Love Ever After

"We met when we lived in China. I was on vacation in another town and we only saw each other for three days. We lived very far apart and so, when I returned home, we sent letters. At that time we didn't even have a telephone! We wrote letters each week but it took about 20 days for our letters to reach each other. We did this for five years." -Jin Lin Chen, March 15, 2011.

One might say I love love, one can certainly say I love old folks. So it's no wonder why I fell for the Love Ever After project.

Grandma Chic?

This week seems to be Street Style week here on Another Zoe Day—I can't help it, real people are just so well-dressed. And these lovely ladies are no exception. It seems to be a normal notion that once you get to a certain age, there are certain things you can no longer wear. I love how they are all dispelling that thought in one fell swoop, a splash of color and a flip of a feather boa—frankly I don't think these looks would work if they were any younger, right? They are turning grandma chic into grandma freak and I love it.
