Why We Love Summer (and Fall Even More)
Summer has always been the best time to unwind. The days stretch long, the pace slows down, and it is easy to slip into a sundress or denim and call it good. But when fall rolls in, that is when the fun really begins. Fall is fashion’s favorite season — boots, blazers, cozy knits, and all the layering magic. It is also the best time to zhuzh the house. A fresh throw on the sofa, a candle that smells like crisp apples, or a new accent pillow can make your home feel just as refreshed as your wardrobe.
Shop the Room
Fall reminds us that a little polish goes a long way, whether in what we wear or how we live. It is about blending comfort with style, grit with glamour — a philosophy that carries through every season.
This post blended style and reflection — clearing out your closet is as much about life lessons as it is about making room for new pieces.

Seasons Change
Here we are at Labor Day Weekend — how did that happen so fast? Just like the seasons shift, our lives do too. Summer is giving way to fall, and with it comes new rhythms, new routines, and of course, new style. As the days get shorter and the air a little crisper, I’ll be sharing fresh content to inspire you: fall fashion guides, recipes perfect for cozy evenings, and reflections that remind us that change can be beautiful. Style at a Certain Age has always been about embracing each stage with grace, grit, and glamour — and this new season is no exception.
Closing Thoughts
The beauty of blogging is that it is not just about outfits, recipes, or reflections. It is about connection. This summer reminded me of that again and again.
I recently nicknamed this wonderful community the Grit and Glam’s — because let’s be honest, living life at a certain age requires a healthy dose of both. Grit to keep pushing forward, and glam to remind ourselves that style is not about age, it is about attitude.
Here is to carrying a little summer sunshine into fall. Stronger, braver, and stylish as ever.
Thank you, Grit and Glam Club, for showing up with your comments, your stories, and your style.
