Bring on the 100 degree heat. Bring on the long summer days. As long as I have my pico dress, I'm set!

What To Wear: Halston Heritage Fit and Flare
I recently went back home, home as in my young childhood home to Chicago, where a huge part of my big fat Greek family resides, for a big fat Greek wedding. And like most families, I'm sure you'll agree that the two places you get to see EVERYONE is weddings and funerals. So, thankfully, I was there for a wedding and wanted to look my absolute best, especially knowing I hadn't seen some of these people in 30 years. Of course we always want to … [Read more...]

Fall Fashion: The Shirtdress and Booties
We've got August under swing, and that means fall is just about here, even though it's still technically summer. With back to school underway, kids in different areas slowly making their way to the classrooms, I'm thinking we need to start talking Fall Fashion. Because it's going to be here before we know it.

What To Wear: Weekend Shopping for Sales
With the long holiday weekend coming up, lots of us will be be-bopping around town shopping, either where we live or even out of town. Finding great shopping districts is like finding special hidden gems, and with major sales this time of year, it's a win win for me. And this time of year, shopping for sales and good deals are a must! We all know I love me some sundresses, but being summertime, I'm thinking shorts are part of the summer … [Read more...]

Sweets On The Side

Matouk Luxury Linens at Luxe Objects
Our bedrooms sometimes can be one of the most overlooked places in our homes. Yet, it's probably one of the most important ones. It's where we rest and sleep and it's our private place of solitude and retreat. Unless, of course, we have workout equipment with laundry hanging on it! (just kidding! but those of you know who you are!) Having your bedding done just to your liking with amazing coverlets, duvet covers and sheets in thread counts … [Read more...]

Spring is around the corner, right? Please someone say YES. It surely HAS to be! I'm dreaming of it to come sooner than later, and I think it's time, already, don't you?

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.

Shop Your Closet: Simplicity with Details
One of the things I look for when I shop are distinctive details that make a basic piece not so basic. Such is the case when I came across these fabulous pieces. I snatched up the last one of this sweater by Christopher Fischer at Liberte' in Oklahoma City. We're so used to these large oversized and flowy tops with leggings that the slim line of this cashmere piece appealed to me. But what I loved more was the detail of the sheer shoulders. … [Read more...]
