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

Wanted: a new holiday wardrobe

Ta da.... the first photograph of That's Not My Age, that hasn't been decapitated. Thankfully the sunglasses and hat are disguise enough. Here I am in Italy last year wearing my favourite holiday vest. A ribbed cotton halter neck from Jigsaw, 15 years old or thereabouts, that has travelled all around the world with me (don't worry I'm not going to bore you with the rest of the holiday snaps). This trusty top, faded by the sun and worn to death is the first thing I pack, every summer.

Having just got back from our tripette to Turkey, it's only natural that I'm contemplating the next vacation. And this year, I've been thinking that maybe it's time to find another reliable vest top before my Jigsaw number completely disintegrates. So I spent the afternoon conducting research on t'internet - whilst Mr TNMA got on with the holiday laundry - and found this gorgeous Chloé tank on The Outnet:



And then of course I just had to find a complete holiday wardobe to go with it. To travel in; bleached jeans, a lovely safari-style jacket and woven leather wedge sandals. Despite the fact that grey marl track pants are on trend and far more comfy, you'll never catch me slouching around Heathrow in a pair. I always travel in jeans.





For the beach, I'll be needing a kaftan - and the longer, the better. At my age, coverage is the name of the game, though I do still wear a bikini, having perfected my sun lounger to sea dash (sadly more like Dudley Moore than Bo Derek in '10'). And finally, I'll take a new pair of sunglasses. My holiday snap is out there for the world to see, I wouldn't want to get recognised now, would I?
