When talking about my Nana one of the first things I say is that we are basically the same person, with a difference of 50 years. Spending time with her reminds me of my own creativity, intelligence, humour and beauty – because to be related to such a graceful woman must mean that I too possess at least a sliver of that grace. I am grateful everyday to have her in my life. I love you Nana.

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.

My Grandma and I were in Jacksonville, Oregon – a historic city since the late 1800s – we found a bench in the sun in front of an old bank. She’s always got one of her pairs of glasses on and always has a different pair of earrings on… easy on the lens.

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.

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!

This woman has collected over thirty purses! She explained that it is actually quite practical to have an abundance of purses because they don’t wear out from overuse and therefore you don’t need to replace them so often.  I like her logic!  Unfortunately you can’t see her cute purple hand bag here very well, but check out a close up of her broach and shades below.

The wind came as a surprise when I was taking this woman’s photograph but it makes her cropped shag look even more punk rock.  She’s totally glam!

I spotted this woman reading a paper in the sunshine.  Her headband and aviators drew me in, but I must say I’m also a huge fan of the white gloves and white earrings.

I hurried after this woman as she left the Bay, keeping her red shoelaces and hip sneakers in my sightline.   Although you can’t quite see the detail here, her Keds are playfully decorated with cartoon drawings.  She told me that she walks a lot and so practical shoes are a must.  I agree!
