So, I have barely been back a week in my beloved Byron Bay and it's my best mate's belated 60th and her husband's 70th birthday party out in the hinterland (Janine & Trevor Smith).  Here are just a few pix of their colourful party guests, every single one of us Over 50 or Over 60 & even Over 70.  What a handsome gang all dressed up in 50s, 60s, & 70s gear for the occasion. We oldies sure know how to party…

Meanwhile, here are a few of the fashion shots we managed to get in NYC.  Not many of the Advanced Style type ladies around as it was Thanksgiving and most of them were out of town.  But I did catch up with Tziporah Salaman & my great friend from Tokyo, designer Yoppy, of Little Sunny Bite…

Latest research, from Harvard University no less, has found that fruits like blueberries, strawberries & apples and pears help with weight loss more than stone fruits, such as mangoes, because of their high anthocyanin (flavonoid)  content.  The humble blueberry is so high in anthocyanins that eating them regularly may also protect us from cancer and heart disease…

I wanted to share with you what I packed for my recent trip to New York because it would work as well for anyone going away for the Christmas break, to a similar climate, if you're travelling by train or 'plane and can't take a lot of baggage. 

Regular readers will know I am really into colour but for a capsule wardrobe for five days of smart, casual, parties, and mixed weather, nothing works better than monochrome with the odd flash of colour. I managed to get 5 different looks into a small carry on case…

My cousin, Becka, and I went to the Big Apple for five days around Thanksgiving last November. And look how we lucked out with our 2 bed, 2 bath, Airbnb apartment.  It couldn't have been in a better location or have a better view and was cheaper than a small hotel room we would have had to share…

May I introduce you to Galya Morrell.  She was one of the inspiring Well Over 50 women I met at the Age of Happiness Festival in Montenegro recently & I just had to share her journey with you.  She provided me with all these fantastic 'photos which are so very perfect for the lead up to Christmas…
