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...]
Design Elements: Mirrored Furnishings
There are some design elements I think that should be in every home. Whether there is something of this in every room or maybe just in some form or shape sprinkled here or there, I think mirrored furniture (even if it's a mirror on the wall) simply belongs. Usually done in accent pieces, either a side table, a nightstand, a buffet piece, a coffee table, even parts of your bed as you'll see, or something as simple as a mirror over the fireplace … [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...]
Coveting Coral
Coral is something I've always loved having a touch of here and there in my house. Something about it feels fresh… Donno if it's that nautical oceanic thing (I'm an ocean girl!) or what (I'm not a huge fan of nautical things, but this I love), but I've loved coral for several years now. It also adds that element of nature without adding greenery into the space. And the curves and branchiness I think balance the either curves or straight lines … [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...]
The W List, Gil’s and a Giveaway
Introducing... People, places, things that are WOW, WONDERFUL and since I'm the scout, these happen to be on WESTERN. {wink!} Today, I'm sharing with you one of Oklahoma's greats, Gil's. Since 1987, it's been one of Oklahoma City's go to shops for fun contemporary clothing, but what makes Gil's such a cool store it it's Denim Bar. Being known as THE denim store carrying premier brands, they are the go-to store in our state for those … [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...]
Basic Black and White
Classics are classics because they are just that. You can never go wrong by putting together some classic pieces and look stylish and look put together no matter what the occasion. Dress it up or down with your accessories and tweak it to your liking and your personal style. But in my opinion, a crisp white shirt and simple black skirt is one of my can't-go-wrong outfits every girl needs in her wardrobe. My key to take it from OK to WOW is 2 … [Read more...]
Spontaneous Decorating
Have you ever come across a FABULOUS find, and it's the perfect whatever for that perfect space, and you weren't even LOOKING for it? That's what I'm talkin about today. Decorating and finding these treasures when you least expect it. While I love big furniture stores and they do have beautiful things, I prefer to mix and match things to reflect my own style versus buying a "set" of some sort. I don't want to buy a "living room in a box"… … [Read more...]
A Stylin Friday
You've seen my posts this week about fashion (those of you who have been following me know I don't post about the same topic every day, but this was an unusual week)…. One person commented on Facebook that they didn't see much that was actually wearable. True! Many of the things are really not ready-to-wear, however many were. But the ones that were not, we should look at that fashion as another form of beautiful art. Wouldn't you agree? … [Read more...]

If you follow me on Facebook or any social media, you might have seen me in this halter radiant orchid dress floating around the past few days... … [Read more...]
Oklahoma Fashion Week, Part 2
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...]
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...]
I love you, deer.
I'm not much of a taxidermy gal. Something about the dead animal thing on my wall kinda freaks me out. But I AM a lover of some recreated animal heads…. especially if they're sparkly and gold! …. I came across this CUTEST print from the darling Amanda at All Things Pretty... You guys know I have been polishing up my office, trying to make it my "girl cave" (leaving the dark wood in tact as much as I could), so when … [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 Nude Nail with a Party
I've been gradually moving out of the dark into the nudes. I've been into the nudes lately, as you might already know if you've been keeping up with me. {wink!} I mean THIS, silly friends! Today I'm talkin nails. I have my basics that I wear over and over on a seasonal basis, and I'm moving to the nudes. I'm not a huge red nail lover on myself because I can't stand the moment I get a chip. Just me. It drives me nuts, so I prefer the nude … [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...]
