Hi loves! Sorry for the hiccup yesterday.... I had planned on sharing with you what an INCREDIBLE night I had with Dear Daughter after our event was over, but there was no internet connection en route home. #technologyissues. So anyhoo, I thought I'd share with my five things (that might turn into a few more, because I can be long winded at times... just sayin... right?). 1. Moments of a lifetime.... So you guys know my 12 year old is in … [Read more...]
Ombre Hair
I know you've seen these locks around. Ombre is SO hot right now from clothing to nails and of course the obvious, hair. I personally LOVE it. My thought is that it looks better lightly tousled like these images versus all straight. Sometimes if the ombre color is too severe, I'm not quite the fan just because I think it can make the hair look dirty. But I love the look of that gradual dark to blonde. Love love love … [Read more...]
Guacamole Sisterhood
I hardly ever talk about what I do for a job, but after tonight's meeting, I couldn't help but share what a great environment I'm in and a part of. Tonight I had the pleasure of getting together with the ladies that I work with. We've known each other for about 7 years are like family. The "feeling" of work is the farthest thing from our minds when we're together. Our "work" lifts us up and supports and nurtures. It's non-competitive, … [Read more...]
I resolve to…
Good morning all! Today is the first Monday of 2013. Monday's usually mean, "Today, I'm going to start ______." Right? And being the FIRST one of the year? Means really buckling down if you are setting resolutions for yourself. That is, IF you are setting resolutions ... you don't have to! The number one New Year's Resolution people make is to lose weight. And yet about 80% have failed by the end of January. Isn't that crazy? I will … [Read more...]

Louis OP Style and New Years Good Luck Charm
I opened up my email today to see this... Dear friend Kecia rang in the new year in PARIS (yes we all wanna be her!!!) and as she and her GI JOE hubby were taking a stroll through the streets, this dancing cuddly couture bear caught their eye, especially his (she trained him well!). At first glance I thought, COOL!!! A polar bear on display with a Louis Vuitton bag, all surrounded by dripping leaves of gold foil. But take a closer … [Read more...]
Opposites Attract
Hello 2013!!! I unplugged yesterday on New Years Day just to have a little chillaxin time... and I thought many of you lovies might be doing much of the same, maybe one more day in your pjs, maybe getting a little EXTRA shopping sale fix (because lawd there is MORE of that goin on). So here we are TODAY as my official FIRST POST of 2013! Whoop whoop! Project mudroom is NEARLY complete, as I have a few details left, like window treatment and … [Read more...]

Five Things Friday
Sometimes I think I have so much going on in my brain that I need to dedicate a date to just spill it all out... if I can do it in five things, GREAT! Will every Friday be a Five Thing Friday? Not sure, but it has been seeming that way, hasn't it? So here we go! 1. I have no clue what day of the week it is. With Christmas falling sometime midweek, every day feels like some kind of a Saturday and frankly, I feel like doing much of nothing. … [Read more...]
What a relief.
Christmas is over. Done. All the prep, all the gifts, all the decorating, all the parties, done. Finito. AND we're all still alive (the end of the world didn't quite hit us yet). Here are a few of the treats I got from Santa... coat / bag and these that are PRICELESS... The canvas print my daughter made for me, the pot holder and holiday art my son made for me, THOSE are the best. I can't complain one bit. Finally. I got it done. … [Read more...]
