The older I get, the more I wear sunglasses – not to hide behind, but for practical purposes. To protect my eyes. As a self-declared minimalist, I’m not going for the Peggy Guggenheim sunglasses vibe. I tend to stick to classic Ray-Ban Wayfarers in tortoiseshell, alternated with an old pair of oval-shaped, mid-grey Prism sunglasses. But this summer I’ve decided to expand my (quite limited) sunglasses repertoire and try some 2025 sunglasses trends. Yes, I want to throw some shade.

On a recent trip to Milan, the pull-on-and-go top came in quite handy. For daytime dressing when you want to look stylish but not too try-hard, a simple silhouette with a little ‘extra’ is the solution. Think delicate print, just the right amount of ruffle, or cutwork embroidery. The pull-on-and-go top will perk up a pair of barrel-leg pants or midi skirt, with ease. Perfect when you’re travelling, or WFH and nipping out for a meeting.

The original prototype leather handbag made by Hèrmes in 1984 for the late Jane Birkin is up for sale, at Sotheby’s. Now, I am not usually one to get excited about designer bags but when I met Jane Birkin in 2010 (yes, really), I think I actually gasped when she produced the eponymous bag, replete with beads, stickers and a variety of other accessories. As part of the Fashion Icons sale in Paris, the OG-JB will be on view from 3- 9 July 2025, the sale is on July 10.

We had a lovely time at That’s Not My Age: LIVE! No surprise really with so many wonderful women in one room. The atmosphere was warm and friendly with a real sense of community, and most importantly –  we had fun. It is always enjoyable to meet That’s Not My Age readers, but this hasn’t happened collectively for a few years, because of the pandemic. How brilliant then to have the opportunity to get-together, listen to thought-provoking conversations and socialise.
