Old is Best

Yes I’m back from my hols. I did consider taking ‘photies’ of me by the pool in my very old Vivienne Westwood pirate top which I use a s a funky bikini cover up!

But I didn’t Ha! I wasn’t thinking about work matters for a brief moment back there and it did me the power of good.

So have a look at a pre-hol getup! Before I left I posed for a portrait for a book called ‘Cool London,’ for which I wore my leather jacket and my Viv jeans, this is me before I left to go to the studio. My jacket is really rather old – well and truly personal vintage but I still wear it. Old is good.

.I’m three weeks away from the London Fashion Week charity event I have been organising. And I am getting closer to being able to live life without the need to chain myself to a hot laptop. I’m really chuffed with M&S as I can reveal they stepped in and helped out with some very timely sponsorship.

As a thank you I have agreed to take part in their ‘Vogue Shopping Night,’ on Thursday 10th of Sept. So come along because I will be giving lots of body shape tips as I profile their new collections. I’ll check out which store and let you know.

Hey I may even be able to get some autumn shopping in myself so I will be sure to prioritise some figure fixing looks too.

    Hi! I wish you would/could comment on stores, etc. that are in the USA, too! That would be so helpful. Do you ever come to the USA to put on an event? If so, I’d love to know about it, so that I can attend. I’m in the Atlanta, GA area. Thanks!

    HI Robin, Thanks for you feedback. At the moment we don’t cover USA as we are a small outfit. I’m glad you get the message that any size is beautiful and any women can look amazing whatever her shape, the practical help comes in the form of our e-books around body shape. At the moment sadly that is as far as we can go but watch this space!
