It's no secret that I do like to shop. Not necessarily buy when I shop, but I enjoy window shopping in all kinds of places. And one of the biggest thrills I get out of shopping believe it or not is a good deal. It's almost a GAME to me to find a great piece at a great price. Well that's what I'm talkin about today. A few things that I have in my closet that were good finds and steals that I've picked up along the way. Today, my coat … [Read more...]

Black Bar
This week I am 100% completely immersed in a home makeover project. I thought it wouldn't be a big deal, but it's bigger than I anticipated for sure. Not quite sure if it's because I haven't done it too often or what, but I guess I didn't realize the fumes and mess and displacement it would be for our whole crew. What kinda make-over? This space.... but today I'm specifically talking THIS space.... ... the bar. I shared … [Read more...]

Now, this is SUPER easy for me to say it's a … [Read more...]
Bold Beautiful Brows
Growing up, I always wanted to pluck my eyebrows. At the time, I felt I had been cursed with the bushiest biggest eyebrows a girl could have. My mom would not let me pluck them. She told me about how she plucked hers way back when, when the style was thin, and she regretted it. Plus, Brooke Shields was the hot beauty and fashion icon at the time, and she kept telling me how I had the same eyebrows. Well, needless … [Read more...]

Fashion Forward: Karolina Zmarlak
So often when boutiques have trunk shows, we get to meet the wonderful reps that take the clothing line to their stockists, but it isn't often that the designer herself makes the appearance with the clothing. Well last week, the young talented Karolina Zmarlak came to Oklahoma City for a trunk show at Liberte' in Classen Curve. And she was the coolest chic ever to meet! I loved hearing her describe her clothing to me... Her style very … [Read more...]
Over the Knee Boots
I think over the knee boots is probably THE buzz word when I think of boots for the fall and winter this season. Sooooo... being that I DO love shoes and boots (twist my arm already!), I splurged and got a pair by Joie from On A Whim that seemed to fit my "age" (so I was told by the people that I reside with! HA!) You might have seen em on a post I did not too long ago following the First Thursday's Fashion … [Read more...]
Shop Your Closet: Daily Grunge
Fall is finally underway, and with it comes chilly cloudy days, days we feel totally casual, not in the mood to dress up, but not in the mood to wear sweats, kinda rugged and grungy, but in a good way... That's how I felt with this chilly breezy weather. The flowyness of this ombre chic t-shirt was perfect for this kinda day. It's soft texture and neutral colors are what I love on days like this, and these neutral colors are what I'm always … [Read more...]

Drum Pendant Chandelier
Sometimes changing one thing up in a room can give a completely different look. It could be changing the furniture around. It could be removing something from the space. In this case, I'm adding to my space. I've done something like this before but changed it up instead of adding to it. You can see it HERE. I've had this fabulous light fixture from Luxe Objects now for about 6 … [Read more...]

Luxe Home Accessories
Yesterday I shared a bit of my home and had big issues... TV placement, wall tearing up or keeping as is, but I think what makes a room special are all the extras that was place in our space. On our coffee tables, in our bookshelves, on our sideboards and end tables. They're the little "sprinkles" for our room. Kinda like our jewelry is to a great outfit, these home accessories make our rooms sparkle just a bit more. I recently found some … [Read more...]
Built Ins Dilemma
I updated my kitchen several years ago, and because it's connected to my family room, the family room needed to follow. But it didn't. I need to paint the walls, change up the woodwork as well, and then of course the fluff will follow with furniture, window treatments and accessories. Here is why I have been dragging my feet and the issue I've been having. The built in for the TV. We built our house like 17 years … [Read more...]

It's a simple … [Read more...]
Shop Your Closet: White Jeans, Fall Not So Fall
Fall is my FAVORITE season of the year. I absolutely LOVE to wear beautiful coats, jeans, boots, and just the whole feeling of the crisp in the air. While we're in the month of October, it's yet to truly feel like fall. We might have had a day or two of cooler weather, but nothing to say it's here to stay. So what to wear on the days where we hit the upper 80's and then some? I pick neutrals in my closet in colors that will keep me cool. … [Read more...]
