Help Wanted ~ Seriously, people!

I am a 52 year old, happily married female (and mother of six awesome young adult children) looking for help in the following areas:

1. Fashion - I am looking to re-define my fashion style now that I am getting more seasoned and mature! Can someone help me learn how to use modern trends in subtle ways to keep me up-to-date? I don't want to be left behind, but I also do NOT want to look trendy/trashy (which is what frequently happens when a woman my age tries to adopt modern trends!) I want to look classy, not trashy or frumpy! I need help with color, styles and accessories (jewelry, shoes, etc).

2. Interior Decorating - I want to find relatively simple techniques to add flair to my surroundings. I can't do any major remodeling, but I want to learn about details I can add to a room to make it "pop"! I want to learn about color, design, patterns, texture, furniture, art and clever accessories I can use to update my home.

I have learned about all of this in the past, but I feel like I am in serious need of an update!
If you know of any blogs or websites that can help me in these areas, please leave me a message with the url.

Thank you!

Changes are a Comin' ~

My background is currently provided by these creative minds. But today, when I logged in I found a message announcing that my current background would expire on July 23 (tomorrow!). I clicked on the message and was directed to their site for more information. However, the link that would answer my "why" was not working. So... I guess this blog will be getting an overhaul soon!

That's okay. Change is good! I would love some feedback as to how to make it more personal and customized!

ps - I really hate this Old Editor option and wish blogspot would get their act together and fix the problems with the New Editor so I could use it. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do on my end?
