The Lady Magazine

12 August 2016

This week we have decided to celebrate those women who have that enviable quality – timeless style. Our cover girl, the utterly adorable Twiggy, or Twigs to her friends, is now in her late 60s yet she still looks radiant even with very little make-up. Petula Clark has this quality as well, and boasts more than seven decades in a business that is famous for its ‘throwaway’ stars. Her voice is now stronger than ever and she is in no rush to retire. And why would she? Although she might want to join the increasing number of ‘retired wells’ who are deciding that ‘less space is more life’ and are downsizing to one of the incredibly chic retirement properties we are featuring this week. Imagine saying goodbye to hoovering the stairs and mowing the lawn and saying hello to a whole new way of living. Or you could just decide to follow our Miss Darcy Bustle’s lead and treat yourself to a new outfit. There are some pretty irresistible choices on our A-line fashion spread. Until next week, best wishes Sam Taylor Editor
