Hello everyone!
It’s my birthday today. Despite my advancing years, I still embrace my birthday. I read once that most people feel younger than they are. That’s certainly true for me.
In the spirit of the day, I’m going to list a few nifty things that other people have said, or photographed, around the web. In other words, let’s pretend we have party bags, which we will have decorated ourselves with puffy paint, glitter, and far too many stickers. You can even choose your own color. I’m thinking navy.
Privilege[d] Party Bags For September 30th, 2011
1. The photo above is by Stephanie, at La Dolce Vita. She takes lovely photos, with more light and sky here. There’s nothing like a feeling of uplift in one’s heart.
2. For a series on beauty, and women in their later years, go to A Femme d’un Certain Age, and see the all the photos Tish has lined up, here. Turns out aging and feminism make good discussion bedfellows.
3. If you have wondered what’s been walking down the Spring/Summer 2012 runways, take a look here. Once I realized I would always opt for simple, I realized I could just read the simple+pretty reviews and not bother much with the usual rush of images.
4. Here’s someone who loves the same clothes I do. Even better, she knows when they go on sale. Take a look here, at Grechen’s Closet.
5. If you’d like to see the shoe line I’m lurking after, take a look here. Comfortable, because at my age I’ve figured out that sore feet are the devil’s work, beautiful just because.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone.

Happy Happy Birthday! Mine is Monday, and I’M OLD! I love life, but don’t like the birthday thing! Don’t like the attention especially! No cake, no gifts, just want to thank God (myself) for life! Hope you have whatever your heart’s desire is, and however you like to celebrate (or not celebrate).

You know, you are supposed to celebrate your birthday for the number of days you are in years. Hence, I will celebrate my next birthday for 48 days. Forty eight days of cake and ice cream. I recommend this approach for you, Lisa. Happy birthday!

Happy birthday Lisa and I hope you’ve had a great one.
I’m so glad you mentioned “A Femme d’un Certain Age”. It’s one of the best blogs around and has so much to offer for women of all ages with how to be chic no matter what your age. I’ve been a follower since the beginning and you can rely on Tish for the best advice on the web.
