It’s one of the biggest days of your life and finding the right dress for the occasion is almost certainly right up there at the top of your to-do list…

So how do you find one that’s a perfect fit, not just for your body shape but for your own style and personality?

Someone who has the answer is Anne Bird of Daisy Dresses, who joins the Girls Around Town as their latest Fabulous After 40 guest.

Following a long career in the public sector, Anne found her fabulous when she opened the Daisy Dresses studio and workshop in Winkburn last month. Specialising in designing and making bespoke wedding gowns, she works closely with each bride at every stage of the process, to create unique dresses designed to fit, flatter and help promote body confidence on the big day.

Tune in or listen online between 10am and 12 noon next Sunday, when June and Tina find out more about what inspired Anne to take her life in a totally new direction.

And how, in a world where frou frou often reigns supreme, she’s on a mission to offer brides something a little different and help them find their own fabulous!

How simple is this?!

On the basis that prevention is always better than cure, here’s a follow-up to last Monday’s tip for getting rid of deodorant marks on dark clothes, especially clingy tops or dresses.

Check out the latest video on Alicia Kay Style’s YouTube channel to find out how to avoid them in the first place!

Simple but somehow so obvious when you think about it…

Time to smell the roses

It’s Fiona’s turn to take the chair again this Sunday, when she joins June and Tina to talk about all things aromatic with guest Julie Payne of Naturally Tip to Toe…

A complementary therapist who specialises in stress reduction and bringing balance back into the lives of her clients, Julie will be explaining how aromatherapy uses the unique qualities of our sense of smell – which, amazingly, is 20,000 times more acute than our sense of taste – to create a powerful healing experience.

Tune in or listen online between 10am and 12 noon to find out just what aromatherapy is, where it comes from, how the oils are produced and how Julie uses them in the other treatments she offers too.

She’ll also be passing on some helpful hints and tips on the use of essential oils such as lavender and tea tree for health and around the home.

With Fiona sharing some of her own advice on how to stay happy and healthy this summer as well, there’ll be a definite feel-good factor on this week’s Girls Around Town!
