Having pieces in your closet that are classic that can go for church, a graduation party, a luncheon, a shower are things I love to look for so that when one of those occasions come up, I'm always armed and ready with that perfect piece in my closet. That's what I thought of when I saw this blue dress from Gil's. It is simple, the lines on it are classic, but the fun curved front on the skirt makes it a bit … [Read more...]
Rock Love
I donno what it is about geodes and agates that that I'm so gravitated to, but I am. It doesn't matter in what shape or form they're in, I want em. All over. All over my house dripping from the walls and ceilings, all over my body, to look at, to be in awe over, to hypnotize me! HA! Like they have a mystical power over me or something nuts! Seriously, I love em like crazy, and I'm thinkin, here's why … [Read more...]
The W List, Gil’s and a Giveaway
Introducing... People, places, things that are WOW, WONDERFUL and since I'm the scout, these happen to be on WESTERN. {wink!} Today, I'm sharing with you one of Oklahoma's greats, Gil's. Since 1987, it's been one of Oklahoma City's go to shops for fun contemporary clothing, but what makes Gil's such a cool store it it's Denim Bar. Being known as THE denim store carrying premier brands, they are the go-to store in our state for those … [Read more...]
Lady In Red
If you've been following me for some time now, you probably have figured out my love of stylish, fashionable, sophisticated classics. Don't confuse classics with boring. There is NOTHING boring about what I'm sharing today! You've seen me share a few ideas on the LBD here, well, today, RED is the new BLACK! Meet the LRD or the little red dress {wink!}. Red seems to be a kind of "va-va-voom" color, and I felt VERY "va-va-voom" in this dress … [Read more...]
Basic Black and White
Classics are classics because they are just that. You can never go wrong by putting together some classic pieces and look stylish and look put together no matter what the occasion. Dress it up or down with your accessories and tweak it to your liking and your personal style. But in my opinion, a crisp white shirt and simple black skirt is one of my can't-go-wrong outfits every girl needs in her wardrobe. My key to take it from OK to WOW is 2 … [Read more...]
The Wedge
Not the salad. Not a slice of pizza. Shoes. Wedge shoes. I have lots of wedges, but today I've picked my slides. One of my favorite pairs I got in Greece last summer at Koniaris is what I'm sharing today, simply because you need to see "my uniform" yet again. (Are you seeing patterns of things I'm drawn to…. over and over and over again?) Neutrals, nudes, whatever you wanna call them. Yeah, that's them. I personally love shoes like these … [Read more...]
A Stylin Friday
You've seen my posts this week about fashion (those of you who have been following me know I don't post about the same topic every day, but this was an unusual week)…. One person commented on Facebook that they didn't see much that was actually wearable. True! Many of the things are really not ready-to-wear, however many were. But the ones that were not, we should look at that fashion as another form of beautiful art. Wouldn't you agree? … [Read more...]

If you follow me on Facebook or any social media, you might have seen me in this halter radiant orchid dress floating around the past few days... … [Read more...]
Oklahoma Fashion Week, Part 2
I know, more fashion, but I can't contain myself! Seriously, Oklahoma put on the most AWESOME show ever, and I was so blessed to be a part of the whole event. And I'm breaking it down into chunks because simply there is so much to share and I'm just really highlighting for you a glimpse of the fabulous designers that made this fashion show what it was, showcasing their styles, their clothing, their art. So, bear with me and all the fashion … [Read more...]
Isabella Rose Taylor
How many 13 year old, college freshman do you know? Ones that also own their own company, a clothing line? Meet Isabella Rose Taylor who is just that. A beautiful, brilliant young lady I had the pleasure of spending some time with this past weekend for Oklahoma Fashion Week. I saw Isabella on the Today show several years ago and both my daughter and I were so intrigued and excited to see that talent and drive at such a young age. And having … [Read more...]
