Style is what you make it, I think…..
Skin, for me is the most beautiful element about someone.
They could be dressed in courture but if their skin is unhealthy then it subtracts ‘something’ from the over all look.
I believe the diet is important too, if only it was as important trying every flavour of Adriano Zumbo’s macaroons twice over.
My friend Ms S, raves about Pilates and has given me a copy of her CD, I barely get through the Beginners Yoga DVD she gave me for Christmas.
I like how I feel after Yoga, relaxed and happy, it’s like the feeling after swimming without the 1hrs bus ride to Bronte.
Wear sunscreen.
I have a total love affair with le tan http://www.letan.com.au/
Easy to use and then even make a tanning oil-with SPF, so I can smell like a tropical holiday and not turn the colour of my favourite MAC lipstick (Russian red BTW) I love the formulation (of the sunscreen) and can wear it under make up, go and buy some today, keep it in your handbag.
Wear a hat, I wear a Mary Makillop girls school hat whilst padding in outdoor situations, yes I get some funny looks but I don’t get leathery. I also have a Kincoppel one for swimming in the Eastern suburbs (ha!)
Please maintain your hair, even if short and manageable (hmm, I am not sure I d ever like to think I had a hairstyle because it was manageable.) Split ends are gross; learn to trim your own fringe. Do add a conditioning treatment to your routine
I have a friend, who has platinum locks, but doesn’t use a blue shampoo or maintain her roots, if you cannot look after it then change your Barnet please!
Another woman whom I admire greatly has a wonderfully military/goth style wardrobe.
“C” told me the other week that she had to start dressing more sensibly more her age. My heart dropped, I don’t want anyone to think like that ever! I understand going from a bikini to a one piece and leaving the hot pants to Kylie. I had a blinding vision of my darling friend clogging her wardrobe with beige and sensible cuts.
This is a woman whom not a year ago bought this shade of Nars lipstick from me.
Please C, do not change, take a leaf out of this blog and vamp it up!

C, I know you have a while to go before getting near these Glamorous Grannies. However, it only takes one beige stretch jersey skivvy to get onto the slippery slide to ‘Biscuit Bay’
I have a style, somewhere between the 40’s and 50’s with the occasional dressing down days, which still involve hair and make up.I love costume jewellery and cannot live without RED!
On an off duty day, jeans and black top, with a scarf and my favourite luxe lippy
I am typing this as my nails dry with a coat of Cherry red nail varnish. It is the details that matter, nails, skin and a smile.
Tell me about your favourite at home beauty treat……
