Destination Fabulous: Finding your way to the best you yet

Product Information

It’s not about impossible goals. It’s not about running a marathon (unless you want it to be). It’s not about denying the ageing process, nor attempting to erase its signs. It’s not about letting everything go, either. It’s about balance. It’s about the possible and the present. And it’s about the future you want.

Destination Fabulous: Finding Your Way to the Best You Yet

I totally agreed with the author on issues of growing older with no or minimal medical or cosmetic intervention. I would be too worried to have anything done to my face so I embrace my wrinkles! However, I wasn’t as interested in her fashion advice. I’ve never really been into fashion and a lot of the companies she mentioned have prices way outside the average women’s price range I felt. Many of the women she suggests that readers look up to see whose style inspires them are indeed very stylish whatever their age. But I couldn’t help but notice that they were all very slim. Perhaps it’s easier to be stylish if you are confident about your body shape and size. And on that note, I won’t be standing in front of a mirror with no clothes on to admire myself, thank you very much! From the Fashion Director of The Times comes a wise, inspiring and invigorating guide to making the most of life as a grown-up woman – from the practical (how to dress your best) to the existential (how to feel your best). Equity release may involve a lifetime mortgage or a home reversion plan. To understand the features and risks, ask for a personalised illustration.A witty, warm, wise and illuminating guide to how to be your best self, inside and out. Deliciously upbeat and brimful of positivity, it’s a perfect roadmap for the years ahead. I loved it.’ Mariella Frostrup I can say that I have never written as many notes about a book as I have about this one! This is partly because my friend who chose this for us to read left little challenges or questions throughout the book for us to think about. For example, she encouraged us to think of something we could do together for fun and fitness, to reassess our wardrobes or think of a new hobby we might want to take up. A joyous celebration of the pleasures of growing older, and an empowering manifesto for changing our attitudes to age.’ Justine Picardie Publisher Alison Starling acquired world rights in all languages directly from the author. It will be published on 2nd March. I’m a bit conflicted about this book. On the one hand, it is full of fantastic advice for women like myself in their fifties. There are so many positive messages about learning to love yourself and making life the best it can be for you. On the other hand, I felt a lot of the advice was idealistic and not achievable for everyone. Many women have challenges in their lives which mean they simply cannot put themselves first however much they might want to or cannot afford to follow some of the advice given in the book.
