Gorgeous Tall Linen Tunic – Holiday Wardrobe Essentials for Tall Girls

I’ve already written about the fabulous swimsuit that I found over on Long Tall Sally for this summer (which is now sold out… you snooze, you lose ladies…). But they’ve got two other items which are absolutely, completely, totally, essential for your holiday packing. First up is The Tall Linen Tunic. Absolute timeless classic, this tunic became an immediate staple in my wardrobe (from about 2 minutes after it...

Clothes With Cats On for the girl. Happy and Bargainous!

It is a never-ending source of sorrow for our 8yr old girl that we do not have a cat. We do have the Most Useless Dog In The World, of course, but she’s always wanted a cat. And ever since she has started reading the Warrior Cats series it has become an all-consuming passion. She’s changed her Minecraft name. She’s even writing Warrior Cats fan-fiction on her blog. We’re not heartless – we also love cats....

My Nan had a huge faux-leather mustard coloured one that was older than I was, ridiculously hot and uncomfortable to legs in shorts or skirts and never seemed to age or sink no matter how many dogs and grandchildren passed through her little house. I...

Fabulous Retro Swimsuit for tall women from LTS

I’m not very demanding where swimsuits are concerned. I have an innate horror of a two-piece (way too many curves to reveal, thank you), but I do need a one-piece that’s long enough for my 6ft frame, that won’t make me look like the back end of a bus (no mean feat). It needs to be secure enough to withstand swimming races and deep-end dives with the competitive teens, but be minimal enough for some sunning beside the...

Crocs. Yes. (even a Prince wears them now…)

We know, we know. Crocs. Rubber shoes. (now just stop recoiling in horror, and read a bit more pleasethankyou) I know. I do. But. I can’t actually think of any item of footwear more suitable for a child than one made of rubber? But you HAVE to get the real deal. Please don’t think it’s okay to opt for the cheap imitation versions out there – there’s a whole world of difference between the two. Real Crocs...
