Grown-up, contemporary and extremely flattering and you won't look like mutton dressed as lamb.
Do you feel too old for Topshop but too young for Per Una at M&S?
Welcome to the over 30 fashion club. Anyone who has passed the milestone age will know only too well that styling yourself is no mean feat. If you're a stylish lady who has outgrown bodycon dresses but isn't quite ready for cashmere cardigans, this is the compilation of the ultimate guide to the designers who offer elegant clothes for grown-ups, rather than styles for youthful fashion victims.

Comtoir des cotonniers

Founded in 1995, Comptoir des Cotonniers is the go-to brand for the French; and who doesn't want to take style notes from our friends from across the pond? The brand offers affordable luxury and a full wardrobe for women of all generations. Comptoir offers a mix-and-match of trendy and iconic pieces inspired by the French city girl. 'Our woman is simultaneously spontaneous and smart, upright and feminine, stylish and cheeky, urban and genuine, natural and sensual,' say the brand. Think work-appropriate jackets, sleek trousers and the most flattering of coats.

reiss

It's the British high-street brand with the Duchess of Cambridge's royal seal of approval, so Reiss must be doing something right. With modern tailoring that's a far cry from the boardroom, Reiss has carefully considered fabrication, fit and craftsmanship to offer a thoroughly feminine collection. There's print shirt-dress, wide-leg trousers and necktie blouses perfect for day-to-night dressing. Fabrics and textures are rich in suede and leather, whilst fringing, luxe velvet and feather appliqué added a touch of luxury for the lady who wants her wardrobe to work a little harder.

the pretty dress company

Born in the historic town of Gravesend in Kent, The Pretty Dress Company set out to create garments that fit, flatter and flaunt - and they do just that. The designers aimed to create simple, comfortable and affordable garments designed to suit every size and shape of the female figure. Inspired by the glamorous females of the 1940's and 1950's, the brand's dresses have just the right cuts to hold you in, push you up and hug your curves in all the right places. With designs complimented by more intricate lace detailing and smaller bursts of blooms adorning chic dresses and midi skirts, the company's focus on prints, in particular, grown-up florals, sets it apart from other brands. Made and designed in England, the brand has a strong celebrity following of over thirty women including Christine Bleakley, Nigella Lawson and Nicole Scherzinger. www.theprettydresscompany.com .

iris and ink

Iris & Ink, the Outnet.com's private label, is the go-to destination for soft feminine shapes and more directional, tailored pieces. The brand loves to experiment with texture: think luxurious cashmere knits, silk blouses, suede skirts and butter-soft leather dresses. Ideal for women who prefer to take a pared-back approach to dressing, the palette focuses on neutrals and the kind of classic wardrobe staples that really will never go out of fashion.

Upset With Your Thin Hair? Try These Cool Haircuts!

Image
Having thin hair is not a life sentence of limp, lifeless locks. Sure, being born with super-thick, flowing, supermodel-esque hair may afford you more options, but there’s no reason fine-haired ladies need to throw in the towel. Much of beauty is about optical illusions. Just like the right lipstick can make your lips look fuller and the right eyeliner can make your peepers pop, the right haircut can transform thin hair into a (seemingly) thick, voluminous mane.  Shoulder-Length Blunt Cut                                                 Long locks can weigh down any look, so keep thin hair shoulder length or above. The trick for pulling off a shoulder-length style is making it a blunt cut. Blunt lines make your hair appear thicker. To maintain and amplify fullness, avoid over-texturizing hair with lots of layers.  Deep Side Part     ...

That Little Space Can Be Charming Too!

Image
Bathrooms can seem like one of those spaces that always seem small. But how do you make the most of a really small bathroom? A small bathroom can be stylish, practical and, with the right know-how, space-efficient. 1. USE ALL YOUR HEIGHT. When your space is at a premium but you really need useful storage spaces in it, use your room’s height all the way to the ceiling. A step stool makes sure everything is still in reach.         2. LESS IS MORE. Architecturally and visually, it is best to keep a small bathroom feeling open by not crowding too many things into it. Edit your amenities often, hang your towels on bars or hooks, keep pattern to a minimum, and generally, make it simple. The room will feel bigger if you use a pedestal sink rather than a bulky vanity, a clear glass door rather than shower curtain and reflective surfaces such as glossy ceramic tiles in a large scale.         3. ATTRACTIVE WALLPAPERS. One of the b...

The Right Color For Your Lips!

Image
HOW TO FIND YOUR PERFECT LIPSTICK SHADE? It wouldn't be that hard if you know this few things before taking it back home from the store with you. It might look so pretty on celebrities you follow on Instagram, but are you sure you can rock it the way they did? First of all, know your undertone. How?  Look at the color of the veins on your wrist. Blue usually means cool and green usually means warm, but if you can't quite tell, you might be neutral. Are you more likely to burn in the sun or tan? If you burn, your undertones are cooler. If you tan, your undertones are warm. Most foundations or concealers or tints will tell you what tones they best suit, but if they don't, a Google search will probably point you in the right direction. Next, look for colors that match your undertone. Shades that are tinted blue and even purple are the best for cool undertone while yellow such as orange lipstick are the top choice for warm undertone. If you are neutral, you can pick...

10 Reasons Why Siblings Make the Best Bestfriends!

Image
Friends may come and go, but siblings are forever, and there’s absolutely nothing they can do about it. They're the first person we text when we get to know that there's a family event on weekends, the shoulder we cry on during hard family situations, and the best advice-givers around. They know us in-and-out. Here are 10 backing reasons to why siblings make the best bestfriends. 1. They grew up with you, so they know exactly how weird you are, all your good and bad sides and still love you. 2. Awkward family gatherings are way more fun when you can hide out with your siblings and cousins, or just sit and laugh at all of your dysfunctional family members. 3. They understand fully without having to explain the ins and outs of your dysfunctional family from which you all come, and you either have the exact same opinions on who is crazy and who is not or it’s your parents who are accusing one another of insanity in which case you avoid the issue altogether. 4. You d...

All You Need To Know About Sunburn!

Image
Most sunburn is actually a first degree burn, and is accompanied by the familiar symptoms of tender reddened skin. More severe burns, with bright red colouring, swelling and blistering indicate that the burn has penetrated the surface layer of the skin and become a second degree burn. ▌  Causes  ▐ The sun has two types of ultraviolet radiation important in a discussion of damaging effects to the skin. It is UVB rays which cause sunburn and the potential for skin cancer, although UVA radiation is now also considered to contribute to premature ageing and wrinkling. Reflected sunlight from sand, water or snow can also cause sunburn.  Certain drugs can intensify the harmful effects of UV radiation. Fair skinned people are more vulnerable to sunburn than darker people, but it is possible for anyone to get burnt if they are exposed for long enough at a time or place when the UV levels are high. Few cases of sunburn require medical care, however, extremely severe cases of s...

Ready to meet some seriously strange creatures? Things you would not believe actually exist? Then take a deep breath and join us as we dive into the deep to get up close and personal with the ocean's weirdest marvels...   Phronima (Amphipod)     An extremely versatile parasite, the Phronima (Amphipod) is able to live not only in many regions of the oceans but also in places other than the sea floor. Thought to be the inspiration for the xenomorph from Alien, this creature is barrel shaped with a semi-transparent mass and large front claws. These creatures can carve away the interiors of their prey, salps, and crawl their way inside, floating the ocean from within. In this barrel shape, the females are able to reproduce and carry their eggs on-the-go.   Leafy Seadragon   Named seadragons after the dragons of Chinese legends, leafy seadragons definitely resemble the dragon of fairy tales.
