Happy Friday Everyone! I don't know about you but I need to "up my game" in the "loungewear" department. When I get home after a long day I really just want to jump into some PJ's or a pair of my not so pretty sweats. There are so many great options for loungewear available now. Why not slip into something comfortable and pretty! I have admired the lantern pant by Lisa Bayne for Artful Home for quite some time. I wasn't sure if they would be flattering on me. Artful Home also has a dressier ...

Ageless Style-Andy Poupart
When Elizabeth "The Vintage Contessa" and I started this series, our goal was to seek out women in our age group that own their own style and wear it well. A few weeks ago I started thinking; why should we only focus on women? What about fashionable men over 50? Enter Andy Poupart. I found Andy on Instagram via my blogging friend Kim of Northern California Style. In an effort to look younger, some men make the mistake of dressing too young which only makes them look older. Fashion ...
Over 50 Fashion Should be Fun
If you have read my blog for long, you know that my fashion posts are not ordinarily filled with photos of me modeling the garments. I am not all that comfortable in front of the camera. I prefer to show you how you can put the outfit together with other accessories. However, this Andin Jacket by Aimee G for Artful Home forced me out of my comfort zone. It is an investment piece, but a lovely one! ...
Ageless Style-Catherine Robinson
It's that time again. Elizabeth of The Vintage Contessa and I are each interviewing someone over fifty with great style for our Ageless Style Series. This month I am so pleased to feature the lovely Catherine Robinson from Cashmere Lover. Catherine lives in England and is the owner of Catherine Robinson Cashmere. Catherine says she began her business because she wanted to provide "a quality luxury product, with personal service, and an emphasis on presentation". I love Catherine's ...
Over 50 Fall Fashion featuring the Cloud Dress
Hello everyone from my new home on Wordpress! I am still learning the ropes (it is hard to teach an old dog new tricks!) so I am a little behind with my posting. Today I am featuring the Cloud Dress by Lisa Bayne for Artful Home. I love Lisa's signature line for its casual comfortable vibe. I ventured a little out of my comfort zone with this color. As you know I am a big fan of combining the high and he low in my decorating. I feel the same way about fashion. We all need a few art to ...
Over 50 Fashion- The Bee Tunic from Artful Home
Those of you new to my blog may not know that I am a Brand Ambassador for Artful Home. All of their clothing is artist designed and manufactured in the United States or Canada. One of the perks of the collaboration is that each season I get to pick three of my favorites. This season was a tough one. They had so many fabulous items to choose from. I will post about my other choices in the next couple of weeks. I know this tunic is destined to be a favorite. I love the color. It is almost ...
My Five Favorite Black Leggings
I promised you a post on the projects I am working on; but when my friends Lisa from Shine Your Light, Kris from Driven by Decor, Pam from Simple Details, and Jennifer from Dimples and Tangles invited me to join their popular five favorites monthly series; I couldn’t resist. This month we are focusing on fashion and beauty. Since I am (ahem) the elder statesman of the group I am rounding up my five favorite leggings. For me comfort is always key so one of my favorites is this french terry ...
Ageless Style Series-Mary Ann Pickett of Classic Casual Home
Welcome to the third installment of our Ageless Style Series. Each month Elizabeth (the Vintage Contessa) and I interview a stylish woman over 50. You can check out Elizabeth’s post here. I am happy to say this month I am featuring my friend Mary Ann Pickett; the quintessential “girl next door”. Mary Ann of Classic Casual Home and I connected through blogging. When they relocated to San Francisco, we met at the Design Center and became fast friends. Mary Ann has a refreshing ...
Fall Fashion Over 50-Khaki and Denim Part Two
Here are more of my khaki and denim favorites for early fall. This Joe’s Jeans Long Lauren Leopard Sweater is definitely a splurge but it sure has a great look. It is already sold out at Nordstrom. I am on the lookout for a good bag with handles that don’t split. I have had good luck with Dooney & Bourke. They are pricey but literally wear like iron. I love the Ostrich Barlow. If you can get by with a smaller bag this one is for you. I have tried and failed. I need to go for the Large ...
