Anna Murphy in Conversation with Jo Elvin

  • West End Lane Books 277 West End Lane London, England, NW6 1QS United Kingdom (map)

Author Anna Murphy will be joining us to discuss her new book Destination Fabulous on Wednesday 14th June. Anna will be in conversation with journalist Jo Elvin.

At 50, Anna Murphy feels more visible than at any point in her life to date.

Her new book, Destination Fabulous, is the toolkit you need to embrace your age and celebrate the wisdom and inner beauty that comes with it. 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. How do you lift and smooth your face naturally? Should you go grey, and, if so, how? How do you deal with menopause? Anna combines her knowledge from years of writing about fashion and beauty with her openness to the alternative ways of thinking found in disciplines such as yoga and Chinese medicine.

For her natural is always best. As for fashion, Anna knows better than anyone that this can be the ultimate route into surfacing the true you. She shares all her tricks for finding your way to a wardrobe that will transform not just the way you look but the way you feel.

And she shares the highlights of her conversations over the years with super-stylish agers such as Iris Apfel and Miuccia Prada. How have they got it right?Drawing on the wisdom of writers as diverse as Pema Choedroen and Eckhart Tolle, Dorothy Rowe and Osho, Nora Ephron and Mary Oliver, she writes about saying goodbye to what doesn't serve you and welcoming what does; about forging relationships that work for you as well as others; and about finding your purpose, whether in your personal or professional life. Discover how the bumps on her road have helped her find her way to her true path.

Her hope is that this book will help you to find yours, too.

Tickets cost £5 which will be redeemable against a copy of ‘Destination Fabulous’ on the night. Please note that you will not receive a physical ticket for this event and will instead be added to our guest list.
