I’m always on the hunt for Advanced Style, in fact I wish I could meet amazing old ladies and gentleman all day everyday. Winters in New York can get a bit dark so it was nice to escape to the Caribbean and Florida for a few days. I met the lady above, who resides part time in New York, in Fort Lauderdale. She had on the greatest pair glasses from Frederics on Madison, one of Advanced Style favorite shops. Below is a photo of another stylish Floridian, a vintage vacation photo, and my 61 year old mom, Frances, at the beach.

I met Elaine at an art fair in Fort Lauderdale this weekend, and she told me that at 88, her job is to have fun. Elaine’s friends told me that she was wearing her “walking heels” and that she usually wears 6 or 7 inch stilettos. My mom and I are heading back to New York tomorrow where we will team up and photo hunt together. Hope everyone is having a great start to  2011.
