Please Join Us For Our Fourth Visible & Vital Event, With Annette Mathieu and Lafayette 148.

By Karen and Erica

Please join us on Thursday, May 20, at 5 pm, for the fourth event in our series Visible & Vital, part of our collaboration with Revel.

Revel is a social platform and trusted space for women over age 50 to connect with new friends, online and in person, and explore a variety of experiences.

Our culture focuses on the losses that come with aging, but good things happen too. We are more patient, compassionate, less judgmental, and accept ourselves to a degree we couldn’t in our youth. While our physical beauty fades, we compensate by finding strength and courage that wasn’t there before. We’re no longer competing, we’re collaborating. In acknowledging that our need for connection is mutual, we Revelers create a welcoming environment where we can share our joys, fears, concerns, and common spirit.

With Revel, we are creating Visible & Vital: a six-part series bridging generations and geography. We will have candid conversations with compelling women who are tackling big issues that impact us all. These discussions will unite women across the country, of all ages and stages, who want to reimagine and redefine the next phase of their lives.

Our fourth talk on Visible & Vital airs this Thursday, May 20, at 5 pm EDT, 2 pm PDT. We will speak with Annette Mathieu of Lafayette 148, of whom more below. For our first, we spoke with Stacey Rosen, a doctor revolutionizing women’s health; for our second, Sharon Weinberg, who has had many careers and now owns a bookstore; and for our third, Robin Aiello, marine biologist, paleontologist, evolutionary biologist and professional scuba diver. In later segments, we will be featuring an angel investor who will speak about the non-financial joys of investing in woman-owned companies; and for the grand finale, Erica and Karen will talk about their careers, and the foundation those careers gave them for their adventures with Lustre.

This Thursday we will be speaking with Annette Mathieu, VP of Customer Experience and VIP Services at Lafayette 148 about fashion for spring and beyond, and styling for different ages and body types. We will go beyond speaking, too—we will be having a mini fashion show! Lafayette is a woman-founded company that started in China and now has its headquarters in the incredibly stylish Brooklyn Navy Yard. Its designs are elegant and inclusive.

Please join us on Thursday with Annette. You will learn how to think about fabulous dressing at any age. And you may see some surprises!
