Beat the January blues and invest in your wardrobe with Long Tall Sally’s new spring collection.

There appears to be a lot of colour about in the Spring ranges I have seen so far and it  makes such a refreshing change to the dowdy but often comforting winter colours we wear. I think it is because I have got used to my winter wardrobe so you forget that colour really does exist!

Long Tall Sally have produced some fabulous pieces to get you in the mood for summer, specially tailored to those above 5′8″. Like this floral print Belvoir dress which will take you from winter to spring and onto the summer months, pair it with some cute pumps when the warmer months appear and flip flops with the summer heat or for your holiday. I also adore this beautifully printed shift dress in the same style but it just offers more vibrancy and colour and one which will certainly take you through the  summer months.

The green bangle she wears in this photograph is also available from LTS at only £8.

Would love to know your thoughts on the new collection, comments below, what will you be investing in for your new season wardrobe?

7 foot Ross Sambridge wants to get into animation someday, but in the meantime he entertains tourists at the London Dungeon as a Victorian zombie. When asked by children to prove he’s not walking on stilts, Ross pulls up his trouser leg, though some refuse to believe him even after seeing a genuine knee.

At 7ft, Ross is a member of the Tall Persons Club of London. The median height of the clientele hovers around 5ft 7in, but now the lighting fixtures are obscured by six-plus-footers such as Andy Speller, 6ft 9in, and Rosamund Beattie, 6ft 4in. Rosamund works as a diamond appraiser, hates flat shoes, and likens being tall to being famous – without the money. For Andy, “Clothing is the main problem. When I was younger I had to use a tailor. I had some checked trousers made that were the height of fashion for about six months but I had to wear them for two years, when they were grossly out of fashion, because I couldn’t afford a new pair.”

Hi guys!

I’m desperate to buy a new car this winter but seeing as the old pot of gold seems to empty itself everytime I get close to bugeting for one I came up with a cunning plan! I decided to do some research for all our tall friends on which cars are the most “Tall Person Friendly”- this way although I’m not shopping for myself… I’m still (pretend) shopping!

Okay so the best way I thought of doing this was to create an imaginary boyfriend (easiest piece of market research I’ve ever done!)- He’s tall, dark and handsome. Infact he’s very tall…. he’s 6 foot 6.
