A few things that have caught my eye in the last few days.

This very cute spring dress from TopShop now only £78, very much reduced, on Net a Porter, with lots of sizes still available.

This “Pheobe” top from Boden kids’ section – I think this looks like something very chic that my friend Anna might wear (only hers would be from Chloe). I cannot attest to the fit of a size 15-16yo because I am waiting to get my newest Boden catalogue with discount code before I buy anything.

Prices vary – about £22

I cannot justify this Dandelion dress as I have enough winter florals – but I do love it and adheres to my current Divorce wardrobe fetish. Anyway someone’s got to wear it and it might as well be you.

    In the last few months my boobs have inflated madly, and am no longer sure can get away with dresses such as the Toyshop one above. What do you think in terms of flattering or not to the larger bosom?

      Kate I have the same problem – massive tits. Personally, I think that sleeveless and a high neck – plus the forgiving slightly empire-line waist can really work for the big-busted. BUT… in reality who knows, you’ll have to try it on and let us know and send it the hell back if it doesn’t work

    I always have that to consider with dresses too, elfinkate, and actually I was thinking it looked a promising shape. Was always told to avoid high necks if big busted but actually I agree with Esther that it can be really flattering. I love that dandelion dress.

    Badly needing a winter coat – any suggestions that aren’t Canada Goose (too £££)? Something that will keep me warm in the playground without looking like I’ve given upon life (as my hair will be doing that already)?

      I am about to post about an eco parka called Ecoalf – haven’t totally looked into it but my friend has one and loves it. Around £200…
