What To Wear If You’re Petite: Accessories

I came across this video I wanted to share about accessorizing for petite women. The basic idea is that if you're little then you need little accessories. The video shows how to choose what will work best. So what if you're petite but not necessarily little? You need to balance your frame. ...

Style Icon: Sophia Loren

One of my favourite style icons is Sophia Loren. She always looks impecable turned out, ultra feminine and very sexy. All this from a woman who's 70 plus years old. She has a simple, elegant style and she sticks with it. If I can emulate even a little of her style then ...

Recently the VMA's were held and in true completely superficial fashion (pun intended) I've been checking out what all the stars wore and, just as interesting, what people have to say about that. Everyone has a different viewpoint. One thing all the commentators seem to agree on is that highlight ...

The other day I read an article about a piece published in the Observer, a British paper. They'd taken a couple of size 16 women, models, and done a photo shoot. The idea being that size 16 is the average size of British women. They were shocked by the results ...

The 12 Shapes Of Trinny and Susannah

The more I learn about body shape the more resistant I am to actually defining a shape. One of the things that I, personally, have gained from writing this website is a greater measure of understanding of my own body and the shape that it is. How that translates into ...

One of the things I really want to achieve with this site is a resource where you can find good information, for free, on how to dress for your shape, so that other people like me, who didn't know an empire line from a kitten heel, can, from scratch, develop ...
