Another New Years Eve, another “What am I going to wear?”
After 40, that’s an even harder question to answer because what once worked
before, mysteriously doesn’t seem appropriate any more. If you’re
fretting about what to wear so you don’t look too young, too old, but
just right then here are:
5 Do’s and Dont’s to Look like a Boomer Babe on New Year’s Eve!
1. Do Stick to Sophisticated Colors
As much as we love color, bright evening wear can be hard too pull off after 40. Against mature skin it can look loud, harsh and frankly, not chic. One suggestion is to stick to neutrals like soft black, navy, brown, gold or taupe. You can never go wrong with these classic colors as they are a beautiful canvas against which to show off your face, skin and hair. Neutrals are also work as a fabulous backdrop to splashes of color, so if you want to add a bright evening clutch, necklace, pashmina or pair of shoes then goes right ahead!
If you are really tired of neutrals, an all over color is still an option but keep it toned down.
The color you choose should blend in with your skin tone, rather than scream I’ve arrived. When you walk in a room people should notice you not your bold, bright dress. Rich Jewel tones like royal purple, ruby red, and emerald green are hot this season and are a great choice because they are always regal. One caution though- Stick to one solid color for a more elegant look and accent with neutrals only. Bags, shoes and jeweler should be in black, gold and or silver.
2. Don’t Over Dazzle Them
Yes, it’s New Year’s but too much flash will make you look like a hardened Las Vegas Showgirl. Glitz is great, but go sparingly on the sequins and sparkle. Touches here and there are more tasteful than head to toe. Same with jewelry-put them emphasis on a stunning necklace, a great pair of earrings, a wonderful cocktail ring or fabulous bracelet but don’t all of these pieces all together or you’ll look like an overdecorated Christmas tree.
3. Do keep it Clean and Simple
When it comes to the style of dress that works best for Women over 40- here’s the simple truth. Frilly, Fussy, Busy, is old. Clean, simple, more tailored is modern. Be sure to stay away from dresses with too many busy details, complicated patterns, and crazy hemlines and necklines that are just there for shock value. Steer clear of cheap trendy fabrics and avoid dresses with too much “stuff “hanging off them, as if they are made for gypsy fortune tellers. Do keep it clean and simple. You only need one major beautiful focal point like a gorgeous slit up the side or a fabulous jeweled collar neckline. Less is always more.
4. Don’t Overdo Your Hair and Make-up
Just because New Year’s is the BIG event of the Year doesn’t mean the message here is to have BIG hair. On the contrary, big, puffy, sprayed hair that doesn’t move is dated. (We know you know that, but another shot of hairspray is so tempting isn’t it) Same for make-up. This is not a costume party. Don’t automatically apply your make-up any heavier than you would normally do any other night out on the town. But a smokey eyeliner and false lashes will give you that extra party punch you are looking for.
5. Do make sure you look Sexy
If you think the definition of sexy is spaghetti straps, deep necklines, short skirts and showing off showing off as much skin as you can, then think again. Over 40 sexy can be as simple as body skimming clothes that show off your silhouette, and not necessarily your skin. If you want to take it a step further then, find your own hot spot and play it up. Great legs? splurge on a decadent pair of high heels. Beautiful bust? Don’t hide it. Make sure to find a top or dress with a tasteful V neckline and wear a great plumping bra to make sure you are looking perky! As the costume designer, Rosemary Ponzo says, “ Buy the right dress and the party will come!”
We confess, we love to watch America’s Top Model. Its so fun to see the girls in the glamorous and not so glamorous settings, and how they can be transformed from a gauntly teen to a sultry vamp with some great hair, makeup and wardrobe. What is it about Tyra Banks’ reality show that has us all fascinated about the inside scoop of the modeling world?
There is a good chance that you know someone who either wants to be a model or wants their kids to model…but where do you go to get advice on the how, what and where of it all?
Meet Judy Goss, former Ford model/agent and author of the soon to be released book
, How to Break into Modeling for Under $20.00.
Judy Gross, model and author
Judy has worked in and around the fashion industry for over 20 years, and was surprised when so many people when learning of her past, always had so many questions about how to get into modeling. Moreover, Gross was shocked and disappointed to hear many horror stories of people getting ripped off by so called “agents” and “photographers” who made false claims and took their money with no results. This, and her love to help others, inspired her to write a book that would bust the all the myths out there about how to get into modeling.
