I am loving this set I created. Fabulous for a walk in the park, (maybe not Liberty Park) or high tea. Now if I can just figure out how to convert dollars into Euro's I'll be all set.

One outfit, two looks

This season we're all over the jewel tones. I took the cobalt blue top and emerald pants both from Urban Outfitters and created two completely different styles.

This first look is the envy of every hipster at the Coffee Garden. I paired the same pants and top with a mustard scarf (Urban Outfitters), a black fedora (Target) and some strappy gladiator sandles.

To dress up this second look up I paired it with some rainbow t-straps, vintage sunburst necklace, and purple Rayban sunglasses.

Look of the Week

A lot of people have been writing to me asking "what to wear if you're not a size 2?" This. Betsy is wearing a color block pencil skirt from Anthropologie. American Rag western shirt from Macy's, and Steven fold over leather boots from Nordstrom. The necklace, glasses and belt are all vintage finds. This is a slimming look any lady can wear to church on Sunday or the office on Monday.

Just can't handle

Platform flip-flops, rhinestones on anything besides rodeo wear, too thin eye brows, hair extensions, eye lash extensions, Miss Me jeans, Pink (Victoria's Secret) sweats, fleur de lis hats, and moms who pull up to Starbucks in their Range Rover's wearing Lululemon. There I said it.

Playing with Proportion

The late great Coco Chanel once said "Fashion is architecture it's a matter of proportion." This season it's all about the mix and balance. Full skirts with crop shirts,wide leg trousers with boxy tops, and my personal fav chunky sweaters with slim pleat pants. Play around and have some fun.... in your

Orange Love

My cute grandma Clyde with her sweet southern charm, taught me two important lessons in life:

1. You don't get married to just have breakfast together (wink wink)

2. Don't ever leave the house without lipstick on.

Needless to say I haven't always headed this advice but they are diamonds of wisdom all the same.

Clyde's lipstick of choice was always ranging from apricot, to bright tangerine

Shades of orange can totally look good on anyone. It can pull together any outfit, and make you look like you somewhat give a damn.

Here's to you grandma a woman of impeccable taste.

" I love the American Southwest for starters. You may call them Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah. I call them heaven." ~ DeAngelo Vickers I couldn't agree more. I am obsessed with cacti, longhorns, turquoise, Ikat and of course the Snap front Western shirt. Dress it up over a floral maxi dress, or down with black leggings and Toms, either way it's a classic wardrobe staple.

Look of the week~ Back to school on a budget

I always say if you're skinny you can wear anything. My friend Shannon is skinny and she can wear anything. If she wore a moo moo out, they would have them back ordered at K Mart the next day. To say she is tiny would be an understatement. In preparing for this shoot I asked her what her pant size was and she reluctantly replied a size 1. ( I checked when she went to the bathroom they really were.) Who the hell wears a size 1 in the juniors department after having four kids. Shannon does. She is a self described "trend setter" which is why I asked her to model one of my favorite looks of the season.

This look is perfect for a hometown football game, a PTA meeting, or lunch with friends. Best of all no piece is over twenty dollars and all can be found at your neighborhood Target.

If you're one of my LDS sista's throw some gray leggings underneath and the look is equally as cute.

On Carter's and my date night last night I suggested it might be fun if we wore cowboy hats to the Dodo and spoke in a country accent. He replied "okay... that's awkward"

Sometimes I pretend the sound of my dripping toilet is a waterfall and I'm at the spa.
