Guest writer Geraldine gives food for thought

[fusion_text]

I always feel good when I have been to see Geraldine, for two reasons. First of all, my hair always looks a hundred times better when I am leaving (yes, she is my hairdresser) and secondly, we have a laugh. We share common interests in alternative therapies, health and fitness and writing.

As well as being a wife and mother and working in Peter Mark Hairdressing Salon in Malahide, Ireland, for twenty years (she describes herself as a ‘lifer’), she has written a monthly column for her local paper over the past decade. Geraldine doesn’t take herself too seriously, but loves her work, not least because she enjoys meeting people and hearing their stories.

An avid reader as a child, the urge to write is always there, even if it seldom gets to a page, she claims!  Anyway, I was delighted when she agreed to be my guest blogger. I know you will enjoy her experience of a style evening, her musings on the differences between the youth of today and those of her generation and maybe we should all take her advice on being a little more adventurous!

Geraldine writes…….

A few months ago, I was persuaded to go to a style night in the local school. I went along a bit reluctantly, because I had a pre-conceived notion that it would be a sort of tiring list of rules about what you should wear at any given age. Bracing myself, along I went and I couldn’t have been more wrong.

Funny and quick-witted, the stylist took us through a light-hearted quiz to determine our style type, and a few pointers about what to look for in shoes, boots and scarves. A bit of a relief for me, having hit a style crossroads, to find that as a ‘dramatic’ dresser I could wear more dresses, but by teaming them with a biker jacket, I could retain my own ‘take’ on a look.

 stylish lady

We live in such a visual world that it’s hard not to become even a teeny bit occupied with appearance. A quick scroll though social media and all you can see are perfectly made up, balyage-toting, boho, blow-dried young women, who, annoyingly, seemed to have skipped the character-building ugly teenager phase.

I come from the generation of badly applied pan-stick, Rimmel’s Heather Shimmer lipstick, and either crazy-looking geometric haircuts that totally obscured your vision in one eye, or long-haired perms that looked like they’d been knitted by your granny. But hey, you know what? These stunning young ladies are standing on the shoulders of giants. We suffered the bad hair, dodgy make-up and cheap sticky products so that they could evolve to the selfie-ready beauties they are.

Hairy lady

So why should they have all the fun? I think it’s time we raided their toolbox and see what we can adapt. High-definition eyebrows can look scarily like two massive commas, but tone it down a tad and eyebrows are a great face-framer.

eyebrows

Teeth-brightening has never been cheaper and really lifts your whole face, provided you still have teeth!

Teeth

These are just the conservative changes! There are no limits and no rules. We could tint our hair purple and take up bungee jumping if we liked. We could equally wear stretchy pants, drink Gin for breakfast and eat cake till we burst – after all, at this age, who’s going to stop us?!

    先日の引っ越しで、見積もりを出してもらったとき、引っかかったことがありました。液晶テレビを移動する場合は、保険をかけないと契約できないと言われました。

    一軒家であればともかく、最近のマンションやアパートでは隣や上下に住んでいるのはどんな人か、はっきりしなくても何とかなるというのがおかしいと思わなくなっています。だからといっても、日頃から挨拶する、何かあったときにはお互いに助け合えるという関係は必要だと言えます。

Crochet is the theme for this month's 'Style Not A Crochet is the theme for this month's 'Style Not Age'! I may not have crushed it but I did do some damage to my fingers. Hence splints and red bandages.Yes rushing about and tripped ...luckily only on grass or it could have been worse. It might have been my teeth!

Anyway back to the outfit. I had to borrow a crochet top and bag from my friend @marie.sweeney4. And they look amazing with my suit bought from @studio124dublin and hat @wallaroohatsuk (old)

I love a small bag for walking and shopping and this beauty in top quality leather comes in a variety of colours. 
And yes it came home with me!

Love the colour of this linen shirt and it is always packed for sun holidays, because of its versatility.

 Years old and bought @paulasmalahide.  Here it acts as a cover up over a swimsuit in Dubrovnik. Also love the colour and roominess of the Yoko bag @absolutely_patsy. 
Sunnies  and slides @tkmaxxie.
Let's hope the good weather stays. I might even venture into the Irish sea!😂

That was the year I did my Leaving Cert exams so maybe that is why it passed me by. But I do like kimonos. 
Love the paisley pattern and have no idea where I got it. Check out my friends @is_this_mutton_ @thestylesplash @annasislandstyle @mummabstylish.

Do you have clothes that only see the light of day Do you have clothes that only see the light of day when you are on holidays? I do. Though this jumpsuit from @trafficpeople was worn a few times in Ireland when we had a heatwave! Remember😂
The hat from @h&m was prettied up with a scarf and birkenstock dupes are @tkmaxxie.
Blog post up about our trip to Dubrovnik. We had a blast at Ali and Ian's wedding. Dubrovnik is beautiful.