“It’s really not that hard to get into modeling, no matter what your age or size. What most people don’t realize is that you don’t need to spend money on pictures or classes to get representation with a modeling agency. The agents actually prefer people NOT to spend money!”
This passionate mom of twin two year old girls, is committed to her mission to educate the public about getting into modeling that she also has a blog called, Modeling Advice: From Breaking In to Staying In , where she answers questions and give tips to those interested in modeling as well as parents of model wanabe’s … and best of all, its FREE!!
So all you gorgeous fashionistas out there, check it out before you shell out any money and find out if you might have a new career out there ahead of you! (BTW…there is even a section for modeling if your over 40!)
Judy is currently the booking and casting editor of More Magazine. Be on the look out for her book to come out in the summer of ‘08, and our upcoming teleseminar with her!
JoJami-Was in the drug store the other day and saw a big display of a new “dry” nail polish, that you just peel and stick on. I thought, now that sounds too good to be true, but thought what the heck and grabbed a package.
Dry Nail Applique
It’s called Incoco, Dry Nail Applique. Available at your local Walgreen ($5.99)
I took it home and it sat on my counter for a few weeks, since I was hesitate to have to figure it out how to put the darn things on. However, last night I had a dinner to go to and didn’t want to fight the crowds to get a manicure, so I sat down with the package and dove in.
To me, it was like coloring your hair for the first time, with one of those home coloring kits. You read all the directions 10 times and then just do it. To make it easier, you can view the virtual demonstration here, but I didn’t bother.
I used the color “French Manicure” which, isn’t really a french manicure at all since the white part is not there, but just a very light pink color that goes on solid.
I found them relatively easy to apply (you literally just peel and stick the color on) and the result was really fantastic! It really does go on dry and so you can’t mess them up afterward.
They claim that they last up to 2 weeks, so I have a another 12 days to go for the final results. But I’m definitely impressed so far!
Its about time, somebody came up with a better way to paint your nails!
1. A Sexy Bra
Granted, after 40 your breasts are typically heading south, but that doesn’t mean you should cover them up with a boring, stretched out beige bra up and forget about them. The quickest way to feel good about your changing boomer body is to Perk up your girls with a gorgeous, sexy new bra. Splurge on something a little more feminine and pretty. We are seeing some gorgeous options out there like two toned bras in ice cream colors of lime sorbet and lemon ice, rich chocolates and strawberry pinks! Or for the holidays go bold with jewel tones of ruby, amethyst or emerald. How fun to run around all day knowing that underneath it all is a sexy woman!
2. A Cape
The trick to looking fabulous after 40 is not to try and look young, but to look modern. A cape is a great way to do that. Fashionable and fresh, a cape is a sophisticated way to show you’ve still got flair! Not only that, but they are really comfortable, since they are not as restrictive as a coat and warmer than a pashmina. It’s the newest look in stepping out in style! Go for a grey or deep chocolate color for a versatile look that can go day into evening. If you go off to a black tie affair, of course a black velvet one can be quiet gorgeous and very formal.
3. Sleek High Heeled Boots
A simple formula to look boomer chic is to stick to simple classic looks, (a crisp shirt, flat front pants and fitted cropped jacket, for example) and put the emphasis on the accessories. One of the most important details this season is boots. Finding a wow pair to personalize your look is key. Nothing can date you faster than an out of style, worn our pair.
Opt for a boot that is finer in style to ooze sophistication. Not too round or square toe and keep the heel thinner or go for a wedge. Too clunky is funky and better left to the younger crowd! If you’re looking for comfort and style, try some of Cole Haans new boots that have Nike air cushions in the toe. As we age, our feet get drier and the pad on the bottom of the foot can become tender after walking all day. This pair allows you to have fun in heels and still feel comfortable.
4. Smart Handbag
Enough of teensy weensy bags that barely hold your lipstick and ridiculously oversized purses that let you lug around everything you own and make you look like a bag lady. For Grown-Up gals it’s time for something stylish but smart. There’s a whole new line of luxury bags out there that look gorgeous but also keep you organized. We think the Butler Bag is a great choice because it is fashionable on the outside, but the inside stays absolutely organized!! The new exotic fall colors in spicy ginger and olive martini are just the thing to add some zing into your wardrobe!
