I couldn't go today without acknowledging it. It's national handbag day. Yes, we can all agree there's now a day for EVERYTHING, and some ridiculous things. But this is not a ridiculous one. Hail to the handbag, yes I said that. Why do I love them so much? I really can't answer that other than I've loved bags and looking pretty from a young age. Bags I think are an accessory that can be as powerful as our outfit, can define how we … [Read more...]

Decor: Bedroom Closets and How To Create One For Yourself
Wardrobe Rooms, dressing rooms, glamour closets, I love to call them BABE CAVES..... whatever you want to call them, our master closet/dressing room I feel like has taken on the main stage in the home in many women's lives. I don't recall closets and "dressing rooms" being as big of a deal growing up as they are today. It was only for the "rich and famous" that these feminine caves of wardrobes were such a thing. So what is one to do if … [Read more...]
Shop This: Labor Day Sale
To me, there's nothing more On Purpose when it comes to shopping than getting a great price on fabulous things. I hate the feeling I get of paying full price for something and turning around and seeing it on sale shortly after. Well, this weekend being a holiday weekend of Labor Day means one thing. Lots and lots of sales. Labor Day Sale shopping might be on your radar this weekend. So I thought I'd be your personal shopper and share … [Read more...]
Lip Plumper: Sublime Lips Cheeky Physique
Big juicy fuller plumper lips. Isn't that something so many women desire? I know I do! Fortunately, I don't have super thin or tiny lips, so I have a good start on my own. And the thought of injecting them with anything that could totally change how I look is something I'm not interested in. If I make any changes, I want them to be as natural looking as possible, and pain free, too! {wink!} I recently got the chance to try out the Sublime … [Read more...]
The Epic Party: Unbroken Resilience
Last week you read about EpicCon2016 HERE. An event like this needs to end with an event just as big. And it was. The Epic Party followed.

What To Wear: The Cold Shoulder Dress
I love how names change over time and over decades as styles come and go. What was once a "strapless" dress now has become a cold shoulder dress. I've always loved the cold shoulder look, whether it's completely strapless like this or whether the shoulders are cut out like THIS or THIS. Even a bit of one shoulder action (reminds me of a Greek Goddess!) I find beautiful. Something about showing the shoulders, even a little bit, I find a little … [Read more...]
What To Wear: Blue Bags
Blush blush blush... I'm always blushing. Well, not really, but you know how much I have a crush on blush. I have for some time. But I didn't realize as much as I like blush, I think I can wear light blue in the same way. And it's kinda fun that those are the pantone colors of the the year. You can read more about that HERE. So I decided to get this MiuMiu blue bag from a local fave, Balliet's. I see it as a perfect neutral, going with … [Read more...]

Target always has fabulous collaborations with designers, and I love that they bring designer looks to mainstream fashionistas, so we can all have access to these designs without paying high designer prices.

I snatched up this WhoWhatWear denim pencil skirt that's going to become part of my "uniform", so know that this won't be the … [Read more...]

What To Wear: The Bold and The Beautiful
On a recent out of town trip I "acquired" some mix and match pieces at one of my favorite places we don't have in my hometown of Oklahoma City. That would be Zara. Every time I go away to a place where there's a Zara, a visit is a must. I find fabulous pieces that are trendy, stylish, sleek, and go from day to night, casual to professional. So I found a few pieces I could definitely wear separate but for sure loved the … [Read more...]

It's one of those pieces that no matter what we're wearing beneath it, it's a look that makes us feel effortlessly fabulous. Even in jeans. It's perfect for days that are mild in temps and transition between seasons and makes a great travel piece … [Read more...]
What To Wear: Cold and Casual
Meet Oklahoma weather. Amidst rain and earthquakes, we have sleet and ice storms. Yup. No major inches of snow that last for weeks. Just icicles dripping from leaves and branches of trees. While it's beautiful to see this winter wonderland of Frozen come to life, it's not so fun when we're stuck inside because the freezing temps make the roads treacherous. And after a few days of living in pj's, enough is enough! So getting out to run … [Read more...]

Dressing up in the cold isn't my favorite. I do love to dress up but I don't enjoy being cold. So I pulled together the fun Nicole Miller swing dress, perfect for us curvy girls and so popular this year, with tights and booties. Keep my legs WARM! I'm also really loving simple colors and monochromatic schemes. So the grays and blacks all flow together. The winter white coat pops, and I think everyone needs a white coat for the winter … [Read more...]

Because Everybody Needs This… Beauty Review
One of the things that hits us this time of year is dry skin. We all get dry bodies, dry faces, dry lips, I get dried knuckles to the point that they crack and bleed because of my crazy double-jointed fingers! Ya, that bad. So I have to tell you about a product that EVERYONE needs... yes... young and old, women and men. It's this. Who here doesn't use some sort of lip balm? Can I see a show of hands here? This is Honestly … [Read more...]
What To Wear: Winter Whites
Who says white jeans are just for summer? Not me! Winter whites and the crisp clean monochromatic look of this unexpected color for winter is the perfect statement maker. There's a reason why it was all over the runways at NYFW. It's subtle yet bold at the same time, and has the same power as its opposite color, black. It's sleek, it's sophisticated, it's minimalist, it's perfect! I've put together this great look from CK and Company in Oklahoma … [Read more...]
