So my kids were home this week... Long story, our school hosted a big huuuuge arts festival, with 3500 kids here from other schools. So school was out all week in preparation for this major event. Thank you second spring break, getting dentist done, trying to be productive while being disrupted, but it's all good. Needless to say, momma needs a drink. Survival mode. And in case you're wondering why I haven't been blogging QUITE as much … [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...]
Fuzzy Friday: The Thunderstorm
Being in Oklahoma and that spring is upon us, I find it only appropriate that The Thunderstorm is a cocktail we need to have. One, because it's part of our daily conversations, two, we actually may need one of these to help us get through our hormonal weather, and three, we say things like Hook Echo and Wall Cloud on a regular basis. People in other states most likely would have NO clue what we're talking about. The … [Read more...]

It's totally done in a very traditional style. I don't seem to think David Bowie had it styled like this, but … [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...]

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.

So today I wanted to give you a simple style tip that I do often. It can work … [Read more...]