5. Gorgeous Gloves
If your coat is neutral and you want to jazz things up, try a new pair of fresh gloves. Snakeskin and extra long leather is all the rage this season. Bold colors and exotic skins are easy to pull off, especially if you’re only wearing them until you step inside. Look for soft supple leathers that aren’t too bulky. Sure you have the ones you walk the dog with but for going out change them out. Don’t go for the practical black or brown ones; find something that sings your personality. Dare to be wild. You will have fun soaking in all the compliments!
Oh the lengths we boomers go to to look and feel fabulous. You have to laugh about it sometimes!
Check out this hilarious video (posted by Your Drum) that is set to the song “Born to be Wild” and had us in stitches. You’ll find it at the Blogging Boomer’s Carnival #50, being hosted this week by Gen Plus.
Now that it’s cold, it’s tempting to pull out the old flannel nightie and robe. Remember our motto, “Life is too short to be Frumpy!”
Well, if your robe looks like this one, we think its time to try something new!
Maybe your kids gave you one like this for Christmas last year, because they know how much you love cats?
Yes, Little Kitty is too young! Deb’s little ones surprised her with last Christmas with some wild yellow flannel penguin p.j.’s. (o.k., sometimes you do have to sacrifice style for love)
Want some fashionable ways to to perk up those dreary cold nights?
Why not try this elegant, sleek on the outside and comfy (with the flannel on the inside) robe by Fernando Sanchez from Neiman Marcus)
Or, how about a Luxurious holiday robe, in festive red!
Finally, this kimono robe from Nancy Koltes at Home is exotic and unique.
So, take the Glam Gal challenge. Get rid of your old boring cover up and find a stylish new robe to cozy up in!
If you’re planning on asking Santa for a little bling bling this Christmas then make sure your wish list is up to date with the latest jewelry trends. After chatting with our friend and jewelry expert, Alan Sklut of Diamond Empress for tips and trends we bring you….
What’s hot in fine jewelry this year:
1. Sprinkles of Sparkle
Jewelry designs this season are more subtle than before emphasizing the metal more than the diamond. Many pieces like this Cono Harmony Open Pendant by Dana David are lightly sprinkled with diamonds, rather than encrusted. Also, burnished stones offer an elegant sparkle that is also softer looking and easier to wear. This new change is a welcome relief to the more-is-more mentality of past seasons that some found overbearing.
2. Odd and Unusual Rocks
Rough, oversize, or irregular shaped stones create one of a kind looks. This stunning diamond ring with (one of a kind stone) by Diamond in the Rough is a perfect statement piece for any woman 40+ who wants to look stylish and chic. You’ll also find unusually shaped rocks popping up in necklaces this season- another great option, especially set against an elegant little black dress.
3. High Styles for Hearts
Hearts are always in fashion and the latest styles are nothing less than dramatic. Look for embellished initial lockets, interlocking open heart designs in larger sizes and colorful mother of pearl charms dangling from larger open loop chain necklaces and bracelets. Love this sleek Judith Ripka Fontaine Heart Enhancer that blends old world sophistication with cool modern lines of the new world.
4. Red and its related hues are the ‘Hot’ color
If you love Jennifer Lopez’s big pink diamond, it’s time to get one for yourself. Pink Diamonds, Rich pinky red Rubellite (red tourmaline), grapey amethyst and soft pink tourmaline, are the recent favorites of many jewelry designers. Feminine and soft, who could resist this Platinum and 18 k pink and white diamond gold ring by Diva Jewelry?
5. Metal Magic
This season designers are playing with metals and creating surfaces that rival luxury fabrics in their sensory appeal. You might want to consider a bracelet with silky satin sandblasting, or a piece with an antique Raku pottery broken metal look. This exotic hammered and hand formed 22 karat gold gothic and Byzantine inspired cuff by Arman wreaks luxury.

Hi there, JoJami here!
I promised that I would keep you all updated on my journey through the laser hair removal ordeal~
Well, I’m happy to report, that I have now had 2 sessions, with 4 more to go, and so far so good. It’s amazing that I have already seen results of less hair growth and the skin area that has been treated, is much smoother than its ever been! (in case you haven’t heard, I am having my underarms and bikini area done)
After checking in this week, to have my session, I mentioned to Bridgette, my technician, that I was writing about this. She checked it out, and said that I had gotten the part wrong about the pain free, not being able to do the upper lip. SO, please note that you CAN have the upper lip done with the pain free laser! OH! how great is that!
Please comment, if you have had laser hair removal or have questions!
