Growing Up in Style

  • Growing-up-in-style

The constant barrage of twenty-something celebrities with long legs and micro minis both in magazines and on television, can make it all too easy for us real women to throw in the towel on the fashion world. At Gemini we have had many an email asking for help, exclaiming that 'Everything's too young, too short, too tight, too bright!'

But Good news ladies! This week in The Telegraph Hilary Alexander has reported that the youthquake that has kept so many of us in thrall to the likes and looks of Cheryl Cole and Sienna Miller is losing pole position or, most certainly, being seriously challenged! Look at the evidence - Sandra Bullock, 49, has just been named the top money-making star of 2009. Meryl Streep (who made seventh place) is starring in the new comedy "It's Complicated", and has been voted the sexiest 60-year old at the box office. Moira Stuart, also 60, is making a comeback on Chris Evans's Breakfast Show on BBC Radio 2. Twiggy, yet another 60-year old, appears to be single-handedly responsible for Marks & Spencer's sell-out success story over Christmas; a pink coat she modelled.

And don't forget the enduring power, appeal and style chutzpah of the likes of Dame Judi Dench, 75, Dame Helen Mirren, 64, Joanna Lumley, 63, Nigella Lawson, who turned 50 a few days ago, and Kristin Scott Thomas, 49. So if you've turned 40, perhaps it's time to turn your back on Gossip Girls and base your style on one of the Golden Oldies...

5 GOLDEN RULES

1. Don't discount the classics; they've been around longer than you have.

2. Accessorize, accessorize, accessorize - scarves, belts, jewellery, bags, funky shoes

3. Unsure? Book an appointment with one of our personal stylists. They have over 10 years of experience between them and after an initial consultation including colour, shape and style analysis, they will guide you through our latest collections, selecting pieces that they know you will love. To book your appointment contact Anna or Emma at shop@gemini-woman.co.uk or 01789 266894.

4. You are what you bra! Get the right size; all Marks & Spencer stores provide free fitting.

5. Nothing too tight, too short or too much, regardless of age - unless you're Lady Gaga.
