you can bet I will be tormented with chub rub. If you don’t know what that is the other term is chafing. It means your thighs rub against each other in the heat making you sore at best and bleeding at worst. This year will be different though as now I know you can protect yourself from chafing with Blooming Sexy.

    Perfect Spring and Summer dresses might be on my mind as the weather warms up a little. However, these days the really stylish female in the family is my 14 year old daughter Willow. Gone are the days where I could buy clothes for her. She has definite ideas what she likes and woe betide me if I second-guess her. However, she was super excited when I said that she could choose a dress from David Charles. This is the place to find designer children’s dresses for little ones right up to teenagers.

    Workwear for professional women can be challenging. Women who work are busy in their careers and might also be juggling the demands of parenting and/or caring for elderly relatives. Somewhere in the mix they will be trying to have a social life and keep up with hobbies. There often isn’t time in the day to spend hours going from shop to shop to find outfits for the workplace. That means online shopping is the route for workwear for professional women but it can be difficult to know which stores you can trust for quality and good customer service.

    When people see wedding dresses modelled in magazines or online, the body shapes shown are typically perfectly proportioned skinny and hour-glass. However, you should not let that put a downer on your wedding dress shopping expeditions. Weddings, and wedding preparations, should be a time for only complete happiness so there is no room for any body-confidence knocking. There are plenty of wedding dress styles to suit any body-shape, as this post will hopefully show you. It’s important though to remember that although there may be certain dress shapes that suit certain shapes, if you feel good in a dress, that’s all that matters.

    Plus size fashion sometimes seems like a contradiction in terms. Yes you can get clothing if you are a larger or curvaceous woman but it seems all too often the colours and styles are so drab.
