Your questions answered:

I don’t know why, but whenever I go on holiday I suffer with terrible bloating and find my usual clothes don’t fit me comfortably. What could be causing this bloating? And what clothes can I pack to look good and feel comfortable if it does strike?

As to the cause of your bloating I think you should contact your health practitioner for his/her advice. This season there are a lot of leggings around which pack so easily and are very comfortable. I'm not sure if you are travelling to somewhere warm or cold but leggings look great with a big long tunic, jumper or t-shirts. Leggings can be dressed up with long boots and a beautiful tunic or worn casually under a loose short dress.

I am going on holiday and can’t afford to pay for excess baggage at the airport, how can I make sure that I don’t go over the baggage allowance?

I recently bought a small digital luggage scale which has proven invaluable as you can be sure of the weight of your case and hand luggage before you leave.

I am going skiing for the first time, in France in February, what clothing should I take to wear in the evening? I want to look fashionable but not sure my heels will work in the snow.

Well I hope you have a great time! I think layering is the key for après ski. You will need a good warm jacket to get you to the venue, along with your après ski boots. Team your skiing jacket with a bold coloured cashmere scarf. A funky pair of this season's short sheepskin boots would look great with leggings or skinny jeans with a cool sweater. Bars and clubs tend to be quite hot so remember to pack your sparkling evening tops. Don't forget your swimsuit for the hot tub too.
