With beautifully designed and curated collages, Jo-Lynne’s site is a pleasure to peruse. Overall, Jo-Lynne has a more casual fashion style and I love that she features styles from affordable brands and retailers.
Fabulous After 40 – Deborah Boland
After 20 years as a Lifestyle TV Producer and host with her own hit HGTV series, Deborah’s life changed when she found herself as a stay-at-home mom with three small children. Our lives, bodies, and fashion change as we age, and Deb realized that there was a huge lack of women fashion influencers in their 40s, 50s, and 60s, so she created Fabulous After 40. Deborah has a wealth of experience and knowledge, and she shares practical advice on many fashion topics, from how to dress for your body shape to how to build a wardrobe.

Busbee Style has been a popular go-to fashion blog for years, and she has expanded her blog over time with Beauty, travel, and she has a very interesting and informative “Menopause” tab for her articles about menopause and her experiences.

She has articles that benefit women of any age because she lines out exercise, diet, and well-being as key factors for aging well.
