Today I am joining my friends Sarah from Sarah London Style, and Kim from Northern California Style for our monthly Signature Style Series. This month we are talking bags, totes, or whatever you like to call them. It's hard to go wrong with a great bag. For those of us over 50 and beyond they need to be stylish as well as functional. Regardless of what our husbands claim (tee hee) one bag will not serve every purpose. Let's talk about five handbags that savvy women over 50 need in their ...

Under the Radar Ways to Style a Blazer Over 50
This month for our over 50 Fashion Edit Jennifer and I are discussing blazers. Most of our closets can be divided into two categories "statement pieces" and the indispensable items we wear all the time. Blazers are big this year and I can understand why. They are so versatile. Do you look at your blazers and think office ? Have you rarely worn them since covid? I know many of you are no longer working or you are working from home. Blazers are one of those trusted closet essentials that can get ...
How to Wear Combat Boots over 50
Today I am joining my friend Brenda from 1010 Park Place to chat about Combat Boots. I am sure this topic will be a hot one! I know you ladies will either love them or hate them.

I love them and they are comfy. Let's talk about how to wear combat boots over 50, shall we? Before Brenda and I show you how we ...

Ageless Style Kelly Grace Swift
I popped into our local Anthropologie recently and spotted this cute bubbly blonde. She asked if I needed any help. As usual, I was in a big hurry to grab a few things for a photo shoot. I thought to myself oh no she is one of those annoying well-intentioned salespeople who keep bringing me things to try on when I don't have much time. I explained to her that I was a blogger and time was at a premium. She obviously checked out the blog. The next time I came in (also in a hurry), she quickly ...

This year I love the idea of tailored blazers in plaids and leathers and the knitwear trend. Let's take a look at the fall fashion the knitwear ...
My Affair with Ralph Lauren
I have had an "affair" with Ralph Lauren for as long as I can remember. His designs are best described by Elle Decor as "one part Western cowboy, one part lord and lady of the manor, and one part Carole Lombard in My Man Godfrey". They are quintessentially American, they are timeless, and they hold their value. The affair began in the 80's. We were building a home ourselves with two small children. There was not a lot of extra money for designer clothing. Anything I picked up came from ...
