I met the extraordinary artist, designer, and jeweler, Masha Archer, in San Francisco last week. Check out her incredible work HERE.

Many times when I am walking down the street I am drawn to those who aren’t afraid to express themselves in full and glorious color. Like rare exotic birds, they leave a trail of joyful and creative expression with each step that they take. Yes I could search for only the most chic and elegant of dressers, which I very much appreciate and often photograph, but how much fun would that be? Advanced Style is a place for sharing the creative expression, spirit, vitality, wisdom and freedom that come with aging.
