eye body way
Belts distract the eye from a bloated tummy, a heavy-set upper body and all manner of sins. They can be a superb way to update your wardrobe without breaking the bank, and there's no reason to stop wearing them, ever!
wings bingo way
Fluted sleeves or any sleeve that flares out before coming in again at the wrist are very feminine and a great way to distract from the dreaded 'bingo wings.'
girl fun pancakes
Can you imagine wot it was like. All the girls gettin' luvly figgers and me stayin' flat as a pancake? It was no fun, I tell you.
horse car oxfam
Back in the '60s, there was a car sticker that read, 'Forget Oxfam, Feed Twiggy,' but I ate like a horse.
smart jeans age
Tailored jackets with jeans is a great look for all ages. Dress up with a heel and pretty shirt, or just wear a smart T-shirt under the jacket.
way weight helping
I eat healthily because that's the way I prefer to eat, and I'm sure it helps keep the weight off.
elbows arms littles
Even if your bosoms are your best asset, deep round-neck or scoop-neck Ts can be too revealing. Offset this flash of gorgeousness by covering up your arms with a little cardi that has sleeves to the elbow.
winter vintage play
Knitwear can play a vital part in layering. The simplicity of a lightweight cardigan makes it one of the best ways to layer outfits. I love granddad cardis for winter, worn over a vintage lace shirt, waistcoat and full skirt with slouchy boots.
children animal care
It's hard to see how anyone can fail to care about innocent children and animals being blown up by landmines.
nuts chocolate weakness
My weakness is chocolate - especially butterscotch and nut varieties.
special dresses special-occasion
For special occasions, I love pretty dresses - but nothing too frou-frou!
giving optical-illusions silhouettes
I've never really had a waist. Even when I was at my slimmest, my silhouette was very straight up, straight down. But I have learnt how to give myself a bit of waist by optical illusion. For this, bring on the belts.
ate natural sensibly thin
I was very skinny, but that was just my natural build. I always ate sensibly - being thin was in my genes.
anybody girls great individual kate moss somebody telling
I was always telling girls who said that they wanted to be the 'next' Kate Moss or the 'next' Gisele that it wasn't possible, because the 'next' girl wasn't going to look like anybody else; she would be somebody unique. If you look at all the great models... they all have an individual look.
