Simply Too Hot!

Now, wouldn’t you say that too, looking at the pictures (below) of both Sharon Stone and Madonna?

They are both closer to hitting fifty than they’d really like to be, I’m certain. Their lithe and lean bodies look better than any woman half their age. But most of all, it’ll be hard to beat their confidence.

They look like they can do anything that they want, and unsurprisingly they are. Be it being the face of a cosmetic range (Stone) or getting on stage to dance (Madonna).

The two of them, along with a handful of others, are changing the face of age, really. And it looks like marketing gurus are strapping up for the wild ride as well.

So, what do you think is their secret?

Sense of Style

Nina Garcia, fashion director of U.S. Elle, one of the judges on the original Project Runway and the author of The Little Black Book Of Style reveals her style secrets.

She advises women that the secret to looking fabulous is not about slavishly following fashion but it is about finding your own style. Here are a few tips, published in Daily Mail, a British daily:

1. Jeans and a black dress will take you so far but accessories maketh the woman

2. Style is personal. There is no herd to follow. There are no rules. There are no seasons.

3. Style comes from within, from knowing who you are and who you want to be; not from wanting to be somebody else, or wanting to be thinner, shorter, taller, prettier.

4. Pick key items from your wardrobe and work with them; get rid of the others.

5. When you're buying something new, buy the right size.

6. Steer clear of trends. Wear what suits you and what makes you comfortable.
