A big change I’ve noticed as I head into my late 40’s is the loss of volume in my hair. Fortunately, shine and moisture have not been an issue because of the amazing hair products my stylist has recommended. I have been using monplatin since my early 40’s and now I’ve switched to their volumizing shampoo. Within 1 use I noticed an increase in volume!

I’m taking the guesswork out of what brands to buy if you’re looking to try something new from the Sephora sale. I’ve tested a lot of products for over 45 skin and these are the ones that everyone thanks me for recommending! The Dior Foundation is a game changer!

The reverse side of the designer inspired quilted jacket shown earlier. To be honest, this colour way doesn’t work as well for me but it’s good to have the option especially if you want to get double duty for light travel packing.

Palm Royale Dreaming ☀️
This dress belonged to my,always dressed to the nines, Bubbie (grandmother) It’s vintage late 1960’s and was custom made as at the time plus size (I think she was a size 14-16 today) was very hard to find. She picked this fabric and her sister in law sewed the dress. Being around my grandmother was like being around a movie star. She knew how to dress for her body and always got creative to ensure a dollar went as far as possible without compromising style. I’ve styled this 2 ways for my next imaginary getaway but linking similar styles to inspire you for your real one!
