A style blog based on a fifty-something Baby Boomer doing her best to age gracefully.
August 2019, by far the most exciting month for me as a blogger. Why? I received notification from InStyle Magazine, a photo I submitted selected for the September 25th Anniversary issue for the Real Style section. Better yet, I entered the essay competition for a one-year-old website celebrating black women: the site, Sisters from AARP. […]
Here in Central Pennsylvania, on December 1, the forecast called for the threat of wintry precipitation. Fortunately, the only condensation was a deluge of non-stop rain. The weather didn’t stop the first trunk show of Etsy store owner Cynthia of 2ChicDesigns, featured at Barnes Museum First Sunday in Philadelphia.
It’s Museum Store Sunday at the Philly Barnes Foundation this Sunday, December 1. Guess who is having her first trunk show there? Cynthia is the best friend, handbag, and accessory designer of 2ChicDesigns.
Before Instagram’s online photo sharing in 2010, one of the first fashion websites I booked marked back in 2006 was The Sartorialist. Why?

In September, you met the newly published author, Dr. Robyn Joppy; earlier this year, Silver Sneaker Fitness […]
In May 2018, the Ad Council ran a Public Service Campaign using the Alicia Keyes song; You Don’t Know My Name. This particular advertisement is unique and focused on the bond of sisterhood. But at the end of the commercial, a thought-provoking question was asked: Do you know your girls? By now, we all know […]
Since joining the Forever Fierce community in October 2017, it’s become a new tradition to find ways to celebrate women over the age of 50 in NYC. First, it was a fashion show sponsored by Chico’s at their Broadway store, then lunch at Fig and Olive last year. On Saturday, my best friend and I ventured […]
Last Saturday, my best friend, a resident budding photographer, her assistant, and I motored to The Reading Pagoda for a haunting photoshoot. Little did we know there was an infestation of an Asian bug called lanternflies. After endless swatting, I say, Reading Pagoda, you can keep your spotted lanternflies.
