What is your body shape?


Shopping can be very stressful when you are not familiar with your body shape.  Buying the right clothes makes you feel comfortable and feel good about yourself.  I have found a brilliant website where you can work out what you body shape is and it gives you tips on what clothes suit your particular shape.  For example if you are skinny you are likely to want to create more curves and if you are more top heavy you might want to draw attention to another part of the body. Its all about balance and finding the right clothes helps you to achieve just this and make you feel a million dollars!  Colours also help with this i.e.. one tone makes you appear taller and colours that are broken up help to give you more of a curvy appearance breaking up the body parts.  Also if you do want to draw attention to a particular body part try ruffles or a belt! :)

Have fun with this and forward it to all your friends!!

Bailgate




Hello all from Lincoln!  Moved down here on Thursday so have been sussing out the area (especially the shops!) Its a real market town so its really quaint.  What I particularly like about it is what is called the Bailgate area which is situated at the top of the hill in the cathedral quarter.  It has only recently been restored to its more original state.  The roads and paths have been repaved in high quality York stone to bring back a more historical feel.  Lincoln’s Cathedral Quarter concentrates on its independent specialist retailers in the Midlands with over 150 small shops.  Its really lovely and you get all your more nick nacky shops up there.  In fact I was amazed to find the redfoot shoes (which I have written about in a previous post) in one of these shops!  Its so picturesque and defiantly worth a visit if you are up in this part of the country.


Till next time. xx
