Mulberry A/W Preview Day

At the end of last week I went to the Mulberry preview day which launched their A/W collection.

I have been meaning to blog about this all week but I’ve been so manic with the build-up to London Fashion Week. However I have finally found a moment of quiet before the storm. (The storm being ten friends descending on me for food and wine, wish me luck as I’ve yet to prepare a thing!)

I’ve never looked at Mulberry as being much more than a handbag and leather goods label but I was sooo pleasantly surprised when I saw their entire A/W collection!

I was blown away by the wearability of its classic designs and I had dreamt up a wish list of 10+ products by the time my guided tour ended.

The highlights for me were the brown suede cropped coat, cream swing trench with large gold buttons and the oversized tartan scarf.

Summer time and the living is easy!

What a gorgeous weekend. The sun's out and That's Not My Age gets a mention in the May edition of Easy Living magazine. Life is sweet. 'Gone surfing!' features EL's favourite websites and blogs, and this month I've made the grade!

'A snappy fashion blog that celebrates the creed, 'style begins at 40,' the spirit of which we like very much. Part amateur Sartorialist-esque street photography, part cultural commentator and part gossipy fashionista, there is much here for anyone interested in fashion - of any age. We love it.'

What a compliment, the nicest thing anyone's ever said about my blog - I think I'm going to cry (or maybe that's the hangover kicking in). As a tribute, I'm going to recreate a look from the fashion pages. That's Not My Age loves simple, easy style and thinks the colour combination of greys and neutrals is beyond chic:





I love a jersey dress. Perfect for work and I can wear it on my bike, with knitted tights, of course. This little number, by every grown-up woman's favourite designer, Vanessa Bruno is on sale at The Outnet (have I told you about my latest obsession?). That's Not My Age would wear it with this cute Mulberry leather jacket, after all it's only thirteen degrees and still a bit chilly out there - as me and Mr TNMA found out yesterday when we tried to have a picnic in the park. I find a neutral leather jacket so much chicer than a tartan travel blanket, don't you?





And don't forget....TheOutnet.com is throwing a very special birthday party, for one day only on April 16th the online fashion outlet will host a pop-up sale where all items will be available at the giveaway price of $1/£1/€1. For more information, www.theoutnet/birthday.com
