Here are my favs of the internet this week - know of anything good that I missed?

- The new Lonny came out this week and the "Young at Heart" house tour has me feeling quite inspired.


- Adding this and this to my already quite long 'to DIY' list.

- My favorite outfit that was shared this week.

- Itching to use this fabric somewhere.

- An article showcasing a different perspective on the huge "news" story of the week.

- Isn't this a really great art/mirror arrangement? Filed it away for future use!

- Thought this post was great. Don't be afraid to switch things up around your home and think outside the box!

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! I've got some painting projects on my list - fingers crossed for lots of progress.

Also - sending out happy happy birthday wishes to my sweet Hubs and wonderful sister today! So appropriate that two of my most cherished share a day of birth :)

OMM: August 2013

8.27.2013


Just a little round up of what's been on my mind this month! See my post last month explaining this series :)


TV Show: I love me some Jeff Lewis. His show on Bravo is hilarious, but I also think he is a very skilled designer. Often the homes he goes into, the couple or family that lives there cannot agree on just about anything (including design). But I think he does a great job of designing spaces that most everyone can get on board with. And, he really does HELP these people. It's great.


Song: I'm sure you didn't forget that my blog is a no judgment zone? Because the song I have been totally loving this month is "Still Into You" by Paramore. The video isn't awesome, but the song is. The lyrics are just so sweet! And it's catchy... so ya. I'm into it.


Instagrammer: You all just need to follow Humans of New York - @humanofny. Essentially, it's just pictures of people who live in New York, with a short description that is usually super insightful/interesting/funny/sad/beautiful. I really love the idea behind this.


Blog: My best friend/sister - Kacey writes a lovely blog about her home and family life. Recently, she shared a post about her thoughts/cares/concerns/thankfulness during this time in her pregnancy. This post touched my heart SO much. Even though I'm not a mother and can't identify with her emotions, I still think it's a really good read. Oh, and her maternity pics are GORG.


Inspiring Designer: Barrie Benson. Nothing new here, but I have probably looked at this image 12 times over the last month. I just find it super amazing.


Blessing: I've been working with a wonderful friend on giving her house a little zhush up. It's a gorgeous home in one of my favorite Tulsa neighborhoods. And, she and her husband are just super awesome and easy to work with. Has been so much fun so far and a huge blessing. Can't wait to share more - but here is just a teeny snippet of what we have done so far.


"real" pictures to come...

Beauty Product: My girlfriend turned me on to One N' Only Argan oil - to me, it's the exact same as the pricier Moroccan oil.
 
Inspiring Quote: This just cracks me up!! But seriously....


Book: Okay, so last month I raved about the Mortal Instruments: City of Bones.  And I am super sad to report that the movie was a HUGE let down. I don't know why I still get so upset when I hate the movies that are made on books I love - because it happens more often than not. They messed with the plot line and made it WAY too cheesy. But that doesn't mean I'm not eager to delve into the next book in the series......


movies  < books.

Go-to outfit: This skirt has been the MVP of my wardrobe lately. Favorite way I've worn it is similar to this:

 
Accessory: When I was in Dallas a few weekends ago, my fabulous mother in law let me pilfer through her jewelry. And, because she is super generous, I walked away with these:


And I LOVE THEM! Vintage treasure.

Trips being planned: About this time every year, I get reeeeally excited for tailgate season. Notice I didn't say 'football season' because I'm not really into football games. I am, however, into tailgating, seeing college friends and spending time with my family in my hometown. Here is me and the Hubs during football season last year:


Hearts.

Routine: After about a 4 month break, I've gotten back into my yoga ritual. I cannot say enough how amazing and important yoga has been to me.


So that's a little bit about what has been on my mind this month! Thanks again to Paloma for inspiring this post!

OMM: July 2013

7.22.2013


Last week Paloma, one of my most favorite bloggers, wrote a post that I just really loved. Essentially, she compiled a list of things that she has been obsessing over during the month of July and shared them! And since imitation is the highest form of flattery, I've decided to do the same here. I'm going to make it a part of the "On My Mind" series - because these are the items that have been on my mind this month:
TV Shows: I know I am late to this party, but I LOVE Ducky Dynasty. It's just good, clean fun/hilariousness. Added bonus- it's one that C and I can actually agree on!


