Hot for Fall 2012
Fall isn't here yet, but I am SO ready! Aren't you? It's my favorite season of the year.

With Labor Day just around the corner, I thought I'd share a trend that I'm kinda excited about this fall.... VELVET! All photos from … [Read more...]

It was love at first sight.
This was the first thing in front of me as I was leaving the corridors of the mall restroom.... It was like "FEAST YOUR EYES ON THIS!!!" I about DIED! It attracted me like a magnet to metal and I gravitated to the GOLD letters, not to mention huge PRADA sign on the right display window. This new store, only open for a few weeks in Oklahoma City is going to be THE store to see. I can promise you that! And if you don't live in Oklahoma City, … [Read more...]
Feelin Retro.
After going to the Duran Duran concert last night, still in awe of the Fab Five that I drooled over in jr. high, I couldn't stop singing "The Reflex" all day. So in honor of my nostalgia, I thought I'd share a little retro inspired photo shoot done for Oyster's 100th issue retro story. These images spoke to me. A little Melanie Griffith, "Working Girl" inspired, early 80's. images via … [Read more...]
I can’t take it anymore.
So remember I bumped into Jessica, one of my FABULICIOUS friends, at the mall, and I glance down at her wrist (of course to check out her goods as we do), and I fell in LOVE with the most simple blue rope bracelet with a TINY bit of bling on it. WAY cute. Perfect layering piece. "OMG WHERE DID YOU GET THAT? I NEED IT!" Her response J.Crew. After she GAWKED at my geode ring , I ZOOOOOOMED down the mall corridor and made a dash for the … [Read more...]

Oldies but goodies.
When we typically think of going shopping for some of our accessories, we might run to the mall, or maybe a local boutique, or even click ADD TO CART and do some shopping online. We probably wouldn't be going to our local antique mall to find such things. But, I found some AMAZING gems I couldn't help but snap a shot of on my recent visit to a local antique mall. Those who know me know I LOVE sparkly things. And the more unique, the better. … [Read more...]
Diane Von Furstenberg
I came across this great interview on Makers I couldn't help butshare with my readers today. You know I love fashion, I love style, and part of that is classic femininity that no matter what era or time we're in, it's IN. Such is that of the designs of Diane Von Furstenberg. I remember shopping with my mom as a young girl at Marshall Fields and her wearing these beautiful dresses. They flowed and showed her hourglass figure. I loved watching … [Read more...]
Color Blocking
Something you will see all over this season... COLOR. You will see me talk about color lots in the coming weeks ahead. I noticed early this year when I went to Target and they were starting to hang decorative props from the ceiling that were all these vibrant colors. The next thing I noticed were some of those same props on their ads on TV. Yup. Color had made its arrival. Not only that, color blocking, where contrasting colors are put … [Read more...]
