But the concept of vintage fashion is fast gathering momentum and settling nicely into it's guilded place on the high street and internet. So what is it that we love so much about vintage clothes? What are the reasons behind the worldwide vintage epidemic? By Busting Diva, August 23, 2010 http://www.bustingdiva.com/ezine/whattoweartowedding.php Spring is that time of the year which brings a brand new start plus a sense of renewal. It is also often the time brides-to-be plan a spring wedding. Being fashionable for a wedding can prove to be taxing for guests. During this time, a wedding magazine or ideally a bespoke dress designer could provide sensible options. By Busting Diva, April 28, 2010 http://www.bustingdiva.com/ezine/psychologyofcolour.php I find colour and the psychology behind colour absolutely fascinating. Without realising, as a culture we associate certain meanings to colours and as such our favourite colours can say a lot about us as an individual. It can also give us a boost when we need to be more confident or powerful, or help us appear more approachable or friendly.

So boys, here's a helping hand with some tips on how to cover up the fact that your legs are somewhat vertically challenged. By Sarah Gilfillan, Busting Diva, August 20, 2008 http://www.bustingdiva.com/ezine/dressingpearshapes.php I've recently taken a couple of clients shopping that have been rather on the pear shaped side of things. It's tricky to find trousers to fit this shape correctly, especially when there is a big difference between the waist and hip size. I'm always surprised by the fact that a lot of designers don't quite seem to have cottoned on to this yet, as there are many, many women out there with this shape!

It burns calories. Yipee - we can stay stylish and fit with a shopping trip! By Sarah Gilfillan, Busting Diva, 1 April 2008 http://www.bustingdiva.com/ezine/pelvicfloorexercisesbyjimmychoo.php The BBC reported that wearing high heels may boost your sex life by improving your pelvic floor muscles. All of us divas were extremely pleased to hear this fabulous news after all those years of training our feet and legs to wear our darling heels! By Daniele Hromek, Busting Diva, 13 February 2008 http://www.bustingdiva.com/ezine/mensfashiontips.php It is clear that men - as much as women - struggle with their style and fashion. I have noticed that increasingly men are getting jealous of all the Trinny and Susannah type programmes that are mainly concentrated on advising women - they want a piece of the action too! By Sarah Gilfillan, Busting Diva, 30 October 2007 http://www.bustingdiva.com/ezine/theblackmyth.php I felt I needed to comment on 'the black myth' as there seems to be a few common misconceptions around that fabulous colour we call black. So many times clients have (mis)quoted to me that "everyone can wear black" or "black is slimming" and unfortunately neither of these statements are true - if you are trying to make the most of yourself by living within your own style guidelines.

First impressions count and your style is the first thing that people see. It defines your image and when it's right and feels natural it can transform the way you act and the way people respond to you. By Daniele Hromek, Busting Diva, 27 June 2007
