Summer Sizzlers with ‘Style Not Age’

Well, the sun finally appeared and Anna chose Summer Sizzlers as her prompt for July’s ‘Style Not Age’. In Ireland, we have not seen the mad temperatures of the UK, but have had lovely warm days in the early 20s.

I tend to cover up in the sun. And this sizzling orange linen shirt has had plenty of wear over the past few years. Why it even came with me to the Sahara Desert when we visited Morocco with TD Active  (below) pre-Covid.

I wore it recently when we visited the National Stud and Japanese Gardens in Kildare. If you have not been, it is worth a visit. We will definitely return.

So it was the perfect place to get a few photos. We were minding little Bodhi when her Mum was involved in a photocall.

Japanese Gardens

Both the shirt and the really light denim cut-offs were bought in Paula’s in Malahide. The sling back shoes and the sandals are very old Clarks. I had the sandals with me for walking around; the shoes were merely for the photo! The bag is old Zara. I was disgusted that I forgot my orange sunglasses.

‘STYLE NOT AGE’

And look at how my friends sizzled. Anna remembered her orange sunnies and razzle dazzles in an orange jumpsuit. I bet you want to know where she got it. Check out ANNA’S ISLAND STYLE.

And Emma (below) also chose orange as her Summer Sizzler. Look how she stands out against the blue sky.  Love her hat too. You can find out more at THE STYLE SPLASH.

Jacqui is wearing a daring swimsuit that’s new from Debenhams with some lace trousers (old) and a new hat from Dune. Those hot pink sandals finish her look perfectly. Follow sizzling hot Jacqui over on MUMMA B STYLISH.

Gail sizzles in pink and acid green. She took this photo on her holidays in Skiathos. Pop over to IS THIS MUTTON to find out more about what Gail has been doing.

    I love that fun linen top on you, Hilda. I tend to cover up too. Protect my skin! Glad to hear you are having lovely temps and not the scorching heat parts of the UK got.

    PS…we are coming to Ireland in September!

    Your orange shirt is indeed a Summer Sizzler Hilda! I love the casual look you’ve put together and yes, I totally understand how annoying it is to forget a vital part of your outfit – you still look very stylish though x

Core memories made celebrating GG's 70th Birthday Core memories made celebrating GG's 70th Birthday with our beautiful family on Safari in Birmingham last week.

Let's call it chaotic; wild & wonderful all at once with four Grandkids between 17 months and 7 years old. 😂

Our Indian Summer and a visit to Gorgeous Gort and Our Indian Summer and a visit to Gorgeous Gort and our friends @annademart.ie and @hynes6026 gave me a chance to wear this beautiful dress from @paulasmalahide. Visited Coole Park and Thoor Ballylee, ate delicious food  and drank too much wine with lovely people @mcevoycarlos and @mcevoyleonie. More pics on stories.

Realised I had not given this lovely dress a place Realised I had not given this lovely dress a place on the grid. Bought from @studio124dublin. Over on the blog I have published a post on having a colonoscopy. 
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.

Magic weather this weekend .... Magic weather this weekend ....
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.

We were married 41 years ago on the hottest day of We were married 41 years ago on the hottest day of the year. Still mad about him and often with him, but still love him completely and for ever!

'Love's not time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come.'

 What is the secret? 
Resilience, an ability to compromise and a sense of humour. Oh and an ability to zone out. GG is a sweetheart, kind and loving. He has an endearing/annoying habit of telling the same stories time and again. Now I zone out. 🙂
He puts up with my shortcomings too, though I am sure they are minor😂
