accessorising to perfection for a special spring wedding

April 26, 2017

I am a huge fan of accessories in all their glorious forms; hand bags, shoes, sunglasses, jewellery, a younger good looking boyfriend (only joking!) and really believe that they can both make or break an outfit.

What is it that Coco Chanel said about accessories?

“Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off.”

The key to making your accessories work is to either allow them to be the bold shining statements of your outfit, taking centre stage and hogging the limelight, or to...

Cat

First up in a new regular feature I'll be blogging about called my #secrets to being and staying #fabfitforty!

I've done these as little easy to consume tips and will be releasing them regularly so watch this blog space, my instagram feed or my Facebook page! Please like and feel free to share and tag.

Its not rocket science - most of it is good old fashioned common sense but sometimes we need a kick up the butt as a reminder of what we should be doing. We may well have slipped into a few bad habi...

oh me oh my migraine

April 13, 2017

Cat

If like me you are unlucky enough to suffer from migraines then you have my full sympathy. No matter what the trigger, they are seriously debilitating and leave me bed bound with a cold flannel over my eyes.

Unfortunately, my beautiful and incredibly leggy niece also suffers from them and has done since she was a little dolly. She’s 15 now and already a foot taller than me, all long lithe slender legs! I’ve just seen on Facebook that she’s had her inner ear pierced. Apparently a pressure point that al...

for a plumper complexion look to lactic acid and the wonder brand from down under

April 12, 2017

|

Cat

Lactic acid is amongst the most popular of the AHA’s, short for alpha hydroxy acids, and is incredibly popular in skincare today. It's also the L in today's entry into the A-Z of skincare hall of fame.

Contrary to the sound of this ingredient, it’s not something to be scared of but rather embraced and loved as its going to be your wing woman in the fight against the appearance of wrinkles, other visible signs of ageing and is fabulous at reducing acne breakouts and sloughing away old, dead skin calls.

getting ready for a much needed girls’ night out on the town

April 7, 2017

|

Cat

I had a very long over-due night out with the girls at the weekend so that threw up the dilemma of “what to wear”!

Of course I discussed the subject at length with the other FFF’s to establish the level of “glamour” that we were aiming for. Was it to be a smart casual affair or were we going “ALL OUT”?

As we were headed into London’s Soho for a meal and some disco dancing (around our Mulberry handbags of course) we all agreed that the stakes were high and our heels should be the same.

So began a week of...

the detoxifying effects of chinese clay

April 3, 2017

Cat

It’s a double whammy today. It’s the turn of letter K in our regular A-Z of skincare feature but I also have a tried and tested and truly amazing product for under a tenner too!

So today we’re talking Kaolin. A soft clay, also known as China Clay, that’s super rich in detoxifying minerals.

It’s got many varied uses but when combined in skincare and mixed with essential oils, it creates a lovely super absorbent paste that’s perfect for tackling oiliness and shine. Applied directly to the skin as a leave...

the benefits of an alkaline diet

April 1, 2017

Cat

I’m still on with my quest to uncover the secrets to a flatter stomach and to banish the bloat. It’s a process of elimination and experimentation as well as lots of research. Today I’m reading James Duigan’s Flat Tummy Fast book. Well, if its’ good enough for Rosie Huntington-Whiteley then it’s good enough for lil’ ol me!

So today with the help of James I’m looking into the issue of acidic versus alkaline foods and how one can play havoc on your system whilst the other brings calm and tranquility!

the secret to being fabfitforty

"get up, dress

up, show up

and never give up"

Share

So what's it all about?

fabfitforty is a reality check site for women like me; too old to give a damn, too young to give up on looking and feeling fabulous.

I wanted to create a site where I could speak to women in their 40's and beyond, whose needs just seem to get forgotten. We still love fashion, we want to stay in shape, lead a fulfilling and fun life. So if you're an FFF like me, then you've most definitely come to the right place.
