I love to talk about building "wardrobes" and classic pieces that have style but yet are timeless. The little black dress is a must have, and I've talked about that before. But what about the LBJ {wink}. I'm talking about a black jumpsuit. Jumpsuits have made a big comeback, but it's something I've loved forever. In fact, I'm embarrassed to say, the piece I'm wearing today I've had in my closet way before the past few years. But like I've … [Read more...]
Hollywood Regency Decor
I'll never forget a wedding I went to in Palm Springs and we stayed at the Viceroy. This was when I was prego with my son, which is about 11 years ago. Take a look at the room we were in. They look the same today as they did then… Prior to that trip, I always into Country French and loved antiques (I still do love great old pieces), but I couldn't help fall in love with the clean lines and just the simplicity and "Hollywood" it felt … [Read more...]
To Line Or Not To Line
When I'm working from home and don't have many people to see, I keep things pretty casual, and with that goes my makeup. I don't do the full eye shadows and major lips (well, I do usually do up my lips… but I'm a nude girl, remember? I got chatty about it here and here…), but sometimes I line my lids and sometimes I don't. What's the difference? No lined lids… keeping things simple…. A little bit of wing … [Read more...]
Traveling? Look At These Bags
Anyone who knows me knows I call myself the "bag whore." I am not kidding you. Bags are my thing. For some women it's shoes, and yes, I can't say I don't love shoes, but there's something about wearing a great bag that I love. I can't have enough. … being my authentic self here… I've gotten messages from people saying I need help (I kid you not!), none needed, thanks! HA! But I look at them as fabulous accessories that have a form and … [Read more...]

Unique Finds: Free People Skirt
I was recently talking to a friend about my style… both for the home and for my wardrobe. So I thought I'd share one of my philosophies on shopping. Because I think I'm a self proclaimed expert at this shopping thing. {wink!} I recently came across this INCREDIBLE amazing skirt from Free People on one of my recent visits to Nordstrom Rack. I wasn't looking for a skirt, especially a pink, fluffy, tulle cotton candy skirt. … [Read more...]

Medical Concierge Services
Medical concierge. A medical concierge? What's that? First, anything with the word "concierge" in it gets my attention. Well, when I learned of this fantastic little service and how amazing it is, you know I had to blast it to my peeps. Earlier this summer I had paid a visit to the good Dr for one of my kiddos, and it had been a while since we saw him. One of the great things about parenting and raising kids is that they eventually stop … [Read more...]
Country Club Plaza Shopping Wearing Western Ave Faves
My favorite things in life are those that are spontaneous. And last week, we decided very last minute to take a trip up to Kansas City to see some family and see the sights since we had a nice four day weekend ahead of us. Growing up, I remember fondly visiting The Plaza, especially during the holidays. It is one of the most beautiful sights to see, so if you ever have an opportunity to travel between Thanksgiving and the New Year, you should … [Read more...]
Hairless, Healthy and Fabulous
I recently saw a post come thru my Facebook feed from a sweet friend of mine, Priscilla "Prissy", sharing with us that she just got diagnosed with breast cancer. Amidst a big transition in their lives, a big move from Paris to the US, new jobs, and a mother of 3 little ones, 10, 4, and 1, this came their way. And not JUST breast cancer, but an aggressive form of breast cancer. My heart sank with a feeling like SERIOUSLY? This CAN'T be? This … [Read more...]
