So my kids were home this week... Long story, our school hosted a big huuuuge arts festival, with 3500 kids here from other schools. So school was out all week in preparation for this major event. Thank you second spring break, getting dentist done, trying to be productive while being disrupted, but it's all good. Needless to say, momma needs a drink. Survival mode. And in case you're wondering why I haven't been blogging QUITE as much … [Read more...]
What To Wear: Easter Brunch
Easter will be here in less than two weeks and I've found some darling pieces to wear to Easter brunch. I found these in part of the Easter Collection at Lush Fashion Lounge. What I love about this boho inspired fresh look is that this spring holiday style can go way beyond just this one holiday. Wear the kimono with a white tee and jeans, jean shorts, and so many other ways. The peach lace dress is perfect as a stand alone. Dress it up as … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: The Thunderstorm
Being in Oklahoma and that spring is upon us, I find it only appropriate that The Thunderstorm is a cocktail we need to have. One, because it's part of our daily conversations, two, we actually may need one of these to help us get through our hormonal weather, and three, we say things like Hook Echo and Wall Cloud on a regular basis. People in other states most likely would have NO clue what we're talking about. The … [Read more...]
Celebrity Style: David Bowie NYC Apartment
I'm always intrigued and fascinated to see where the rich and famous live or have lived, to catch a bit of their style and dream of what their lives were like there. One the residents of the late David Bowie is available for sale again. This NYC 1877 square foot apartment overlooks Central Park, and even has his piano! It's totally done in a very traditional style. I don't seem to think David Bowie had it styled like this, but … [Read more...]
What To Wear: Sassy Night Out
I picked up this little faux leather dress last fall at Zara because I thought I needed a sassy piece for my closet. I don't have that many sassy nights, but if one came up, I'd be ready. That night came. Perfect for date night (which that constitutes sassy too, but I meant a little MORE sassy!) or girls night out, I had a girls night out. And you know most girls when they have a night out love to fluff their hair, right? You … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: The OP Stiletto
I need a grown up night to celebrate, with adults, with cocktails. I've been working my hiney off, and I feel the need to dress up, get some high heels on, and have some fun. Meet my concoction, The OP Stiletto. It's a bit sweet with the Disaronno, a bit strong with Bourbon, and fizzed up with some club soda and half a lime. SO good. A bit strong. JUST what you need when you've worked your ass off and you need to major unwind. The OP … [Read more...]
What To Wear: Transitional Weather
You never know what you're going to get when it comes to Oklahoma weather. That and travel I think are my keys to my favorite rule in what to wear. Layers. As we are right in the middle of what seems to be transitional weather, it only makes sense that we prepare for those days of cold to hot, windy and sunny, and why don't we throw in a hormonal hot flash or two while we're at it! {wink!} So my ultimate key in what to wear for transitional … [Read more...]
Valentine’s Day Gift Guide
Hello lovelies!!! After a brief hiatus, I'm BAAAAACK! You've heard me talk about being On Purpose and prioritizing different things in our lives. Well, this has been one of those times. One of those seasons. My time has been slightly preoccupied with my daughter's business, and our recent feature on TLC. In case you missed it on some of my social media channels, our family had a show on TLC called Kid Tycoons. It has been the most … [Read more...]

If you follow my drinks and stock your bar with some of the liquors I've used in the … [Read more...]
What To Wear: Ruffled Tops
Ruffled tops give just that bit of detail we need to make a simple top have a bit of whimsey and femininity. Honestly, there's not much to say about them other than they're just fun and something different! I recently got this sweater and it's the perfect crop paired with high waisted jeans. I've pulled a few for you I think you'd like. And guess what? They're ALL under $30, some even under $20! Do you have any ruffles in your … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: Couture Cosmo
Happy #FuzzyFriday loves! So, I don't know if you can tell, but I've been doing a balancing act. I've been balancing all the hats I wear, which include "momager" that has taken the lead for the time being, blogger and women's empowerment coach, and of course, domestic goddess. See my invisible crown? (wink!) But seriously, don't we all go through periods and phases where our lives are a bit out of sync? Such is the case with mine, and … [Read more...]
What To Wear: Leopard – Spot On
What comes around goes around. Was leopard ever really OUT? I guess it all depends on how you wear it. If you bedazzle it with all kinds of stuff, then YES ... it's WAY out. But for me, it never really left. I always had a sprinkle of it here or there in my wardrobe, be it my shoes or a clutch, but definitely in my coats. I have 3 to be exact! And not one is from this season! Why do I have a full closet? This is why. Because I feel … [Read more...]
The OP Life Quirky Gift Guide
I have often been described as quirky. I never knew how to take that. But upon doing a little research and hearing and seeing what some of those people think of me, it was an affectionate description. It's something unusual, unexpected, different, but appealing, attractive, interesting, charming, even fun. So that's me. Quirky. A And I thought to myself we need a gift guide that has some things that maybe you haven't seen before, or if … [Read more...]
