ROSEBUD OF THE WEEK: Precious Patti

This lovely rosebud really lights up a room when she's in it. Even on the interwebs, this incandescent spirit blazes up the place with her thoughtful posts, kind comments and absolute support for her circle of +40 pals. Of which I feel incredibly fortunate to be a part.

Her blog brings the party to +40s, because I can't imagine not joining in for her popular VISIBLE MONDAY blog link-ups. Her style is an easy going, slightly edgy city chic, and she inspires not just in the semingly effortless way she can put together an ensemble, but for her cheery warmth, kindness and dazzling smile.

MONDAY MUSES: A Lifelong Beauty

The best kind of beauty is the kind that enthuses effortlessly over a lifetime, becoming less and less about vain definitions, and more about your connection with others. There is no better sort of beauty cultivation: this annual push towards your authentic and truest self, a life long pursuit of wisdom, joy and to be of help to others.

MONDAY MUSES: Vivienne Westwood says "Buy Less"

If there ever was a patron saint for shopping #SECONDHANDFIRST this firecracker of a beauty is it. Not one to rest on her already extensive laurels, Dame Viv explains her ethos in this recent interview, proving that beauty, brain and brilliance isn't any less diminished for women still kicking it in their seventies. 

ROSEBUD OF THE WEEK: Ana B

This isn't the first time, the lovely Ana B, aka Mrs. American Made has been mentioned; oh, we may have name dropped her a few times, like here and here.

Smart, savvy and stylish, Ana is a +40 blogger, mother, wife, and entrepreneur who advocates American businesses who manufacture in the USA. It was her shopping ethos that inspired Ana to start her fashion blog, showcasing, you guessed it, clothing made in the good ol' US of A.  Ana has been inspiring others to follow suit ever since.

Queen Anne's Lace

Queen Anne's Lace

Her body is not so white as

anemony petals nor so smooth—nor

so remote a thing. It is a field

of the wild carrot taking 

the field by force; the grass

does not raise above it.
