Stories Collected While Living in France
Advance Style, what an amazing blog it is. My friend Constance sent me the link, what a doll!
If you haven't seen it… you must.
Inspiring!
Now if the Blogger of Advance Style would come to Provence and interview Annie (!!!!!) because after all at 92 Annie's style personality and memory (she was a hat a maker in her earlier years) would be a crown jewel for Advance Style.
After reading Advance Style it has encouraged me to forget about my age and just wear what I want.
Oh I so agree. Since hitting 50, at last I really don’t feel the need for my style to be approved by others ( have to be careful not to embarass my kids in front of their friends though !! ). Comfortable and fun. Merry Christmas Corey and may 2012 see projects fulfilled and loved ones happy and healthy. xxxx
Oui!
Annie certainly has style. Some days I do feel like I can let it loose with the style and some days not so good. But I love that these ladies can enjoy life at their advanced age.
Oh Corey, what a great post !!!! I’m smiling so big right now. Forwarded your page today to several like minded friends.
Thanks for the gift !!!!!! EWWWWW, I’m just tickled pink!
yes
yes
isn’t it wonderful!
what i learned:
1–good health is everything!
{{ which i did already know
but tend to forget sometimes… }}
2–anti-fashion is FASHION
3–i STILL have a chance
to be a fashionista!
yippeee!
{{ that constance!
isn’t she The Best
at finding things! }}
Love the use of several bakelite bangels on the wrists and oh, my…the red bakelite horse pin on the jacket…fabulous! I’m a passionate collector of vintage bakelite pins/bracelets, so I was delighted to see them worn in the video 😉 YOU GO GIRLS!!!!
Thanks for spreading the word, Corey!
You’re a doll!

Tell Annie I thinks she is marvelous, too!
WOW! What a wonderful post! I LOVED IT!!
Annie looks wonderful! She is just beautiful! I love her beret! AND her pose!
The ladies are marvelous! Only hope I can look that great when I’m older!!!….(I’m 69 now) LOL!
The lady with the “eyelashes” looks great at 90!
Thanks for sending “Advanced Style”!
Corey,
I love the white amarylis. So lovely and so French in my mind. Recently I saw a special about decorating the White House for Christmas. Different designeers styled each room. My favorite was a designer who used all natural decorations. She made a garden in a fireplace, starting with moss her mother had sent to her and added other greenery including flower bulbs that are meant to bloom through the season. I can’t wait to try that next year. The trick will be finding moss before snowfall and then trying to keep it green. Perhaps I’ll add some wheat seeds and think of you.
Those ladies remind me of Va! 🙂
“Advanced”? That will be my new euphemism for my age — so much more elegant than “senior citizen” or “golden-ager,” or other patronizing terms. Merci!
Annie looks absolutely fabulous!
I adore the detailing on the bodice of Annie’s sweater! Did Annie (or a loved one) knit it? If so, I’d love to have the pattern!
C’est fantastique!
ANNIE’S GOT STYLE! I know how to dress, but I would love to take lessons from Annie in “style.”
Yes! Love, love, love.
Amazing video! Kudos to those ladies for their spirit and “daring do!!” Now I have something to look forward to as I get closer to my 60th year!
Even though I don’t consider myself “advanced” yet…I love Advanced Style – I find it constantly inspiring.
oy, is this what i have to look forward to? on the other hand mlle annie looks fabulous–my grandmother was a hatter, too.
What wonderful ladies,just what I needed to see ,I’m off upstairs to change right now.
Style which makes your inner beauty shine is ahead or “advanced”. And Annie’s got it_leader of the pack.
Love love love this!!
Thank you Corey.. Now I have another blog to enjoy!
Merry Christmas
Annie you are beautiful…I hope I can be like you
Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a New Year that brings much happiness and love
PS…..Constance I love the link
I think I will try to dress up today:)
How beautiful is Annie!!! Such wonderful spirit she has..I send hugs to her..
God bless that Annie – she tugs at my heart – you are so lucky to be her friend. She wears her beret like a 21 year old. I must check out that book.
Merry Christmas, Corey.
Merry Christmas to you and Yann. And to all a good night.

What fun! The lady in red and black is my college roommate’s Aunt Zelda, who used to live downstairs from me on 57th St. in NYC. She is still going strong!
Soo wonderful!
Do you know the “Red Hat Society” in the US, which comes from that poem about individuality at an old age, something like “when I am old I’ll wear purple and will spit on the sidewalk and not care about what anyone says”? The RH Society involves women of a certain age who ALL wear red hats and ALL wear purple dresses and who have fun together proclaiming their individuality (?) while ALL looking exactly alike.
I don’t think the women in this video would belong to a group where they all dress alike.
fantastic video. thank you,Corey.
What a lovely video! Maybe when I become of an advanced age I will finally have the nerve to wear what I really like. Would you mind if I also shared this video on my blog?
I love your blog and have enjoyed spending much time on it today!
Dear Corey, I stopped reading this blog, because all of these women seam to look so thin! Normal women like me would not have a chance to bee seen from these people. Your Annie looks so much more real and alive to me!
A wonderful new year for you and your family!

I have peeked in at the blog you mentioned several times. It is WAY cool! I should post a photo of my Grandma (who is 98 now) in one of her very own creations!
