‘Style Not Age’ goes Tutti Frutti for June

I decided to focus on orange, as you can see. Orange in all its hues is absolutely one of my favourite colours and I love its vibrancy. It makes me think of sunshine and sunflowers. Combining the energy of red and the vibrancy of yellow, it is a positive and uplifting colour associated with energy and happiness. I definitely have a passion for orange.

Tutti Frutti

I borrowed the amazing leather tote for this pic (above) from my friend Kevina. You have seen me write about the Malahide-based designer Julie Peelo before. You can check out her instagram page @iampeelo or her website www.peelo.ie

Tutti Frutti

Tutti Frutti

I was running out of time to get photos for this post, so I combined the post’s needs with visiting friends in their penthouse. I need some photos, I said when we arrived. But the weather did not play ball. I nearly took off across Dublin Bay.

Tutti Frutti

Anyway, it was good fun and there was some nice light also.

Everything I am wearing is over 6 years old. The dress and shoes, Hugo Boss and Clarks respectively, were bought in 2015 and the Zara kimono a year later. And I forgot to bring my orange sunglasses which would have completed the look. And, yes, I know I did not need them!

STYLE NOT AGE

So let us look at my friends.

Tutti Frutti

Gail is striking quite a pose here. Her stripey t-shirt is actually called Tutti Frutti and is from Kettlewell Colours; it’s new but everything else is shopped from her wardrobe. Gail has written many interesting posts on her colour palette and how wearing the right colours for you is so important. You can read all about it and learn about her Tutti Frutti outfit over on Is This Mutton.

I have also had my colours analysed with Maria Macklin and found it really helpful. You can read more HERE.

Tutti Frutti

Jacqui borrowed her colourful dress from her daughter. I love how she has complemented her dress with an orange bag and tie-up shoes that are a fabulous shade of green. Green earrings complete her Tutti Frutti outfit. Pop over to Mumma Be Stylish to see what Jacqui has been doing.

Tutti Frutti

Emma chose the prompt this month.  And look how well she has interpreted the theme with her peach motifs. Both her shirt and bag are by Fabienne Chapot.  She has several pieces from this peach print range, including two dresses and a skirt! The lovely green trousers are by Flounce London (from Asos) and sunglasses are SkinnyDip London. Read more on Style Splash.

Tutti Frutti anna

Anna’s Tutti Frutti is a riot of colour.  She shopped her wardrobe for the look.  Look at that vintage Jaeger skirt. I love the TK Maxx top and those pink boots from H&M. It’s a joyful outfit on a beautiful summer’s afternoon, unlike what I am looking at as I write this. Yes, it is bucketing down. In between the heavy showers it is ok. See Anna’s Island Style for more details.

Hope you have enjoyed ‘Style Not Age’ this month. We are heading off on a river cruise soon, so I will be taking a break from posting. But I will be reporting back on our holiday and you can keep up with me on instagram if you wish.

Thanks for reading.

Love Hilda x

    You look beautiful in orange. I love the color but, it doesn’t work for my skin tone so I buy it in accessories and in prints. So fun to see all of your friends’ colorful options, too! xo Nipa

Yes exciting stuff! But decided not to publish a picture of my colon. Yes you have been saved that!
Have a lovely day. The sun is out.

Great fun at launch of @travel_department and @tda Great fun at launch of @travel_department and @tdactiveholidays 2024 brochures with new initiatives and destinations. Get planning now with the best in #guided travel. Don't leave it too late. Practically nothing left this year.
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)

Accessorising my bandages is now a priority! And I Accessorising my bandages is now a priority! And I found the perfect leather phone bag @bagsbylanda A/W launch today. It holds more than a phone, by the way! Room for lippy, cards and keys too!
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!
More pics on stories.
Shopped my wardrobe for the rest.

Orange you glad the sun is back at last! Love the Orange you glad the sun is back at last! 
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!😂

'Kimono my House' is Gail's prompt for this month' 'Kimono my House' is Gail's prompt for this month's 'Style Not Age'! And I did not realise it was an album by The Sparks back in 1974. 🫢
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.
Shopping my wardrobe for everything.

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.
