All variety of style is represented, all colors, all ages, and voices.

Awww Bella you gorgeous woman, thank you so much!!!! I'm so, so honoured to be included in your list as I have so much admiration for your style, attitude, stamina and gutsiness:))). Isn't Vix such a hot fox? And Reva's gotta lotta love to give:) xoxo
ReplyDeleteAwesomeness. I was wondering when I would come across a better age range in fashion blogs. The more the merrier I say!
ReplyDeleteThanks for compiling this blog roll and for saying what so needs to be said! That life and being stylish doesn't stop after 40. When I started blogging I struggled to find anyone over 35 let alone over 40 so really pleased to see some of my all time favourites up there with a whole heap of new stylish ladies to check out!
ReplyDeleteBella, I'm truly honoured to be included in your list. Desiree from Pull Your Socks Up is absolutely ravishing and Reva has a heart of gold. I'm looking forward to checking out the other links.
ReplyDeleteI struggled to find women of my age when I started blogging and I love finding more of us.
Here's a couple more:

What a fantastic post! I definitely agree that style doesn't end at 40 - I love the way my mum dresses, and sometimes I think it takes time for dress sense to mature (much like good wine!)
ReplyDeleteThat first photo is wonderful - what an amazing face she has.

Well... Vix, Misfits and Helga are just beyond divine!!! Ageless really...as are all the other fabulous women
ReplyDeleteThank you for the links! Um... may I be included??? Do I qualify (in age at least if not in 'fabulosity'??) I'm over 40 now!
http://theduskzone.blogspot.com/
I feel very honored to be included on your list and I'm so excited to check out the new blogs that I didn't know about!!! You are a DEAR! The Style Crone
ReplyDeleteThis is a delightful feature. I hope I manage to get better and better so by the time I'm 40, I'm the confident, striking style blogger I want to be -- then I can really start to have fun!
ReplyDeleteI honestly don't know the age of some of my favorite bloggerss. I may "feel" that some are 40 and up, due to more mature beauty and general air of "with it"-ness, but I'm not sure enough to nominate them.
I'm so behind on reading blogs this week. My belated thank you for including me in such a lovely post!
ReplyDeleteFantastic post -- diversely styled gorgeous women, as well as a topic that really needs to be addressed. The other day I was thinking we should band together and have blog buttons saying something like "Over 40 & Fab Blogger" (needs more thought.) Perhaps it wasn't such a silly notion after all, and we should? Ageism in the fashion blogging community (let's go ahead & throw in the fashion world in general while we're on the subject) is a topic I've been trying to write about for months as I've come across it too often. I don't understand how our younger blogging sisters can be so rude about women older than themselves when they'll be that age one day too! (And should hope to look as great as these women!) Nor do I understand the mindset that doesn't allow for a woman to be stylish after *any* given age. Style is timeless and ageless and women of every age want and have a piece of it. I clock in at 51 and feel blessed not only to have lived an extraordinary life, but also to have the opportunity to share what I've learned and experienced. You've done a great job as well as inspiring me to once again try to write about the subject coherently! I'd love to be added to the list and be amongst one of the most stylish groups I've seen in awhile!
ReplyDeleteCheers!

Ideé Fixe: http://ideefixemon.blogspot.com
Thank you all for your positive words and support of older fashion bloggers.
ReplyDeleteIdee: good to meet you! I have discovered such a grand bunch of women in my search for other +40 bloggers, and I believe it is up to us to set the tone- we have a voice, we have style and we are NOT invisible.
I've added you to my blogroll and you've inspired me to start thinking about creating a network, so that we can connect even more so. Hello!
Hi! I agree 100% & would like to add that we won't put up with age-based criticism.
ReplyDeleteWe're on the same wavelength as I was going to add you to my blogroll too! (Gotta wait until morning when I can use the computer rather than my iPad.)
We inspired each other! "Network" that's what I was thinking of, thank you I can stop driving myself nuts now. Let's brainstorm, feel free to email me. I'd really like to help with the creation of some sort of network as I think it would be a fabulous way for us all to connect and show the fashion blogging community exactly what you did here!
Now it's bedtime for me, so nightie night!

