They're back. What goes around, comes around. And that certainly is true with fashion trends. I remember not only myself wearing these but my mom too. With Polo shirts, back in the late 70's, early 80's. Who remembers that? I have to say that personally, I am loving wide leg pants as a spring trend that hangs a while. Wearing a more tailored shaped top balances out the flare on the lower half of the body while accentuating the waistline. … [Read more...]

Most of you know I wear many hats. I have this blog, I help run my daughter's company, Honestly Margo, I'm a mom of 2 (not just her!), wife, and lots of other things that are brewing that go along with all of the above (which you just have to keep in touch with me to know what all of those might be!). So when Udånder invited me to come spend an afternoon with them to get pampered and escape, it was something that called … [Read more...]

Statement Shoes
Do you ever feel we wear the same styles and same types of thing over and over again? I certainly do, I call it my "uniform". Bring on nudes, blush, heather grey, browns, black, and while. Yup. Same ole thing. And I really don't have an issue with it to be honest because it's what I like for myself. But I always am attracted to wow statement pieces. Well, last week I had a fabulous (not kidding, that IS for reals!) event I was so honored … [Read more...]
Shop Your Closet: Spring Neutrals
If you've followed me for any amount of time, you know I like to buy some choice pieces of clothing that have style, but are timeless. So I recently pulled out this Nicole Miller military jacket I bought at Ruth Meyers (now R. Meyers) in Oklahoma City, I kid you not, I want to say 10 years ago. Yup. It was a short little thing, and I also got a silky sheer blouse that has some fun pleats at the bottom that hang down below the bottom of the … [Read more...]
Let’s Be Like Flowers…
Thinking about spring.... Can I get an "ahhhhhhhh"? Spring for me represents freshness, newness, a rebirth, growth and new energy. I thought I'd let the flowers in bloom bring us our source of inspiration as I think about the season of spring an what it represents... Truth, right? Just be the flower you were meant to be and just BLOOM. Forget about what everyone else is doing and comparing and competing. The flowers … [Read more...]
Spring Breakin
As I'm getting into the thick of spring break with my family, I wanted to keep things real here. Spring break began last week and we actually did end up taking a little out-of-town venture to spend time with family. One of the most beautiful people I had the honor of calling aunt left our earth, and we traveled to be with family and to celebrate this matriarch's life. Which put some things into perspective for me.... (... The Mister … [Read more...]

Shop Your Closet: Spring Stripes
One of this spring's trends is stripes. We're seeing it everywhere, so I decided to pull out one of my striped dresses I've had for a while and couldn't part with it for several reasons. I love the detail on the shoulders and the side little tie. Second, it's pretty much a classic style, and it's Marc Jacobs. So I thought, if it's a classic, keep it. And so I did. All the better because I get to share this old thing of mine with some other … [Read more...]
Matouk Luxury Linens at Luxe Objects
Our bedrooms sometimes can be one of the most overlooked places in our homes. Yet, it's probably one of the most important ones. It's where we rest and sleep and it's our private place of solitude and retreat. Unless, of course, we have workout equipment with laundry hanging on it! (just kidding! but those of you know who you are!) Having your bedding done just to your liking with amazing coverlets, duvet covers and sheets in thread counts … [Read more...]
