Tell us what you’d like us to know about yourself:

My name is Nanny de Bruin, married and mother of a daughter (32) and son (29).

Age has never been an issue to me, I never lied about it, and I never let people guess my age. I think this is silly. In general, I feel like I am 35 and learned through aging to put things into perspective as a middle-aged woman (sounds awkward;)).

Luckily I am blessed with a great sense of humor and determination. And as being a Libra, I love style, art, symmetry, and above all, fashion. Always fascinated by why people dress the way they do and the influence of politics, architecture, art in general on fashion.

What do you do for work?

I work as an art director, creative advisor, and stylist.

Best and worst thing about becoming an older woman?

The worst thing about getting older is all these (stupid and annoying) physical inconveniences.

The best part of getting older is self-reflection and my grey-white hair that I will never cut.

Integer nec odio.

If you could tweet something to your younger self, what would you say?

Try to be less insecure and don’t worry about what people might say or think of you. Love yourself more! Don’t try to please everyone all the time.

What makes you happy?

Special moments make me happy; like being with the kids and have either funny or serious conversations. Walks in nature, drink a glass of good red wine with friends, or at home with my husband. To find this unique vintage piece of clothing. I hardly ever wear new clothes.

Greatest new discovery?

Cappuccino instead of black coffee.

What’s your fantasy version of your older self?

Vivienne Westwood.

Favorite Instagram accounts we should follow?

What’s your age and how old do you feel?

My age is 64, I feel like 35 and I dress ageless.
