Beth & The SAACA Team

After staying home for 26 years to raise my brood of three boys, it was time to figure out what came next. Can a fifty-something with a gap in her resumé re-enter the workforce? Was reinvention a foregone conclusion? Then I noticed twenty-somethings posting outfits of the day on blogs and Instagram. That’s it! So what if I have gray hair, my figure isn’t as slim as it was, and there are wrinkles splattered across my face? I love fashion too. That’s how Style at a Certain Age was born.

A decade later, SAACA reaches 6 million readers a year, 278K YouTube subscribers, and a community of women called the Grit & Glam Club who have decided their best chapters are still ahead. We cover fashion, beauty, wellness, and the full, intentional life that starts at 50 and doesn’t stop.

My aesthetic is American Classic — clean, unfussy, with something always borrowed from the boys. Ralph Lauren is my north star. The 4Bs are my uniform: blazer, button-up, blue jeans, ballet flats. And my conviction, after ten years of building this platform, is the same one I started with: style has no expiration date. Neither do you.

I’m Beth Djalali. Welcome to your next chapter.

Founder & CEO, Style at a Certain Age | Athens, Georgia | 66 years old | 5’8″ | Size 8

A born and raised Northern California girl, Kelly has spent her adult life moving to and from San Francisco. After years spent living in Alaska, St. Louis, and Tennessee; Kelly is settled with her husband and three dogs, happily staying put in Athens, Georgia.  

With a varied work history that started in the restaurant industry, Kelly graduated Magna cum Laude with a BFA in Graphic Design, and embarked on a career in advertising, eventually landing in tech marketing in Silicon Valley. In 2019, Kelly took a sharp left turn and decided to go back to her roots in the food industry. This time as a content creator and the Djalali Cooks blog was born.

Through all of these adventures, Kelly has always taken special interest in fashion. Being of petite stature, at 5 feet tall and 105 pounds, creating fresh looks with a focus on classic style can be challenging, but Kelly is excited to bring petite fashion inspiration to Style at a Certain Age.

Jennifer Duvall is a professional makeup artist with over 20+ years experience and beauty content creator out of Athens Georgia. But having a career in makeup artistry was not on her bingo card when she was pursuing a degree in fashion merchandising at the University of Georgia in 1996. Early signs though were being the resident makeup artist among her sorority sisters while at UGA, then landing freelance jobs by word of mouth while working in Atlanta as a southeast executive for Free People clothing brand.

After moving back to Athens, Jennifer started her own makeup business, JennySue Makeup, LLC, which is also her handle on all social platforms. Becoming a mom to her three children is the greatest joy of her life. Her mission with @JennySueMakeup, is to be a trusted voice by taking the confusion and intimidation out of the art of makeup for women of all ages.
