I have scoured websites and stores and found great puffer options for every style and budget, from Mango, Herno, Uniqlo, The North Face, Free People, Athleta and Avec Les Filles. ...

Tips for Buying and Styling Denim for Petite BA50’s

We all know how important a great fitting pair of denim is, but for many of us, the struggle to find the "perfect" pair is real. With more relaxed styles now on trend, many of us BA50's want a jean refresh, but aren't sure where to start. And when you are 5'4" or shorter like me, you may have even more difficulties finding denim that fits properly. If you are tired of buying denim online and having to return it since the style doesn't look anything like it did on the fit model, I'm here to help....

Dress Like Hollywood: Add Some Sparkle and Shine this Holiday Season

I have been seeing sequins on Hollywood stars everywhere lately. Diane Keaton, Eva Longoria, Salma Hayek and Dakota Johnson all wore sequined outfits at the LACMA Art & Film Gala last week. Adele wore a black sequin gown to her tv filming in London, and Kristen Stewart adorned a glittery silver blazer for her Tonight Show taping last week. How do us BA50's incorporate this trend into our own wardrobes this holiday season? The key is to make the look more modern and less "over the top" by pairing the stand-out piece with something less dressy like a pair of denim. ...
Zephyr Zippered Cape $118

Capes and Coats in Warm Fall Colors

Fashion stylists often say that the third piece or top layer completes every look, and I definitely agree. Adding a punch of color to your outfit in a jacket or cape in an autumnal color will add style punch and a boost in confidence as you walk out the door. This fall, we are seeing outerwear in beautiful shades of sage green, mustard yellow, copper brown alongside plaids and buffalo checks. ...

Flats that Feel Good for Fall

Now that sandal season is coming to an end for many of us BA50's who live in seasonal climates, our thoughts turn to flats and sneakers for the fall season ahead. There are so many great options whether you prefer a barely-there heel, a chunky sole, or a platform which offers a boost in height but with the comfort of a flat. Sneakers have taken center stage in footwear in 2021 and can be worn with almost all of our outfits, from sweatpants to casual skirts and dresses....
Jogger-Style Trousers $39.99

Modern Knit Outfits that are Stylish and Comfy

Many of us BA50's want to look chic and fashionable, without sacrificing comfort. We want to be able to relax and enjoy ourselves when we are socializing without feeling restricted and confined in a too-snug outfit. If you are looking for the comfort of a sweatsuit, but the polish of a more elevated outfit, one stylish and trendy solution is to wear knitwear. This season we are seeing beautiful knit dresses, skirts, trousers, and matching sets, often in relaxed, forgiving silhouettes which suit all shapes and sizes....

Essential Jean Jacket $98.50

Hip Crop Tops and Jackets Paired with Scarves will Elevate your Fall Outfits

This fall, we are seeing cropped everything, including shirts, sweaters, jackets and blazers. Some silhouettes are so cropped that they show a bare midriff, which may look great on our twenty-something aged daughters, but not on most of us BA50's. We can, however, rock many crop styles that are just a bit longer. The trick is to pair them with a pair of high waisted denim or slacks to keep everything covered. To bring your look up a notch further, pair your trendy crop jackets and tops with a colorful scarf....
