About

Image

 

It’s not about age, it’s about style. And this is for every woman who refuses to be invisible.

I’m a freelance journalist, author and former magazine fashion editor, with 30 years experience. That’s Not My Age began in 2008, when I noticed a space online to celebrate women of all ages.

My books, Style Forever and Know Your Style offer fashion, beauty and lifestyle advice and inspiration, for women of all ages.

As well as providing expert style advice, health and age-related features, interviews and podcasts, That’s Not My Age has been at the forefront of a movement empowering women and calling out ageism and sexism. And I’m proud of that!

This week’s most wanted

The best style staples to buy right now, and hold on to forever. Items carefully selected from the high street, luxury labels and lesser-known small businesses; to coordinate or contrast with your favourite wardrobe pieces. Mix it, match it, love it!

Looking good is not about buying loads of new stuff but spending time figuring out what makes you feel chic and comfortable and confident. These are just a few suggestions to help you stay stylish.

Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays! And a selection of good films & TV to watch
