It was no surprise then when I heard my local department store was staging an Autumn/Winter 2010 Fashion Show. Decked out in our best 'casual attire', myself, my mum and a couple of my fashion savvy friends trooped down, our eyes peeled for an on trend bargain in the event sales.
I have to admit I was slightly disappointed when the models marched out, one after another, to discover their entire bodies probably weighed as much as one of my arms! What happened to the new curve friendly fashion we've been reading about?
Skeletal bodies aside, I found myself growing progressively envious as they strut their way down the makeshift catwalk in beautiful outfit after beautiful outfit. Although most of the pieces wouldn't have suited me ( I have hips and a stomach!) I did spot a few items I would be adding to my mental wish list.
The models, who I have to admit were gorgeous, showcased three looks each: casual, on trend and evening, from brands such as Desigual, Therapy and Ted Baker.
It was, all in all, a great evening and I happily left the store with a smile on my face, laden with free samples.
