A style blog based on a fifty-something Baby Boomer doing her best to age gracefully.
Here are all of my posts featuring my personal outfits and looks, plus style tips, and iconic women to inspire women over the age of 50 to be their most stylish self.
Usually, by mid-August, many speak of the dog days of summer. However, it looks and feels like a taste of fall. I welcome the early seasonal change; it feels like September in August. Being a September baby, fall is my favorite time of the year. The summer of 2014 will go down in the weather […]
The last two weekends, I entertained a Philly State of Mind. I journeyed to Philly last week to spend time with my Mom for Mother’s Day. This week, I motored southeast, and the drive nearly came to a crawl on the Schuylkill Expressway because of the many events people were traveling to in and around […]
Earlier this year, in January, I told you that you should give your skin the Brush-off. I highlighted Dry Skin Brushing, an Ayurvedic remedy that is an ancient natural healing technique that benefits the skin on the outside and the inside. I adopted this quick and easy ritual to my morning beauty regimen, and my […]
Spring Is Here, and So Are Allergies One of the aspects I enjoy about not having a traditional desk job is the opportunity to be outside and relish the seasons as they change.

All or Nothing Ever notice how everything seems to happen all or nothing? Over this past weekend, I staged a Saturday afternoon get-together opportunity for the lovely ladies in my life with a Doubles Nickels art party at my home. I spruced up the house, put on my hospitality hat, and provided an excellent selection […]
and Afternoon Tea at the Plaza Hotel Tea or coffee? Tea! I have a long and varied association with enjoying tea and planning tea parties. I can recall playing with my doll babies and having tea. As a Jack and Jill of America member, I planned an Afternoon Garden Tea for the boys and girls […]
Model Behavior What does it take for people to model behavior every day in all that we do? Why is it necessary to remind people to be kind and thoughtful to one another? Here at the Age of Grace, the focus is on many of the celebrated months, days, or weeks designated for health awareness, […]
Goodbye January! Spring is just around the corner. Even though that groundhog shmounghog said six more weeks of winter–evidenced by the endless winter storms the first week in February–, I’m over this ongoing wintery mix. Let’s focus on the fashion forecast for spring! In my Springing Forward with Kate post, I reported on the emerald […]
