Regarding Warhol: What Would Andy Say About Fashion Bloggers?

Andy Warhol (American, 1928–1987). Red Jackie, 1964.
Once upon a time, if I was at a party and Andy Warhol turned up, I knew I was in the right place. Beyond being lucky enough to be old enough (age is good for something) to have grown up with Pop Art and its exposure to appreciate Andy Warhol as the great leveler of pop culture and celebrity... those nights at Studio 54 didn't hurt either to realize either that rubbing disco elbows with someone famous is no different than the cute boy across the room. >>MORE: Museums For me, the timing of attending the preview of the Regarding Warhol: Sixty Artists, Fifty Years exhibition at The Metropolitan Museum of Art during New York Fashion Week last week raises

Age-Appropriate Casual Chic for the Silver Hair Set: How To Shop To Master An Ageless Stylish Wardrobe

An ageless look from Banana Republic
Sometimes age-appropriate casual chic can be a tough call to shop for... a FocusOnStyle reader shares how to work around it...  Thanks for the article/photos on Susan Sarandon. Any advice for a retired 60 year-old female graphic artist, (60)? I like to be somewhat trendy/edgy while still being age appropriate and doing it on a budget.

Our pretty reader I am petite, about a size 10/12 and gain weight at my waist/midriff. I don't know where to shop. Chico's is usually too glitzy for me, Jjill is

From Penelope Cruz's retro-Hollywood inspired Armani Prive gown to a parade of matronly gala dresses, you never know what to expect from the style scene at the Oscars and this year's 84th annual Academy Awards served as no exception -although a cold one indeed.

Age Appropriate Fashion- Over 40, It’s Back to classics and how to navigate trends for Spring 2012

The Urban Jungles of this world inevitably produce trends in fashion that make their way into closets across America. With fashion week upon us, I'm looking forward to the fashion parade outside of Lincoln Center. The young and restless work the stairs and promenade leading up to the tents ala Lady Gaga!  Yet, there are elements that can be lifted from the wreckage such as the vintage print scarfs that reemerged during the fall 2011 fashion week in February. Tied to a handle of a petite bag or knotted at the neck, they can be quite beautiful: think Grace Kelly.