More NYC finds!
While at Saks, in the makeup department, could not help but stop and take a look at a new eye cream called, Freeze 24/7.
(didn’t hurt, the rep was a cute guy, waving us down!)
Anyway…I digress…
So what is this, new cream??? He said, give me your hand. He turned it over to reveal my line strewn palm. He slathered some cream on, and Wow! the lines plumped up and disappeared.
Then he grabbed my girlfriend, and put some on her eyes,(you know, where the crows feet are).
I snapped this before and after. (yes, this is just my little camera snapping a photo!)
 Before |
 After - with a visible difference! |
The difference was visible. (Click to enlarge the pictures so you can see!)
So, I don’t know anything about how long it lasts..probably for a day, like the name says.
Personally, did not buy any, but just thought it was very cool and thought I pass it along to all of you!
If anyone has tried it, write us a note under comments! Thanks~
Freeze 24-7 Miracle Kit
Available at Saks.

Could the perfect diet really include red wine and chocolate?
Quite possibly,according to researchers in the Netherlands and Melbourne.

This week it is being hosted by The Boomer Chronicles.
The little black dress… It’s a girl’s best friend! Loyal and true it comes to the rescue when you’re not sure what to wear. Always right, this classic wardrobe staple, makes you look instantly chic and never goes out of style.
If you don’t own one or feel fabulous in the one you’ve been wearing, then it’s time to buy a new one. Here are:
7 Top Tips for How to Buy and Wear the Perfect Little Black Dress
1. Look for a Dress with a Touch of Sizzle
The beauty of the ‘Little Black Dress’ lies in its simplicity; so make sure the one you choose has clean lines, not a lot of fussiness and frou frou. Do, be sure however, that your dress has a touch of sexiness, like elegant slit up the side, a deep V back, a lacy hemline or some sheer netting across the bust or arms for example. Details like buttons, sashes, cuffs, etc done in touches of velvets, silk tulle and other sumptuous fabrics will create a very rich look.
For example, this Anne Klein black silk dress is flattering to most women. Reminiscent of bygone Hollywood, it has a wonderful deep V-neck halter top and a tied waist with a long silk sash. The skirt is softly pleated and falls just below the knee. This dress can hide a woman’s flaws while subtly enhancing the female form.
2. Make Sure it Fits you Like a Glove
Fit is key to looking like a million in your little black dress. Don’t try to squeeze into a tight dress thinking it will make you look thinner. It will only make you look bigger. Throw away size tags and buy a dress that skims the body without pulling. A lined dress will smooth your figure and Spanx helps give you that sleek look too!
We think this dress hits the mark to show off a woman’s curves without being too sexy. It has a v neck which flatters the neckline and chest area with a cinched waist and softly pleated skirt. It flatters the pear shape body very nicely and with its longer length–hitting just slightly below the knee, most women can wear this dress beautifully!
3. Be Sure the Dress Plays up Your Best Features
For many of us 40+ teensy spaghetti straps and strapless dresses are not flattering. They highlight that midlife flabby flesh we often carry on our arms and underarms. Take a look at your best features and decide what else might work for you. V-necks flatter most body types, but if you have a really long neck, a rounded neckline will look good too. If it’s your legs that still look great, you can go a tad shorter on the skirt. If it’s your waist that‘s still looking wonderful, show that up with a great accent there like a ribbon tie or belt. Wherever you want the eye to go is where you want the detail to be!
For example, this simple, classic, black dress is a good one if your best features are well defined arms or a tiny waist. We love the capped sleeves and cinched waist. Moreover, the length hits just below the knee, which is a flattering stopping point for most figures.
4. Don’t Over-accessorize
Since a little black dress is like a blank canvas you can change the feel this way or by the way you accessorize. But be very careful to not over do it or you’ll detract from the look. The days of matching earrings and necklaces are over. It is much better to just wear a pair of great earrings with a smashing up-do, or a single item like a beautiful pin. Satin gloves with pearls will give you that timeless Audrey Hepburn look.
If you choose a lace dress like this, you won’t need to add much jewelry. There is a lot going on with this dress, so you would want to keep it simple with just earrings and perhaps a single bracelet.
5. Update your dress with Shoes
Shoes are the easiest way to update your dress and a great way to show off your personality. If you want to stray from the classically elegant black pump, try bright red heels, or leopard or metallic beauties.
