Great Tits......

Whatever you call them you either love yours or hate them! Too big, too small, droopy, all flat at the top, squidge out to the side, lopsided. You name it we've all said it! The list is endless. Also how many people have been scarred by a comment passed years ago during your adolescence when your body hadn't settled down? Far too many I expect going from comments we hear when you lovely ladies come to see us!

So let's talk BOOBS........

Big Boobs..so people may look at you and think you have an amazing pair of boobs!!! You think otherwise! They make you look matronly, bigger than you actually are, not the most comfortable of things, men talk to your boobs and not to you!! The main tool, and one that will become indispensable, is a well fitting bra. Invest whatever it takes to find the best one for you. Hoick them up high and push them forward with underwires and strong straps. Armed with the right bra you are in control of your boobs rather than the other way around!!

There are also ways to disguise big boobs with the clothing you wear.....

No high necklines....... They make your boobs look like they are an extension of your chin and mould them into one big lump. Go for a wide open neckline or a v-neck. Both of these break up the expanse of your chest.

No halter neck or spaghetti-strap dresses........ Hard to wear a bra with these and that's not a good idea, your boobs can creep out the side! Go for a wrap dress which pulls in the waist
and divides and separates your boobs. Or go for a sweetheart neckline as this elongates the neck.

No chunky knits or polo necks......Again the high neck makes your boobs look like a third chin and the chunky wool just makes everything look bigger! Go for a deep v-neck in a fine knit, like cashmere, which will keep you warm whilst the v will divide your boobs. A round neck cardigan with the buttons undone to the top of your bra will show off your stunning cleavage. And last but not least a wrap cardigan which you can tie as tight as you wish with your boobs always being kept apart.

Hopefully this has been of some help with your big boobs and you grow to love them!

Remember.... Looking stylish is not about following fashion, losing weight, being rich or succumbing to the knife. It's about dressing to show off what you love about yourself and hiding what you loathe about your body.

Red, White and Blue........

So here we are at the beginning of another week, and it looks like we're in for another week of Spring. Hooray......!!!
With that in mind I decided to put a nautical theme in the window this week of Red, White and Blue, a bit too early for a patriotic theme! Just gets me thinking of lazy days on the river or a day at the seaside.

Red, white and blue always look good together. Can be fun, fresh and make you feel good. So what's gone in the window this week????

Left- Oui Star and Stripe Top in Navy/White
          Oui Chino Trousers in Red
          Quintissential Spot Scarf in Red

Middle- Avoca Treviso Dress in Red
               Jackpot Zalvie Cardigan in Navy

Right- Oui Print Mesh Top in Navy/White

So if you're in Petworth this week why not pop along to the shop, come and have a chat and a look at all the fab new clothes that have been delivered in the past week.

Next blog will be all about boobs..............!

What's In The Window This Week

So a new week and a new set  of clothes in the window. So what are the models wearing?

NYDJ Twiggy Straight Leg Jeans in White, Jackpot Maryna Floral Top in Blue, Part Two L/S Tshirt in White and Stephen Collins Belt in Pistachio.

Jackpot Wern Tape Knit Jumper in White, Jackpot L/S Tshirt in Green, Oui Classic Trousers in Navy and Echo Scarf in Lime/Blue.

Jackpot Harmione Dress in Blue, Part Two S/S Tshirt in White and Jackpot Zalvie Cardigan in Cornflower..

Busy busy busy .......

Well what a busy week we had. The fine spring weather at the end of the week really made everyone feel very springlike! Petworth was really buzzing, and everyone seemed to have a smile on their face. The joys of things to come.
The shop was a hive of activity. We saw so many of our lovely regular customers and met lots of lovely people visiting Petworth for the first time. The new La Badia pumps that arrived at the beginning of the week were one of the most popular items. We get them from a small family firm in Florence Italy and they are gorgeous,fabulous colours and so soft and comfortable. We only have a small quantity of each colour, so I think they are going to sell out quickly. The colours for this spring/summer are Green, Pale Pink, Denim Blue, Pink, Taupe and a 3 colour one of Red, White and Blue.
Hope to see you all next week.
Take care.

