Angie, I was away last week and wasn't able to post my link to Vix at Inside Out Style. If no one else did, here it is, better late than never, I hope: http://www.insideoutstyleblog......-life.html

I loved it because it featured our own Vix and because she is so very thoughtful about style and her deliberations have paid off for her in a comfortable, stylish, and liveable wardrobe!

Also, in light of my own recent purchase of a patterned skirt, I like this from the Sartorialist. He seemed to catch my mood!: http://www.thesartorialist.com.....-new-york/

It's October and I am thinking pumpkins and Halloween. I like the Frankenstein and candy corn designs on these nails the best.

It might be too political for this forum, but there are some serious risks of the lung disease silicosis for the workers that produce sandblasted blue jeans. Some brands have banned the practice (Gucci, H&M and Levi's; Armani has just agreed) others are reluctant. I am trying to do the least harm with my clothing choices, so I appreciate the info.

I posted this somewhere else. I found this visual on proportion from Sal very enlightening:

I constantly struggle with button-down-shirt-gappage, so I loved this post on how to mitigate same from Corporette: http://corporette.com/2011/10/.....g-blouses/. Who knew there was such a thing as black and white safety pins? Lots of additional tips in the comments, too!

In view of the recent discussion about loving our pear shaped bodies I find that this girl from the blog Girl with Curves demonstrates how to really love your body and dress intentionally for it's shape.

In my opinion in this outfit her curves just add to the appeal of the outfit.

What I See in the Mirror is a series in The Guardian that asks well-known men and women exactly what it is they see when they look at themselves in the mirror. Very funny at times, and a real eye-opener to hear people talk about self-image and about how we often perceive ourselves quite differently than the rest of the world does.

With all the focus on animal prints, I thought this was very time sensitive for us gals over 40...

Great stuff! Thanks, ladies.

Suz, I used your first link.

Lisa, I don't think your link is correct because I can't see the painted nails. When you have a moment, could you re paste the link?

Any more?

I know it's supposed to be a season of contrasting jean silhouettes, so I was surprised that the average American consumer is still so decisively in the bootcut camp: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/fem.....denim.html

EXCELLENT! It does not surprise me one bit, Charmian. And look at what came in 2nd and 3rd. Skinnies and straightlegs are sooooooo mainstream.

I've been enjoying the pics of famous 'mature' faces that began this day
http://afemmeduncertainage.blo.....faces.html

For the next week, there were more days devoted to famous 60-something faces, and a day devoted to famous 50-something faces.

It's fun to see how they've retained their good looks & elegance while aging (and fun to wonder who's had what 'work' done ;-).

I don't think I've ever seen Françoise Hardy before (from 9/30), but she's got me hoping I'll go gray and turn out just like her!!

I am a fan of comfy yoga pants and very seldom since my YLF makeover wear them as real pants but this recent endeavour from Joe's jeans has me at a loss for words:

Comeon, Joe's : you were my first pair of premium when I finally lost most of baby weight last year and now you are making sweatpants???

Though I'm not usually a follower of the lifestyles and styles of royal families, my inner little girl is tickled pink by the "Tiara Thursday" weekly feature on The Royal Order of Sartorial Splendor. I hadn't ever given much thought to the design of a tiara or how one would style their hair and outfit around it - I suppose because that's an issue I'm sure I'll never have to encounter! - but I find the blog posts tracing the history and style of various tiaras are both fun and interesting to read.

Before I joined YLF, I had no belts at all. But now I have a little collection of them! I realize now how important they are and how they can really elevate and finish off an outfit. On the mommy board (the one that I've been recruiting new YLF members from!) one of the common questions is about how to wear belts and what kinds to get.
So I found this link that shows some interesting ways to wear belts:

I think an obi belt might have to be my next belt purchase!

I like the blog The Style Crone. Judith has a lot of style and always incorporates a hat into every outfit she wears. She also writes beautifully on how she is building up her life again after the loss of her beloved husband. http://stylecrone.com/

Tracey is owning her own beauty by showing her naked face is this blog post about self acceptance. http://fashionforward40.com/2011/owning-my-beauty/

Mine is of course Paris Fashion week, my favorite fashion week of all. What isn't a must-see?! Chanel, Valentino, Alexander McQueen, Stella McCartney, Chloe, YSL. For something not so delightful, Kayne West. Why was he there?!