TIP: Ankle straps on a shoe are not for everyone. Depending on your size, they can cut off your leg and make you look shorter. This woman is able to pull off the ankle strap, since she is tall with slim legs and ankles. (By the way, we like this dress too, since it is flattering on most body types and the fabric drapes nicely to make it comfortable to wear.)
6. Wear the Right Hose
Choose either a nude or black hose- ultrasheer to be sure! Fishnet stockings are a great way to add some glamour. You can go hoseless in the summertime if your legs still look good, and if you wear a self tanner. And, if you choose to wear sandals definitely go for the bare look! P.S. The right shade of “nude,” is one shade darker than your natural color. Avoid buying your hose that are dramatically too light or too dark. It should look as though you don’t have any hose on.
7. Top it Off with the Right Handbag
Yes, there is a right one! It’s this season’s favourite ~ a slim little clutch to tuck under your arm while you are sipping on your favourite cocktail. Your bag should not match your shoes exactly, but should have the same feel. Black always works and patent leather is in right now, but what’s even better, especially this season is a dazzling jewel toned clutch… a great way to give your little black dress a little oomph!.

On a recent trip to the local Home Show, there was a booth with some very perky ladies touting the wonders of permanent hair removal.
I (JoJami) had eyed all those ads and dismissed them thinking, Oh, I don’t need that. But recently I started doing Yoga at 6:00 a.m. and found that even though most of us are sleep-walking through the exercises, I wasn’t happy with my underarms not being as clean shaven as I would like…not to mention, the bikini area… (Oh my gosh, I hate it when I have to shave that area!)
So, I decided to look into the process and be the first of all my girlfriends to try it.
According to Bridget at Brandywine Skin and Laser Centre, cutting edge hair removal salons use a top of the line machine called a Diode Laser which has two types of hair removal settings: Standard, and the newer Pain Free. It’s an upgrade from the old machines that had just the standard setting. After asking around, I found out that one of my friends had the standard hair removal before Pain Free had come on the scene and said, “It hurt like hell”.
So I definitely wanted to go with the new machine. I just got back from my first treatment. Bridget was super quick. I had and I had both areas done and was out of there in a jiffy. There was definitely no pain involved (in fact, it even tickled) and I’m already seeing that there’s less hair I have to shave. So why would they even make the new laser with the the standard removal setting option? Apparently, there are some places, like the spot above your lips, where the pain free one won’t work- Ouch!
I will keep you posted on the results of future treatments and if it is really permanent.
Those of us that wear a size 12 or up, can really find dressing chic and hip a challenge.

Do you have a nightly ritual, when going to bed at night?
One of mine (JoJami) is slathering yummy rich creams on my face, hands and feet before jumping into the covers!
With the dry winter air you can quickly start feeling like a dried up prune, so here are our favorites to keep your skin plump and youthful!
Shea butter is known for its moisturizing effects, but can get a bit greasy. This version is very smooth with out the oil slick. It’s not heavily scented which makes it perfect to use anytime.
If you’re not using a night cream on your eyes, your skin is missing out! This one is a good one. It really will does help with fine lines and puffiness.
The older I get the dryer my feet get. That’s why I love this lavender foot cream that whisks you off in your dreams to Provence! I pile it on just before bed, then throw on a pair of workout socks (to heat up my feet and infuse the cream into my rough skin) and awake in the morning with smooth soft tootsies. Sweet Dreams!
If you have a favorite ritual, please write and share it with us! info@fabulousafter40.com

Are you gearing up for the holiday parties? Are you starting to think about what you are going to wear?
In last week’s newsletter, about the importance of the “little black dress”, we mentioned that accessories are one way to show off your individuality. But buying the latest it bag can be expensive, and not to mention wasteful, if your only going to use it for a party or two.
So why not just rent one? There is a great site out there called Bag, Borrow or Steal. www.bagborroworsteal.com
Here you can have fun fantasizing what it would feel like to carry something a little more wild, or expensive than you’re used too!
How would you like it if you could just get on-line and for between $60 to $120.00 , you can have a genuine Channel clutch in your mailbox a few days latter!
They even have a section that shows what the stars are carrying and then you can search to see if they have one for you to borrow!
For example, here is Terri Hatcher with a pretty little purse from Moschino. Yes, it’s for rent too!
They also have expanded their site to include jewelry as well, but we think they do purses the best!
We think, why fake it, when you can have the real thing.
