I think so many women who want kids love the thought of having a little girl. There's something about having a little girl to dress up and fix her hair. God blessed me with a good one 13 years ago... my mini-me. And has she ever been a ball! Parenting has it's challenges for sure, but it's one of the most rewarding things I've experienced and done in my life. And keeping it all together is something I try to do as best as I can, and look my … [Read more...]

Medical Concierge Services
Medical concierge. A medical concierge? What's that? First, anything with the word "concierge" in it gets my attention. Well, when I learned of this fantastic little service and how amazing it is, you know I had to blast it to my peeps. Earlier this summer I had paid a visit to the good Dr for one of my kiddos, and it had been a while since we saw him. One of the great things about parenting and raising kids is that they eventually stop … [Read more...]
Country Club Plaza Shopping Wearing Western Ave Faves
My favorite things in life are those that are spontaneous. And last week, we decided very last minute to take a trip up to Kansas City to see some family and see the sights since we had a nice four day weekend ahead of us. Growing up, I remember fondly visiting The Plaza, especially during the holidays. It is one of the most beautiful sights to see, so if you ever have an opportunity to travel between Thanksgiving and the New Year, you should … [Read more...]

Herve Leger is a brand known for its classic pieces that don't go out of style, and also for the sexy form fitting ribbed fabric that shows off women's curves in all the right places.

Striped Swing Dress and a Winner
Having a little striped dress in the closet is one of those conservative looks you can wear anywear. A classic without it being "black and white" again.

Google Glass and Wearable Technology
What do you think about all this wearable technology? First let me say… I remember when the first cell phone came out.. OMG looking back on those what MONSTERS they were… Who remembers that? I think it all began with headgear and headpieces operators used to wear. Remember those? Do they still make them? I wore them when I was a financial planner WAAAAAAY back in the day! LOL! But fast forwarding now to today's times… and how … [Read more...]
Hot Pink and Mint
Yesterday I talked about a staple for our closet, the white jean. Just one of many ways to wear it, today I've paired it with a fun new top from BuddyLove and Bow and Arrow. You guys have seen my uniform, so many grey's, neutrals, browns, that this definitely shouted out HAPPINESS and cheer to me. This top instantly made me smile and instantly brought on cheer. It's not neon, but it's not subdued… a perfect color for the … [Read more...]
Poolside to Partyside
When it comes to summer, the thing I think most of is travel… and with that comes packing and my wardrobe. I know I'm the WORST when it comes to packing light. I'm NOT going to deny it. I want to bring extra stuff "JUST IN CASE"… you guys know what I'm talkin about, right??? yah….. uh huh…. you do it too! {wink!} So finding something that can be worn day to night is always a fun thing. I did an outfit like that in Paris for last year, "from … [Read more...]
Jeweled Up Messy Bun
Those of us with medium to long hair have one thing in common I think… We have the ability to go a few days without washing our hair, throw it up, and it's A-OK. And these bejeweled beauties I came across the other day at On A Whim gave me yet another reason to skip a day of washing my hair. First, if you haven't been to On A Whim in Classen Curve, you don't know what you're missing. Started by 2 girlfriends out of their homes way back when … [Read more...]
Blue Simplicity
Having pieces in your closet that are classic that can go for church, a graduation party, a luncheon, a shower are things I love to look for so that when one of those occasions come up, I'm always armed and ready with that perfect piece in my closet. That's what I thought of when I saw this blue dress from Gil's. It is simple, the lines on it are classic, but the fun curved front on the skirt makes it a bit … [Read more...]
Lady In Red
If you've been following me for some time now, you probably have figured out my love of stylish, fashionable, sophisticated classics. Don't confuse classics with boring. There is NOTHING boring about what I'm sharing today! You've seen me share a few ideas on the LBD here, well, today, RED is the new BLACK! Meet the LRD or the little red dress {wink!}. Red seems to be a kind of "va-va-voom" color, and I felt VERY "va-va-voom" in this dress … [Read more...]
#WesternAveOKC #WesternAveScout
Don't be fooled if you don't recognize the number. Answer your calls. Because this is what happened to me. For real. I get this call a few weeks ago and the area code was not 405, nor was it one that I knew my family resided in, so I was like, hmmmmm… a solicitor. Screening it. Nope. Not gonna take it. Then I was like, just answer it. So I did. The lady asked for me, and I, on the defensive said, "who is calling????" and she sweetly … [Read more...]
S’mores Waffles
You read that right. S'mores waffles. I didn't come up with this one. Actually, I heard this at the salon last week as I was getting my hair cut and colored (and as my mom would say as I was growing up, "I heard it at the beauty shop!"). The gal next to me was saying she was at the Arts Council Festival of the Arts the night before and had the MOST amazing s'mores waffles. My ears PERKED up. I'm like whaaaaaaaaa? ya. I said, "sorry not … [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...]
Transition Weather Wear
Most can agree that where I live, in Oklahoma City, mother nature lately has seemed like a woman going thru severe PMS, if not THE CHANGE. One day we have freezing temperatures, snow on the ground, and less than a week later we have weather warm enough for shorts. REALLY? Well, today mother nature seemed wishy washy. What do we wear when we seem to be in limbo? I call it "transition wear". I paid a visit to sweet Courtney at Bow and Arrow … [Read more...]

Small Business Saturday
Amidst all the hype of Black Friday, an influx of emails of SALE mail, and now this new Brown Thursday (which is a NEW term, where stores open on Thursday (yes ON Thanksgiving), and are literally open a full 24 hours to get a head start on Black Friday... Something that makes me sad for the employees when they could be with their families... ), (SERIOUSLY PEOPLE????) I find it very REFRESHING to enjoy the likes of keeping it local and shopping … [Read more...]
