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!

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. My Blog: www.slimdownu.com
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?

These tall suede black boots were one of my favorite things this year~JoJami
At the end of every year, I enjoy looking back and taking note of which purchases were my favorites and which ones I got the most enjoyment out of.
Here are a few things that made the top of my list in 2011:
- Tall black suede boots made my dresses go from fall to winter!
- Needed to update my sunglasses this year, so got these Ray Bans
- Leopard pumps I wore with both my jeans, dresses and skirts
- This bold necklace can dress up a t-shirt and made it “glam”
- Textured stockings we’re a hot trend this season and inexpensive to try
- Tested this Dior mascara and loved it, was certainly worth the splurge!
- This faux fur scarf has been my new go-to piece when I run out the door
- My scent of choice, Dolce and Gabbana, The One.

Deborah sent this photo to me today and I got a good belly laugh over it!
Boy, did it hit a cord with me! So, I went and posted it up on our Facebook page and many of you commented as well!
Why is it that now that we have reached this “special” number we still feel very much the same as we did when we were 18. The only problem is that our face and body has changed and now we have to dress “age-appropriate”!
No fun… BUT WAIT!!..
Not here at Fabulous After 40! We say, “Life is too short to be frumpy!”
That might be easier said than done! Ladies have you fallen off the style track and are you confused on how to put the fun back in dressing? That is why we started Fabulous After 40 to give you style tips that will have you feeling good about yourself again! We have lots of FREE tips here, but if you want to dig a little deeper, we also have several e-books that you might be interested in reading.
Coming up in January we will be launching our newest product, a 4 week webinar to help you Tweak Your Chic™! Be on the look out for more information soon!
We have such a special community of ladies and we enjoy seeing all your photos and getting your lovely letters and emails!
Hope you will join us on our Facebook, Twitter and our You Tube channel as well!
Let’s all keep smiling and not take dressing so seriously!
We want to hear why this made you laugh or not….Please comment below!
