Happy Birthday, Josie Natori!

Today is a special day… the 70th birthday of my fabulous and wonderful mother-in-law, Josie Natori! I used to think that 70 meant old age, but she makes 70 look chic, young, energetic, and fashionable — more than anyone else I know. My mother in law is incredibly talented, bright, smart, with-it, creative, accomplished, successful, caring, and wonderful. Here is a look at her throughout the decades — and happy birthday to such a lovely lady, I love you.

Here is the beautiful Josie Natori as a young girl. I love her bangs!

A devoted and committed Catholic, here she is at her first communion (her stunning parents next to her).

Always fancy and dressed to the nines!

Even back then, she knew how to style and accessorize herself.

Elegant.

Mother and son.

The happily married couple (45 years this month!)

This must be from the 80s. Still glamorous and beautiful.

Here she is a few months ago — so gorgeous, striking, and beautiful. Inside and out!

Looking through these photographs, she is timeless, effortless, happy, and stunning. Josie Natori is truly one of a kind, and someone I admire so much. She inspires us all to keep on our toes, dream big, and think positively. Happy birthday, we love you oh so much!
