Holidays aren't only about the gifts. But the gifts do make it kinda fun, I must say. Don't you agree? So I've come up with a little formula to make holiday gift shopping simple. After all, if it's stressful, it's not going to be fun. So here's my simple formula for finding gifts. It's not rocket science, but it's finding those things in the sweet spot, in the center where the two circles overlap. So, with that being … [Read more...]
What To Wear: Dressing Up When It’s Cold Outside
Dressing up in the cold isn't my favorite. I do love to dress up but I don't enjoy being cold. So I pulled together the fun Nicole Miller swing dress, perfect for us curvy girls and so popular this year, with tights and booties. Keep my legs WARM! I'm also really loving simple colors and monochromatic schemes. So the grays and blacks all flow together. The winter white coat pops, and I think everyone needs a white coat for the winter … [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...]
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...]
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...]
What To Wear: Halston Heritage Fit and Flare
I recently went back home, home as in my young childhood home to Chicago, where a huge part of my big fat Greek family resides, for a big fat Greek wedding. And like most families, I'm sure you'll agree that the two places you get to see EVERYONE is weddings and funerals. So, thankfully, I was there for a wedding and wanted to look my absolute best, especially knowing I hadn't seen some of these people in 30 years. Of course we always want to … [Read more...]
What To Wear: Fringe Skirt and Geometric Prints
Traveling and feeling sassy all in one sweep, and definitely what we wear plays a role in how we feel. So going back to my hometown of Chicago, I wanted to be Miss Sassypants while scoping out the city.

I had to throw on one of this seasons hottest … [Read more...]
What To Wear: Fur and Flares
To me, fall is synonymous with jeans. Jeans and boots. Jeans and sweaters. Jeans and vests. Jeans pretty much are our staple. And just because jeans are jeans are jeans, not all jeans are the same. Straight leg, skinny, torn up, and now we're seeing the comeback of the bootcut and flare. And pair that with the cooler weather, bring on the furs, especially vests. Glistening in the sun, feeling casual and … [Read more...]
Fall Fashion: Ripped Jeans and The Duster
When it comes to Oklahoma weather, the one think I can say that most of us would agree on is that our weather is unpredictable. This weekend we were SUPPOSED to have a cool front come thru. Did you see it? Or did I blink? Ya. That's about how it goes. Well, I'm so excited that one of the things we're seeing lots of this fall is the duster. Call it a long flowy cardigan, a long sweater, but it's the perfect layering … [Read more...]
Beverly Feldman: Too Much Is Not Enough
Too much is not enough. That is the motto of Beverly Feldman, shoe designer and icon of over 40 years, and more fabulous now than ever. I've worn her shoes for years, and to be quite honest, I can't part with them. My absolute favorite you can see here from this post from the summer... It's the detail in all her work that makes her shoes so special. Not only are they so comfortable, but they all have some special … [Read more...]
