Style at Any Age
A perfect gift for the bad-a__ women in your life is Mitch McGuire’s compilation of the first 10 issues of his magazine, Refigural, which offers interviews and editorial comments from women all shapes, sizes and attitudes. The photographs are edgy and the content is as well. This Refigural
10 issue paperback is for that woman in your life who has everything but a stuffy attitude. You can find it for $24.00 at The Sunroom.

The ceramic knot necklace is a collaboration between The Sunroom and Oatmeal Shop, both in Columbus, Ohio. The smaller knot is $70 and the larger one is $80 hanging from either gold link or leather. Such a statement and no two are alike.

The most beautiful part of a woman’s body, no matter what her age or shape, is the shoulder. Couple that with the long, lean look of a jumpsuit and you have the perfect holiday party attire. The Wai Ming jumpsuit (415.00) has the slightest shimmery thread running throughout for just a hint of sparkle. Calleen Cordero shoes (675.00) and Item m6 earrings (75.00) complete the package with the Thread Bangles ($88, $620 featured on Starting Over at Sixty yesterday. The jumpsuit fits my beautiful friend Cindy (yes she is in the sixty and over gang) like a glove, right?.

I know I know…old ladies often wear the same makeup styles and colors for their whole lives. Well, not this old lady! I do have my favorite makeup products, but I try new makeup and new makeup trends all the time. Some work and some don’t. When I am trying something new, I look in the mirror before I go out the door I say to myself, “WWKS,” which is, “What would Kevyn say.” Kevyn is my daughter, and believe me when I tell you, she cuts me no slack: all she has to do is give me the stink eye and it is back to the drawing board.
And, while I love trying new trends, there are some must haves that I swear by. This one is probably my longest running go-to makeup product: Wet-n-Wild Lip Pencil #666.
I found it years ago when I read in a magazine that some Super Model used it all the time, and I was sure that if I used it, I would become a Super Model, too. I went to Walgreen’s and bought it for $.99. Since that time I have used lots of other lip pencils, but always go back to 666 (pretend it’s 999 if that number makes you nervous).
It is a wine color with a little bit of brown mixed in. I am wearing it in my head shot on the cover page of the website. It works for everyone. I recently heard a makeup artist refer to it again, and that is probably 20 years later!
I use it on my whole lip, then use a lip balm or Chapstick over it. And, now I mostly use it by itself as a matte lipstick. How trendy am I?
The crazy old lady in me comes out whenever I am in the CVS or Walgreen’s, and I buy all of them in stock, because I am afraid they will discontinue the color and then what would I do! I probably have dozens tucked away in my bathroom.
Sadly, that lip pencil did not make me a Super Model…good thing they are so affordable for us mere mortals.
