Trinny and Susannah’s Lollipop shape is described as big tits, slight waist, slim hips and long legs. Think tall and slender, almost boyish really. Legs and arms will be long and slim leading to hips that are slender and a waist that is barely there. A lollipop is sort of straight up and down, right […]
Trinny and Susannah: The Pear
Trinny and Susannah’s pear shape is defined as: small tits, long waist, flat tummy, saddlebags and heavy legs. Ok. Ummm….but what does that mean. Basically you have big thighs. In contrast to a Cello who also has big thighs, your top half is pretty small, which sadly makes your thighs look even bigger. In fact […]
What You Been Doing Lisa?
Its been quite some time since I’ve written anything on this blog but I really feel the need to finish off. So despite my long absence, or possibly because of it I’ve decided to actually get back into it. So how’s my style getting on? Well I’m glad you asked. I gained weight. Basically I […]
Curves are X-Rated
Since when did having curves somehow make me a porn star? This article from Harpers Bazaar gave me a serious double take. Combined with a recent case where a bra advert for television featuring a curvy model was pulled off-air because it was deemed too sexy I think the obsession with judging peoples bodies and […]
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.

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 I will be […]
Wardrobe Planning Step 1: How Do You Spend Your Time?
When I started researching for this project what I planned was a a short session where I sat down, filled in a couple blank questionnaires and hey presto! shopping list. With only a little preliminary research I already know that its not going to be that simple. So … What Is Wardrobe Planning? For a […]
New Project: Plan A Wardrobe
I’ve always had this dream about clothes – specifically a wardrobe full of beautiful, sexy clothes that fit wonderfully and are perfectly me. Possibly this is not much of a surprise since you’re reading this on my blog about style. That said I have to say I’m not much of a fan of fashion. I […]
Where To Go From Here
I haven’t posted for a while because I’ve been in two minds as to whether to continue this blog or not. Recently I’ve been reading lots of different stuff about body image. I struggle constantly with my own body image, and it tends to permeate every part of my life. When I step out of […]
Must Not Have Dress
I saw this gorgeous dress on one of the style blogs I subscribe to. Truly this is a beautiful dress but since the post was entitled “must buy for autumn” or words to that effect I just had to laugh because this dress is actually not going to flatter a lot of shapes. Avoid this […]
