Street Style: keep warm and carry on

As the cold snap continues, That's Not My Age drags herself off the sofa and onto the street to find out how to look stylish and avoid frostbite this winter.


Lucky, Victoria Durrer-Gasse, 50, designs clothes and accessories, lives in Ibiza and was on her way to India when we met. Who knew that boho chic could be so cosy?


Paul Iwala, 42, in head-to-toe vintage (even the camera's second-hand), proves that a classic leather flying jacket never goes out of style.


A splash of colour always looks good in winter, and a fabulous Hermés bag looks good anytime! Globe-trotting, Milena Tsavliris bought her cashmere coat in Milan and pashmina in India. Glamorous or what?


Let's hear it for Beatrice Smith, who at 92 years-old becomes That's Not My Age's most senior street style icon. After 60 years of marriage, and three years as a widow, Beatrice says she's having fun,'kicking up her heels.' Respect.

Curiously commendable to be so glam at 92. I'm so miffed I only found my furry ski boots after the snow had melted...

Fashionistable is one of my favorite street style blogs! In addition to the great pictures, I enjoy the interesting info about the featured person.

I want Milena's bag, like now!

Susan - if it makes you feel any better, I've only just started wearing my Uniqlo heat tech thermal vest. Let's hope we're as glamorous at that age!

SA - Fashionistable and I go back a long way, we work separately on our blogs but go out together looking for over 40s to photograph.

LF - I know, tasty!

So pleased you did (drag yourself off the sofa, that is!) They all look fabulous - am especially loving Victoria's get up (and she does not look 50 ... either!) but Beatrice takes the biscuit - AMAZING!

Where is all the snow in these pictures?? Up north (London) we have tons of the stuff.

A message for Finchley Girl. If you see this - I live in Whetstone so just north of you and it is still deep in snow too. Believe me I feel like I have arrived in a different country every time I go into town to shoot. In fact for my post last Friday I went out of my way to find some snow to shoot people near, just to prove it was actually there!
