You"ll be glad you were Tempted

Have you ever got an invite for a weekend away and moaned that you"ve nothing to wear and no time to go traipsing into town to get something new and sexy?

I"m sure there are hundreds of women out there who can relate to that sentiment!

The idea of needing an outfit or two for the weekend can be even more daunting if you"re one of the 50% of Irish women who take size 16-30.

Buying online from the comfort of your own home is becoming more and more popular with busy mums who can shop during their lunch break or when the little one is taking a nap. Websites are now very easy to navigate and making your purchase could not be easier.

www.tempted.ie is a brilliant website that caters for women size 16-30 and promises delivery of your order within three working days of receipt. You can go online, pick and choose what you"d like and have it delivered to your door (home or work), try it on in the privacy of your own home et voila, you"re sorted for the weekend!

Tempted"s clothes are not the usual associated with plus sizes - they"re sexy, fashionable and downright gorgeous. Most basic items such as tops and tunics are available in various design, prints and in-season colours. Trousers come in different leg widths and can be full length or cropped and several come with matching gilets. Dresses come in a variety of shapes and can be layered over tops and trousers and the collection has some very smart coats that will protect you very well from summer chills and are essential in our unpredictable climate.

Tempted also stocks the splendid Spanx shapewear in sizes 16 to 30 - the only shop in Ireland to stock the bigger sizes. It"s long been the under garment of choice with celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey and Gwyneth Paltrow, who must always look red carpet ready. Spanx shapewear slims and smoothes from the lower thighs up through the tummy to just under the bust, smoothing away all the lumps and bumps and giving you a great silhouette with no more vpl, or muffin top! A perfect base for all those body con outfits.
