Late spring is full of surprises. The sudden smell of perfumed flowers in the air. Impromptu drinks on a lovely evening (early doors, of course). And, having never worn white – apart from my school shirt in the 1970s – I now find myself in favour of this light, bright neutral. It’s a wardrobe revelation. Say hello to The Full White Skirt ( FWS). Last year, I bought a white shirt dress in the sale – this year I’m enjoying the FWS.

How lovely to receive some media coverage in the Wall Street Journal‘s Off Duty section at the weekend. Interviewed by the journalist Esther Achara on staying stylish over-60, six women share their advice on dressing well, together with some beauty tips, collected over the years. (I’m linking to the online feature but you have to be a WSJ subscriber to access it). Briefly, the article covers advice on what to wear, style pointers, key accessories and footwear.

The long weekend is here and I’m ready for it. Time to kick-back, watch some of my favourite TV shows and keep an eye on the Peak Goose situation in the park ( three couples on a relatively small pond and a lot of honking!). When I’m venturing further afield, I’ll be sure to grab a neat cardigan, a tote bag for all my bits and pieces and my oh-so precious travel card. At a recent design fair, I bumped into Anna Kreeger the founder of M Hulot an independent, sustainable accessories company.

Four days to go until TNMA: LIVE! Thanks to all those who have booked tickets for our super-stylish afternoon – I can’t wait to meet you in person. Bringing That’s Not My Age to life has been on my wish-list for some time and I’m looking forward to a series of excellent conversations with like-minded women, at the Fashion and Textile Museum in Bermondsey.
