When in doubt, you can never go wrong with a little black dress. It's no secret I love the LBD and I've written about it several times, including THIS one that I loved last spring. So what separates a black dress from the rest of them? It's all in the details. From the trim to hemlines to fabrics to embroidery, there are lots of ways a simple black dress can be anything but simple. Having a LBD in your closet with some bit of detail can … [Read more...]
What To Wear: The Bold and The Beautiful
On a recent out of town trip I "acquired" some mix and match pieces at one of my favorite places we don't have in my hometown of Oklahoma City. That would be Zara. Every time I go away to a place where there's a Zara, a visit is a must. I find fabulous pieces that are trendy, stylish, sleek, and go from day to night, casual to professional. So I found a few pieces I could definitely wear separate but for sure loved the … [Read more...]
LBD: Black Twist Dress and Statement Boots
You guys know one of my favorite things in a closet is a little black dress (LBD). So when I come across one that I LOVE, well, I just must show you! I was recently in CK and Company and these two pieces caught my eye in a huge way... This lightweight jersey black twist dress from Helmut Lang has just enough detail on it with a twisted knot in the front and the unfinished criss cross layering across the front hem. It's a simple … [Read more...]
Gifting Guide: Coffee Table Books
Coffee table books in my opinion make fantastic gifts. I've gotten several in the past and I LOVE em. Partly because they reflect something about ME (the gals bought books they knew I'd love), and partly because they help beautify my home. Beautiful books are simply lovely. (images via Pinterest) (image via me) If there is someone on your list that you might not know … [Read more...]
Black and Gold
One of my favorite color combos that exists is black and gold. Love it for the home. Love it in bags. Love it on shoes. Love it on clothes. Love it everywhere. And getting dressed up in a black and gold dress is classic and timeless I think anytime of year. Here's my take on a great dress from a super local retailer, Rakota Remington. I shared my love for this GREAT shop HERE. I had to wear shoes that weren't the "look good but can't … [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...]
It was love at first sight.
This was the first thing in front of me as I was leaving the corridors of the mall restroom.... It was like "FEAST YOUR EYES ON THIS!!!" I about DIED! It attracted me like a magnet to metal and I gravitated to the GOLD letters, not to mention huge PRADA sign on the right display window. This new store, only open for a few weeks in Oklahoma City is going to be THE store to see. I can promise you that! And if you don't live in Oklahoma City, … [Read more...]
Color Blocking
Something you will see all over this season... COLOR. You will see me talk about color lots in the coming weeks ahead. I noticed early this year when I went to Target and they were starting to hang decorative props from the ceiling that were all these vibrant colors. The next thing I noticed were some of those same props on their ads on TV. Yup. Color had made its arrival. Not only that, color blocking, where contrasting colors are put … [Read more...]
