Pop of Spring Color on a Cold Day

February 26, 2026

I’m more of a fall/winter girl, but even I get excited about springtime. It’s hard when you’re feeling that spring vibe, but the weather is still so chilly. To me the perfect solution is a mid-weight cotton sweater in a fun bright hue. It gives you a peek of spring, but worn with a jacket, you’ll be warm enough for late winter too.

Quince’s Italian Leather Handwoven Satchel Review

February 5, 2026

This satchel bag is just perfection!

Handcrafted from 100% Italian leather, this bag looks and feels so luxurious. The woven design adds eye-catching texture and I love the interlocking knot detail. This satchel is available in six luscious shades including Black, Cognac, Taupe, Merlot, Sage, and Bone. The purse comes in a large and small version. I picked the large version, which is just the right size in my opinion. Big enough to carry of my important things in the multiple interior pockets, but not overwhelming to my overall look. Quince products are superior quality, sustainably made, and for such a good price. You won’t believe how luxe this satchel looks and feels.

About the blog: Fashion Should Be Fun is me talking to you, other middle aged women like me who are over 40, but not over fashion.  We still want to look beautiful and stylish.  We still want to have fun with trends.  And we don’t need anyone giving us rules, because we’re all different. We all have our own shapes and bodies, parts we’d like to cover and parts we still don’t mind showing off a bit.  This is a place for me to share my love of fashion with you, style ideas, tips, trends, and inspiration. I know how liking the way we look can translate into confidence and energy. I know we have so much life left to live and so much adventure ahead of us. Let’s show the world you’re never too old to have fun and be fierce!
