Because grandma knows best

This is to celebrate Geriatric Starlet Zelda Kaplan, 95 year old socialite, philantrophist and super cool ah ma who partied at the hottest clubs while decked out in African hats, giant glasses and all manners of matching ensembles, who died 1 day ago while sitting front row at NYFW. “So many young people are so afraid of becoming old. I would like them to know that from someone who is ninety-four years young, it is fun to be old.” Zelda, you’re an inspiration and your legacy lives on through this lovely story (http://www.luckymag.com/blogs/luckyrightnow/2012/02/Zelda-Kaplan-Nightlife-Matriarch-Dies-at-95) and this StyleLike U video (http://stylelikeu.com/closets/zelda-kaplan-2/).

This is why I’m not afraid of growing old.

So many pics to post of all the stylish little ol’ ladies spotted in Stockholm, so little time. To kick things off, is an ah-ma whose orange coat, cream dress and red sunnies are made that much more awesome by the van whizzing behind. Also, you can’t really tell, but she has on a conker of a ring and the faceted red tip on her walking stick thingamajig bascially matches her sunnies too. Plus, her sandals are totally SS11-ish. LOVE it!

It might be just me but her platnium blonde hair + unreal layering skills makes me think every Abbey Lee outfit is geriatric starlets-worthy - love it!
