Turning fifty has never been so popular, or looked so good.
I'm 58 years old and still feel 30 something! British born and bred, I moved to Scottsdale Arizona 19 years ago where I live with my husband Brian (from Brooklyn, NY) and our wire haired fox terrier, Rigsby.
Brian loves to cook, and I love to eat. Thank goodness we both have a keen interest in healthy food, otherwise we'd be in big trouble! We strive to stay fit and healthy, both avid tennis players and make the most of this beautiful state, always keen to hike, bike, run and so much more.
I've enjoyed clothes and fashion my whole life. My Grandmother was the head tailor for one of the finest department stores in the North of England, back when they actually made the clothes in the basement of the store. As a result, my passion started (unknowingly) before I could walk! My style reflects a youthful vibe, so aside from diet and exercise, it helps keep me feeling young.
I've traveled extensively throughout my life. After leaving college, I was a coach tour guide taking British passengers to various cities in Europe. I spent many years in the hotel business in London and Dubai, this ultimately led to a career in hotel marketing and technology which is how I ended up in the United States. Then I met Brian and began the next chapter of my life filled with love, happiness, and the stresses of running our own business!
Above and Beblonde was born in November 2017 as a result of everything I feel passionate about as a woman in her midlife, mostly life in general! Specifically, making our midlife years and beyond the most stylish, most beautiful, the fittest and healthiest possible and ultimately the most fun.
My blog isn't about an outfit of the day, those can be seen on my Instagram account @aboveandbeblonde daily. My blog is a humorous and sometimes serious, collection of facts and personal thoughts on current trends in fashion, fitness, a robust review of local events and attractions, as well as a unique perspective on places to stay and travel, and it continues to grow as I do.
It's a resource for youthful women in their forties, fifties, and beyond to catch a glimpse of what another woman in her fifties looks like wearing sock booties, cut off shorts and riding a mountain bike - not all at the same time I hasten to add! And, hopefully a place that will inspire others to try things they may not otherwise have considered!
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or considerations, and thank you for visiting Above and Beblonde.
