Kyle Richards’ White Tweed Blazer

Kyle Richards’ White Tweed Blazer at Dinner

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 11 Finale Fashion

Kyle Richards’ picked the perfect white tweed blazer to wear to dinner. And it just so happened to match her new friend Goldilocks wonderfully. This is a great look for fall and it’s a bummer that her particular blazer is sold out. Thankfully we have Style Stealers below that aren’t too big and aren’t too small, but just right.

 

Sincerely Stylish,

Jess

Zara Perfume Is Going Viral on Tiktok & Fans Say It a Dupe of the $325 Baccarat Rouge 540

As a pretty regular Zara shopper, there’s not much the retailer sells that I don’t know about. But when I saw the Zara perfume that’s a dupe for Baccarat Rouge 540 on TikTok, I was shocked. I knew the brand had some affordable fragrances but I didn’t realize just how large the selection is. And how good. Most of it is available online (you know how crazy Zara stores are!) and is actually in stock now.

If you’re not familiar with the fancy option, allow me to explain. Maison Francis Kurkdjian Paris Baccarat Rouge 540 Eau de Parfum is a cult-fave French woody fragrance, with notes of jasmine, saffron, cedarwood ambergris. It’s a sexy scent but one that’s not heavy or overpowering. Plus, the bottle is stunning. It’s not cheap but folks swear it’s worth every penny.

Now, if you’re not in the market to spend more than $300, I feel you. How about $25? TikTokers swear Zara’s Red Temptation Floral Eau De Parfum is similar — especially for the price. TikToker @jesssscca says Red Temptation smells “honestly pretty much the same, I can tell the difference but not by much!” @makeupsessions says it’s a dupe, too, and because Zara’s is more affordable, she can use more of it.

Zara.

It seems there are actually a few Zara scents folks swear smell just like designer options. @makeupsessions swears Zara Gardenia ($19.90 at Zara) is a dupe for Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Eau de Parfum ($106 at Ulta) and Zara Applejuice ($17.90 at Zara) is a dupe for Chanel Chance Eau Tendre Eau De Parfum ($138 at Ulta). The moral of the story? Hurry and grab Red Temptation and do not sleep on Zara fragrances.

Ageism vs The Wisdom of the Elders

wisdom vs ageism

Do you know this word: ‘ageism’?

‘Ageism’ is a word first coined in 1969 by American psychiatrist Robert N. Butler. He was referring to systematic stereotyping or discrimination against people because they are old.

Through the years, the definition of ‘ageism’ has evolved to mean prejudice against other age groups too, but ageism is still most commonly recognized as prejudice and discrimination against older people.

This can be a serious social problem – seniors denied care and understanding simply due to their age. Unfortunately, I’ve even seen such injustice in healthcare.

But ageism isn’t just a social problem. It can affect the self-image of individuals too. As people age, they often begin to view their lives as increasingly limited or unimportant — less meaningful. They turn the prejudice of ageism against themselves!

What Ageism Misses

Ageism affects more than the lives of older individuals. Ageism ‘dumbs down’ our whole culture.

Any culture that places greatest value in youth overlooks the supreme treasure of old age – wisdom!

Traditional societies, worldwide, through time, have valued the wisdom of the elders. Tribes look to their elders for a depth of insight and guidance that’s less available from younger folks.

I saw this firsthand in my years of training in analytical psychology. We students all knew that, by and large, the great analysts were the old ones! They had the wisdom.

A Natural Tendency Toward Wisdom

There’s a study that sheds light on one way that older people naturally access more wisdom. (Yes, that includes your wisdom too!)

Researchers investigated the ‘cognition’ (thinking process) of younger people (college students) as compared to older people (aged 60–75). In the study, they discovered that the thinking of the older group was slower, but it was equally accurate.

When researchers encouraged the older participants to speed up, they were able to do so. They could even match the speed of the younger participants without significantly losing accuracy – but they preferred to go more slowly.

One researcher concluded: “In many simple tasks, the elderly take longer mainly because they decide to require more evidence to make their decisions.”

Sounds like wisdom, doesn’t it? Slower thinking that naturally favours more evidence in decision-making.

You might consider this the next time you notice that you’re taking a little extra time to think about things before deciding. This is natural. Why hurry? You’re accessing wisdom!

Have you recently experienced ageism? In what way? What does wisdom mean for you? Have you noticed yourself growing in wisdom? How so?
