Faux-leather is this month's theme with my 'Style Not Age' friends. I shopped my wardrobe with a biker‐style jacket @carraig_donn and 17 year old @diesel denims.

I know that the current fashion is to wear these shorter than I have. But I prefer wearing them with heeled boots @carl_scarpa, just skimming the ground.

Pop over to the blog to see what @mummabstylish @annasislandstyle @is_this_mutton_ and @thestylesplash are wearing.

It is #FashionablyFriday @courtneysmithstyle and I am keeping cosy in my @zara faux fur and @mango hat. Boots are @vandalshoes and I am ready to take on the baltic weather and head to the butcher.
Hope your Friday is going well. Enjoy your Valentine weekend!

''It started with a kiss''

Writing on the blog about our love story which began 40 years ago on Valentine's Day.

The virus and various lockdowns in the past year has meant we spend nearly every moment together. No golf or tennis or coffee with friends or nights out to break the monotony.

And while I am fed up to the teeth of Lockdown and the virus, I am not fed of Graham.

He is still my Valentine😍

Inspired by my daughter's @courtneysmithstyle and her #FashionablyFriday challenge. I ditched the leggings, runners and puffer jacket and put on a cosy dress @selectedireland, coat @kildarevillage (Gerard Darel) and boots @marksandspencerireland. Grey roots hidden by @wallaroohatsuk
And the lovely bag (gifted) @iampeelo

You know what it felt so good! I have not worn heels for months! But I managed to walk around Malahide without falling over!

Lockdown is tough enough so I indulge most evenings in a G&T. And why not?

'Style Not Age' showcases loungewear. My friends have some luxurious outfits for staying at home. And I am lounging around in a hoodie @primark and @carraig_donn comfy trousers. Psst! They have a slightly elasticated waist. I always swore I would never wear trousers without a structured waistband!
And yet here I am. But they are comfy and stylish and I love the stripes down the sides. Check out my blog and my friends @is_this_mutton_ @annasislandstyle @mummabstylish and @thestylesplash.
And recommend some nice loungewear sets please. I need to up my game!

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.'

Maya Angelou.

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.

Back view yesterday. Front view today on a sunny day. What I did not tell you is that the coat is reversible but I pefer the faux fur in the inside. All deets on previous post. You can see the rest of the 'Style Not Age' gang on stories or on the blog. And @mummabstylish @annasislandstyle @thestylesplash and @is_this_mutton_ look fabulous when they are out and about. Hop over to stories.

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.
