Staying Beautiful at 50

One of the most important, if not the most important, factors in looking beautiful at 50 is taking good care of oneself and one's skin long before reaching the 50th birthday. Another important factor is knowing how to make the most of one's natural assets. Staying fit and slim helps because even a few extra pounds can add an aged appearance not just to the waistline and upper arms but to the face as well.

Shielding skin from the sun and, particularly, not allowing sunburn or tanning will help keep neck-down skin looking as good as it has always looked (or very close to it). Since the face gets the most sun exposure, and since it isn't possible to completely cover the face (for most people), a sunblock (particularly around the eye area) can help preduce premature wrinkles and fine lines.

A wholesome lifestyle can pay off in a number of ways. Getting enough sleep may actually prevent premature wrinkling because the pineal gland, which works in harmony with the hypothalmus and which is associated with the biological clock, as well as other functions, alters its secretion of melatonin depending on the eyes' exposure to light. It is believed that inappropriate sleep patterns could result in the pineal gland's playing a role in aging.

According to Ori Hofmekler, author of The Warrior Diet, an excess of estrogen can occur in peri-menopausal and post-menopausal women can develop thickening bodies and resistance to fat-burning when progesterone, which balances off estrogen levels, drop. Contributing to this imbalance of estrogen can be exposure to chemicals and foods that contain xenoestrogens, which can mimick estrogen activity in the body. Estrogen replacement therapy and birth controls can also contribute to an excess of estrogen. The weight gain so common in middle-aged women is the kind of weight gain that is one of the consequences of excess estrogen, and since an increase in fat around the waist (belly fat) then results in the enlarged cells' producing yet more estrogen the cycle can continue. Learning which plants have estrogen inhibitors (flavonoids and indoles) can help. Broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, cabbage, chamomile, citrus products, bee products, onion and garlic are on Hofmekler's list of beneficial foods. Also listed among estrogen modulators are Omega 3 fatty acids found in fatty fish.

Pesticides and herbicides used on fruits and vegetables are estrogen promoters, so learning how to reduce exposure to these can help the woman who is trying to reduce estrogen levels do that.

Knowing how to keep over-50 hair healthy, wear it cut in a way that is uplifting rather than a way that is "dragging down", and knowing how to manage any graying or fading in the most flattering way are ways the over-50 woman can look her best. If she has the appropriate face for it, some little bangs can cover up a forehead line if a woman prefers. If over-50 hair is still primarily its original color but has only a few strands of gray it can sometimes look most youthful if it left un-dyed or if the few grays are "turned into blond highlights". A color boost for hair color that appears faded or ashey can make hair look more youthful. Sparkling silver hair can be beautiful when it frames certain complexions and has a good cut. Some complexions look best if even the prettiest silver hair is returned to its original color.

While deciding to dress in "Old Lady" clothes isn't for most women over 50, sometimes dressing in clothes that are appropriate for someone too much younger can actually call attention to the discrepancy between a woman's clothes and her age. Women who are both over 50 and beautiful often opt for clothes that create a classic, elegant or light and airy look in colors that brighten the face.

The right clothes and hairstyle can make the difference between a woman's looking her 50-plus years and looking in her forties - and what better way is there to look beautiful over 50 than to not look over 50?

Finally, feeling beautiful, graceful, feminine, and very much the same person as she has always been usually shows in the way a woman wears her make-up and hair, in her clothes, and in the way she moves.

Paris Fashion Week - Who are they KIDDING?

Paris - No self-respecting gal would ever need a backstage pass if she donned most of the looks in the Christian Dior spring 2009 collection so naughtily chic and suggestively racy were the clothes in the latest collection by John Galliano presented Monday, Sept. 29.

 

Just because they are famous and big names, doesn't mean we (women) will wear this stuff. What are they thinking? I know we all are, or most of us are, dreamers and want to be like the rich and famous. But honestly would you wear this stuff? I think they should be strolling down the runway wearing things that real people would wear and buy. IMHO

These are a little more like it!! Minus the hair!!

Milan Fashion Week

 

Milan Fashion Week goes relaxed in stressed times

  MILAN, Italy (AP) — There are few better weather vanes for changing times than the fashion industry, whose sensitive antennas quickly pick up on a mood and design accordingly. Just think of the Gay Nineties, the somber 1940s the happy day 1950s. A similar reflection is happening for the summer of 2009, with designers opting for relaxed styles in stressed times. Monday, the first full day of Milan Fashion Week's preview showings for the spring-summer 2009, top designers including Giorgio Armani, Missoni and Burberry preferred laid back to outlandish, with the accent on elegant but easy clothes. The summer palette also reflects the chill-out mood also seen on runways in New York, with muted shades ranging from sandy beiges and pinks, to earthy greens and browns. The Milan womenswear fashion week, a semiannual event of the best in Italian ready-to-wear, ends Friday and includes among its packed calendar of over 100 designers such top names as Prada, Gucci, Versace and Dolce & Gabbana. The fashion crowd then moves on to Paris.
