Folk Artist Malcah Zeldis Explains How Dressing Up Healed Her Pain

Malcah Zeldis is a celebrated  folk artist with paintings in museums all over the country.She has always used painting as means of self expression, but severe hip pain left her unable to sit for long periods of time. Malcah began to discover creative inspiration in the many colorful pieces of clothing she had collected and found in thrift stores over the years. Dressing became her new form of expression and healing. Watch the video above to hear Malcah's inspiring story in her own words.(I am happy to say that Malcah is feeling much better now and has returned to creating her amazing works of art.)

Red, White, and Blue

I ran into this woman in Chelsea and asked if I could take her photo. She told me, " I am on my way to a 90th Birthday party and the Birthday boy will surely get a kick out of this!"

Linda Rodin

Last week I had the pleasure of photographing stylist turned beauty guru, Linda Rodin, outside her NYC apartment. Besides working full time on her skincare line, Rodin olio lusso, Linda has become a favorite among fashion bloggers, and is currently featured in the   J.Crew catalog. Linda believes that lots of sleep and a good diet are two of the keys to aging gracefully.

When it comes to looking older she says,"First of all it's not easy getting older. It catches up on you all of a sudden. It's definitely more interesting to let yourself go through the process than do a bunch of surgery and get addicted to a face that's not even yours. You can't chase youth. You'll just look older with a face lift."  Check out more of Linda's story and her amazing  Rodin olio lusso products HERE.

( For those of you who asked about Linda's lip color she is wearing Make Up Forever, #16 pencil, then Make Up Forever lipstick #36. Under both: Fran Wilson's green mood matcher)

If you are following me on FB page or on Twitter, you could see the photo with two different outfits, where i asked you, which one to post first, and the "white" one got more votes, so here it is! ;) Let me know what you think about this little "game", and i will do it occasionally if you like it!
Last couple days im obviously having a huge problem with my ironing skills, but who cares, i put my red lipstick on and totally forget about it! ;) New white blouse was a gift from Queen`s Wardrobe, and i was literally in love when i saw it, pleated on the back with two small pockets in the front, super light fabric, i couldn`t  ask for more! I styled it with black skinny jeans, my favorite comfy heels and little bit of gold jewelry. Put the messy braid on one side, and i was ready!
Do you like it?

Aging Gracefully At 101 Years Old

Ruth is turning 101 next month and she is looking forward to celebrating with all of her friends and family. She is a wonderful example for us all to take care of ourselves and to age gracefully. I was just looking through the September issue of Vogue and couldn't spot one photograph that revealed a line, wrinkle, or even pores on any of the model's faces. There is definitely a photoshop epidemic going on. Everyone is so concerned with aging and looking younger, but wouldn't you rather see Ruth advertising a beauty brand  than a photo-shopped 20 year old with no character or expression?

The One and Only Iris Apfel

Yesterday I had the privilege of not only having lunch with an amazing 100 year old, but breakfast with the legendary Iris Apfel as well. Iris is as busy as ever working on her handbag line, a line of jewelry for HSN, and a collaboration with eye-bobs. At 90 years old Iris is proof that keeping active is the secret to aging gracefully.

These Boots Were Made For Walking

Here are some more shots of Carol Olten in La Jolla, CA . Check out her amazing sunglasses and boots! I'm out the door to meet with our favorite 100 year old Ruth, so expect some new photos very soon.

Summer Platforms

The secret to Mary's personal style is great shoes, accessories, and attitude. For our lunch on Friday she wore matching blue  Nanette Lepore  and coordinated Sergio Rossi platforms. Everywhere we went people commented on Mary's fantastic shoes. Doesn't she look great at almost 73 years old ?!!!

When i saw maxi skirts in of the domestic stores in Antalya, i knew that couple of them will be mine for sure! Huge range of colors was a little bit challenging for me, which one to choose and how to avoid purchasing a whole row ... At the end, i picked black, electric blue and this beautiful coral shade. They are really light, made by natural fabrics and easy to match with so many clothes items ...  I styled it up with the floral shirt which i got thanks to Sheinside.com and now you can see one of the possible looks.
Share with me your thoughts! :)

Happy Monday!

In my previous post, you have seen a sneak peak of my new things, and today, i`m showing you two of them. Gorgeous coral blouse which i got thanks to the Queen`s wardrobe website, and black look a like Celine bag, thanks to the Oasap. I thought it would be a great idea to pair it with golden chains and ripped jeans, so this is what i wore last week while i was still at my grandparents house, in Pozarevac.
Tell me, what do you think?

Enjoy in Sunday!
