At long last a user friendly, practical and no-nonsense primer on how to maintain a youthful appearance and ATTITUDE well into a woman's so-called "declining" years. I got this book for Xmas and couldn't put it down! it reads like a novel--a real page turner full of "eureka" moments and epiphanies. Charla Krupp has the insight and GUTS to say what others have not and make you think about sins committed against aging as a matter of course: loosing the nude hose is genius; cutting bangs goes against all previous popular thought on the subject; and using pink and lighter lipstick took years off immediately! This book is one "Hellooooo-why didn't anyone think of this before?" after another!
Charla has obviously done a great deal of research on this topic and has some impressive professionals working in her camp. I think this book will change the paradigm of how women see themselves and how the culture treats older women significantly. IT'S ABOUT TIME!
Charla Krupp is the Gloria Steinem of beauty who will fearlessly lead older women into territory where she has never gone before: beautiful and youthful aging!

Packed with eye-opening details on hair color, brows, lipstick, wrinkle-erasers, jeans, shapewear, jewelry, heels, and more, the book speaks to every woman: from low maintenance types who don't want to spend a fortune or tons of time on her looks to high maintenance women who believe in looking fabulous at any price. There's also too-old vs. just-right before and after photos, celebrity examples of good and bad style, shopping lists of Charla's brilliant buys in fashion and beauty products, coveted addresses of "Where the top beauty pros go," fun sidebars--and more. Known to national audiences from her ten years on NBC's Today show, style expert Charla Krupp dishes out her secrets in this "ultimate" to-do list for looking hip and fabulous - no matter what your age.

Krupp, style expert for the Today Show and former beauty director for Glamour, offers easy-to-follow, tried-and-true fashion advice for women well beyond their 20s. Presented in eye-catching, highly skimmable, fashion-magazine style, here's how to trade in the things that scream old lady (simply OL in the book) for a look that's younger and hipper (Y&H). Krupp is straightforward about the physical shortcomings of older age. Aptly (and sometimes rather brutally) she steers readers away from these OL pitfalls. She is quick to point out that fashion that works on 20-somethings looks ridiculous on older women (i.e., bare midriffs, go-go boots and tattoos). As much about what to do as what not to do, some of the tips are as easy as wearing pink lipstick, a bra that fits properly and hair with bangs. Others take more thought, time and money - like Botox shots, chemical peels and hair extensions. Whether high or low maintenance about their beauty routine, women of a certain age who want to compete in our youth-obsessed culture will treat this easy read with interest. (Jan.)

Finally, a how-to book that doesn't state the obvious. Everyone knows to eat right and exercise, so we have a generation of healthy, but frumpy, women over fify. I have two young and hip daughters who try to tell me about make up, hair, and looking young, but I seem to give them all the reasons their ideas won't work for me. Reading How Not to Look Old, however, validated most of their ideas and gave me practical ways to implement them. I think it should be required reading for all baby boomer women. I even gave a copy to each of my best friends-I can't be seen hanging out with old ladies, now can I? |
