Street Style: keep warm and carry on

As the cold snap continues, That's Not My Age drags herself off the sofa and onto the street to find out how to look stylish and avoid frostbite this winter.


Lucky, Victoria Durrer-Gasse, 50, designs clothes and accessories, lives in Ibiza and was on her way to India when we met. Who knew that boho chic could be so cosy?


Paul Iwala, 42, in head-to-toe vintage (even the camera's second-hand), proves that a classic leather flying jacket never goes out of style.


A splash of colour always looks good in winter, and a fabulous Hermés bag looks good anytime! Globe-trotting, Milena Tsavliris bought her cashmere coat in Milan and pashmina in India. Glamorous or what?


Let's hear it for Beatrice Smith, who at 92 years-old becomes That's Not My Age's most senior street style icon. After 60 years of marriage, and three years as a widow, Beatrice says she's having fun,'kicking up her heels.' Respect.

Street Style

One of my friends, who's a lot more tech-y than I am, introduced me to Twitter over a year ago. So far I've tweeted three times. My first tweet was a moan about feeling jet-lagged after a trip to New York and the others were sent recently to spread the word about my street style pics for That's Not My Age. OK, so I know I'm not The Sartorialist, blimey, I don't even take the photos (I just find the people and ask the questions). Luckily I have a couple of photographer friends who cover that side of things and together I think we find some pretty-damn-fabulous-over-forties! So here are a few more:



'I'm not wearing any make-up! You want it au naturel, you got it,' says Joan Rolls, a very young-looking 56, with her gorgeous Dutch bike and glamorous Kirsten Heckter tweed coat. The teal Mongolian lambswool scarf makes a nice contrast don't you think?



Angela McLennan, 68, looks fabulous in her Agnes b beret, wool swing coat and sassy tartan skirt. And don't think I haven't noticed the nicely scuffed-up leather Chloe bag!



Like a female Indiana Jones, Ainslee has been on some amazing around the world adventures. She bought this hat in Buenos Aires and the beautiful, wool scarf from 'a weaver in Hammersmith'


PS If anyone knows how to change the Twitter format (the gadget looks a bit ugly and I've noticed other bloggers don't have it on show) - please advise!
