One of the most notable Autumnal must have’s, has been the over sized knitted cardigan. All scrummy and warm, they also offer elegant curves for the fashionista.
One of the most talked about examples, has been Stella McCartney’s oversized Polar Bear printed jumper, which could just as easily be worn as a dress or layered over jeans. Either way, it’s snug chic personified…
With the Christmas Party season fast approaching, you might want to give some serious consideration to your footwear. Comfortable and stylish must be the order of the day.
Something like these Alexander McQueen Gladiator Sandals fit the bill. Their not cheap, retailing at a pricey £455 ($900), but uber cool they certainly are and surprisingly comfortable too.
The sandals are made from black patent leather karung, with an approximately 130mm stiletto heel, a silver-tone buckle and karung patchwork detail.
The ubiquitous, UK stylista’s Trinny and Susanah have a bee in their bonnet about incorrectly fitted bras. Congratulations to them for raising this issue which blights many women’s lives. Poor posture, back ache and sagging can all be traced back to poor fitting bra’s.
So why are so many women struggling with poorly fitted bras?
Trinny Woodall and Susannah Constantine in their new show “Undress the Nation” decided to find out by testing the various measurement services offered by high street retailers.
What they discovered was that each shop they visited provided completely different measurements. Add this to the fact that there appears to be no standardised sizing between bra manufacturers and you have a recipe for disaster.
The message here, is to ensure that you are properly fitted for a bra each time you buy one. It won’t just improve posture - you will also see clothes fitting better.
Further to this, Trinny and Susannah are advocating that a better gauge of bosom size might be weight. They suggest dunking a breast in a bowl full of water - the displaced water can give you an approximation of each breasts weight.
If you want to do this at home - one litre of water weighs one kilogram.
They argue that this could help scientists improve bra designs - something that’s badly needed. This is in light of new research that suggests that 75% of women don’t know their breast size.

I know Summer is over (before it began!) but now is a good time to start thinking about that Christmas list.
What do you buy the lady that has everything? … All ladies want to be stylish and feel confident in what they’re wearing but how can money buy them that ‘feel good’ style and confidence?
Here are just two ideas, both at very different varying price spectrums and of course it depends on how generous you feel this year.