Song: Really loving "Blurred Lines" by Robin Thicke. Makes me want to groooooove. As does "Beautiful" by Mariah Carey. That lady has STILL got it going on.


Instagrammer: You just need follow @valerie_aya. A sampling:


Pinterest User: I really don't remember how I found this pinner, but I am super glad I did because I re-pin from her ALOT.


Blog:  I am again late to the party, because I just started following Bryn Alexandra. Especially love that she has Oklahoma ties! But she also has really refined taste and is a very talented designer. I've loved seeing the progression of her own home. She chooses things very thoughtfully and takes her time in pulling rooms together. I respect that, as it is so easy to want to get it all done at once.


Inspiring Designer: I've followed Chicago designer Summer Thornton for a while, but a few months back this project was added to her portfolio. I'm still absolutely loving it.


Blessing: Pretty much every day, the Hubs and I talk about how blessed we feel to be back in Tulsa. It's hard for us to put into words, but we just feel better here. It brings an amazing sense of comfort knowing how close so many loved ones are. While St. Louis was an adventure--- we are glad to be back!


 Bag: My incredibly generous sister in law came to visit a few weeks back and got herself a new bag while she was here. Soooooo she left her Speedy for me to borrow for a bit. I definitely don't hate it! Just so you don't get confused, this isn't a picture of me :)


Color: In my own home, I've been sticking to neutrals with pops of red, navy and green. So obviously, this picture makes me happy.


Inspiring Quote: Agree!


Drink: Moscow Mules are such a yummy, summery drink. And Valkyrie makes a darn good one. Tulsans- take note. Honorable mention- Cupcake's prosecco. 


Book: Ok. As I've said before, the only place I have an addictive personality is books. For months, my bestie has been telling me to get started on the Mortal Instruments series. Well, I'm through the first one and all I have to say is woah. Suuuuuuuuper into it. Read. it.(even though I am slightly embarrassed by the cover.... it's awesome. promise!)


Triumph: Getting my business going has been really rewarding. Anytime I get an email in my business inbox- my heart jumps! I hope to not ever lose that feeling. It's fun. 


Go-To Outfit: Not going to lie, this outfit has kind of been on repeat.......


Accessory: My fabulous friend from Houston happens to be a Stella and Dot stylist, and she was nice enough to send me the Jolie necklace. I have been reaching for it all the time! Outfit posts to come, but I do love it paired with hot pink:


Trips being planned: We are winding down summer wedding season, but are still looking forward to the last one of 2013- my sister's wedding in Guatemala in December! I went last May, but am excited to go back again for this event. I am already getting emo about the whole thing. This is the reception site. Gorgeous, right?


Thanks Paloma for dreaming up such a fun series! So tell me - what's been on your mind this month?

Carole Radziwill Style

7.11.2012

So its no secret that I love reality television, and the Real Housewives (of any city) is a must watch for me. Carole Radziwill from RHONY is my new fav. -- I love her attitude, outlook on life and her STYLE. Seriously, girl has got it going on. If you don't know about Carole, read up on her here. Super interesting woman. Princess? Check. Outstanding journalism career? Check. Bestselling author? Check. GREAT HAIR? Check. What's not to love?

Let's look at some of her fab fashion choices.


Did I mention she is 48? OWN. IT. She looks amazing.


I just love her look- super downtown, cool girl which definitely sets her apart from the rest of the RHONY cast.


And see below- love the letterman jacket!!


She loves her animal print- girl after my own heart! I wish I could find a pic of this whole outfit- super skinnies and booties- she is just the cutest!


Just a few more.


And I'll leave you with this one. Hottie.

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.10.

I am also reading Carole's book "What Remains." She is just as great a writer as she is dresser. I'm already looking forward to her next one. AND she has officially been added to my list of style icons.

Do you agree?

B.W. Floral

1.10.2012

I know I'm not the only one who watches GG partly for the fashion. Blair Waldorf= perfection. That girl can rock some incredible florals...

In an effort to incorporate more B.W./floral into my own wardrobe, I recently acquired the following:

Here.
I love me some J Crew sale! I think this piece will work not only for winter, but will transition into spring easily. And it would def make B.W. proud.

Who else can't WAIT for the return of GG?? If she doesn't end up with Chuck I might be inconsolable.... the countdown to the 16th is on!
