‘Style Not Age’ channels Winter Opulence

Monday, 30 December 2019 by Hilda
My last post of the year features my ‘Style Not Age’ gang and Winter Opulence is December’s theme, chosen by Emma. I took my inspiration from ‘Dr Zhivago’.  Mention winter opulence to me and I imagine being whisked away in a horse-drawn carriage or over the snow in a sleigh. So yes, I went all

Dyrberg/Kern in Arnotts has a Christmas Present for You.

Thursday, 07 December 2017 by Hilda
Arnotts in Dublin has been my ‘go-to’ shop for years: it is pretty fair to say that you can get practically everything there, so I am always popping in and out. I was very happy to see the return of Dyrberg/Kern, the Danish jewellery brand, to the store. While you can find the brand in

It is not often I get a chance to wear a hat, so when I was invited toDundrum Town Centre Ladies’ Day at the RDS Dublin Horse Show last week by Qatar Airways (the main airline sponsor) I jumped at the chance. See what I did there! The day began with brunch at The Intercontinental

Stripes…the love affair continues.

Wednesday, 02 August 2017 by Hilda
Last summer, I wrote a blog post about my obsession with stripes – you can read the post here. The love affair with stripes has continued this year! What is it about me that when I go into a shop I am immediately drawn to them? Neither the colour nor the direction of the stripes matter;

‘Selected’ stylishly Scandinavian

Wednesday, 12 April 2017 by Hilda
Have you heard about the Danish label Selected Femme/Homme? I have only recently discovered it since it arrived at the end of last year in my local shopping centre Swords Pavilions, but you can also find the label in stores like Arnotts or if you are so inclined you can shop online at www.selected.ie Why

The most versatile shirt-dress ever!

Wednesday, 29 March 2017 by Hilda
Regular readers know that I cannot resist a good bargain and so when I found a Halston Heritage Shirt Dress on the discount rail at Arnotts in Dublin a few weeks ago, I promptly snapped it up. I always loved the American label, but could never afford it back in the ’70s so this called

Glowing skin just after my final @ultraceuticals_i Glowing skin just after my final @ultraceuticals_ire treatment. You can read all about my 90 day journey using at home potent products and in-salon treatments over on the blog. Particularly happy with my skin tone which is brighter and less blotchy. And the lines and wrinkles are less obvious too...plus the jaw area seems tighter.

New post up on the blog featuring where we stopped New post up on the blog featuring where we stopped off on our Danube River Cruise. Love looking back on the photos which bring back great memories of our trip. We stopped off somewhere different every day. Our final stop was Budapest. We arrived during the day, but the trip up and down the river at night with the city lit up was magical. The Parliament Buildings were particularly spectacular.
