Senior Blogger Spotlight: Judith Boyd’s The Style Crone

on December 28, 2010

Back in November I met the wonderful Judith Boyd of The Style Crone. Like many of the people I feature on Advanced Style, Judith believes that style can be healing and that dressing up can make people feel better and lift their spirit.Make sure you check out her wonderful blog where she writes:

“Welcome to Style Crone, dedicated to the older woman, in her most creative, outrageous, authentic, powerful, adventurous, funny, and proud era. Let’s take back the word crone, to its original meaning, signifying a woman of a “certain age’ who embodies all her life’s wisdom, knowledge, experience, and love.”

Welcome to Miami

on December 25, 2010

The men in Miami aren’t afraid to wear color. This fellow was walking around talking on his cell phone when I asked if I could take his photo. He put his call aside for a moment to pose for a quick picture, shook my hand, and then went on his way.

Happy Holidays

on December 24, 2010

I am in the Caribbean with my family until New Year’s Day so I won’t be able to post as much as usual. I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Holiday and tell you that I appreciate your comments and feedback and look forward to hearing from you everyday. I have met so many inspiring people and am overjoyed by the growing appreciation for Silver Style. I hope you get to spend some quality time with some of your older relatives and have a wonderful Holiday Season!

[Drawings by Ari Seth Cohen]

I started drawing “Fancy Ladies” when I was a little kid. I would make little books and tissue paper dolls full of these stylish gals for my mom and grandma. I recently started to draw again and it seems like my style hasn’t changed much. I hope you enjoy my most recent sketches!

The Idiosyncratic Fashionistas

on December 20, 2010

I have been meaning to meet up with the Idiosyncratic Fashionistas ,Jean and Valerie. for some time now, so I was especially excited to meet them for brunch on Sunday We got to talking about how fashion should be fun and how there should be more older models representing brands. The girls told me that sometimes they’ll go places and people will ask them if they are “Ari’s Girls”. I am delighted to be associated with such wonderful and creative people.

These two fantastic ladies met about three years ago as Valerie was trying to get Jean to attend a textile show she was curating. Valerie told me, “ I can talk to anyone who is wearing a hat, because we are on the same wavelength“.
