Ann Snapes has been an avid follower of fashion for a number of years, and has an extremely stylish wardrobe of stunning designer clothes, shoes and handbags. Ann is now bringing her passion centre stage, and has set up a unique designer outlet DressXchange, to lend her experience to all women who are in need of a fashion ‘makeover’ or looking to buy and sell their clothes on a regular basis.
DressXchange is an excellent concept where women can experiment in the art of ‘dressing up’ with Ann’s diverse collection of ‘preloved’ fashion items, sourced from women, who similar to Ann, like to update and recycle their designer wardrobe regularly, and share Ann’s passion for fashion. You can also sell your clothes through Ann’s company, which facilitates an online ‘shop window’ to buy and sell fashion items at the press of a button.
I visited Ann at one of her pop-ups in Beaconsfield and browsed the vast variety of designer labels and items from ball gowns to handbags and jewellery, and she then visited me in my office at Pinewood Studios.
Ann has created a service where you can send her your products to sell and then she will evaluate them and give you an idea of what cost she believes they should be marketed at. The concierge service is that she will have your items professionally photographed and then put onto her website this is all free of charge. When your items sell she will then give you a percentage of the sale.
Ann can be reached at www.dressxchange.co.uk and you can also browse her website as it is being constantly updated.

Wallis Simpson famously said, ‘a girl can never be too rich or too thin’ – well I don’t agree with that, but my motto is ‘A Girl Can’t have too many shoes’!!
Imelda Marcos allegedly had 3000 pairs of shoes in her ever expanding wardrobe. Can you really blame her, as she had so many functions to go to and certainly had to match the different outfits, besides which it was a bit of a passion for her too.
We have learned in recent years with reflexology that our feet represent different areas of our entire body, so why not nurture them. Shoes should be added to our list of psychological wellbeing ‘must haves’ for the sheer bliss of wearing comfortable but beautiful adornments on our feet.
I have found as I get older, I am struggling to wear the shoes I proudly donned in my teens and early twenties, and would never be seen dead in a pair of Clarks or wider fit shoes. But then to be fair, these brands have upped their game and made their designs far more elegant and catwalk friendly.
If you are struggling with wearing heels, invest in a pair of Dr Scholls party heels at only £4.49, and wear shoes around the house days before the party to break them in and get used to the height and balance, you so that you can enjoy them to the full. I recently spotted a gorgeous pair of stilettos and wanted to buy them anyway, in spite of the fact I knew they would probably kill me. The shop assistant just flung me a throwaway line as I walked out the door – ‘don’t forget to practise’. It made a big difference.
Here are some party ‘must haves’ for you in the shoe department:
Clarks – Ellis Ruby – Rose Gold Leather party shoe, lovely to look at and easy to wear. £69.
https://www.clarks.co.uk/c/Ellis-Ruby/p/26135282
Shoe Embassy – hand crafted shoes are an investment – blissfully comfortable and made from comfy leather, one review said ‘I’m having an affair – this is my second pair’ I spotted this gorgeous shoe aptly entitled ‘Exotic’ now only £47.50.

New Look have some amazing bargains as always, and one I thought you would like is this sexy black faux snake pointed court for only £19.99.

Very.co.uk have a multitude of wonderful choices, and I just fell in love with this unique pair of ‘Irregular choice Nick of Time party heel shoe’. Yes, that is its name and well worth considering for its sheer style and comfort at £82.

So get in there girls, and start practising!

Thought I would be ahead of the game this year, and recommend some stunning party outfits if you are looking to celebrate over the festive season. We are all at various stages of our lives, and may decide stay at home and celebrate with our children or grandkids, or have invitations from friends or colleagues. Hopefully you will find ideas for most occasions.
Quiz has a delightful Berry velvet bardot knot front fishtail maxi dress at only £39.99 – see on our front page. This is very flattering for us curvy types, and easy to wear as well as being utterly glamorous.
Coast has produced a forest green ‘monroe’ lurex maxi dress which is well worth the £179.00 because this style and colour never dates. In fact I remember window shopping as a kid, and dreaming about a green evening dress I had spotted in the window of Debenhams whilst shopping with my Mum. I was far too young to wear it, but I am tempted to do so now as it is rather special and will suit a number of events I have coming up.
Girls on Film have produced a sassy red bibi tiered shift dress for only £42. If you want to go shorter this season, this could be the one for you, especially if you are hoping to make an impact, and are thinking ‘outside the box’.
Reiss Sandie Long Sleeve Drop Waist Dress in black, is a smart but comfortable dress, immensely flattering and covers up the arms if you are like me and prefer to do so. This is definitely one that will come out season after season so well worth the investment at £195.
Hush Glitter Easy Dress in Metallic gold which is exclusive to John Lewis and Hush, is really as it says on the tin, an easy dress and very stylish and flattering. Especially if you are entertaining at home and don’t want any restrictions in the kitchen. Only £59.
