absolutely below bogart date fall high imagine jackets lauren older pencil skirt wear women
If you've got the body and the chutzpah, a pencil skirt is so sexy on older women. Look for ones that fall just below the knee. Think 1940s, cinched-in jackets - imagine you are Lauren Bacall on a date with Humphrey Bogart and you just absolutely have to wear very high heels.
fall two half
You won't often find me in a pair of killer heels: my heel height doesn't rise above two and a half inches, as I would just fall over!
begging clothes shoot stuff year
M&S clothes just get better and better, year after year. I'm always begging for stuff from every shoot we do.
possible rule
My one big rule for the over-40s is don't try to dress like an 18-year-old. It's possible to be 'on-trend' when you're older - you just have to look for the right stuff. You don't have to spend a fortune, either.
buy copy elder fabric hated liked looked
My elder sister used to get the fashion magazines, and I would go through them and find things I liked and buy fabric and copy them. But I hated what I looked like. I mean, I was sooo skinny.
balance great key shape
The key with a full-skirt shape is to balance it out with a great figure-hugging top.
I was a very, very shy, insecure teenager.
couple easy funny great kate love work worked
I love Kate Moss. I've worked with her a couple of times, and she is a great girl, really funny and easy to work with.
best bless jamie love
Jamie Oliver's books are the best. I love Jamie. Bless him!
golden good looking
My golden rules for looking good are to moisturise to ridiculousness with a really rich moisturiser. And I always take my make-up off before going to bed.
bit days lines pull wisdom
I'm grateful for my lines of wisdom. Of course, there are days when I think: 'Oh my gawd, I look a bit tired.' But I can pull it together if I have to.
bought coat lecture people realise soon
I think I had a fur coat that someone bought me from Portobello Market back in the 1960s, but I think as soon as you think about it, what it is you're wearing, make that connection, then you realise it's just not right. I don't lecture people about it, but it's not something I'd ever wear.
boring fluctuate love taking time
I love exercise, but I find it boring doing the same thing all the time, so I fluctuate between going to the gym, doing Pilates, and taking dance lessons.
flattering tone women
Yes, black is slimming, but it's not always youthful. The right tone of red, however, is flattering on all women.
