Fifty and Fabulous - getting older with style!!

I turned 50 last year and it got me thinking - I have rediscovered my passion for fashion therefore my outfits are getting bolder and more contemporary.

There seems to be a trend for celebrating "older" ladies and many of them are now part of high end brand advertising campaigns.

Linda Rodin for The Row
 
 
Joan Didion for Celine
 
 
Just because you get older it shouldn't mean that you loose your sense of style on the contrary you should embrace your look and be bolder - you grow in confidence as you age, I know for a fact that I feel more comfortable in my own skin now that I am 50 than I ever did in my 20's 0r 30's.
 
 
There are some fabulous ladies out there that celebrate their age - think one of my style heroines - Vivienne Westwood, the French icon Catherine Denueve and who can't forget the The Advanced Style ladies.
 
 
 
 
Isabella Rosilini

Yesterday I did a fabulous shoot with The Girl and the Camera aka Kerry Curl creating some amazing shoots with my vintage wardrobe - very different from my usual outfit posts on here - mixing vintage with designer and high street and I had so much fun playing with fashion again.
 
This blog is going to have a bit of a make-over in the next few weeks with more of a magazine feel, more about my "vintage for everyone" campaign and a more contemporary vibe.
 
 
And I am looking forward to rocking some uber stylish fashion forward fashion celebrating the fact that I am "Fifty and Fabulous!!!"

Vintage is for everyone

Following on from last weeks post declaring my love for fashion and that vintage should be part of every wardrobe and worn every day not just playing dress up for an retro event - I thought I would share with you a recent shoot with Julia Holland that involved "real" women, all ages and shapes all rocking vintage.
