Our heads are spinning for ideas for Mother's day, which is less than a week away, and I'm always FULL of wonderful ideas of what I know I'd love (other than no back talk, listen to me, and just let me have some peace and quiet! LOL!). From the beauties at Luxe Objects... bracelets for layering…. cute little dishes to put beside her bed or sink to put the bracelets … [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...]

Designer and blogger Oh Joy! just launched a collection in collaboration with one of my TRUEest of loves, Target, to celebrate spring. Party and celebration "ware" in these fresh and festive colors, these beauties make me WANT to have a party! It launched March 16th, and I had it on my calendar, … [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...]
Essentials Shopping Simplified
As I was coming up for the title of my post all I could think of were some key phrases... Calgon Take Me Away Shopping's Best Kept Secret A Lifesaver of a Website Where Were You All This Time .... does that give you any indication as to how wonderful this site has been for me? Am I talking about fabulous shoes? No. Designer purses? Nope. Gorgeous jewelry? Nah. How bout a place that will give me the BEST hair and nail tips? Not … [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...]

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...]
Randomness
Because those of you who know me know that's how I roll, right? Off the wall and random? .... Is everyone overwhelmed this time of year or is it just me? The Mister has said to me so many times, "Why don't we forget all the gifts with all our families and lets just have a big fancy dinner somewhere and that's it?" Well, that never happens. And there is NO way I get my s**t done MONTHS in advance. Being done with my shopping in the fall? … [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...]

A Tulsa native, she has a keen eye for style, and prior to opening her boutique, she did interior design work. But her love of clothes and fashion took over her passions, so she decided to pursue her dream of having her own … [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...]
Five From Target
I'm obsessing over these five things from Target this week. Some little details that are awesomeness about these... that glass on that table is SMOKEY as in HOT! {big grin}, those little specs you see on the glasses, those are gold dots, and the pillow has amaaaaaazing black little beads on it. DIVINE! Love all these little beauties that will add some special touches to your home without breaking the bank. All of … [Read more...]
Zara in Greece and Fish
I'd like to call this a Flashback Friday post because I'm thinking back to some recent days of shopping in the mother land. And because now that my kids school has begun, it's back to routine and the daily grind of life. Ahhhhh, the reminiscing of days of travel are good feelings, so I plan on sprinkling a bit of that here and there as an escape. After all, who doesn't need an escape every once in a while, right? And being that we all love … [Read more...]

Hidden Gems
You never know what you're going to find when you go antiquing. We happened to head down the road, literaly for a mini-spring break extended weekend getaway. One of the first things on my list of requests was to find things we cannot find. Hidden treasures in places one of a kind. I'm talking consignment shops, antique shops, places out of the normal box shops. I want to share some shots that I would have never dreamed of finding in an … [Read more...]
Ready, Set, SHOP!
As I think of the day after Thanksgiving as that day is VERY near, I think of HEARDS of CRAZY people who are up at the most insane hours of the night to get the best deals before the holidays. So, in honor of the INSANITY, I thought I'd post a little WHAT TO WEAR when youre out to BATTLE, to fight the crowds to get the DEAL of the century.
