Cree McCree

Cree McCree is known throughout New Orleans for her incredible costumes and her lively spirit. Not only does she design costumes for many of the annual festivals held in New Orleans, but she also organizes vintage sales throughout the city. After our shoot, Cree wanted to make sure and show me the original label from a vintage hat that she reworked into her own Cree-ation.

When I started my blog back in 2008, I noticed how there was a set of younger women who were referencing the style of fashionable older women. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, designers of The Row, are probably the most notable among these chic young ladies who effortlessly mix vintage fashions with their own brand of eccentricity, and personal style. Bravo to the Olsen's for taking one step further in the celebration of older women by casting 64-year-old Linda Rodin in their latest Look Book campaign. Check out an interview with Linda Rodin on Elle.com for more on the shoot HERE.

New Orleans

As soon as I heard that a blizzard was headed East, I packed my bags and boarded a plane to New Orleans for the weekend. I always love traveling and seeing how differently people dress and express themselves in other cities. I'll be posting shots from trip over the next few days. The women I met all seemed to wholeheartedly embrace the creative culture of New Orleans. Many of them either made their own clothes or shopped from local designers. Michele, above, told me that she was wearing a skirt by Oliver Manhatten, a local designer who is on a mission to bring bustle skirts back!

Happy New Year: Best of 2013

2013 has been such an incredible year. I never dreamed that a little blog which I started five years ago would allow me the opportunity to travel the world and meet so many amazing and inspiring people. I am truly thankful for everyone who visits  and comments regularly. Your encouragement and support are the driving force behind a growing movement and shift in how we view the aging process. Here are some of my favorite photos from 2013. Thanks so much for all of your continued support and have a happy, healthy, and safe New Year!!!!!

Jakarta Fashion Week 2014 is here!

 

Before saying hello again, first please let me do this "phuuhh phuufft" ..."swwossh swoossh" *I'm blowing out a spider web and cleaning dust from my blog. It's natural I guess, I've been neglecting this blog for a 100 years I think.  Yes now it's all clean! I'm so sorry I've been away for quite some time, my Twitter and Instagram follower probably already know the reason why. I will talk about it later in another post, special for it. As for now I'm not ready to talk about it yet. I think I was, but turn out I'm not as strong as I thought I am. 

For now, I'm here to saying hi! and bring you the news! Jakarta Fashion Week is on guys! And I proudly tell you all that I will be official style circle for JFW 2014, awesome right? So what I do is that I will write what is happening there, the show, the people and everything else! and probably I will interview one of the designers! I'm super stoked right now, so many great shows to attend. And like everyone else in town I'm so curious about Tex Saverio new collection ( Who's not? He's the one who designing Katniss Wedding dress on newest Hunger Games! ~ Like dressing up Lady Gaga isn't cool enough) And I also excited to see Toton collection, let's just say it's love at the first sight between me and his design. I have a high hope for him. Who's else? For  Mel Ahyar I believe it's going to be super glamor show, Henki Kawilarang too! I love love his retro collection and can't wait for his show pretty sure is going to be awesome. Obin! My God the maestro! I'm more than sure it's going to be super magical and ellegant! And of course I can't wait to watch all the excitement and surprise in Cleo Fashion Award, Grazia Glitz and Glam and Dewi Fashion Knight, it's going to be crazy!

Oh yes, I will be a busy bee this week, but it's a happy busy week. I will be there for most of the date, so see you there? For those who cannot attend the show, don't worry I'll be your eyes and ears there, after all that's what a style circle are for!
