Sometimes less is more. And sometimes glam needs to be glam. But not always does glam have to be complicated. I recently had a formal evening out and wanted a glam sleek look. Of course as overly abundantly scheduled I've been lately, booking a hair and makeup appointment was something I looked over. And I will say that I've been blessed by an amazing mom who was in beauty for over 40 years. I grew up as a little girl in awe of her beauty … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: Ambrosia in a Glass
Today's concoction is a dessert in the form of a cocktail. We all know that famous frothy fruity salad, right? Why not make that a drink? Well that's what this is. Kinda sorta! I'm in the mood for something a little more fun than just the swanky martini type drinks I've been serving up and this fits the bill. Not only that, with the weather we're experiencing, I really don't know if I should be thinking spring yet or keep it still winter. … [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...]

I need a grown up night to celebrate, with adults, with cocktails. I've been working my hiney off, and I feel the need to dress up, get some high heels on, and have some fun.

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...]
