Advanced Style Profile of a 100 Year Old Lady

To my great surprise,I ran into Ruth just days before her 100th birthday. She had just gotten out of Pilates class on the Upper West Side, when I spotted her. She told me that she was getting ready to cruise off to Bermuda with her boyfriend in a few days. Ruth's motto is to celebrate everyday and to not look at the calendar. She likes simple and elegant clothes paired with great accessories. Ruth's best advice comes straight from an old Arden campaign which reads, " If you want to look this good when you are 40, start when you are 20." Check out the video below for more words of wisdom from this amazing 100 year old woman.

Real Vintage

Sometimes our most cherished items are ones that we have held on to throughout the years.

I told this woman that I take street style photographs and she immediately smiled and told me that her dress was probably older than I was.

It's been a few days since I last did an outfit post, I have been pretty busy and sick, I feel much better now, I decided to put on a fun outfit to bring up my spirits. I got this dress at Annex Vintage a local vintage shop here in Montreal and fell in love with the skirt of this dress. It reminds me of a funner version of a dress I saw online the other day. I really am not afraid to be bold in my everyday dress, it's about how you wear it and with the right attitude am so bored with all these nude colors and mixes of neutrals, but that's just me. I am in love with this leather jacket, its fitted, black and has amazing zipper details on the sleeves and the back. Don't you just love finding expectantly that one vintage piece you have been longing for when you least expect it? I sure do :) Well I am off to work now, have a nice day everyone!

xo!
