Hello loves! It's been a while since you've heard from me over here, as I've been busy hustling over at Honestly Margo, and it's a wonderful thing, but I've missed you!

I'm excited to show you how to wear animal print. Why am I saying this is so easy to … [Read more...]

Wear This: Floral and Straw
Mother's day to me is the pivotal time that my dressing begins to shift into summer mode. This is the point where I shift to my brighter colors and lighter fabrics. It's also the time that the weather begins to shift to warmer temperatures and that means lighter fabrics with a summer feel. Bring in florals... and straw. Yes! Florals are in this year in a major way. Big prints, small prints, in all kinds of colors in all kinds of ways. … [Read more...]
Wear This- Pencil Skirts and Bomber Jackets
Even though fall isn't officially here, I'm beginning to think about fall and fashion and what my wardrobe will entail. Two things I think are must haves and are things we're going to see lots of are pencil skirts and bomber jackets. Pencil skirts aren't anything new this season. They've been around for several years, but they're so flattering and so slenderizing, it's something to have in your closet. Wear … [Read more...]
Beverly Feldman: Too Much Is Not Enough
Too much is not enough. That is the motto of Beverly Feldman, shoe designer and icon of over 40 years, and more fabulous now than ever. I've worn her shoes for years, and to be quite honest, I can't part with them. My absolute favorite you can see here from this post from the summer... It's the detail in all her work that makes her shoes so special. Not only are they so comfortable, but they all have some special … [Read more...]

Fashion Trend: Rompers and Gladiators
Finally, gladiators. I can remember wearing my gladiators 2 years ago and literally getting stares like I came from some other planet. Now, I'll be one of many sporting this look, because for me, nothing has changed. I still love em. This pair is a snake print, which to me seems a bit interesting and even a bit more "for my age" perhaps? Pair them with shorts. All kinds of shorts. Black shorts, jean shorts, white shorts. Today, I've … [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...]

Rocksbox Baubles
Wouldn't it be so nice if there was a try before you buy system set up for all of your pretty sparkly things? I mean let's face it. Trends come and go and we want to stay up with what's the hottest styles, and yet know what goes with what we have. And the biggest part is as these trends shift, our money we spent is then gone and those pieces seem old. As in, "last season". I mean having what's hot and what's NOW without spending that extra … [Read more...]
Shop Your Closet: Casual Diva
There are definitely clothes that make us feel certain ways and influence our moods and confidence. I always prefer to wear things that bring out my inner she-ra, even if it's casual for the day. That is definitely what this outfit did for me. If you want to know what to wear to feel like a diva, take a look at this. I pulled a cape I had purchased several years ago from a home show with some Charles David over the knee boots I got a steal … [Read more...]

Ponchos have never been a huge thing for me but I do think they look pretty great so I thought I'd try one out.

They have a cherry picked selection of clothes, fun gifts, even a … [Read more...]
Shop Your Closet: Edgy Casual
I was recently out and about in one of my favorite shops in Oklahoma City, CK and Company, and came across this new line they are carring, Pam and Gela. The girls who brought us Juicy Couture bring us this hip line. It was totally my style. Fun, edgy, contemporary pieces that are super casual for the way I live. I'm a mom, a boss chic of sorts, and I work from home. So when I want to feel comfy but look hip, this is a perfect go-to line for … [Read more...]

When I find brands with great style, I love to keep up with them. And when they are things so many of us ladies could use and wear and love, how can I not share it with the world! So today is a #TBT to earlier this month when I got to visit with Elizabeth, owner of Jolie. We connected in Atlanta market in January when I was there helping Honestly Margo with her business. Both Margo and I were obsessed with the loveliness … [Read more...]

It wasn't long ago that I shared my absolute favorite leggings from Abi Ferrin from R.Meyers. In case you missed it, you can see it HERE.

I can look super fabulous for less formal occasions... like travel. When it comes to travel I like to have three things part of my look: I have … [Read more...]
