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!

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.
Recently, Deborah and I were chatting about our favorite purchases of 2011 and how she had fallen in love with wearing a knit dress! “They are so comfortable, I have started collecting them and now have a few of them in my closet!”
So today we have another How To style video to help you take a knit dress and accessorize it up or down with just a few “tweaks”!
Here is Deborah in her favorite knit dress with some black opaque hose and simple black pumps.
Depending on the weight of the knit, you can wear them in most climates. Deborah lives in Toronto where it can get really chilly so of course they work there. I’m traveling around the US in a motorcoach and have been staying in the warm climates but have still had a chance to bring out my knit dress, especially when a cold snap hits!
JoJami dressed down her white knit dress with a long colorful sweater and casual stretch belt.
Trying to dress comfortable when we are over 40 can certainly be a challenge. We feel that this can be the answer to “How can I be comfortable, but still look updated and chic?”
Why not get that knit dress out of the back of your closet or if you don’t have one go out and try one on!
One note, you will want to wear shape wear underneath to smooth out any bumps or lumps that many of us over 40 gals have!
The Fashion Flash is Celebrating One Year of Glam!
We are always up for a celebration and this week we want to thank our wonderful team of bloggers, The Fashion Flash, for one year of successful collaboration! We even had a chance to meet up this year when Fab Over 50 hosted the Beauty Bash, an amazing event that bought together beauty and fashion experts with the mature woman in mind!
What’s the Fashion Flash? Well, every Monday we share with you the hotest topics of the week from our some of the top fashion, health and beauty bloggers.
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?
