Praying for the World
Praying for Paris. Praying for the world. Praying for peace and love and for a time when life was simple. When we could enjoy the beauties of everywhere on this earth and be carefree. When we could live without fear. And we could love each other. And when life was simple. Life. On Purpose. (image via Cleo Wade) … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: On The Rocks
I know #FuzzyFriday is mostly about the fun libations I love to share with you, and about celebrating those wins we've had through the week, but today I thought I'd do a little twist on this and talk about the glasses. I'm kinda keeping this theme of bars and barware. You can see my post from yesterday's bar carts HERE. It's all how you serve it up, right? (That's true in everything we do in life, right? {wink!}) Well today I'm … [Read more...]

Nordstrom Fall Clearance Sale
I don't know if you guys really know how much I love sales. I don't obsess over them BUT I feel like I've scored MAJOR when I get a good deal. On anything really. I'll pay full retail if I must, but if I can find awesome gorgeous finds either on sale or just find a deal on it, I feel like I MAJOR scored. Like I WON! It's kinda silly, but I'm prouder of my finds on sale than those not. Crazy huh? So I always shop the sale racks first. … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: Orange Cranberry Kiss
Now that we're officially in November, I'm in the mood for scents and flavors that make me think of Thanksgiving. Those fall fruits and warm spices that make me feel like sweaters, jeans and boots. It's fresh and light, but yet warms you inside. I made it into a martini just because I felt a little fancy and felt like having a rimmer on the glass.... feel free to omit it, but licking the orange and sugar is SO yummy! … [Read more...]
Celebrity Style: Gwyneth Paltrow
Who hasn't ever dreamt of being a celebrity... or at least living like one? I love peeking into the homes of some of those people we admire from afar. Who remembers the show Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous with Robin Leach? That's what this kinda reminds me of! I'll hunt down a new celebrity home and share all of the epic, swoon-worthy photos with you. Today, we'll be collectively drooling over Gwyneth Paltrow's home. I've always admired … [Read more...]
What’s For Dinner: Greek Style Ribs
The one word you hear me say lots around here is "busy". We're all busy this, that, this, that, whatever. Who isn't busy right? And it's not to sound bad or negative, it just is what it is. We all do lots of different things, so when I find things that are quick and easy and save time, I'm ALL over it. Because guess what? I'm busy TOO! And so I'm sure lots of you relate to those crazy chaotic days. That's what I want to do for you. Let … [Read more...]
Why You Need To Be On Periscope and NovemberScopers
By now you've heard me talk about the new social media that's live stream video. Periscope. I've chatted about it HERE and HERE. So I'm back just sharing briefly today just a few more things about this fun interactive program. Why should you follow me and others on Periscope? Get to actually HEAR me and see me live. So you're like, big deal! Well, it's kinda fun to get to see the person behind the pen (or keyboard in this case) live … [Read more...]
Lush Fashion Lounge Holiday Collection
It's November 1, only 53 more day's till Christmas is here. And while it's not even Thanksgiving yet, some of us are thinking about getting ahead with all of our to-dos, and part of that is shopping. So I'm here to share a sneak peek of the Falalalalush Holiday Collection from Lush Fashion Lounge, both in Oklahoma City AND online that launch TOMORROW, November 2. I'm naughty, and my girl just wants cookies for Christmas! … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: Bloody Brain Shooter
In the holiday tradition of the weekend, I wanted to share a festive drink that will be quite the statement maker in your grossly ghoulish spooky parties. Did you ever think I'd teach you to be a mad scientist? Well, I want to teach you lots of skills, and this one will impress your guests. The chemical reaction from the acidic lime juice with the Irish Cream causes the cream to curdle, creating brain-like curls and strands. Isn't this the … [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...]
Fuzzy Friday: The Frenchy
I don't know why I'm feeling Frenchy, but I am. I took those pictures on vacation a couple of summers ago in Paris (pre fancy camera!). Yesterday I posted about the Parisian doors (see that HERE). Today I'm sharing a Parisian drink. The Frenchy. Clever, huh? I didn't make it up, but it DOES put good use out of that fancy pear vodka we used a few weeks ago, remember HERE? Well, with a simple change of one of the juices, bam, we have a whole … [Read more...]
Make A Grand Entrance: Paris Doors
Purchase the print of this beautiful door from Rebecca on Etsy! via via via via "You never get a second chance at a first impression." With home decor, when it comes to doors, nothing could be further from the truth. From the second we walk up to a doorway, we get an impression of what the house will be like inside. And if your goal is to have a grand home, then why not purposely have a grand front door? I … [Read more...]
What To Wear: From Desk To Dinner
As much as I love fashion and style, what I love more about it is how I feel in what I wear. This is one of those dresses that makes me feel as bold as the print is. Color blocking, along with the style and cut of this dress made me feel like I could go from the boardroom to a dinner date. Do you remember THIS post I did for the grand opening of H&M? In the video I took of the event I talked about a dress I wanted to hurry up and snatch … [Read more...]
All Choked Up
One of my favorite outfits in high school, I remember it vividly, was a light pink button down loose fitting rayon blouse, a white mini skirt, and a brass choker. Big bangs were an extra free perk to go along with it! Believe it or not I can't remember the shoes, but I DO vividly remember this brass heavy choker, and what I wouldn't give to still have it now! They're back. What comes around goes around. And seriously you guys, when I said … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: Fireball Cider
I'm DYING over here in this Oklahoma heat. Seriously y'all... (ok for me to say that means I'm REALLY talking straight talk!)... it's MID October and I'm going.... bring out the Banana Boat and let's have Pina Coladas poolside? Come on now! We're having temps in the 90's and I can't take it. So I'm FORCING fall with this one. And I got the inspiration from sweet Joanna over at Motherhood & Merlot. Remember that October Scopers thing … [Read more...]
What To Wear: The Cold Shoulder
I've always had a thing for the cold shoulder. No, I'm not blowing you off. The "cold shoulder" is where there's a cut out by the shoulders on a top. It's a unique little touch that revealed a little bit of skin, while covering up. Almost as if you're playing "peek a boo", and a hint of sexy. If you're looking for that kind of feeling, then buy one of these tops. It's how it makes me feel (wink!). Anything revealing any bit of the shoulder … [Read more...]
Step Into My Office: A How To Guide
Work. Do you love what you do for work? The word itself isn't a pleasant thing in my opinion. Even the word "job". I like to use the word "werk", because it has a bit of a kick to it. And also because I don't ever feel like I'm working when I'm working. A big part of loving what we do is do we love the space we've created to in which to actually do the work in? I redid my office last year if you recall, I shared it HERE, and I never … [Read more...]
