Fabulous Party Dresses For Those Curves!
Party season is almost upon us – and so is the need for something fabulously glamorous to wear. Whether it’s the office Christmas ‘do’, a seasonal night out with the girls, or simply your best mate’s house for a New Year’s Eve top-filled with dancing, you need something that not only looks amazing, but makes you feel fabulous too.

Make collecting group funds pain free with the new Swoosch.it
Have you ever been the collecting point for a group night out? You know, where everyone chips in ahead so that there’s a group fund for transport, first round of drinks, accommodation, that kind of thing? Have you been responsible for organising the family or group holiday? Or for a group gift for the new baby? I know, total nightmare right?

I spend my days online, and with so many genuine friends made through the internet I absolutely encourage my kids to make friends online (they’re very clear on the safety rules, obviously, but I’m not frightened of cyber friendships).

I’ve ambitiously looked at my dresses over the last few weeks, but even if I’ve slipped one on I’ve ended up reverting to rolled-up jeans by lunch time. Just now warm enough. But today – hooray – the sun is out, and set to stay. And of course, as soon as the flappy skirts make an appearance, you start needing new pretty...
