Happy 10th Birthday, Oscar!
Happy Friday, Ladies! Today is Oscar’s 10th Birthday! Oscar has shared the blog stage with me on Fridays since the very beginning of Style at a Certain Age. You all have seen him grow up over the years, and to celebrate his tenth birthday, today’s Fridays with Oscar is all about our good ol’ boy Oscar! So sit back and travel through the archives with me as we look back at 10 years of Fridays with Oscar.
TL;DR
Today, we celebrate Oscar's 10th Birthday - Happy Birthday, Oscar!
We also celebrate 10 years of Fridays with Oscar on the blog
Happy Birthday, Oscar!
Fridays with Oscar
2014 - Oscar’s first appearance on the blog!
Oscar started life as a rescue pup after his mother suddenly died. Christmas 2014, he was looking for a human who would give him a home and some love. Good thing as Mr. Style and I were looking for a pup after our beloved English bulldog’s heart gave out
2015
Oscar grew by leaps and bounds week after week. Month after month. Mr. Style kept snapping photos; readers looked forward to Friday and I loved having Oscar by my side.
November 2016 - This was the beginning of a regular Fridays with Oscar blog post. It was so new that back then, we didn’t even have recipes!
In 2017, we brought Ollie home and she and Oscar became thick as thieves.
September 2018 - Oscar enjoying his weekly gig on Fridays with Oscar!
By March of 2019, Oscar’s day in the spotlight evolved to include a cocktail and recipe. Fridays with Oscar has become the perfect way to end the week and kick off a casual weekend. We dish up easy recipes, a delicious cocktail, and casual weekend outfits.

July 2020 - Our pandemic summer saw us all spending most of our time at home. This suited Oscar and Ollie just fine though – they loved having me home every day!

September 2021 - The years march on and by 2021, Oscar’s grey muzzle had given him a distinguished gentlemanly look.

December 2022 - Oscar loves the holidays, family coming to stay over means lots of treats and tons of love.

In April 2023, my daughter-in-law Kelly joined us for Fridays with Oscar. She and I split duty these days, with Kelly making the recipe and I tend the bar with a fresh cocktail each week.

In the summer of 2024, Oscar decided he no longer wanted to pose for his closeup on Fridays with Oscar. He prefers candid shots now, so while he still makes his weekly appearances, he’s more au natural! At the ripe old age of 10, after showing up every week for 10 years, he’s earned the right to retire from the spotlight. To ease his modeling duties, we now include Ollie in our Fridays with Oscar.
Oscar still loves nothing more than to play a game of fetch.

So raise a glass today, and toast Oscar’s 10th Birthday with us! And be sure to catch Fridays with Oscar every Friday to see Oscar, Ollie, what we’re wearing, and what we're whipping up for the weekend. Also, check out my Instagram for a fun photo montage of Oscar through the years.
Oscar, Ollie, Kelly, and I wish you a wonderful weekend!
