Do You Love Timeless Style?

Today I am joining my friend Brenda Coffee from 1010 Park Place for our Monthly Ageless Style Series. Do you Love Timeless Style? Please welcome Deborah Boland to Ageless Style. Deborah is a former lifestyle TV producer and host, and currently blogs at Fabulous after 40.

Do you have a favorite color?

I lean towards warm colors like coral, red, and yellow. My closet is full of them. I’m a Spring so I love bright, clear warm colors. In the winter I love burgundy, brown, rust, and all those fabulous fall colors that complement my golden hair and complexion.

Do you have a signature piece that defines your style? 

Probably a classic sheath dress in a bold color like red! I like fitted, feminine clothes with exquisite tailoring. A touch of drama is always exciting too. For example, I love capes! Pure elegance!

Do you have a style icon? 

I’ve always loved Jackie O, and Audrey Hepburn. Lately, I admire Amal Clooney. These women are elegant and understated and have a strong personal styleS.

What are your style strengths? 

My strength is I know myself. I understand the colors, shapes, and vibe of the clothes that suit me best. I stick to that and I’m quite consistent. The odd time I will experiment with something new and different, but I am not the kind of fashionista who loves to try every new trend out there.

Do you have repeat offenders in your closet if so what are they? 

Lots! Many pairs of fabulous black pants, red sweaters, wrap dresses, and anything coral!

Do you have any style rules that you live by? 

I don’t have rules but I have a point of view and that is, that less is more when you want to look elegant. Too much pattern, color, and detail makes you look confused and messy, well on me anyway. There’s a saying, Elegance is restraint. I love that.

What are your favorite online go-to sources? 

I mainly enjoy seeing what other bloggers are wearing, and I like reading Elle online and Who What Wear.

Do you have a particular designer that you are drawn to? 

I love simple, elegant, quality clothes with an excellent fit. I’m also drawn to brands that aren’t afraid of color. Some of my favorites are Veronica Beard, DVF, Vince, Elie Tahari, and Akris Punto. For casual I like Ann Taylor, Banana Republic, Talbots, Nordstrom. They always have classic styles with a modern twist that suit my relaxed lifestyle.

Do you have any favorite hair products?

Yes, I like Hair Biology Shampoo and conditioner since they are geared towards mature hair and make my hair nice and full. I also love Colleen Rothchild Quench and Shine Deep Conditioner which I use when I need a boost. Another favorite is Big Hair Day Volume Spray by a Canadian brand called AOB.

What are your favorite beauty products that you can’t do without?

I’m a big fan of Charlotte Tillbury. I love her everything of hers, especially her lipsticks – Kidman’s Kiss and Coral Kiss are two of my favorites. I also love Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Brow Definer and clear Brow gel which have helped with my disappearing eyebrows. Bye Bye Undereye concealer is a lifesaver and I use a lot of Bobbi Brown eyeshadows.

What advice do you have for women over 50 and beyond?

You can’t go backward, so let’s look Age-Amazing! Let’s look the best we can for the age we are and enjoy our lives! Just because you are a certain age doesn’t mean you have to give up looking fabulous. Style is ageless. Go forward, have fun with fashion and enjoy!

What strengths do you think we have as women over 50?

I think we have time. Precious time to now focus on ourselves. We know who we are now and what we want. We just need to go after it with confidence and joy. That’s what I am trying to help women do. I help you Tweak your Chic and be the best version of yourself at any age!

    EDITORS NOTE: I WANT EVERYONE TO FEEL FREE TO COMMENT HERE ON THE BLOG EVEN IF YOU DON’T AGREE WITH SOMETHING BEING DISCUSSED. HOWEVER, THIS IS NOT A FORUM FOR MEAN AND UNKIND COMMENTS. THESE LOVELY LADIES THAT WE INTERVIEW HERE ON AGLESS STYLE TAKE TIME AWAY FROM THEIR BUSY SCHEDULES TO SHARE THEIR EXPERTISE AND KNOWLEDGE. THERE ARE PEOPLE (NOT REGULAR COMMENTORS) THAT TRAVEL AROUND FROM BLOG TO BLOG MAKING UNSOLICITED UNKIND COMMENTS. THEY ARE KNOWN AS TROLLS.

    Cindy,
    You always introduce us to such lovely people! Beautiful style and you can really see the importance of having clothes tailored. Every look and fit is perfect. There’s no such thing as small, medium and large….everything needs to be tailored and that’s one of the first things you notice, is that every piece of clothing is the perfect fit! Gorgeous! And love “Age-Amazing,” because as she says, we cannot turn back time!

    I know Deborah Boland from Instagram so I love seeing more about her style. She’s the second woman I’ve read about who’s gotten her colors done. Must consider that. xoxox, Brenda
