Orange crush

Orange crush

While the colour red is more often associated with emotions of anger and passion, orange has no such negative connotations. Combining the energy of red and the vibrancy of yellow, it is a positive and uplifting colour associated with energy and happiness. When I look in my wardrobe, it pops out at me and I am immediately drawn to it. It is my go-to colour when I need a boost!

This orange top was bought in Neola in Malahide last year. I wear it with my skinny jeans and ankle boots at the moment, but it would look equally good with sandals in summer. As we are seldom blessed with a really hot summer here in Ireland, a long-sleeved top is essential in any Irish woman’s wardrobe. I found a lovely boat-neck blouse in Zara just under €40 which fits the bill perfectly.

I purchased this Hugo Boss dress in their sale after Christmas and even though it was reduced, it was still an expensive buy. However, it is a little different from my usual more fitted style, so I splurged, because I’m worth it! I teamed it here with my super comfy Dune leopard-print shoes bought in Arnotts Dublin.

I foundI_226427492_00_20151027 plenty of orange dresses online at House of Fraser www.houseoffraser.co.uk and love this beautiful Marella shift dress for £185.

 

If you would prefer a more subtle hint of orange, you could try a scarf or shoes. This pair is from Clarke’s, bought in their sale at the end of the summer, and as usual with this label they are extremely comfortable. If you fancy an orange pair, I found some in Debenhams and you can order online or pop into their stores. This pair from Lotus will set you back €65.

Remember, orange is the colour of sunrises and sunsets, marmalade and traffic cones. You can find a shade to suit your colouring from the lighter coral to the darker burnt orange. If you want to exude warmth…wear orange, if you want to get noticed…wear orange, if you want to feel happy….wear orange!

    Well Scott, Gandhi might have geniunely meant well, maybe he conflated Dyer with von Rundstedt, but recall that TOS ;City on the Edge of Forever’ and the character Edith Keeler, the welfare and peace activists who impromtu saving by McCoy, changed the timeline forever, That is the problem, now the example of Maximilian Kolbe and company, might be more whatyou are looking for,

    Amanda I didn’t know you run with IBS, too! I have so many questions I would love to ask. Can I send you an email to pick your brain? Minimum fueling is the route I have taken too but I think it’s causing an early “wall”. Sports drinks are a recipe for disaster, gels too. Which one can you tolerate? I’ve found the Honey Stinger waffles to be the easiest fuel on my stomach. You are due for a marathon with perfect weather!

    Thank you for the sensible critique. Me and my neighbor were just preparing to do some research on this. We got a grab a book from our local library but I think I learned more clear from this post. I’m very glad to see such great info being shared freely out there.

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.'

Maya Angelou.

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.

Go check out my friends @annasislandstyle @mummabstylish @is_this_mutton_ @thestylesplash to see what they wear when they are out and about.

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.

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!!
