Hello, my friends. I am late with my post ‘Wear your Greens’ for March’s ‘Style Not Age’ challenge.  I have a wonderful excuse. GG and I were enjoying ourselves at a wedding over the weekend. And it has taken me a few days to get this together. Back to reality now and this month’s challenge.

I love leather: real leather, faux leather, I love it all. So lovely leather is my choice of prompt for this month’s ‘Style Not Age’. And I decided to feature my Italian-leather cream coat purchased in Oxfam in Malahide. I saw it in the window and popped straight in to put my name on it.

Well, we have had some turbulent weather recently with Storm Eowyn causing havoc in both Ireland and Great Britain. Ireland was basically shutdown. Schools, creches, shops remained closed and there was no public transport. Unless absolutely necessary, we were advised not to go out. We were lucky in Malahide even though we are beside the

“Golden Girls” is our ‘Style Not Age’ theme for December, chosen by Emma. And my friends have really outdone themselves in their outfits, embracing the golden girls prompt in spades.

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

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

Second-Hand September was Gail’s idea!  And I knew it would be a challenge for me. I used to shop in second-hand, charity and vintage shops when I was in college! But I got out of the habit in recent years. My favourite was Jenny Vander, which opened in George’s Street Arcade in 1974, the year

Hello friends. Lovely linen is our Style Not Age theme this month. I wore a linen dress from Whistles which is about eight years old. But a shirt dress never goes out of fashion. Right? I might not have worn it much recently, but this gave me the perfect excuse. The weather has really changed

Festival Finery is Emma’s choice for July. And, of course, summer is festival season. I am thinking of music festivals, flower festivals, literature festivals and so on. I have actually been to two fabulous concerts locally in June, but was more concerned about keeping dry and warm than dressing in any festival finery. So what
