HELLO Summer…

5 Feb

I’m not the biggest fan of Dorothy Perkins since they did away with TALL from the high street, only I still get their fashion emails.  I admit I never read them, just skim then delete…  Only the other week this dress caught my eye in their fashion round up email!

My necklace broke…

6 Oct

A broken necklace

Somehow a gust of wind broke my Dorothy Perkins necklace and all the baubles went spilling into the road!

Luckily no-one was around so I was able to run after them! I was going to leave it but felt I could fix it.  No cars were around either, God must have been looking out for me!

Two baubles did get away though :(

Now I need to get round to finding a new chain for it.   Ho Hum!

I found this piece in the sale and it quickly became my everyday necklace for a long time. I’ve worn it so much the gold has rubbed off and it’s now silver.   I still wear it, but I’m more selective on what I wear it with. (more…)

TALL girls come up short…

22 Jul

Do you come up short?

At just over 5’9 and a half tall (a-hem), clothes shopping has become both a chore and bane of my life.

I have a petite torso (not funny) and 37″ legs (hip hip hooray!). With a modelesque height and legs the length of the Amazonian river why is it so hard to find anything on the high street for TALL girls?

  • It’s never simple.
  • You have to plan.
  • Nothing ever fits.
  • Ankle swingers are a frequent occurrence in the changing room.
