Do go over to....
Style and the City and check out one of my favorite street fashion blogger Kamel's pics from fashion week - their wonderful!
Here's a taste...
Is this a great look or what? The coat, the gloves - this young woman looks fantastic in it, but an of us 50+ gals could pull this off too! Delish!
By the by, I don't just love Kamel's blog for the great pics - his commentary on his pics and his experiences taking them is upliftingly postive. You get the feeling that he doesn't just love fashion - he loves style and the people who express it in how they dress. His words are as good for the soul as his pictures are for the eye! If you haven't done so, check him out!

Make Do Style, the writer reflects on her participation in a capsule wardrobe challenge...
Day 5 of Capsule Wardrobe
I've never heard of this before but honestly it would probably be a good exercise for just about anyone! What a great way to narrow down your style (just seeing what you would pick out of your closet if you could only pick 10 items and 5 accessories to wear for a week would be illuminating!).
A shout out to The Small Fabric of My Life for the great idea!

Style Spy, the author shares her fab Mom's day outfit with us...
Brunch with Maman
She is right to be mad for that jacket - it is the bomb! It's one of those rare "stealth" tailored pieces - the tailoring is so discreetly executed that you both see it (in the fine way in which it fits) and don't see it (it does have that stiff look that tailored clothing can often suffer from)!
Ladies, if you are ever lucky enough to find a piece like it, buy it! It will serve you well for many years to come!
I also agree with the comment about BR - their game has really stepped up in the pass couple of years. If you can wear their sizes (sadly I cannot) it is a great place to get well done basics to build your wardrobe on! (And as you know, I've been loving their handbags for a couple of years now!)

Looks like I was not the only one....
Who was wowed by the outfit in this pic on The Sartorialist
On the Street....Pink & Grey, Paris
(As a reminder, here is my original post on this outfit - If ever there was a perfect outfit...)
This outfit as been discussed on many fashion blogs since it appeared - but Ms. Karen over at Of A Certain Age has been the first that I know of to use it as inspiration for an outfit of her own...
Soft Chic Copycat
I think she does a wonderful job of taking the look and translating it for herself! And I love the fact that she did it by just shopping her closet.
A great example of a couple of things:
1. How to use sites like The Sartorialist for style (not fashion!) inspiration.
2. That you've got a lot more style right in your current closet than you probably realize!
Congratulations Ms. Karen, on showing us how to take that closet to the next level!

As anyone who reads here knows....
I'm an big fan of The Sartorialist, one of the best street style pics blog out there (and the first one I started following when I first started reading fashion blogs!).
But my one issue with the blog has been that there are usually precious few pics of fashionable "women of an age". Now I know that Scott does try to get those pics - but it was just getting depressing to go to his blog and see nothing but willow thin 20 and 30 somethings.
But I was missing his pics, so I went by yesterday. Looking through the pics I was rewarded for my stop by, by a few, wonderful pics of oh so stylish women of an age!
A couple of my favs...
On the Street..... Via Bagutta, Milano
Love the bag, the outfit - and those fierce heels that really show off her great gams!
On the Street.... Certain Elegance, Milan
Elegance pretty much sums this outfit up! I love this particular style - and she pulls it off flawlessly!
