I've been a little busy lately getting ready to launch some amazing things, and that has had most of my focus as of lately, but I can't help but share my latest obsession. Blush mules. First you know I love blush everything, right? Well, consider these your new nudes. Post coming on neutrals, by the way. But these are just light and fresh and perfect for spring. They go with everything. Jeans, blush jeans, white jeans, shorts, skirts, … [Read more...]
What To Wear: White Out
Less is more. Monochrome can be understated and make a statement. White is always right. I love to think of white like black. I can never get enough of my white jeans. And I can never get enough of my white tops. So put them together, and you have a crisp clean look that works for wherever and whenever. My top is one of my new favorites, with its detail of the ruffle sleeves in a contrasting cotton fabric. What I love about … [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...]
Wear This: Bell Sleeves
Want to be the belle of the ball? Wear bell sleeves! Bell sleeves on everything! Crisp shirts, flouncy tops, floral boho tops, and in my case today, dresses. It's just one of many details you'll see on our clothes. I personally love these because it adds just a bit of flare on something that would just seem ordinary. I paired my blue and white dress with simple nude wedges and a matching clutch. Keeping it understated, I let … [Read more...]
Wear This: Must Have Bag To Go Out
Grab your clutch! It's time to go out! Here's a look back at some of my older posts with clutches. Every woman needs some clutches in her wardrobe. I love my clutches, and I have them in all kinds of colors and designs. They pair with complimentary patterns and colors, as well as make a statement with a punch of color or simply in its pattern or design. When you're going out and you don't need your suitcase of a "mom" bag … [Read more...]
Wear This: Add Color With Accessories
As much as I love trends and some fads, I tend to lean to the more simple and classic timeless looks. I also love the elegance of simplicity and looks that stand the test of time. Style doesn't mean you have to always wear the hottest this or the newest that. It's about being put together in a way that looks good and suits you, the occasion, and how you feel best. So today I wanted to give you a simple style tip that I do often. It can work … [Read more...]
What To Wear: Glamour Night Out
In honor of #NationalDressDay, I thought I'd kick off the week with a bit of feminine flair. I recently attended a black tie event, and ladies were asked to wear floor length gowns. My daughter was to be the focus of the night, so I wanted something elegant, sophisticated, mature yet not matronly, sleek, understated, yet at the same time fantastic. This gown from Halston Heritage was what I chose. A couple of thoughts … [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...]
Shop Your Closet: Ponchos and Velvet Leggings
Why is my closet so full? It's full because of unique pieces like this that I bought years ago at Rakota Remington (which is no longer around but it was a fabulous little boutique in Oklahoma City). This poncho can be worn so many ways. I love all the cutouts and the fringe detail. It's something you won't find anywhere else. And when we have crazy grey days like some we've been having, and you just want to layer, it's the perfect piece. … [Read more...]
Love is…
Today is the day we celebrate love. Supposedly. Valentine's Day. I want to know. What do you think of Valentine's day? Do you think this is the day to pull out all the stops and go over the top and show the person of your dreams how much you love them? What are your two cents on this whole V-Day thing? Personally, the older I get, and the more life experiences I have under my belt, I feel like Valentine's Day really is every day. … [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...]

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...]

Most of our recent years, our New Year's Eve has been very quiet, just spending time with the family which is what's most important to me.

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...]

Shop Your Closet: Winter White Coats
White is the new black. Winter white. Why be ordinary? Black coats are a dime a dozen, and although I love the simplicity and classic timeless look of black, white can have the same effect. I'm telling you if you don't have a winter white coat, get one. You'll be so happy you did. In a crowd of cold friends, you'll stand out amongst the rest (unless they all read this blog post and all got white coats and you wore them all … [Read more...]
Wear This: Velvet Head To Toe
This season I'm obsessed with velvet. Not only am I obsessed with it, I am all about velvet head to toe. How? Like this. First, I feel like velvet = luxe. It's not about being expensive, but it's texture, look and feel just to me feels like luxury and comfort all in one.

30 Under 30: Holiday Gift Guide
This week marks the beginning of hustle and bustle and I know one thing is for sure... I'm getting my hustle on with my holiday shopping. My goal is to have as much of my Christmas shopping done THIS WEEKEND so I can then get my Christmas cards done.