Spring Is Here

Well I must start with an apology for not having spoken to you all during the winter! I think I must have been hibernating! I was very busy during the winter so I'm sure loads of you came to visit me.
Today the 1st March was beautiful! The sun shone, the birds sang and the sky was a wonderful blue.
All my new spring stock was flying out the door. La Badia pumps in some gorgeous colours were delivered at the beginning of the week and I don't think they will be around for long, so get your skates on if you want a pair!
The rails are full of fantastic clothes in heavenly colours! Greens, Blues, Pinks, White and so many more.
We had the wonderful June Whitfield pop in to see us today,such a lovely lady.
Talk to you all soon.

An Early Christmas Present from Us to You!

Hello Ladies,
I nearly forgot to let you know in all the excitement! On Saturday 12th November we started a week long promotion. Wait until you hear this:

25% off everything!!

It's our early Christmas present to you. And a thank you to you all for your patience while we were toying with the idea of leaving Therapy & this beautiful town of Petworth behind.

From Saturday 12th November

to

Saturday 19th November

We thought it would be nice for you all to be able to treat yourselves before December comes and you have to focus on everyone else!

The promotion got off to a great start on Saturday, with our customers buying lots of the yummy things they've been coveting all season (and a bit of Christmas shopping too.)

Sorry for the delay in posting this bit of important news. But there's still another 5 days left for you to come in and treat yourselves!

Think about it: Your chance to buy that beautiful Avoca coat, or a fresh pair of La Badia pumps, or a sparkly frock for Christmas!

Therapy was buzzing on Saturday and it was a real treat for me to see so many of our lovely customers. So why don't you come along and say hello and join in the fun?!

Chris & I are delighted to be staying in beautiful Sussex and are looking forward to a fun Festive Season. This is our thank you to you.

See you all soon & much love,

Laura x

Brrrr! Autumn is here!

Brrrr!
Having just recently returned from sunny Australia, I think I'm in shock! Now, I hear that the sun shone while we were away - so you must all be equally unsettled by the onset of winter.

But have no fear! Even though it's nasty outside, we at Therapy are always ready with a warm shop and a warm welcome.

Have you unpacked your winter clothes? I was looking at the longterm weather forecast, and it seems we're in for another chilly one.

Well if you're in need of some winter woolies, do come and see us. We're about to start another Pashmina & Knitwear promotion. Spend over £100 on one of our lovely, cosy knits and we'll give you a beautiful pashmina worth £39 for free! Can't say fairer than that. Keep it for yourself if you're feeling the chill - or save it for a loved one for Christmas.

Here are some of my favourites. This beautiful blue knitted coat is dreamy - soft and light and so warm. I was very tempted to have one for myself - but I've decided that you deserve it more! And if you fancy something a bit sparkly to see you through the coming celebrations, then how about one of these cute cardigans?

You know how we love knitwear at Therapy - easy to wear and easycare - perfect for us busy women. The examples here are only a tiny percentage of our selection so please pay us a visit and see & feel for yourselves all the yummy knits on offer.

I do however owe our cashmere customers an apology. I was badly let down by a new supplier this winter - and so have let you down also. I know many of you have been asking for the lovely Repeat cashmere from Switzerland. I confess I decided to try an alternative when the price of their cashmere rocketed. That'll teach me!! I promise to sort it out for next year and hope that you will all forgive me.

While I'm in apologetic mood:

I am sorry that we ever considered abandoning beautiful Petworth and our loyal customers for a life of cowboys and horses in Montana. I am claiming temporary insanity and promise faithfully that we are now happily staying put!

I've thought of lots of lovely ways to say thank you to you all - so keep an eye on this Blog and your emails for some great events in the run up to Christmas.

Thank you & lots of love,
Laura x
