‘Style Not Age’ Bring Me Sunshine is April’s Theme

We are nearly in May and to date have seen very little sunshine this year. March was the wettest month on record and we had great hopes for April. Though we had a week of sunny days and some were actually warm, it did not last long. April showers are back again. Emma came up with this month’s theme of ‘Bring Me Sunshine’ and how apt it is.

Somehow everything seems better in sunshine. We know it improves our mood and enhances our sense of wellbeing.

Now have you heard of the brand Never Fully Dressed? My daughter loves it and when I saw this co-ord two-piece in her wardrobe I asked if I could borrow it. It screams sunshine. The mood-enhancing bright colours gave me a spring in my step.

I am also super-impressed with the quality of the fabric. It is not flimsy and hangs beautifully. And the print is so vibrant and colourful. Of course, the top and wide legged trousers would work wonderfully as separates too.

I immediately went online to look up the label. And I am in love. I discovered that the founder, Lucy Aylen, started manufacturing clothing from her parents’ attic and  then sold pieces at London markets.

Recognised for its signature prints, wrap dresses, multi-wear styles and affordable price points, Never Fully Dressed has amassed a huge following worldwide. International shipping is free, by the way.

Go look at the website. You will find it difficult not to purchase.

MY ‘STYLE NOT AGE’ FRIENDS

Emma who gave us this wonderful theme is sunshine personified in a beautiful yellow dress.  Loving the accessories, too. Pop on over to The Style Splash to learn more.

Gail has gone with sunshine colours yellow and orange, but still wrapped up quite warm as she said the long hot days seem a long way off! You can find out more on Is Ths Mutton.

Style Not Age

Anna has gone for a wonderful pink trouser suit and reminds me of the colours of a rising or setting sun. Looks like she found a sunny day for her pic. All the details can be found over on Anna’s Island Style.

Style Not Age

And even though there was no sun when Jacqui took her photo, she brought her own sunshine in another gorgeous yellow dress. And Jacqui can be found at Mumma B Stylish.

Style Not Age

So bring me sunshine in May…

Thanks for reading my friends.

    I love a coordinated outfit and yours, well your daughter’s, is so good. And so fun that you can share with your daughter! I think if you wear it with confidence, you can wear anything!

    First, love your challenge! Bright fun colors can instantly lift my mood.
    Second, I hope you get sun soon!! I remember living in an area where the sun hid for months at a time…that was hard.
    Love your daughters outfit!!

Memories. This time last year we were in beautiful Memories. This time last year we were in beautiful Porto with @travel_department.
Highly recommend if you have not been.There is so much to see and do and we could not believe how inexpensive it was compared to Ireland and even other parts of Portugal. A glass of beautiful wine was about 3 euro.
I did write a blog post about it at the time with lots of recommendations.

New glasses alert!! I usually wear a contact lens New glasses alert!!
I usually wear a contact lens in one eye..the other was lasered years ago. And even though I had glasses I was seldom happy enough with them to wear them 'out out'! I certainly never had a photo taken.
But that has changed with these beauties @macnallyopticians. I actually enjoy wearing them.
It does take time to choose new frames and I did not rush the process. 
There was huge choice.
I was given expert advice including best frame shape for my face.
They fit better than any other pair I have ever had.
They are really comfortable.

Thanks to Ellen Macnally for her patience and advice.

It is all about the BAG! I am.obsessed with this ' It is all about the BAG! I am.obsessed with this 'Yoko' tote bag from @absolutely_patsy. 

First of all I adore the colour. I always gravitate to this shade of yellow....summer vibes.
Secondly it is oversized and therefore perfect for shopping...travelling...well anything really.  I  will be taking it with me to Sicily next month and it will carry all my essentials for the journey.  It has an inside and outside pocket for cards, phone etc.
Patricia has fabulous boho bags on her site, all named after women she admires. Have a look at www.absolutelypatsy.com

Happy Easter Weekend to you all. It looks like Spr Happy Easter Weekend to you all. It looks like Spring might have finally arrived! I think! 
Anyway, I am wearing my fabulous jumper/sweater @irelandseyeknitwear to celebrate the warmer and brighter weather. It is so soft and easy to wear... I love the style with the longer back to hide the bum ... it's from their latest Solstice Collection. But there are so many styles it is difficult to choose a favourite.

Denim....but not jeans! This was our March challen Denim....but not jeans! This was our March challenge for 'Style Not Age'. Ok I cheated and did double denim. But nothing else looked right on me with the oversized jacket. Borrowed sunnies from @courtneysmithstyle who also took the pic. I decided that oversized denim was not for me so back to @primark with it. 
Good to experiment though and not get stuck in a rut!
Check out my friends @mummabstylish @isthismutton @annasislandstyle and @thestylesplash who have showcased lovely denim pieces.
