About

 

It’s not about age, it’s about style. And this is for every woman who refuses to be invisible.

I’m a freelance journalist, author and former magazine fashion editor, with 30 years experience. That’s Not My Age began in 2008, when I noticed a space online to celebrate women of all ages.

My books, Style Forever and Know Your Style offer fashion, beauty and lifestyle advice and inspiration, for women of all ages.

As well as providing expert style advice, health and age-related features, interviews and podcasts, That’s Not My Age has been at the forefront of a movement empowering women and calling out ageism and sexism. And I’m proud of that!
