Glamour Icons special news!

Today Kim Baldry and Bridget Prideaux from Bosom Pals visited our studio to pick up the first 40 bags we have been working on for a month now! They were amazed by the design, variety and fabrics and so happily looking forward to handing the...m on to the nurses at Derriford Hospital. The bags are produced for women having a breast surgery to carry their post surgery drain bags in some more fashionable and stylish item rather than something like a Tesco bag. "It brings a smile to their face and helps them feel more comfortable and better during their stay in hospital. We fill them with little things we think they might be helpful such as lip balm or hand cream donated from companies," Bridget explains. Bosom Pals, supporting ladies who have experienced breast cancer, started the project in March 2013 and soon more and more groups or individuals took in, just like Trishia from Glamour Icons, a bespoke design and make service, heading for at least 100 bags. "We use it for practising at Glamour Icons and it's , always fun for the learners being creative and doing something useful at the same time!," she says. It's a pleasure for Glamour Icons to be part of the project and to make life for those women experiencing such a hard time a little bit better!

Glamour Icons Tips:
- Instead of using a drill you can use a nail or screw and a hammer as well. But be careful your shell doesn't break!
- You can use as many shells and shapes for your necklace as you like to! It's your style!
- You don't need to colour them if you don't want to. Go for "natural" if you prefer!

Rectangle body shape accessories
Bring out your best:
Try to create the illusion of a waist. Hip and bottom details work very well and do prefer round toe shoes. Jewels and embellishments make low, wide necklines look even better!
Avoid:
Rectangle shaped bags or clutch bags, square toe shoes or any fussy, busy or droopy in your style! Go for a straight style. Yet don't wear straight lines from top to toe!

Accessorise your body shape!
 |
| Jessica Alba shows the perfect look for hourglass body shape! And have a go for Rachel McAdam's peep toe shoes! |
Hourglass! Accessorise your body shape!
You're lucky – most accessories will look great on hourglass curves! Go for accessories that define your waist and highlight your hips and bottom.
Bring out your best:
Make best friends with waist belts! Rounded toe shoes will suit your shape or just try peep toe high heels to add a touch of glamour.
Better avoid:
Any styles that hide your waist! Try to avoid any details creating extra weight around your bust, hips and tummy. Don't go for bags that sit near your waist.
Celebrities: Jessica Alba, Rachel McAdams, Olivia Wilde
