This blog teaches me that age does not confer, or lessen, the ability to dress in a way that makes the most of what you have.

Cal said...

Oh I'm a huge fan of that blog - it always puts a smile on my face and a spring in my step.

lagatta à montréal said...

I enjoy a good eccentric, but some of the people are just gaudy, questionable taste. Nothing to do with their age, they probably showed qustionable taste as teens. But some are just lovely, and inspiring.

(Needless to say, I like the gentleman on the vintage red bicycle).

I hope your Cornish writing retreat is going well.

I don´t know how to react to some of the outfits on this site. I don´t know what to think about some of the outfits on The Sartoalist either. Maybe it is just me being too conservative and not being used to too unusual (IMO) outfits.

Dear Linda:

I've read your article in Elle about 'Fashion recesion', and I'm almost completely agree.

About Westfiled, it's a big lie, I was working for a greek company, without name, i prefer dont say the name, and i tell you for companies like that the fashion industry it's in a bad situation, it's not the same with the english companies, with stardars and policy good for the bussiness and good for the customers, good quiality and nice design as weell.

I would like speak more with you, because I think your point of view it's really interesting currently, so you're inspired to me for write 'NOW' in my site.

If you want take a look, i'll be really proud of.

THANKS A LOT, by the way nice, beauty blog, i would like link to you, if you want...sorry for my basic english.

Thanks a lot.

older people who have the balls, the confidence and the know how (ok and the money, though money has never bought taste), i think, are to be admired.
admmitedly at times some outfits fall in the gaudy or flashy side, but it is a lot better that others who seem to have completely given up.
it is not just a case of older people dressing up: the dressing up, the attention to the detail, the time it takes to search, purchase, put together something like that indicates a jest for life, a positive attitude, a will to be alive, a sense of houmor and of fun when it comes to themselves, to fashion, to everyday living, to the world at large.
and isn t that what it should all be about? our ability and will to live a full life independant of age?

This is simply a fun film. I agree with you about Swayze and Reeves--I wouldn't want anyone else in these roles (or Busey's, for that matter).

People can say what they will but his earnestness comes off as more genuine than many stars right now.)

In addition to paying off debt and helping with bills, there are federal grants to improve your quality of life. Some grants cover travel expenses for vacations, while others help with the purchase of a car or even a home.
