Ari Seth Cohen’s Advanced Style
Getting back to writing has been like getting back to working out after a bit of time off. Slowly and with much procrastination. I’ve really enjoyed my time offline, A LOT. Got a lot of reading, sewing done and just not being online was refreshing. One lovely book that got the creative flow going was Ari Seth Cohen’s Advanced Style. (Thanks, Santa) I’m sure you are all familiar with his style blog Advanced Style, highly rated and well worth a peek if you haven’t visited it. This blog showcases the women and men of a certain age who really know how to dress with style, fun and joy. This book would make a great gift for any fashionista young or old, but great for that woman who might be celebrating a certain birthday with a little melancholy. Sure to give them a lift and a good lift at that. Below are a few of my favorite ladies and their inspiring quotes on aging, fashion and having fun with it all.

A great quote from Valerie and Jean sums it all up.
‘Young woman you’re gonna be an old woman someday. Don’t worry about it don’t sweat it. Don’t worry about getting older. Every era, it builds character.’ Amen!
For the new year whether we make it ourselves or buy off the hanger may we all do it with style and flair.
The magical effects of thinking 
Oh thanks for this I just love the attitude you can tell they have lived life and have stories to tell. So inspiring.
There was one comment in the book where a woman said it’s so easy to give up when you get older with dress, apperance and so forth. The ladies presented here clearly show they have not ‘given up’ and in fact look like they are having the time of their lives through dress and fashion.Perfect
Welcome back!!!! Ah, so refreshing, so fun. Reminds me of my spunky great Aunts that would fit perfectly into this book, only they were from Taos, NM. I hope to live long enough to be caught in a great outfit, looking fit and funky. Getting older really is a special gift, nothing to fear. I guess there’s no time like the present to show your style. 40’s the new 30’s!!!
Right! Seeing these women just makes me happy. They are just so damn spunky.
