Saint Bustier - Designer Busty Girl Fashion Site - Launches

I'M SORRY. I know I've been gone a long time so I figured I owed you an explanation, and here it is: Saint Bustier. 

For the past few months I've been part of the Saint Bustier team, working on bringing you the first ever designer fashion boutique to cater for women who wear regular clothes sizes (UK 8-18) but have large cup sizes (D-H). As the fantastique Mademoiselle Robot described it, Saint Bustier is "a real game changer... the Net A Porter of boobies".

SaintBustier.com has just launched and is proving hugely popular already - it seems there are a lot of us out there who find it hard to buy clothes that don't gape, strain or cause wholly indecent wardrobe malfunctions without having to go up a size or two to accommodate our ample chests. 

I'm a firm believer that fashion is for everyone and should be accessible so - given the majority of fashion is cut to a B cup regardless of clothing size - I'm delighted to be involved with Saint Bustier. We're bringing gorgeous, well fitting, D-H cup fashion and awesome outfits, other than your bog standard wrap dresses and v-neck t-shirts, from great brands (scandi-cool to American starlet and Brit chic) to the booby masses. 

Everything's pictured on 30E-32GG models too, along with detailed Fit Notes, so you can get a better idea of what to expect depending on your particular shape.

As most of you know, I'm a sucker for a sequin so here's a couple of my fav picks from the site, above is the Emma dress with embellished shoulders in Cream, £350, by Bastyan from Saint Bustier, worn with some exquisite Jasmine Citrine Smokey chandelier earrings, £120, from Sushilla.co.uk, by our fabulous 32GG model. 

Below, Deluxe Sequinned Blazer, £110 (which is pictured here on a 30FF model but fits to an H cup), and matching Deluxe Sequinned Pant, £89, both by Second Female from Saint Bustier.

PUT A KEYRING ON IT: PRETTY INITIAL FOBS FROM ACCESSORIZE

After my much loved, irreplaceable Marc by Marc Jacobs mini leather photo album key fob got lost (*SOB*) I decided cheapo keyrings are the way to go and am well chuffed with these initial charms just in at Accessorize. Super pretty, lightweight but sturdy plastic, available in neon or vintage style floral and only £4 each, they're available in stores now.

NEW APC WINTER 2011/12 WOMENSWEAR RANGE - I'LL TAKE ONE OF EVERYTHING

APC has done it again.  The new Autumn/Winter 2011/12 collection has just dropped and MY it's a wonder. 

The French label specialises in relaxed Left Bank-style Parisian chic that Brits can not only fit into but feel great in too. 

The mainly muted, supremely sophisticated colour palette combines with simple detailing and quality fabrics to produce yet another highly wearable collection. This collection maintains the brand's minimalist aesthetic but incorporates a nod to current fashion trends, particularly in its ladylike knitwear and 70's jackets.

Equally perfect for work and play, APC is a go-to wardrobe staple label for many working women as their clothes transition so well from day to night.  The subtly flared Charlotte's duffle coat with its perfect collar is my most hotly desired piece but honestly, there's nothing I'd turn my nose up at - particularly the accessories.

Check out APC's site for the full collection, stockists and to get your hands on these awesome APC x Incase Macbook and iPad covers in their beautiful signature Japanese selvedge dark denim.

MOLESKINE X THE LITTLE PRINCE NOTEBOOK COLLECTION

Moleskine Art have produced a wonderful new limited edition collection of their famous notebooks celebrating Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's magical novel, The Little Prince.

Each debossed notebook comes with an exclusive put-together insert featuring the books' charming illustrations.

As a full on stationery fan, this latest release is a welcome addition to the Moleskine range although not quite as cool as the Peanuts ones they produced recently for the cartoon's 60th anniversary.

Moleskine's Little Prince notebooks are £11.99 and available now online or from various Moleskine stockists.

HUF - STORES CLOSE BUT THE BRAND GOES ON

Sad news about the US store closures of pro-skateboarder Keith Hufnagel's San Francisco-based HUF label. However, the laid back, urban brand lives on to celebrate it's 10th anniversary just through clicks, not bricks, as collections remain available online and through HUF stockists, including Size? in the UK. 

Check out this great cotton parka (above) - it may be menswear but with the weather the way it is, I think this is a great casual girlie option for the festival season too. £179.99 exclusively online from Size?

VERSACE X H&M

The rumours were true!  Versace - Lady Gaga's label obsession du jour - will be the next big name to collaborate with H&M on a range of clothing and also homewares to be released this autumn.  

Donatella has put together a colourful, print-heavy collection inspired by the Versace archives, bringing the the house's signature motifs to the High Street.

The Autumn 2011 collection for men, women and home will be available worldwide from 17th November with a pre-Spring 2012 collection to follow online from 19th January but I'd start queueing now if the last Lanvin collab is anything to go by...

AMERICAN EAGLE COMES TO LONDON

I was overjoyed when I heard the US chain American Eagle Outfitters had employed a UK agent to look for central London sites for its first ever British store with plans for UK-wide expansion to follow.

My excitement wasn't caused by their casual clothing ranges which are much in the mould of Gap with a touch of the better end of Abercrombie and Hollister about them (great hoodies, cute summer dresses, classic T's, well cut mid-priced jeans etc).  It was because of their Aerie range's underwear.  Yes, that's right, pants.

Aerie makes literally the best pants on the planet. They're along the lines of the Australian brand Bonds which was all over London a few years back then sadly disappeared. Aerie's boybriefs (a selection of which are pictured below) - not to be confused with the slightly longer legged boyshorts - are my top everyday knicker pick for hip hugging, sporty style with substantial 100% cotton comfort.

The first store is said to be opening in Covent Garden but no word on exactly when so, for now, you can order from their website which does ship to the UK but beware being hit by the taxman on or after delivery.  They do have a sale on at the mo though so worth a little look...
