While these days you’d be hard pressed to find me sitting down in front of the television, when I was younger I was addicted to Sex and the City. The romance, the humor, the sense of sisterhood… and the fashion…I just couldn’t get enough! For the longest time my woman crush was none other than…

Darling Style: Rainy Day Stroll
I love a good rainy day as much as the next person. On days like this you can either find me curled up watching a good romantic movie…or prancing around in my rain boots. The other day I decided to slip into my Hunter boots and take them for a rainy day stroll. I’ve always…
Darling Style: The Explorer
Every once in a while, I find it necessary to break away from the “culture” of the city. It’s a yearning that always brings me to wander inside mother earth’s green sanctuaries. I explore, I wander, I observe, and immerse myself within her grasp; because it’s in these moments that I realize how pointless and…
End of Summer Blues
Although summer doesn’t officially end until late September, the last days in August always feels like we are at the end summer days. It might have something to do with the fact that students go back to school around this time, but mostly I think its the hints of Autumn in the evening air. My guy…
America the Beautiful
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……
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…
Embracing Pearls
In a world of Ugg boots, daisy dukes, and flower crowns… I close my eyes and dream of an earlier epoch that embraced elegance and femininity. I believe there’s so much power in women embracing their femininity, especially in the way we dress. They say the clothes don’t make the man, but they sure do…
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…
