I know, more fashion, but I can't contain myself! Seriously, Oklahoma put on the most AWESOME show ever, and I was so blessed to be a part of the whole event. And I'm breaking it down into chunks because simply there is so much to share and I'm just really highlighting for you a glimpse of the fabulous designers that made this fashion show what it was, showcasing their styles, their clothing, their art. So, bear with me and all the fashion … [Read more...]
Isabella Rose Taylor
How many 13 year old, college freshman do you know? Ones that also own their own company, a clothing line? Meet Isabella Rose Taylor who is just that. A beautiful, brilliant young lady I had the pleasure of spending some time with this past weekend for Oklahoma Fashion Week. I saw Isabella on the Today show several years ago and both my daughter and I were so intrigued and excited to see that talent and drive at such a young age. And having … [Read more...]
Oklahoma Fashion Week, Part 1
Oklahoma Fashion Week was a huge success and what an epic event it was! For all who came, you got to experience an afternoon and/or evening of fashion, art, culture, music and LIFE. What an awesome thing for our city to have. There is no reason why Oklahoma can't be as amazing as any other city, and it was proved this last week and weekend. {I call that being OP, On Purpose! wink!} So what went down? Well, the fashion show was broken down … [Read more...]
A Fashionable Friday
Most of you know I wear many hats. The biggest hat I wear is my mommy hat. That means juggling and prioritizing. But I also love fashion, which, when I heard about there being an Oklahoma Fashion Week, I was very excited to be a part of such a fun event and curious as well what it had in store for our great state and of course fashion! What is Oklahoma Fashion Week? It's a week filled with events sharing music, art, and of … [Read more...]
Zara Neoprene Dress
This isn't a #tbt Throwback Thursday post, but this fabric and this trend I'm seeing DOES make me think of styles from the past. Neoprene, or as I call it, stretchy bathing-suit type fabric. {wink} I'm seeing it everywhere, and if you haven't yet, you will. Especially for the coming warmer months. In geometric, obscure, and floral prints. Kinda lycra-ish I guess you could say, sucks you in, and kinda pulls you together. At first I was like … [Read more...]
Target Retro Striped Dress
You guys know by now I love knit dresses that I can throw on with some boots, flip flops, sandals, or in the case I'm going to show you today, heels. I think the reason why I love these easy going dresses so much is because they are so versatile. Dress them up, dress them down, they're comfy, easy to pack, and best of all, inexpensive! I call this a retro look because it reminds me of some things I had back in the … [Read more...]
The Boyfriend Shirt
Hot, cold, hot, cold, and today rain. As much as I'm DYING for the spring to show more of his face, today was a bit on the chillier side. Now, because my "work" can be from home, and the weather was as such, I had to pull out what I've been wearing lot's of this past winter. My husband's shirt. Seriously, for this outfit, all you need is a man in your household. And if you don't have a man, then you can shop the men's sale racks! For … [Read more...]
Nude Sandals
One of my staples to have in my shoe wardrobe is my nude sandal. Actually, the nude shoe for me is one that I gravitate to ALL the time, be it flat sandal, cage sandal, closed up bootie shoe, strappy sandal, I just am the believer that it belongs in every woman's wardrobe. Just like we need several black shoes, several black dresses? We need several nude shoes. Just sayin.... The selection I've chosen for you below is ideal with this seasons … [Read more...]
Sweet Meets Sport
The girls over at Coast to Coast Central have fashion challenges so I thought I'd jump on in this one, especially because I kinda do love mixing things up on my casual run around days. Today I put together elements of sports and casual along with some more feminine girlie things to come up with this look. Because I'm vertically challenged, my wedge sneakers ARE my first choice. But I wanted to make this even … [Read more...]
White Jeans and Pony Hair
Who said white jeans are just for summer? Not true. I paired up a pair of Target winter white jeans with a black "leather" stripe with this fun pony-hair sweatshirt. That sweatshirt is WAY thick and warm, so I saved this one for a brrrrrrr cold day! (Are you guys SICK of this coat yet??? Well, I gotta say, it has been my most FAVORITE buy of the season! I wear it ALL the time … [Read more...]
The Basic Black Dress… on SALE
A staple in every woman's wardrobe I think should be a basic black dress. There is a section in my closet actually JUST for my black dresses. It's one of those classic items that depending on how you accessorize it, you can wear it to almost anything. Pair it with fabulous jewelry, your shoes, your bag, the way you style your hair... the basic black dress is your classic canvas to do something as casual or as formal as your occasion calls … [Read more...]
The AWESOME Shop from Target
Two of my FAVORITE things... TOGETHER!! In case you didn't know, Target has created a site that has curated their most pinned items from Pinterest. BRILLIANT. Basically, its most popular items pinned get a spot in the shop! Um HELLO? Genius! Makes total sense, right??? It's like the marriage of the most amazing shopping/good stuff/fashion/trendy/style/domestic entities! {did you understand that at all???} So meet The Awesome … [Read more...]
Vintage and Fringe Fashion
Are you OVER this cold and snow or WHAT? I know being originally from Chi-town, I must say I DO love the snow and the cold as it reminds me of my childhood. I love to FEEL the seasons. Winter wouldn't feel like winter to me if we didn't have some snow, wear some fur, and bring out the warm boots. Even for just a little bit. I admit I love to FEEL winter. And today I enjoyed what I hope (and think) will be the last of our winter days. With … [Read more...]
Run Around Town Look
When I have errands to run, but nothing like "appointments" that I have to go to that require me to be "dressed up", I wanna look great and stylish, but at the same time comfy. I don't want to wear sweats, but I want to be casual. Jeans aren't always something I'm reaching for either. So my look has to be one that is cute, fun, comfy, easy going, relaxed, and have some style. Since my "work" is from home, it allows me have looks like this … [Read more...]
Hit Looks From the Grammy’s
First I want to begin by saying that I have never seen a Grammy's like I saw tonight.... the bringing together of music icons from past and "marrying them" (no pun intended) with the present day hit makers BLEW me out of the water! It wasn't just honoring a PAST artist for his outstanding work, but the PERFORMING of SUCH talent TOGETHER that BLEW me away. And the marrying thing? That in and of itself was SO moving, all I could say was … [Read more...]
Travel Style and Comfort
Two things here... well, really three. Travel, style, and the jogger pants. Remember those? The jogger pants? I kinda chatted a little bit about them HERE, and although most of mine are kinda cargo style, but not all are, and not all are silk, and I'm seeing them more and more of them here lately. Are you seeing them when you're out shopping? I know I am. So I was on a little getaway this weekend with the fam and a few other peeps.... … [Read more...]
50% off Outfit
I love to shop this time of year because everything is deeply discounted. I'm a sale gal. I hate to say it, but I gravitate to the sale rack FIRST and then I make my way to the full retail price. I feel EMPOWERED when I've gotten a good deal. I mean seriously, who doesn't love a great deal, right? So now that the holidays are over and the winter season begins to wrap up, it's a good time to pick up a few things on sale. So I put a few … [Read more...]
