Today as we celebrate with hot dogs, beer, fireworks, and all American everything, I wanted to take a moment to say… Happy 241th birthday, America. Listen, we’ve been going through some thangs lately and I know that some days are tough on you… on all of us. Despite that we’re still here: dreaming, building, growing, evolving……

Dressed in Holiday Style
“City sidewalks, busy sidewalks, dressed in holiday style…. in the air there’s a feeling of Christmas.” It’s here y’all, Christmas is officially here….and less than a week away!!!! It’s been quite the season for me this year: deciding to train for/run a marathon in the middle of my favorite season was probably not one of…
Halloween 2016: Mary Poppins and Chewbacca
This year I endlessly tried to convince my very opinionated seven year old that its still “cool” to do family halloween costumes, but she wasn’t having any of it. She said she was going to be Chewbacca and unless I was partaking in her Star Wars costume party, I was on my own. Failed bribe…
Just Below the Knee
For the longest time, I fought the idea that the sixties is my favorite fashion epoch. It’s the era when skirts were worn below the knees, dresses and suits were tailored, and the heels were high but not 5 and 6 inches above the ground high (as is somehow an acceptable heel height today among some…
Laugh-O-Lanterns
So here’s what happened with our “friends” from the other night: A hike to the lake on Sunday morning to have a sunday morning picnic. Joined by my ever so gorgeous baby sister. I love the way she laughs. She just has the most contagious laughter. Have you ever met someone like this? Do you…
Hello October
Okay guys: It’s now October, the weather finally changed (yay!), and there are pumpkins everywhere. It’s officially Fall. “This is Halloween! This is Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!” (Name that movie!) It’s pumpkin picking’ time! Autumn is my absolute favorite season of the calendar. The weather change, the wardrobe change, the attitude change…it gives a…
Stray Cat Struttin’
I can’t say I’ve ever truly considered myself a cat person. In my experience (and I dare say “common portrayal), cats have never represented as the “friendliest” of pets. However, this past Monday was a completely different story. This little black one in particular. I fell in love with her. Her name is Coco. And Coco…
Let’s Take an Old Fashioned Walk…
One of my favorite things about living in Grapevine is its “Old Town Charm”. Right in the middle of two major cities. Do you know what I’m talking about? The kind of place where you can take a stroll down main street, meander around boutiques, stroll in for a cappuccino or glass of wine… and…
Darling Style: Rompin’ Around
I love rompers almost as much as I love dresses. Tip: Pair an item like this with your favorite pair of ankle boots and a jacket in the fall for a more “industrial” look or in the summer with wedges or flats for a fun casual look.
Steal the Style: Vintage Vogue Romper
Knowing your body type, what compliments your figure, and what style flatters you are key advantage when it comes to style. There are certain styles I simply adore, but with wide hips, I simply couldn’t pull them off gracefully. However, there are certain items that I know offhand flatter my wide body type. Which was…
