40-something Fashionista :: Welcome to my closet...

I've been dreaming about this bag...I know...CRAZY.  But ever since I saw it (of course I repinned twice on Pinterest)...I just had to have it.

I went to our local Zara and they didn't have it.  (Insert SAD face!)

Then while I was in Vancouver...I found the Zara there (Insert HAPPY dance!) and it was in the window.  So you see - it was just destiny!  So last Sunday morning...after brunch...I set out to Robson Street...I had to wait a few minutes because the store wasn't open yet...I felt like the lady in the meryn's commercial...open open open!  Of course as soon as I went in...I spotted it right away.  I asked the sales person ever so nicely (I didn't want to look like I was a complete crazy lady) if I could please see the sequined clutch.  She had me at first touch.  Wrap her up...she was coming with me!

So welcome home my little sequined friend...I'm happy to have you and can't wait to use you. :)

The 40-something Fashionista is GLAMOROUS

Being a 40-something...there are times when I'm wearing workout gear (the perks of having your own business)...but it's fashionable workout gear.  My gear of choice is Lululemon for those wondering.  It wears well - lifts where we need a little lift and washes well.

But we CAN get all glammed up.  So this post is dedicated to the glamour, glitz and flouncy flouncy.

Wouldn't these just be stunners for a holiday soiree?

So go and get your flouncy flouncy on...with a little Fergie {G L A M O R O U S}.



Enjoy!

The 40 Something Fashionista

I've got to admit, I enjoy fashion.  There are some darn good looking outfits out there.  However, being a 40-something, there are just some outfits that one shouldn't wear even if they are some of the cutest pieces in the world.

So what is a 40-something to do?

Here are some options that would be oh so fab!
