It was Jacqui’s turn this month and she chose ‘Full Skirts’ as her prompt.  I guess you either love them or hate them. I love the full skirt on other people, but I feel they can be tricky to style. If you are neither tall nor slim you might need to wear high heels and

Hello my friends. ‘The trees are in their Autumn Beauty’ and so I decided that Autumn Hues might be an appropriate prompt for ‘Style Not Age’. Can you believe that we are heading into November? In Ireland, we have changed over to our winter time and we all had an extra hour in bed on

Let me tell you why I ended up on a tour around the George Horn . a few weeks ago. I met co-owner Gerard at the launch of Helen McAlinden’s autumn/winter collection. More on that later! I had taught Gerard about thirty years ago. He had been living in New Zealand, but returned to Dublin

But, in reality, summer (and therefore dreamy dresses) has been a bit of a non-event until this weekend. While in Derry/Londonderry last week,

Gail chose this month’s theme French Girl Style.  What is French Girl Style 2024? Well, it depends on what magazine or which blog you read?

Hello, my friends. It was my turn to pick the theme for our ‘Style Not Age’ gang and I chose ‘April Showers’. Well, let’s face it, we have had more than our fair share of wet weather here in Ireland. A new trench coat has been a priority for me for a while. I have

This month, we at ‘Style Not Age’ pay homage to the style icon, Iris Apfel. This legendary lady died last month aged 102. You can check out our post two years ago on this amazing woman HERE. IRIS APFEL’S STYLE Iris Apfel was not an advocate of minimalism. I have her book ‘Iris Apfel Accidental
