Get's the Boomer gal thinkin' WEEKEND!!!

What to Wear: Boomer Weekend

Yes the never ending quest....

For jeans that fit!

Marie Claire post some choices for those of us who laugh at the idea of being a size 4...(and introduce their plus-size stylist!)

Big Girl in a Skinny World:Ashley's picks for the best jeans for curvy girls

I welcome the addition of Ms. Ashley to Marie Claire! Hopefully we'll see more attempts to address the styling challenges of real women - not just those that can mimic size 0 models! (Now let's see some articles focused on the challenges of petite dressing as well!)

It can't be said often enough....

Tailoring should be one of the most important tools in your quest to be well dressed...

LAWHITE over at Casual Friday reminds us...

Sew What...

Talk about rockin' yellow and plaid....

Let the sisters from Sisters and Dresses show you how it's done!

So....

What's Your outfit worth?....

An interesting post from Styleite...

Cost of Your Outfit...

Now let's face it - if you're going to include what's in your handbag, your electronics alone can push the number up pass $300.00! But it's an interesting question - just what is what you wear each day worth? ;-)

If you're in New York....

This sounds like something worth checking out...

From Bag Snob

The Secrets of the Chanel Handbag

I'm not a big fan of Chanel bags - and it's not just because of the price! I just don't like handbags with chains for handles! However, I wish more of the "great" fashion houses would do this kind of exhibit. I think it would do worlds to help inform the general public on just how much work goes into the products they sell - and would help to explain why those products sell for so much.

It wouldn't make me open my purse to shell out big bucks for the bags - but at least I could grudgingly say to myself "But there's a reason they cost so much!" ;-)

Sigh....

Ah Jeans!....

Has there ever been any piece of clothing so universally loved and worn? Hard to think of one!

And yet, like the bra, women are always waging the battle of finding the perfect fitting pair.

Well Glamour mag has a few suggestions on how to find them....

The Perfect Jeans for Your Body

(And remember my 50+ sistas - whatever shape fits you best, a dark wash jean is your best bet when it comes to color!)

I'm blogging bags too over at Bag Sanity

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!

Is it Fashion Week again??? Yikes!!!!!!

I have to confess, I don't follow Fashion week as closely as I probably should.

But here's some of the places you can get your fashion fix for the Spring 2010 shows...

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week

Hey, it's their party! And you'll find a link to their YouTube channel(where I hope they'll start posting more shows and less commercials for their cars! :-/ )

Style.com Fashion Shows

Actually, this is my favorite place to check out the new offerings!


Who's bloggin' the shows?

YouLookFab

I'm lovin' Ms. Angie's coverage, because she is blogging as much about the crowds as the shows - so you really get the favor of the experience! She's twittering too - check her out at twitter:youlookfab

New York Magazine: The Cut They're twittering too at: Twitter: Cutblog

Style It

Ms. Sarah takes you to the tents and behind the scenes at Fashion Week! She's twitterin' too at Twitter: StyleIT

The Thoughtful Dresser's book is coming to the US:

I've found Ms. Linda to be a blogger well worth reading so I'm very much looking forward to reading her book.
