The Perfect LBD for NYE with ‘Style Not Age’

What will you be wearing on New Year’s Eve? Well my ‘Style Not Age’ friends are here to help. The theme set by Jacqui this month is the perfect LBD.  Will you be partying the night away or having a quiet dinner with friends? In the current climate, it is more likely that you will be spending it with family or a few friends. But we can still make an effort. Right?

We will be minding two of our grandchildren, so there will be no need to wear anything too fancy. I have shopped my wardrobe for my dress. This tiered dress is a firm favourite and is from the BIBA label at House of Fraser.

PO;KA DOT DRESS

I borrowed the reversible jacket from my daughter and she might not get it back.

The shoes are ancient and are the most comfortable high heels I have ever had. Clarks shoes please bring them back again.

Jacqui looks ready to party in her LBD. I love the lace detail and embellishment. Check out www.mummabstylish.com

LBD MUMMABSTYLISH

I adore Gail‘s polka dot dress and pink boots. It is perfect for any occasion. I have boots somewhere in that lovely colour. Check out www.isthismutton.com

LBD IS THIS MUTTON

And look at Emma‘s perfect LBD. And how gorgeous is her hair colour against the black? See more at www.style-splash.com

And finally, let us have a look at Anna‘s LBD number. What a statement LBD it is with the fabulous hem ruffle with gold trim. And I love the gold accessories and statement brocade boots.  You can learn more at www.annasislandstyle.com

I am going to take this opportunity to wish you a HAPPY NEW YEAR and I hope we see an end to THIS BLxxxY COVID in 2022. Stay safe my friends and thank you for reading.

    That’s such a fabulous dress! I’m a big fan of Biba and have picked up some great pieces from the brand over the years. I’m torn between wanting to go out but also wanting the comfort of home. I think we’ll go to our friends’ house for the evening but head home soon after midnight. I don’t like starting the new year feeling rough!

    I love your polka dot dress Hilda, it’s a fun flippy style and perfect for so many occasions. And glad to hear the glamorous shoes are comfortable, they’re stunning with the high heel but I’m reluctant to wear heels these days! Happy New Year to you and your family xx

'Style Not Age' goes Tutti Frutti. Trying to injec 'Style Not Age' goes Tutti Frutti. Trying to inject some sunshine into our lives with my outfit. Visiting friends and knew I would have fabulous views over Dublin Bay as backdrop for my shot. A few minutes later I was nearly swept off the balcony by high winds and there had been torrential rain earlier. 
Check out my friends @annasislandstyle @mummabstylish @is_this_mutton_ and the @thestylesplash and see their fabulous colourful outfits.

Love how perfume just like literature can transpor Love how perfume just like literature can transport you to other places.

The top notes of Italian Bergamot, Grapefruit from Florida and Tunisian Orange Blossom in @storiesparfums No01 fragrance is both suggestive and enticing!

I am a fan of a citrus blend because it is so fresh and we love that it is unisex too. Both GG and I like it though it is entirely different on each of us. Usually I rob his razor to shave my legs ...now I can rob his scent too.

The ethos of the brand is also commendable with its commitment to sustainability. And that is only part of the story.
Much to love! Check it out www.storiesparfums.com

When your drink matches your accessories life is g When your drink matches your accessories life is good!  Taken on our weekend in Porto in May @travel_department.  Sunnies @tkmaxxie Bag @orlakiely and hat @wallaroohatsuk. The hat folds easily and emerges from case perfect.  None of these are new purchases!

 Now getting excited about our river cruise with them on part of the Danube in a few weeks time. What to pack? It is always a dilemma. Anyone got any tips?

Wishing I was back in Porto with @travel_departmen Wishing I was back in Porto with @travel_department. Pic taken on steps of Casa da Musica, which was just around the corner from our hotel. Shopped my wardrobe. Must mention the @hottershoes which are years old and fabulous for walking. Love my @orlakiely  bag also years old. Hope that the sun is shining wherever you are.  Not sure what the weather holds for us today in Ireland.  Won't be holding my breath. Blog post up on some good books.

'Birthstone Beauties' is the theme of this month's 'Birthstone Beauties' is the theme of this month's Style Not Age. Mine is turquoise. Not a colour I wear often. But with my daughter's bag (old) and this dress from @dunnesstores (old) I think I did ok. And the sky is kind of turquoise too.
Mules are Asos. More on the blog.

Porto you are stunning. Loving our trip with @trav Porto you are stunning. Loving our trip with @travel_department and still the best part of two days left to explore. Would you believe we walked 14 km yesterday and some of it was up and down hills like this? Boy did we sleep well last night! Porto has surprises around every corner.  And it is a very accessible city. Cannot wait to tell you all about it. Have you been? Looking for  a recommendation for a restaurant for tonight or tomorrow lunch time. We are in the Boa Vista area but can taxi.

What I wear out walking! Love my sales purchase @s What I wear out walking! Love my sales purchase @selectedireland. Is it a gilet? I have no idea. But it is perfect for our Irish weather. Love how it dips at the back too.
Plenty of room to layer up underneath. Leggings are my old favourites @peachyleanofficial. And my runners are @asics. I find they give super support.

Hard to believe the trench is about 40 years old. Hard to believe the trench is about 40 years old. Classics never date do they? And in Ireland it is always advisable to have a coat of some kind, whatever the season. 
Happy Friday everyone. Looks like being another beautiful Spring day here.
