I've always been one of those people whose age is a bit of mystery, but these last few years I feel like I'm starting to look my age.

We have a rule when we're traveling: no chain hotels allowed. We always skip the chains that we see in every city in favor of a chic local spot. We feel that it gives us a better sense for the city we're visiting, and the carefully curated decor always leaves us feeling inspired. And for us, one of the highlights of traveling is always the cozy, luxurious bedding in hotels.

Like most things after 50, fashion gets easier in some ways and it gets harder in other ways.  I've had more than 50 years to hone my personal style and I know what works for me.  On the other hand, not all silhouettes fit like they used to, and heels are out of the question most days.  

This year, each of us at Elsie Green has decided to manifest on one word for 2025. The intent is to keep this single word as a guiding light for the year, a word we can each have as a concise and potent focus, whispering motivation and inspiration when we need a little reminder or nudge in the right direction. 

A very Elsie New Years Eve.
