Fab50Plus is now on Facebook!....

Believe it or not!

Chalk it up to my oldest nephew! (This is why it's good to have young people in your life!) I'd joined Facebook as a lark but in all honesty just didn't get it!

Then my nephew joined -- and what should I receive but an invite to join his friends!

What was an aunt to do -- but get on and get with the program! And guess what - I'm actually having great fun as my sister and my other nieces and nephews have joined as well! It really is a great way to keep in touch throughout the day!

Then I remembered that Zazzle had worked a deal with MySpace and Facebook to enable associates to feature different Zazzle designer/contributors on a MySpace or Facebook page!

As you know, periodically, I post designs I find on Zazzle that I feel fit the theme of this blog - fashion and fashionable aging! But I can't really post all the great designs I come across here - after all we're talking clothes and accessories here, not art per se!

So I figured that the Facebook page would be a great place for me to feature the Zazzle designers I think are creating great fashion and style related graphics! So I jumped in and created a Facebook for Fab50Plus!

In addition, I'm going to add any fun fashion related applications to the Fab50Plus page - so you can have some fun as well! (Check out the My Fab Bag app I've already added - it gives you virtual dollars to create a virtual handbag collection. You might be surprised what you would buy if you had the dollars to do so! I'm certainly surprising myself! ;-) )

To get there just click the link to the right - and join as a friend!

Art to go....

As I've said before, I'm a HUGE fan of what I call "accessible art" -- art you can either wear or carry with you on a day to day basis. It can lift both your spirits and the spirits of those around you who see it -- or at the very least, start some very interesting conversations!

Styledash.com of late has several examples of just such "art-to-go":


Change your wallet as often as you change your purse

I went over to this site and I gotta tell you I dig the concept! And as soon as my finances get back on solid ground I have every intention of picking up a couple (or maybe even the 4 for $50 deal!).

If you do decide to get one, treat it right -- you'll never know what the future will bring for these artists - you could be carrying around a future Picasso in your purse!

Give those white earbuds something extra

Personally, I find those ear buds to be extremely uncomfortable so I don't use mine. But if you do, here's a cute way to dress them up!

Movie billboards make a fashion statement

If you're a big time movie fan or have one in your life, these totes (they have messenger bags as well) can be a fun and practical addition to your bag wardrobe or a great gift. I really like the unusual styling of the Billboard bag - sleek but looks like it can hold quite a bit!

Plus saving a tree and keeping down the landfills? What's not to love?

And now I better get goin' - the old salt mine beckons!
