It was pointed out to me just recently that a lot of women, well actually a lot of men, prefer a women’s ass to look big. They find it incredibly sexy. And we do like to please our men. So for those women who want to make your bottom the focus of an outfit here […]
Am I Really A Pear Shape?
I spend a lot of time talking about the pear shape, mostly because it’s the most talked about and most recognizable shape. But the more research I do the more I realize that it’s really impossible to define body shapes that accurately. For instance lets examine the pear shape. The standard definition of a pear […]
At A Glance: Small Bust
If you have a small bust then you need to go with sleek, chic clothes. You can also go for added extras that most girls can’t manage along with some fabulously sexy low cut tops. You lucky devils. OPT FOR Halter necklines Crew necklines Subtle revelations (eg fitted blazer with nothing underneath) Girly details like […]
Love The Detailing

So.. Do I Reveal or Conceal?
I bought a gorgeous little top the other day – a chiffon top with an empire waist and awesome drape perfect for concealing a big stomach. I fell in love when I saw it, tried it on and it looked fabulous. Just like that a wonderful relationship began. But, sadly it was not to be. […]
What To Wear: If You’re A Rectangle
If you have broad shoulders, wide hips and not a lot of waist in between then you’re a rectangle, or as the fashion industry would call you an Apple. You might be tempted to cover up with shapeless, baggy clothes but then you’d be missing out on a whole lot of fun creating curves right […]
