It was February 2011. My grandma and I were in a store in Jacksonville, Oregon. I found some glasses made out of strainers and asked her if I could take her picture, she didn’t hesitate…

Even as I hurried across the street, head down to avoid the rain, this bright white jacket and zebra print bag found their way into the corner of my eye. I doubled back and met Katherine, who is 87 years old and is still turning heads.

I attended the Whistler Film Festival opening gala Wednesday night with my husband, who worked on the opening movie Daydream Nation and there were dozens of gorgeous, fabulously dressed seniors. This woman is the aunt of Reece Thompson, one of the leads in the film. She told me she is a costume designer by trade and can always count on looking chic in her white cotton shirt.
Wayne caught my eye from across the room and when I complimented him on his look he said he’s not entirely happy with his haircut, as it used to be a huge fro. I told him his hair looks great, as is. I love his youthful look!
This sultry looking fellow refused to be photographed alone, so this lovely young woman with mile long lashes posed with him. He’s got that Neil Diamond look going for him: long scarf, silver chain and the most brilliant white teeth (and not just because of the flash).

This woman looks fit for the runway, or at least a busy Manhattan street. Check out a close up of her classy faux-fur coat and white sunglasses below. Chic.

I spotted this woman bouncing down the street, with an apparent zest for life. I think she looks so California against the shiny glass backdrop of Vancouver’s Robson Street. She told me she has just entered seniordom and is enjoying every minute of it.
A smart and playful look – peach pants, orange socks, white shoes and a black hat. You wouldn’t think they would look great together, but they do!

This would-be chic sailor was walking the seawall when I spotted him in the distance. As I took his picture a woman on a near by bench asked, “Have I seen you on TV?” I think we can all agree, with fashion like this, Angelo certainly looks famous. I adore his head to toe white, stripes and suspenders!
I absolutely love this woman’s look – casual, hip and comfortable. She could be on a stroll to the farmer’s market or going to brunch with friends (in actuality I believe she was taking her grandson for a walk). Very reminiscent of the post casual chic.
This colourful woman caught my eye on the way to the bus stop. Her orange scarf is a great accent to her gorgeous head of hair.

This is a woman with amazing style and an amazing motto: just because you are a senior, doesn’t mean you have to dress like one.
