You guys know one of my favorite hot spots for unique finds in home furnishings is a small place tucked away in one of the hip parts of Dallas called Dulce. This eclectic shop is a must visit each time I go to Dallas. The reason why I love this place is because I'll never find the same thing twice, they have things you can't find anywhere else, and frankly, it's all so unique it's just freaking awesome. Unique is key here. I think it's a … [Read more...]

Just like we need several black shoes, several black dresses? We need several nude shoes. Just sayin.... The selection I've chosen for you below is ideal with this seasons … [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...]
The Basic Black Dress… on SALE

You can see the discussions of it HERE and HERE, along with before pics. Because TODAY my friends, you get the AFTER!! So, needless to say, I ended up KEEPING the dark wood, as it was advised it's SUCH a classic thing, the wood IS an expensive thing to ruin if I paint it anything else, resale value of the house, … [Read more...]

Vintage and Fringe Fashion
Are you OVER this cold and snow or WHAT? I know being originally from Chi-town, I must say I DO love the snow and the cold as it reminds me of my childhood. I love to FEEL the seasons. Winter wouldn't feel like winter to me if we didn't have some snow, wear some fur, and bring out the warm boots. Even for just a little bit. I admit I love to FEEL winter. And today I enjoyed what I hope (and think) will be the last of our winter days. With … [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...]

Capes Part 2: I am superwoman.
A Friday fashion follow up to THIS and the wishy washy weather made me pull out my cape of 3 years for the FIRST time. I snipped the tags and wore it... and LOVED it! I will say... the only thing hard about a cape is carrying a SHOULDER bag, but I still made it work. It was doable. Mine is actually a deep charcoal wool and I wore the ever so coveted KISS T-shirt underneath from … [Read more...]
The Uniform Dress
Do you gravitate to one or two particular colors or pieces in your wardrobe? I do. For me, it's either browns or oatmeals and grays in different shades. Simple knit dresses that I can wear to travel, run to the store, meet a friend for lunch, have a business appointment are staples in my closet. I can dress them up or dress them down as much as I like with my accessories. Lately I've been thinking "less is more." You can see a glimpse of … [Read more...]

Accent Tables
A cute accent table is like having the perfect accessory, but with function as well. Love cute little accent tables tucked next to the right chair, the right corner, the right place. Here are some living areas I found on Pinterest that showed some beautiful accent tables being put to good use. These little accent tables are smaller than end tables and add a cute touch to … [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...]
Easy Breezy Outfit
Going from here to there, traveling by car, air conditioning, heat, humidity. Issues, right? What to wear on a day like that? Something easy breezy. Bottoms that are comfy, warm but not too hot, a lightweight top that is thin enough to not get hot in, but yet covered enough to keep you warm when you hit those highly air conditioned areas. Shoes? Something that slides off and on easy. What does that look like? Something like … [Read more...]
Animal Shoes
For me, there is no better neutral then animal. Gimme some leopard and I'll pair it with anything. A sprinkle of animal is a MUST! And today I'm sprinkling it in with some shoes. I've had these Tory Burch booties for about 3 years now, I THINK, maybe 4? and I wear them with EVERYTHING. Forget the basic brown or black, try any one of these with anything and everything. If you've never considered it, consider it now. And I … [Read more...]