I'm an over 40 blogger, and blog from the perspective of a non-teen or should that be non- wannabe a teen on vintage matters in London.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work.
You ladies are now on the blog roll! Thanks for introducing yourselves. I am so looking forward in checking out your blogs!
ReplyDeleteHello ! I'll be 42 the 27th febuary !
ReplyDeleteMy blog is "le vaisseau sélénite", and the adress is : http://selenite.weebly.com/
Goodness gracious me! I didn't know there were that many great blogging ladies out there of my 40something age. Thanks @Penny Dreadful for linking to this fun list.
ReplyDeleteLove love love and love it! Thanks again and let this list of kindred spririts grow a bit longer.
I LOVE this! What a fabulous group of ladies. So freakin' beautiful.
ReplyDeleteforgot to ad: http://superheidiz.blogspot.com/
ReplyDelete@Angeline, great to find your blog as well. Just got a new job and struggling with my work wardrobe without being corporate.
Hello again ! there is a bug in the link you made on my blog : it doesn't work because the adress is wrong, the good adress is :
ReplyDeletehttp://selenite.weebly.com/
And the name is not "selenite" but "le vaisseau sélénite"
Thanks !
Thank you for including me in this absolutely fabulous list! I feel 'powered' by it.
ReplyDeleteAlso looking forward to seeing what comes out of this.
...and could we please do something about banning the use of "still" when talking about a 40+ Womazon?
As in... "She's STILL hot" ... "I'd STILL do her" (said by a VERY repulsive, extremely popular Australian radio host about a gorgeous extremely popular Australian actor recently... etc, etc
aaaarrrggghhhh! This arrogance of youth... I don't understand... We all get older, where does this arrogance come from?
I have linked to you in my post. Also... my link is not correct either... :)

Thank you EVERYBODY for reading this, and getting to know these bloggers! Thank you to all the women who added their blog to the list! I am in awe of the tremendous and positive feedback regarding this often overlooked but growing community. There are so many new blogs for me to explore, and so many people who appreciate this list, that I'm likely to turn this blogroll into its own page. Cheers! -Bella Q

Yay! I came across this post from FBFF and thank God I did. I thought we were few and far between, but I'm going to spend some time this weekend getting to know my fellow "39-challenged" bloggers.

Wow, what a great list! I discovered this thru Already Pretty's link & am floored by such a fantastic directory. I just turned 42 last week & am happy to see more 40-something fashion bloggers out there (I've only been posting for a few months now at corpgoth.blogspot.com ;-).
ReplyDeleteSome of my favourite bloggers on that list - I would love to be added. I've been blogging for almost 3 years, and I'm 43 going on 44. I have awesome shoes. Really.
ReplyDeletesheilaephemera.blogspot.com
Well, there is me. I have just started blogging, and I would love to get some readers so that I can get some feedback on my outfits! I am 52 (so I am definitely part of the over 40 crowd :-), and trying to figure out who I am again ... I kind of lost me over the years of being a wife (happily divorced for 10 years, but not so happily single), mother of three, nerd, ex jock, and so on ... My kids are now grown, and although I am still a mom, my role has changed. I thought this might be a way to start.

Thank you so much for including me on this wonderful list -- and thanks to K-Line for suggesting my blog. I'm pleased to be in such great company -- now I'm off to explore a treasure trove of new-to-me over-40 bloggers. Yay!
ReplyDeleteBella, I just found your blog, and let me say my toes are tickled to find all these women who like me have been having fun with style for 4 decades now. I'm 45 and just started my blog 2 months ago. Needless to say I'm a total newbie. But so far I'm having a lot of fun blogging. I'd be honored to be added to the list of cool girls.
ReplyDeletePeace and light ~ Doreen
Wow,great post!! I will have to check some of these out! Thanks for sharing and congratulations on making LALM!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for compiling this list!!!
ReplyDeleteI am also a style blogger in my fourth decade, www.styleosophy.wordpress.com
This is such a great post! I've been wanting to find some other blogs written by older women. As much as I enjoy looking at 20 somethings in cute clothes it's not all that helpful when trying to put together my own outfits.
ReplyDeleteI'll be going through them one by one! Thanks so much. (And so you know, I'm 41. Eeek.)
Love,
Heather

It's beyond fabulous to know that there are so many over 40 bloggers. Please add me to the list. At 44, I'm just hitting my stride!
