ROSE, NYC... AT AGE 98
"The other day I had the wonderful opportunity to interview an amazingly stylish 98 year old woman by the name of Rose . I met her a few weeks ago when I stopped to take her photo off of Madison Ave. She told me that she never allows anyone to take her picture, and she is not quite sure why she decided to say yes to me that fateful day. After appearing on Advanced Style, her grandchildren emailed me telling me that Rose loved her picture and that I could come by her place and ask a few questions about her life and style! Even more inspiring than Roses' fantastic fashion sense is positive outlook on life; Enjoy every moment and be happy with what you have.At 98, she has more vitality and spirit than most people half her age." (as told by Ari, creator of Advanced Style, October 26, 2010)
Find your perfect perfume, people will remember you by your
scent. Rose is known for her Pauline Trigère fragrance. She tells her
granddaughter "I'll give you anything in the world, but I won't give you
my perfume".
Belts and Beads. Rose believes that a belt or unique
strand of beads can really make an outfit and they don't have to cost a
fortune.
Take care of your feet and wear good shoes, but when
you are going out for a night on the town, "Fashion comes before
comfort". At 98, Rose goes out every single night!
"Walking is a must, it's better than doctors or
medicine."
No need to use expensive moisturizers, Rose swears by Oil of Olay which
she has been using for decades.
"Inexpensive lipstick is as good as expensive, only better!" Rose has tried
every brand from Chanel to Lauder and has recently been turned on to Revlon.
Be Unique: "If everyone is wearing it, then it is not
for me".
"Be smart enough to know what you don't
know".
If you have trouble reading the dinner menu, Lorgnettes
are a fashionable and elegant alternative to reading glasses.
"Be happy, enjoy what you have at
every moment!"
ROSE, NYC... AT AGE 99
Stay Organized. "If you take a toothpick out,
or a pair of pantyhose, or a hundred dollar bill, always put it back where you
found it, because if you add up the time you spend looking for it later, that's
a waste of time"
"Always tell the truth because if you don't you'll
have to think of another lie."
"Be More, appear Less."
"Always take the phone off the hook when
you are in the bath."
"Make friends with the Maître De."
"Never loan, Never borrow."
"Never keep anyone waiting. Always be
15 minutes early."
"Never look back, always look forward."
"Don't be afraid to tell your age, that's
silly. Be proud of your age."
"Don't frequent a restaurant where they don't
crumb the table
