Shopping in Malahide

Shopping in Malahide

Many people are returning to boutique shopping for a variety of reasons, not least the personal service, and Malahide, my home town north of Dublin (Ireland), has a plethora of wonderful boutiques! Catering for diversity of tastes and different pockets, the discerning woman will not be disappointed.

My “Shopping in Malahide” series begins with the luxury German brand Marc Cain. Situated on Strand Street, the elegant window display will draw you inside. The clothes are beautifully displayed and the shop is well-lit and airy.

Don’t expect high-street prices here. We are talking Mercedes as opposed to Daihatsu. No offence to Daihatsu. But the older I get, the more I like a little bit of luxury, a touch of opulence and effortless chic and that’s what I found with Marc Cain. The cut is perfect and the fabric is exactly what you expect from a high quality label – German engineering, I suppose!

An added bonus with boutique shopping is the standard of personal service and here, it was as you would expect, attentive and helpful but not pushy. There is nothing worse than being told that an outfit looks wonderful on you when you know that it couldn’t be further from the truth.

With the help of the manager Louise, these are the three occasion wear looks I have chosen to feature:

Boobydressjacketinside3

This Missoni-style textured-knit dress (€349) took me outside my comfort zone and despite the stripes was actually flattering to wear. I really liked the metallic, copper-coloured leather jacket and it would look sensational paired with jeans also.

BlackDressOutside1

I preferred this navy dress with its lace detail. (€349). It is flirty and yet sophisticated at the same time and the waffle-type fabric skims over the body without clinging and kicks out playfully at the bottom.

Suitjustnoticedawilly

This three-piece exudes elegance; the fabric has a satiny sheen and again the fit is perfect and the trousers are extremely comfortable. Of course, you can mix and match with a different coat or jacket, but I thought I would give you the full-on, tone-on-tone look. The trousers and top are each priced at €199 and the coat is €349.

I know they are a little pricey, but you are paying for the cut and fabric.  You can check out the label online or phone 00353-1-845 6989. Thanks to Mairead Daly for taking the photos.

    2-liter (available only on SLT and Denali trims) delivers 420 hp and 460 lb.
    The rear seat was a bench seat and did not split 60-40 as is more common in vehicles today.
    Trim levels are base, SLE, SLT, and Z71, each
    adding more standard features and refinement as you go up the line.

Forgot to post this pic from a few months ago, tak Forgot to post this pic from a few months ago, taken when we could go further than 5k. Wearing all Zara except for old @carl_scarpa boots. How are you coping with the present lockdown? I am reading lots and watching telly and walking. I sympathise with those of you who are homeschooling and trying to work. Not easy. But we are nearly there. Stay strong.

New Year Resolutions are not for me. I just love New Year Resolutions are not for me.
 I just love the life I live. Of course I am worried about the Pandemic. Who isn't? 
But even though I cannot meet friends, eat out or do many of the 'normal' activities I used to do, I can still walk and enjoy the lovely place I live. Pop over to the blog to see my farewell to 2020.

 'Life is not measured by 
the number of breaths we take, but
the moments that take our breaths away.'

Happy New Year from Graham and me. A different New Happy New Year from Graham and me. A different New Year's Eve for certain. We are sitting at home watching the telly. But welcoming in 2021 with open arms and hoping that in a few months we can return to a more normal life. 

While 2020 was tough, it also made me appreciate (even more) the beautiful place where I live. 

2020 also had its highlights: our third grandson arrived a few weeks ago!

Stay positive my friends. Stay safe and
 thank you for your support.

It is the last 'Style Not Age' of the year and we It is the last 'Style Not Age' of the year and we are out and about. Warm outerwear has never been more important, as we meet up with friends for socially distanced coffee outdoors.

 The coat from @primark has kept me cosy during these difficult Covid times.  This pic was taken down a country lane a few weeks ago when I was visiting my parents.

And I have lived in these camo leggings from @fandfclothing for the past few months.  Walking boots and hat are old. Pop over to stories for more pics.

Writing about the importance of supplementing with Writing about the importance of supplementing with Vitamin C (particularly at the moment) on the blog. Liposomal Vitamin C is all the rage becuse it promises optimal absorption. It is all quite scientific. But what you need to know is that taking it will benefit your immune system, your energy and your skin. Did I mention this Somega is delicious? More on the blog.

From the archives. Remember when we tried on dress From the archives. Remember when we tried on dresses etc in changing rooms? And browsed in shops?
This is one that got away. Kind of wish I had bought it now @lkbennettlondon 
I am not so good at online shopping. Bought runners online in the size I normally get in that brand and they had to go back. Anyone else with the same problem?

🪥 My new stylish electric toothbrush (gifted) h 🪥 My new stylish electric toothbrush (gifted) has Ionic Brushing Superpowers! 

🪥Sounds impressive? It is!

🪥But do not ask me to explain it.Check out @ion.sei for all the science stuff. And learn about the innovative technology used in this German manufactured and Japanese inspired toothbrush. 

🪥It has to do with a UV LED light, a titanium bar and negative ions. But it is rather complicated and I am not a science geek.

🪥What I know is that my teeth  and gums feel cleaner and are cleaner. Because it actually prevents plaque from forming.

🪥Easy to use (there are 3 brushing modes) and gentle on gums, it turns off after 2 minutes. And delivers minimum 36,000 strokes in that time!!
