Advanced Style is Ari Seth Cohen’s blog-based ode to the
confidence, beauty, and fashion that can only be achieved through the
experience of a life lived glamorously. It is a collection of street
fashion unlike any seen before—focused on the over-60 set in the world’s
most stylish locales. The (mostly) ladies of Advanced Style
are enjoying their later years with grace and panache, marching to the
beat of their own drummer. These timeless images and words of wisdom
provide fashion inspiration for all ages and prove that age is nothing
but a state of mind.
Ari Seth Cohen started his blog inspired by his own grandmother’s unique personal style and his lifelong interest in the put-together fashion of vibrant seniors. Each of his subjects sparkles like a diamond after long years spent refining and perfecting their individual look and approach to life. The Advanced Style book will showcase, in luscious full-color, the best of the blog, but will also act as a true guidebook with all-new material featuring wardrobes, interviews, stories, and advice from a cadre of his most chic subjects, along with a large selection of never-before-seen photography—fresh off of sidewalk catwalks around the world! - Advanced Style @ Amazon

THIS. This is the next book I plan to add to my vastly growing
collection of fashion books (Taschen 100 Contemporary Fashion Designers
is a must have!). The book has stemmed from a blog, which I came across courtesy of my other blog obsession (www.babewalker.com) and it's safe to say I've found my next obsession...
Graphic Designer, Christine Kohler
The Countess of Glamour: Lynn Dell
Joyce Carpati
The absolutely fabulous Carola
These women inspire me more than anyone in their respective 20's - 50's. These ladies have taken years to find and perfect their own individual styles and they are nothing less than abso-fucking-lutely fabulous. Along with Advanced Style being a regular 'street-style' blog featuring the over 60 crowd, it also has some great sub-sections including The Countess of Glamour Speaks, dedicated to the fabulous Lynn Dell (pictured above).
One of my favorite sections has to be Ilona Smithkin: Wisdom From A 90 Year Old Lady who is so, so incredibly inspiring. She says some of the greatest things I've ever heard, like this:
and this....
Ilona has a more optimistic view on life than 99.9% of the people my age, including myself, that I know. I strongly suggest going and checking out all of the videos posted of Ilona on Advanced Style, as well as browsing around and seeing how creative, fabulous and lovely all the ladies featured are. Take what these women have to say to heart, they've had the time to learn and love life. I really appreciate their willingness to share their wisdom and refined (albeit sometimes eccentric) personal styles.
Check out the site, buy the book and TRUST because these women know their shit.
