Meet Cinzia the designer of Moni Moni Handbags!
Meet handbag designer, Cinzia Moniaci of Moni Moni handbags!
Cinzia started her handbag line because she could not find a bag that fit her style.
You see, Cinzia’s first love is music and she is a singer/songwriter. You might have heard her since she wrote 2 songs and performed on the Dawson’s Creek sound track!
When going to gigs she didn’t want to be stuck carrying around a stuffy designer bag and was frustrated she could not find one that looked hip, cool and gently worn in. So she began making them for herself. After getting so many compliments and inquiries about where to buy them, Moni Moni was born.
Enter to win this beautiful, Italian Leather bag from Moni Moni!
Now her designs are on the arms of many celebrities (like Halle Berry) who swear they are their favorite “go to” bags!
Known for their luscious supple Italian leather, gorgeous designs and festive colors, these bags are functional, comfortable and unique!

Hi Glam Gals,
I have a burning question that has been on my mind the last few months. I am a 47 year-old full-time mom of two very busy boys. Both boys play baseball and living in S. Texas, it gets fairly warm quickly.
Here would be a great top to go with a simple cotton skirt or yoga pants! The oversized sunglasses make the look!
I spend a lot of time at the ballpark and my former go-to outfit of Capri sweatpants, sneakers, and a t-shirt is now a “no go to” outfit I have learned since discovering your amazing website. By the way, thank you for that little bit of advice. It has been life changing!
I am 5’10″, not a girly girl, but athletically feminine. I want to carry my Fabulous After 40 new me into the ballpark but am totally stumped. I am concerned about looking like I’m trying too hard. I tend to gravitate toward a classic look with hints of trendy. And hats are tricky since I have shorter curly hair. Can you paaaleeeeese help me figure out what to wear? I’m talking head to toe help here!
Warm weather dressing challenged,
Cheryl S.
Hi Cheryl,
My goodness, you are so adorable! We love hearing how you’ve had an “ah ha” moment when it comes to your casual look, in
that your “go to” casual outfit needed to be thought of as a “no go to” ! LOL! You raise several good questions that we would like to address:
1) Is it possible to dress casual and not look frumpy, even when you’re out in the middle of a field?
2) If so, how do you do that and not look like you’re trying too hard?

Before & After
Dear Glam Gals,
My name is Jaki Sinclair and I have lost 120 pounds (and am maintaining the loss) by changing my attitude, moving a little more and eating a little less. No fad/crash diets, pills or surgery.
I’ve been overweight since grade-school and have spent most of my life on a diet or planning out my next diet. I would love to be able to encourage other people that, like me, have struggled their entire lives to lose weight and let them know not to give up.
I’ll be turning 48 next week, have my first bicycle in 30 years and feel like I have my life back and want to share with everyone.
I’d love for you to do a health success story of me to encourage people to make healthy choices and not to give up.
I have attached a before and after photo and also a pic of me and my pup (Sassafras) on a bike ride.

I hope I hear from you! 
Jaki Sinclair
Hi Jaki,
Your story is truly one that we would love to share! You have really transformed yourself and it looks like you’re living life to the fullest with your new healthy lifestyle!
Thanks for sharing your inspirational story…many of our readers are struggling with their weight and it’s easy to think that because we have hit a “certain age” that we can’t change but you have certainly proven that change can happen, even after 40!
Keep it up!! We are so thrilled that you wrote us!
The Glam Gals
Calling all Fabulous After 40 ladies!
Do you look and feel better than you ever have? Make sure to submit YOUR story!
We just got a note from a National Women’s Magazine and they asked us to reach out to you!
Better with Age!
National Women’s Magazine is looking for real women (ages 40 to 70) who look better now than they did years ago.
Have your looks improved not because of surgery or injectables, but because you’ve realized the best is yet to come? Perhaps you’ve gotten out of a bad relationship or your children have gone off to college. Perhaps you’ve left the corporate world and finally decided to stop hiding behind caked-on makeup and helmet hair. Maybe your twin has moved away, and you’re now free to develop your own identity. In short, you’ve had a shift in your life, your priorities, or your perspective that’s now reflected in your appearance. You are now more “you” than ever before—and it shows!
If this sounds like you (or someone you know), please email your name, age, occupation, dated “then” and “now” photos, as well as a couple sentences that describe the reasons behind your transformation to abridgewater@hearst.com.
Please note: This is not a makeover story.
**Only responses from the New York City tri-state area will be considered.
Good luck and let us know if you get picked!!!

This Glam gal sure got my attention in this lovely jacket! Cheryl Warfield (age,61) is a National Sales Director for Mary Kay.
Hi there, Glam Gal, JoJami here from sunny, Sarasota, Flordia!
In case you are new to Fabulous After 40, I’m currently traveling around the country in a motorcoach (aka:Tour de Glam)
These comfy shoe "booties" are from Vera Bradly
and have been meeting so many wonderful women!
Case in point, while waiting to get my hair done at a lovely hair salon called Fresh, I sat down next to this perky, Glam Gal!
Here at Fabulous After 4o, we always say that when you are going to get your hair done always wear something that reflects your personality. You will want your hair to match your style.
So, when I noticed this gal I was so curious about why she looked so nice!
JJ: You look so nice, do you usually dress up to go to the hair salon?
Cheryl: LOL, Well, I like to look nice. I was at a meeting earlier for work.
JJ: I love your jacket, it’s so attractive! Where did you get it?
