both jeans love plain switch
I love corduroy jeans as well as vertical-striped jeans. Both are a fun switch from plain old denim. They can be slimming so long as the stripes aren't too chunky.
design designers larger love slim
I'd love there to be more larger models, but it's just not going to happen. Designers love to design for slim girls.
absolutely below bogart date fall high imagine jackets lauren older pencil skirt wear women
If you've got the body and the chutzpah, a pencil skirt is so sexy on older women. Look for ones that fall just below the knee. Think 1940s, cinched-in jackets - imagine you are Lauren Bacall on a date with Humphrey Bogart and you just absolutely have to wear very high heels.
continues designing exciting modelling online relationship
My relationship with M&S continues to be an exciting journey, from modelling to designing my online range.
boys thinking people
I've had albums out since the 1970s. I was in a musical, 'The Boy Friend,' directed by Ken Russell, and I was on Broadway in 'My One And Only' with Tommy Tune, so I've always been a singer, but I suppose people think of my modelling more.
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.
simple squares people
Life is about making choices: you can either spend three quid on a glossy magazine or you can spend it clearing three square metres of minefield and help give people their lives back. As simple as that.
fall two half
You won't often find me in a pair of killer heels: my heel height doesn't rise above two and a half inches, as I would just fall over!
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.
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!
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.
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.
nuts chocolate weakness
My weakness is chocolate - especially butterscotch and nut varieties.
men shoes lace
I love flat shoes, more so than heels. One of my obsessions is men's co-respondent lace-ups.
