‘Style Not Age’ Shares Picnic Outfits

Monday, 28 June 2021 by Hilda
Hello, my friends. ‘Style Not Age’ is back with a picnic theme this month. What would you wear to a picnic? This prompt came from Gail of ‘Is this Mutton’. Do you go on picnics? I used to as a child. I would gather my sisters and take them off to a nearby field that

The Sky and the Sea Inspire ‘Style Not Age’

Monday, 31 May 2021 by Hilda
HOW THE SKY AND SEA INSPIRE ME When I think of the sky, I picture the colour blue. Some fluffy white clouds float by. Another favourite would be sunset or sunrise with yellow, red and orange colours dominating. Similarly with the sea, I prefer the blues of sunny days rather than the greys of stormy

‘Style Not Age’: All Dressed Up and Nowhere to Go

Monday, 28 September 2020 by Hilda
We have had so few occasions to get dressed up in the last 6 months. My summer dresses were particularly neglected and I spent most of my time in more casual and leisure clothes. Social occasions were mainly outdoor barbecues. And with Irish weather being so unpredictable, I always went for trousers and layers and

‘Style Not Age’ Share FROW Outfits

Monday, 31 August 2020 by Hilda
This month, we are having a little fun and imagining what we would wear if we were invited to sit at the front row (FROW) at any of the designer shows at London Fashion Week. The pandemic has obviously changed how it will look and I believe 90% of London Fashion Week in September will

Denim Directions with ‘Style Not Age’

Monday, 30 March 2020 by Hilda
My friends from ‘Style Not Age’ and I are bringing you denim this month.  We decided we need to bring you some normality. In Ireland, Graham and I have been in self-isolation for two weeks. We have seen our family from a distance. More restriction came in two days ago and now we can only

Flower Power means ‘Style Not Age’ dig out their florals

Monday, 24 February 2020 by Hilda
I chose ‘Flower Power’ as this month’s ‘Style Not Age’ challenge. WHY? Because the shops are full of floral patterns on tops, jackets, skirts and dresses. You could say that floral prints are having a moment. In truth, they have been back on trend for a few years now. But where did the term ‘Flower

Porto you are stunning. Loving our trip with @trav Porto you are stunning. Loving our trip with @travel_department and still the best part of two days left to explore. Would you believe we walked 14 km yesterday and some of it was up and down hills like this? Boy did we sleep well last night! Porto has surprises around every corner.  And it is a very accessible city. Cannot wait to tell you all about it. Have you been? Looking for  a recommendation for a restaurant for tonight or tomorrow lunch time. We are in the Boa Vista area but can taxi.

What I wear out walking! Love my sales purchase @s What I wear out walking! Love my sales purchase @selectedireland. Is it a gilet? I have no idea. But it is perfect for our Irish weather. Love how it dips at the back too.
Plenty of room to layer up underneath. Leggings are my old favourites @peachyleanofficial. And my runners are @asics. I find they give super support.

Hard to believe the trench is about 40 years old. Hard to believe the trench is about 40 years old. Classics never date do they? And in Ireland it is always advisable to have a coat of some kind, whatever the season. 
Happy Friday everyone. Looks like being another beautiful Spring day here.

Post up on what makes me happy. Lots of different Post up on what makes me happy. Lots of different things in fact. But in this post I focus on grandchildren, the safe arrival of my new grandaughter and the joy I get from reminiscing on past holidays and looking forward to new.
This pic was taken when we were in Morocco a few months before the pandemic struck. We had a wonderful trip @tdactiveholidays. And so glad we were guided as we saw so much more and were well looked after.

Skincare meets makeup. The new No 7 Restore & Ren Skincare meets makeup. 
The new No 7 Restore & Renew Foundation might just become my new favourite. 
I do not like heavy foundation on me and prefer a lighter, more natural look. But at my age, I need something that adds radiance, evens skin tone and does not emphasise wrinkles. Plus it is full of skin-loving ingredients. Win win!

'More is More and less is a Bore'! Inspired by st 'More is More and less is a Bore'!

Inspired by style icon Iris Apfel, my Style Not Age friends and I dig out our beads and bangles and go maximalist on the blog. Our theme coincides with the launch of her collaboration with H&M.
So head over to my friends and see how they interpreted the theme!

What I might have worn on St Patrick's Day if Covi What I might have worn on St Patrick's Day if Covid had not finally got me. Luckily I was not sick at all and the only symptom I had was a touch of sinusitis. When I get sick I nearly always have sinus problems.
Hope you have been enjoying the beautiful weather because Spring has definitely arrived in Ireland.

Have been wearing #playtex lingerie for several ye Have been wearing #playtex lingerie for several years now. They are so pretty and most importantly very comfortable.  And with #underwear comfort is key! 

This latest set is from their top selling 'Flower Elegance' range. It comes in many colours and I chose this lovely greyish blue set. This is #gifted but happy to buy others because they fit me so well. 😍
My first bras were Playtex and in my 60s I have returned to this iconic brand again. Everything comes full circle!
