Southern Women raised me. This may feel like an irrelevant statement but when it comes to make-up it made all the difference. You see at an early age we started wearing make-up. Not because it was necessary, but because it was fun. We watched our mother get ready in the morning layering colors on her …

I was taught at a young age that I couldn’t wear white until after Memorial Day. Then after Labor Day, white was forbidden until next year. Being a child I just went with this, these were the rules and you followed them. I assumed it was because it gets muddy in the winter and you’ll …

Jeans Have you ever sat down and really thought about your style? What outfits, colors, or specific articles of clothing do you come back to when you want to feel your best? Ironically, it’s a hard question to ask. To be perfectly honest, I found my style when creating this blog. In showcasing 10×10 challenges …

The smell of BBQ pits has started to fill the air. The leaves on the trees have finally bloomed and you can feel the temperature change minute by minute as you lift your face to the sun and let your skin start to brown. Yes, Summer has finally made it’s way out of the frozen …

“I didn’t recognize you without a hat!” I get it all the time. My hats have become my signature and I’m not mad about it, probably because they are the accessory that gives me the feeling I can do anything.  Just as Audrey Hepburn had her pearls, Mary Poppins had her umbrella and Iris Apfel …

We walked through the house empty and smelling of fresh paint dreaming about what it could be like to live here. The couch would go there, the dining room table over there and someday when we had kids we’d see them running through the door in the back, covered in mud from the backyard. Room …

When I was 5 years old I would wear every piece of jewelry I owned. I wore my shoes on the wrong feet because I found that comfortable (for whatever reason) and I liked to mix patterns, at lot. It was clear, I was always meant to have a love for fashion. We make fun …

Growing up in my house, you wore lipstick. Maybe not as a kid but by college, it was a requirement. I was raised by southern women.
