Advanced Style – A Must See Doco – For any women afraid of ageing gracefully or disgracefully!

Ladies and Gentlemen of Style, this is a must see Doco..  If Advanced Style , the Blog, and now the Movie has not been brought to your attention until now.. Well! Here’s an Early MERRY Christmas to you!..    I have been following the blog for a few years now and waited with baited breath for the movie and now here it is…  A cacophony of colour, style, aged old wisdom and plenty of SASS.. These women from 65 to 95  have more Sass and Style in one outfit than I have in my whole wardrobe!  Inspired, relieved, excited and so many other words of confidence that the next 50 years can be so empowering, be filled with so much fun and most importantly how comfortable you can be in your growing skin! ..  Not growing Old Disgracefully, It’s growing old gracefully, stylishly and full of Sass and Glory!

I especially Love that Dita Von Teese makes an appearance and embraces her very own future…

Let me introduce the Blog – read it HERE:

Note:  My two favorites are:  Tziporah Salamon and Ilona Smithkin…

Here’s why – 1st: Illona:

Many readers have been asking about Ilona’s homemade eyelashes, which for the past 35-40 years she has handmade and applied every morning. Snipped from her natural waves, her exaggerated lashes change in tone as her color changes, and are accented with a swoosh of green shadow.
“I don’t wear anything except my eyelashes and shadow… oh, and lipstick. But I don’t wear makeup.”
I asked if living in New York after the war inspired her to use more color or to dress more vibrantly- Ilona says, “It was more about my change of lifestyle, a less strict time than living in Berlin during the 30’s and 40’s. I only wear something based on how i feel… style is in theback of my mind, but it’s based on my mood.”
“I’ve always had the same style because it’s loose, it’s my feeling of FREEDOM… I’m free and I’m open!”

Now: Tziporah Salamon

  1. I agree. Such a fabulous documentary. I left with a renewed sense of energy and confidence.
    I definitely saw a smattering of you in a couple of the ladies Mz Chrissy! LOL
