It's not everyday that someone special in your life turns 80. Well, this past weekend, my sweet daddy did just that. And we hosted a surprise breakfast/luncheon for him at church, where he was surrounded by family and friends who adore him and a place he feels like is his second home. So being all "church dress up" and a family birthday, this paisley dress fit the bill. From Free People, it's simple, stylish, conservative, but not stiff. I … [Read more...]
What To Wear: Cold and Casual
Meet Oklahoma weather. Amidst rain and earthquakes, we have sleet and ice storms. Yup. No major inches of snow that last for weeks. Just icicles dripping from leaves and branches of trees. While it's beautiful to see this winter wonderland of Frozen come to life, it's not so fun when we're stuck inside because the freezing temps make the roads treacherous. And after a few days of living in pj's, enough is enough! So getting out to run … [Read more...]

Decorating With Ornaments
Decorating for the holidays doesn't have to be complicated or expensive. One of my favorite ways of sprinkling some holiday spirit around the house is decorating with ornaments in glass containers. I simply buy different sizes of like colored bulbs and place them in a monochrome scheme throughout the house. On my island, on my kitchen table, as an accent in a bookcase, it's simple and an inexpensive way to turn existing containers into … [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...]

Episode after episode we watched him transform people's homes and turn them from chaos to simple yet elegant living spaces. Recently, Architectural Digest shared photos from the home he shares with his husband Jeremiah Brent, and those of us who appreciate Nate's style weren't disappointed. Just as Nate did with so many people that … [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...]
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...]
Celebrity Style: Lauren Conrad
I love to get a sneak peek into the homes of celebrities. Part because a girl can dream, and part because it always gives me inspiration to try something perhaps similar in my home. Not to the scale maybe that these big namers have but just if I can somehow get some sort of ideas to try for myself. It's been a while but I've shared some famous closets and homes in the past and I might be doing some more of that moving forward. It's always fun … [Read more...]
