My favorite, the camel coat, is back for 2010. I love it, wish I can wear it (it just doesn’t look good on me) but I do always admire it, stare at it, try it on in the stores and walk away feeling cheated. But if you can support the coat, then for sure invest in one for the fall.
Collars are back in and of course this is a good thing for the woman over 40 with neck, cleavage and other issues around the neck area. So ladies, indulge in collars this fall.
Although naturally beautiful, Naomi Watts, in my opinion, was in a much-needed makeover, so I was really happy to come across recent photos of her where it seems she has a new look (I hope) and not just a one time look for the SALT premiere a couple of weeks ago in LA. Watts, who is 41 has two kids with her long time love Liev Schriever and in the recent years has looked particularly tired (understandably so) and I suppose hasn’t really focused much on herself as a result of her family life. I am not saying that is a bad thing, but I always want to see women make an effort to take care of themselves no matter what, just to keep themselves psychologically motivated to endure life’s *** on a daily basis. I especially appreciate coming across a positive makeover and feel more inclined to push myself harder as a result of it. I do believe that the first step to feeling good is looking good no matter what the body makeup …
I love it when I flip through print and online magazines and see a well put together outfit which in my opinion is versatile enough for the woman over 40 to consider wearing. Here is one I found in the Nordstrom Anniversary Sales Magazine which had me run to the store just to check it out in flesh (for lack of a better word) and believe me, the dress by Suzi Chin.Maggy Boutigue is a must add to my wardrobe. The only concern is the high-waisted pencil skirt for some woman but otherwise it is a classic ensemble of beads, mesh and rosettes on a heather/black duel colored two-piece dress. The dress on sale is $98.00 until August 2nd and then it’s going to be $148.00. To complete this amazing look, you are welcome to consider the Kenneth Cole New York Emcee Squared large satchel $198.00 pre-sale, $298.00 after. Which I am going to pass up and consider an imitation. What I love about this dress is that I can consider wearing it during the …
Shoe shopping has become a chore for me, now that I am in my 40’s. I swear every time I go to the mall, I hyperventilate when I need to shop for shoes because of today’s Salvador Dali-ish approach to shoe design. But you know, one of the most amazing things happened to me the other day while I WASN’T actually shopping for shoes. I found a pair which I can actually wear in public and on my feet and be able to walk in them and actually feel sexy. Oh thank heaven, Virginia there is a Santa Claus!!! Anyway, the shoes are made by guess who? Guess of course and are only 98 or so U.S. dollars and you can find them at any retail store which carry the Guess shoe brand. They felt comfortable, sexy and seem actually doable for about 2 or so hours outside the house. And ladies we all know that having a good pair of flats (please no flip flops or bare feet) on hand is always useful when …
