Today I am delighted to be interviewing Eugenia Russel Hargrove for our latest edition of Ageless Style. I love how she seamlessly combines her classic timeless style with a little old Hollywood glam. Eugenia pens the blog Age of Grace. On her blog, she shares anti-aging tips and tricks for women over 50, her passion for over 50 fashion, and common health issues for women over 50.