Oklahoma Fashion Week, Part 1
Oklahoma Fashion Week was a huge success and what an epic event it was! For all who came, you got to experience an afternoon and/or evening of fashion, art, culture, music and LIFE. What an awesome thing for our city to have. There is no reason why Oklahoma can't be as amazing as any other city, and it was proved this last week and weekend. {I call that being OP, On Purpose! wink!} So what went down? Well, the fashion show was broken down … [Read more...]
A Fashionable Friday
Most of you know I wear many hats. The biggest hat I wear is my mommy hat. That means juggling and prioritizing. But I also love fashion, which, when I heard about there being an Oklahoma Fashion Week, I was very excited to be a part of such a fun event and curious as well what it had in store for our great state and of course fashion! What is Oklahoma Fashion Week? It's a week filled with events sharing music, art, and of … [Read more...]
Zara Neoprene Dress
This isn't a #tbt Throwback Thursday post, but this fabric and this trend I'm seeing DOES make me think of styles from the past. Neoprene, or as I call it, stretchy bathing-suit type fabric. {wink} I'm seeing it everywhere, and if you haven't yet, you will. Especially for the coming warmer months. In geometric, obscure, and floral prints. Kinda lycra-ish I guess you could say, sucks you in, and kinda pulls you together. At first I was like … [Read more...]
Target Retro Striped Dress
You guys know by now I love knit dresses that I can throw on with some boots, flip flops, sandals, or in the case I'm going to show you today, heels. I think the reason why I love these easy going dresses so much is because they are so versatile. Dress them up, dress them down, they're comfy, easy to pack, and best of all, inexpensive! I call this a retro look because it reminds me of some things I had back in the … [Read more...]
The Boyfriend Shirt
Hot, cold, hot, cold, and today rain. As much as I'm DYING for the spring to show more of his face, today was a bit on the chillier side. Now, because my "work" can be from home, and the weather was as such, I had to pull out what I've been wearing lot's of this past winter. My husband's shirt. Seriously, for this outfit, all you need is a man in your household. And if you don't have a man, then you can shop the men's sale racks! For … [Read more...]
Nude Sandals
One of my staples to have in my shoe wardrobe is my nude sandal. Actually, the nude shoe for me is one that I gravitate to ALL the time, be it flat sandal, cage sandal, closed up bootie shoe, strappy sandal, I just am the believer that it belongs in every woman's wardrobe. Just like we need several black shoes, several black dresses? We need several nude shoes. Just sayin.... The selection I've chosen for you below is ideal with this seasons … [Read more...]
Sweet Meets Sport
The girls over at Coast to Coast Central have fashion challenges so I thought I'd jump on in this one, especially because I kinda do love mixing things up on my casual run around days. Today I put together elements of sports and casual along with some more feminine girlie things to come up with this look. Because I'm vertically challenged, my wedge sneakers ARE my first choice. But I wanted to make this even … [Read more...]
White Jeans and Pony Hair
Who said white jeans are just for summer? Not true. I paired up a pair of Target winter white jeans with a black "leather" stripe with this fun pony-hair sweatshirt. That sweatshirt is WAY thick and warm, so I saved this one for a brrrrrrr cold day! (Are you guys SICK of this coat yet??? Well, I gotta say, it has been my most FAVORITE buy of the season! I wear it ALL the time … [Read more...]
The Basic Black Dress… on SALE
A staple in every woman's wardrobe I think should be a basic black dress. There is a section in my closet actually JUST for my black dresses. It's one of those classic items that depending on how you accessorize it, you can wear it to almost anything. Pair it with fabulous jewelry, your shoes, your bag, the way you style your hair... the basic black dress is your classic canvas to do something as casual or as formal as your occasion calls … [Read more...]
Transition Weather Wear
Most can agree that where I live, in Oklahoma City, mother nature lately has seemed like a woman going thru severe PMS, if not THE CHANGE. One day we have freezing temperatures, snow on the ground, and less than a week later we have weather warm enough for shorts. REALLY? Well, today mother nature seemed wishy washy. What do we wear when we seem to be in limbo? I call it "transition wear". I paid a visit to sweet Courtney at Bow and Arrow … [Read more...]
