Fab Over Fifty
When she started surfing the web, my friend (and mentor) Geri Brin found that most websites and blogs seemed to be geared toward younger women. So she's starting a new website, Fab Over Fifty, to bring together smart, stylish women over fifty. Amazing women are already part of it (including Cathie Black, president of Hearst Magazines, and author Suzy Welch), and the website will cover beauty, books, shops, home decor--everything. Isn't that a wonderful idea?
Fab Over Fifty will launch this January, but you (or your mothers!) can sign up for the mailing list here (and enter to win five nights in this Paris apartment). xo

Intriguing idea, and great blog posts from what I've read so far.

wow it's gonna be great, i think..
can't wait to see it..
that is an amazing idea! :)
and the most gorgeous photo. :)
This is AWESOME. And that woman is gorgeous. Definitely gives me something to look foward to later in life!

fantastic idea - and what a stunning woman.
joanna! i posted that picture on my blog months back and upon my first few white hairs that have just started popping up (at 20!), i was frantically looking for this yesterday to show to a co-worker as my reasoning for not wanting to color!
...you read my mind :) and what a cute blog! xoxox
This is a really fabulous idea. It's weird how society acts with women over a certain age. It feels unfair that men have no age barriers, while women are viewed as "old" when they hit 30. I wasn't sure if a lot of guys thought this way until I watched "Millionaire Matchmaker" on BRAVO. It made me ill.
I can't wait to tell all the fabulous women I know about this great site. =)
Lovely idea!!!
The lady in the picture looks amazing!

Such a brilliant idea, we need more websites like this! That woman in the photo is stunning :)
Being a Fab over Fifty lady myself..I think it's a wonderful idea....can't wait! :)
Great idea! Especially since my own age rounds up to 50...yikes - when did that happen! :)
Wow! The woman in this photo is amazing! So natural and so chic!!
And, Fab Over Fifty is a great idea!! Love it!
What a great idea! I'm so impressed that someone is going to take the time to recognize our beautiful mothers :)
what a beautiful woman! i so wish my hair would go all white like that! anyhoo...just signed up for the launch of the site. i think it will be inspirational even for younger women!
me too, rebekah! :)
So excited to hear of this website! I just signed up.
like that older woman who models for dove...even more lovely than the 20something year olds!
i love older women who are stylish! i cant wait to be wise and proud of my greys its such an honor to grow old in this day and age.
“You can take no credit for beauty at the age of sixteen. But if you are beautiful at sixty, it will be your soul’s own doing”
Great idea. Our society is so youth-obsessed, it really does a number on us as we get older. Older women do need to be represented more often. And that photo, man, I hope I look that good when I'm her age! She looks fab indeed!
oh, that woman certainly is fab! i hope i am half as fabulous as she is at that age.
What a brilliant idea!
just signed up...and am so happy the "over 50" pic is not a nipped and tucked, pushed and pulled, "don't I look amazing" 50 year old woman. She exudes confidence...bravo!
This picture makes me smile, I think it's so beautiful when a woman grows out her silvery strands rather than hiding it with dye or cutting it into a pouf, nice!
Bill idea! I'm going to tell my Mum about it. She is fab and over 50! X
Such a great idea! Can't wait to read it :)
Thanks so much, Joanna! Having turned 60 this year, I am totally ready for this!
riki, you're 60?!! you are gorgeous!!!
that is such a good idea!!
Fabulous!! I've got to tell my mom about this.
HI EVERYONE,
Thank you all for your enthusiasm for www.faboverfifty.com. Your comments when you signed up inspire me, whether you were writing about yourself or your mom.
And thank you, my dear Joanna, for thinking enough of the idea to include it on Cup of Jo.

i just signed up to be on the mailing list! i'm sooooo looking forward to this launch! can't thank you enough for sharing!
i've a file of tearsheets of classy women 40 yrs and over that i have been collecting since i was about 15 yrs old. i will totally support this site, can't wait actually. aging really is a state of mind, the sooner our communities embrace this (as they seem to in europe), the better! thanks for letting me know about this site. shelley t - a proud 42 yr old, melbourne, australia.
I love the photograph on this post! What a beautiful woman. I have already signed up for "Fab Over Fifty"!
It's a great time to be 50+ these days. We really are moving into the new Matriarchal society; as scheduled.
I cannot wait to be able to rock the silver locks with the tawny skin, amber eyes and rosy cheeks.
I am almost there.
I am so sending this to my mom.
I LOOOOOOOOOVE this! I sincerely look up to women in their 50's and beyond. ESPECIALLY those without plastic surgery or botox! I truly feel that the older I get the more prettier I become and really embrace the whole aspect of aging.... I think this lady looks gorgeous!
NICE WOMAN
There is already a great site devoted to the style of older men and women, Advanced Style: http://advancedstyle.blogspot.com/
The more the merrier!
What a gorgeous inspiring photo!
Wonderful idea.
When I am older I want to look like that lady. Or Joanna Lumley.

what a beautiful photo.
and this website is also a very beautiful idea.
I love this idea! And I love when strong, confident women put their mind toward something and make it happen. She saw an opportunity and seized it...amazing. I am definitely going to share this link with my mom:)
I'm 35, but I am definitely going to watch out for it! Great thinking!
Good Point!
I found some interesting products on https://www.premieredesigners.com/.
One category that particularly caught my eye was Doors,

Thought you might want to check it out.
Finally! Awaiting enlightenment with great anticipation.
What a good idea... although my mother doesn't even understand what a blog is. :-/
I love Cathie Black though. OMG, her book was amazing, and it stands proudly in my bookcase.
