Do you remember the hype around the Iris Apfel x H&M collaboration last year? (I had to double check that because it feels way longer ago than that!) Well, I was poised ready to buy a few pieces…only to find it had sold out in minutes! Not one to be defeated, I vowed to play […]
Monki Floral Print Suit
Do you remember this outfit from a few weeks ago? Well, just after I bought the co-ord, the blazer also went on sale so I ordered that too! I now have five suits from Monki in this style and I love them. They’re so easy to just throw on with a T-shirt and trainers for […]
Kimono My House – July’s Style Not Age Challenge
It’s the last Monday of the month, which means it’s time for July’s Style Not Age challenge. It was Gail’s turn to set the theme and she chose “Kimono My House”. Kimonos do not feature heavily in my wardrobe, in fact I only have a sequin kimono, a fringed beach cover up and this cropped […]
Inspired By Frida Kahlo – July’s Thrifty Six
As I’ve long been fascinated with the colourful Mexican painter, I chose “Inspired by Frida Kahlo” for this month’s Thrifty six theme. I was first introduced to the works and life story of Frida Kahlo during my degree course. We studied several modules on art and feminism, and my lecturer was clearly a fan of […]
Satin Floral Print Co-ord
My obsession with colourful suits and co-ords continues! I’d had my eye on this trousers and shirt duo for a while and was quick to snap it up when it went on sale. In fact, I really wanted the blazer in this print but that wasn’t included in the sale at first. But then a […]
New Wall Art From Gallerix
I’ve been freshening up the kitchen, living room and landing with some fabulous new wall art from Gallerix. Pictures and wall hangings can really transform a room and I’m constantly looking at ways to improve the overall appearance of each room in the house. Like most home projects, it’s a work in progress. I have various […]
Retro Flower Print Dress
How’s your week going so far? We’re experiencing a heatwave here in the UK – something we don’t seem equipped to cope with! I managed to get the air con in my car regassed, which has made driving much more pleasant! I went to work in this dress yesterday in the sweltering sun…and when I […]
New Workout Gear To Keep Me Motivated
Today’s outfit is a bit different to my usual looks…I have some new workout gear! When I’m at home I’m usually in tracksuit bottoms and a T-shirt. I exercise at home – I have all my equipment in the garage conversion so I don’t have to drive to the gym to work out. That doesn’t […]
Candy Pink Skinny Jeans
I’m back with more frills! In yesterday’s Style Not Age post I wore the pink version of this top. I bought them from my favourite shop in Funchal – Dona Hortensia – that always has something I can’t resist. For about 25 euros they were excellent value for money. I don’t wear much black lately […]
Vintage Shirt and Yellow Trousers
Sunday really lived up to its name…because it was a lovely sunny day, warm too. It was short lived though unfortunately as the rain has returned. Having seen the weather forecast, I shot these photos while I could! This vintage shirt has a matching skirt, but I wasn’t in a skirt mood – it’s going […]
