How to stay stylish forever



And now for the most surreal thing I've ever typed: I was on the cover of the Daily Mail, and so was Mick Jagger. Not together, mind. But at least I was in good company. (see HERE for evidence) Just a couple of weeks until the book launch and so the newspaper ran an exclusive feature including excerpts from Style Forever alongside more general tips and advice and photographs of yours truly looking all glamourous and airbrushed. As an old school friend's sister commented on Facebook, 'So different from the mad punk rocker who turned up at my wedding.'




These are my three favourite outfits from the shoot. And here are the details:

Casual Glamour: The tuxedo jacket in the top picture is from Jaeger available HERE, linen t-shirt by Hush is available HERE and the trousers are Eileen Fisher. Shoes, LK Bennett, available HERE.

How to wear colour: The red Milano wool coat is from Winser London, stripy t-shirt by Jigsaw is available HERE, white stretch jeans by Hobbs available HERE and Derby shoes Hobbs available HERE.

My favourite new thing: the jumpsuit is from Reiss, available HERE.



Read the feature (and see more photos) HERE.

    I saw the article in the Daily Mail & have to say the first two pictures in your post are definitely my favourite outfits. That red coat is just stunning.

    These are all wonderful outfits but I have a weakness for jumpsuits.

    Great and inspiring! ( and I'm only 44)
    What a shame about those nasty comments on the daily mail's website, really undeserved! I have one questions though: I never heard about renewing bras every 6 months. I uselay have good quality ones and they last me for years! This is no good then?

    Woa...you look fabulous Alyson in all of the photos. The top look is by far my favorite. We just never know what life holds for us...that is so cool about being there with Mick! Now, if I showed up in the newspaper with Paul McCartney, I would know anything was possible!! I am so excited for your book and you really do look amazing!

    You look beautiful, Alyson! The jumpsuit is my favourite on you.
    My style and yours may be polar opposites but I'm thrilled about your book and wish you loads of success with it 'cos you're an ace chick.
    PS Will Mick be at the launch? xxxx

    Wonderful! You are a fabulous ambassador for women of a certain age. Although truly, your look is so timeless, with just enough edge, to inspire women in their 20s. Well done, you!

    You look lovely. You're sure rocking those outfits. But...I am disappointed that you consented to airbrushing. That in itself, says aging is ugly snd unacceptable.

    Irmin/Genuine Lustre - oh there's no way I'm looking at the evil comments on the Mail website. Not going to waste my time with that nonsense!

    Vix - thank you, and I wish!

    Joanne - I didn't consent to airbrushing. The Mail do as they please, this was out of my control.

    Agree with this from Claire; The mad, punk rockers are always stylish... regardless of age.

    Go you! Re the DM comments, they're nothing personal, just the usual rubbish. I've been busy with the red arrows ...

    Why hasn't the DM linked to your blog???

    Possibly the first decent thing I have ever read in the Daily Fail. (The comments were really ridiculous apart form the positive ones of course.) Looking forward to reading the book.

    You look fantastic. The outfits are all realistic. One question: are the shoes you're wearing with the jumpsuit comfortable?

    All 3 looks are fantastic and suit you equally well. The jumpsuit is really gorgeous and so is the first look - stylish yet not too formal. Beautiful hair too, Alyson!

    Still reading :-)

    Gosh I might have to buy your book as you look stunning. I might learn a thing or two (probably more as I don't know how to style really LOL).
