For a vertically challenged person like me this means properly proportioned jeans and trousers of (nearly!) the appropriate length rather than having to lop off up to 8 inches of twouser length then having the crutch hang too low anyway. Way back when M & S served the nation, they had a great range of kids stuff that fit me very well. That went by the wayside in their slow, painful retreat from having anything useful or of value to buy at all.
In fact, the owner of Top Shop, Mister Philip Bling sorry Green should be put in control of M&S before it is too late. He tried a takeover last year but failed to convince enough shareholders. I’m convinced he will succeed sooner or later in reinstalling the reinvigourating Jewish retail magic to M&S.
This really made me larff:
The show was compelling and the front row was spectacular. Every blonde from Belsize Park to Brighton was there: Donna Air, Sara Cox, Laura Bailey, Davinia Murphy, Jenny Frost and Zoe Ball, taking up so many seats that Peaches and Pixie Geldof were in the second row. The Knightsbridge posse was also represented, though it is questionable whether Jemima Khan or Camilla Fayed have worn Topshop before.
The guests were well and truly outblinged, however, by the daughter of Philip Green. Sporting two necklaces, diamond stud earrings, a charm bracelet and a diamond encrusted watch from Jacob & Co (retail value: between £1,000 and £4,000), Chloe Green is one 13-yearold who is definitely her father's daughter. No wonder he needs to keep raking in the billions.

I would kill to be able to buy petite clothes in Israel! As it is I end of doing all of my clothes shopping when I visit my parents in the US. The clothes manufacturers here mostly seem to cater to the tall, skin and bones 15 year-old girl, and needless to say, I'm none of those.
I always stock up on clothes when I visit my parents in America too -- there are plenty of kids/small/petite ranges around -- anywhere from Target (pronounced Tar-jhey of course) to NM. I remember having a discussion with a fashionista about this issue and she explained that the US is a huge (so so speak) market so it is economically viable to have tall, short, stout etc ranges but in smaller countries it is not viable, even for the likes of global businesses such as Gap, which has nice short/small sizes in the US but not in the UK. Now I thought that is what the EU was supposed to be about...
I found some great deals at "Tar-jhey" during my last trip! :-) Have to say, though. During the past couple of years I lost a fair amount of weight, and it was much easier to find jeans, trousers, etc., when I wore a larger size. Length was hardly ever a problem, but waist was nearly impossible!
