Also, being shortlisted in the Beauty and Fashion category was such an exciting moment for me.
I was incredibly grateful to everyone who nominated and supported me. It’s lovely to know that people enjoy reading about the outfits and fashion finds I share.
Looking back, it’s one of those blogging memories that still makes me smile.
Fashion At Every Age.
I love that fashion gives us the chance to express our personalities.
Whether it’s a beautiful lace dress, an all-black outfit, a colourful statement piece or something comfortable for everyday life, there’s no reason to stop experimenting with style as we get older.
Being over 40 doesn’t mean playing it safe with fashion. Wear the colours you love, enjoy dressing up and have fun with your wardrobe!
Do you enjoy dressing up for a special occasion, or are you more of a casual everyday fashion fan? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

However, true luxury isn’t always about the newest.
For me, it is what smells bring back fond memories is what matters.
