Even though it is something like 6 bajillion frizz-inducing degrees outside, I am all about fall right now. After all, fall fashion is my favorite (isn’t it everyone’s?) and I’m so looking forward to slipping into a cardigan or two when the temps plunge below 75 degrees. Unfortunately, the only windows of time I get […]
How To Shop Online Consignment Stores | Ageless Style #15
I used to have all the time in the world. Back in my magazine editor days, I would spend hours, and I mean HOURS, sifting through the racks at Filene’s Basement (right around the corner from my Tremont Street apartment in Boston) or Century 21 (my favorite location was right across the street from the […]
What to Buy at Your Favorite Stores for Fall 2021
I don’t have to tell you that I love to shop. I mean, I think we’ve known each other long enough that you’ve gathered that by now. (And if not, and you’re new here, welcome!) Shopping truly is my cardio, even though it’s a really bad form of cardio these days since time and circumstances […]
Your Styling Questions Answered | Ageless Style #14
When my 13-year-old, Eva, was a toddler, she had a LOT of questions. A LOT.

What To Do If You Hate To Shop
I like to think of myself as an understanding person. I can empathize. Relate. And I’m a pretty good listener. All of that goes out the window when someone says that they hate to shop. I just don’t get it. Shopping is my love language. I know it’s technically not one of the 5 love […]
The Only Accessories You Need
I know this is a tall order, but it’s not too tall for me. I may be short in stature, but I’m tall on style. You know what I mean. I’m not afraid to tackle the hard-hitting style subjects, like why you keep buying the wrong clothes or the pants that have the potential to […]
How to Wear Black Over 40 | Ageless Style 12
Ah, black. It is the color of elegance, to many women. And you can’t have an LBD without it. (Little brown dress does not have the same ring, I’m afraid.) Still, this perennially popular and eternally elegant color isn’t without its drawbacks and its downfalls. Especially for the Softies among us. And I’m not talking […]
How to Tell If Your Clothes Are Good Quality
Quality and the lack of it are hot topics in style right now, and that’s because of fast fashion. And while fast fashion gets a bad rap (and there are some really valid concerns surrounding it), I’m going to start this whole topic off with an opinion that might seem a little controversial. And here […]
High/Low Basics: Best Basics At Any Price
A few years ago the word basic was getting a bad rap. I think Kate Moss started using the term to describe everyday women in everyday outfits, and it stuck. Basic meant boring, and it was more than a little mean, in my opinion. After all, what’s the matter with basic? I use this term […]
