Oh September! You are a blur for all of us Fab 40s. Vero chose such a great and very different theme for us this month: hats. The Fab 40s always post on the last Monday of the month, yet I was definitely caught by surprise with the somewhat early September date. I picked up thisContinue reading The Fab 40s in Hats
I have so much to cheer for! Really, I do!! Besides having pretty much the cutest bomber jacket ever, I have some things to bounce around the bleachers for acting like a cheerleader once again. For one, I’m walking, slowly but surely. I went back to work today–yes, it was only for two hours, butContinue reading The Fab 40s in a Bomber Jacket
Wearing all white on a boat out pulling the kids behind is an outfit I could be found in any day of the summer out at Spirit Lake. Here I’m out on the boat with the entire fam pulling them for a ski. Our mornings out here are usually spent in this manner. (In fact,Continue reading The Fab 40s in All White
You’re going to see a lot of sequins during this round of The Fab 40s. We are all wearing formal during the day. This is something I’m quite used to. Since I’m on a total sneaker/casual shoe kick, I try to figure out ways to dress up this look. In fact you can see meContinue reading The Fab 40s in Formal During the Day
Jennie from A Pocket Full of Polka Dots called boho for this month’s Fab 40s’ theme. Of course I was super excited to hear this theme because let’s face it: I’m definitely a bit bohemian in my style. I am a sucker for anything with a cultural aesthetic especially when it comes to colorful tassels,Continue reading The Fab 40s in Boho
The moment Diane from Fashion on the 4th Floor declared this month’s styling theme every one of The Fab 40s got a little nervous–including me. Pleats, that’s what we were to style. The moment I saw pleats I thought to myself: Oh! Pleats look awful on me–they just enhance my ponchy ponch. I instantly startedContinue reading The Fab 40s in Pleats
I was so excited when Sheela called this month’s Fab 40s’ theme to be embroidery. I have tons of embroidered items–any time I travel I seem to pick up one more embroidered bag. But then, when it actually came for me to style an outfit, I realized that really all I have are just that–aContinue reading The Fab 40s in Embroidery
I love to dress up! Seriously!! Getting dressed up is usually ten times better than the actual event I’m dressing for. The preplanning before any event is the best. Deciding upon just the right pair of earrings, the clutch to use, how to do my makeup, well I love everything about formal holiday wear. Yet,Continue reading The Fab 40s in Formal Holiday Wear
I might have taken the theme to far this time! Dawn Lucy chose goth for The Fab 40s theme, and I think I maybe took it to literally. I mean I even pierced my septum for this one! Just kidding. I did not, but it was fun finding a fake one to wear. Shopping forContinue reading The Fab 40s in Goth
The Fab 40s are now into their 7th month. It feels like we just styled menswear just the other day! Now when it’s each of our turns, not only do we decide the theme to style, but we also get to invite a fellow 40 something blogger. With my turn this month, I was inspiredContinue reading The Fab 40s in Fringe
This month The Fab 40s bring you their interpretation of menswear. When I saw Geneva’s, from A Pair and a Spare, DIY for an off-the-shoulder dress/top made out of a men’s shirt, I felt a thrill of excitement. Now, I do not have a sewing machine in Hong Kong (I’d like that to changw!), soContinue reading The Fab 40s in Menswear
I love leopard! So I was very, very excited to hear that The Fab 40s theme for July was leopard. Mainly, I’ll be honest, I was happy for the chance to showcase my leopard lounger from our screened in porch out at our cabin on Spirit Lake. This old bamboo patio set came with theContinue reading The Fab 40s in Leopard
