My ‘Style Not Age’ group is tackling Jewel Brights this month, with the challenge being set by Anna. What are jewel tones?

‘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

‘Style Not Age’ does My Favourite Autumn Trend
Monday, 28 October 2019
by Hilda
What is your favourite Autumn trend? Or do you have one? Even if you are not trend driven, it is impossible not to be aware of what is trending. I’m all for experimenting in the safety of the dressing room, but I don’t necessarily buy into many of them. However, each season brings new trends

Flaming June Fashion with ‘Style not Age’
Monday, 24 June 2019
by Hilda
‘Flaming June’ may be something of a misnomer as it is very likely that June 2019 might be our wettest June on record. I can tell you that the two most used items in my wardrobe this June are my raincoat and my umbrella. But I am ever the optimist and hope that there is

‘Style Not Age’ Sequins Challenge
Monday, 31 December 2018
by Hilda
I have only one item with sequins in my wardrobe, a top I bought in Oasis years ago but have never worn. I love sequins on others; they are sparkly, they shine and catch the light, so why don’t I wear them? I consider myself a sparkly fun-loving person, so surely it should be reflected

Christmas Jumper ‘5-over-50’ Style Challenge
Monday, 18 December 2017
by Hilda
I have never really been a fan of the Christmas jumper trend. I know it seems like I don’t have a sense of humour, but I can assure you that I do; it just doesn’t extend to wearing a novelty Christmas sweater. So, when Laurie from VanityandMe decided that this was to be our next
