home without is a beautiful bag. Whether vintage and well worn or new and shiny, here are my picks for Advanced Style’s best bags. Which are your favorites?

“Develop Your Own Style Rather Than Going With Trends.”
Most of the women I talk to agree that confidence and a great smile are one’s best accessories. This woman looked smashing in her eye-catching red coat and matching dress, but it is her confidence that stands out more than anything.She explained that the secret to appearing fashionable is to,”Develop your own style rather than going with the trends.” Check out the video above for some more of her fashion tips.
A Stylish Mother and Daughter
I spotted this gorgeous 90 year old lady and her daughter at my hotel in Cancun. With everyone in bathing suits and shorts, it was a pleasure to see this well dressed pair. They were very excited to have their photo taken and told me that later on they’d both be in their finest for New Year’s Eve. I asked the daughter if her mother is always so fashionable and she replied,” She dresses up everyday, no matter what.” I saw them later that night and they definitely didn’t disappoint.
Vintage Kenneth Jay Lane
Bakelite bangles aren’t the only popular accessory amongst the advanced style set. The lovely women above are all fans of Kenneth Jay Lane’s elegant and inspired designs. The frogs are a personal favorite of mine — which do you like the best?
