CHIC BLACK PEPLUM TOP AND PANTS Hello! We got back from a fabulous trip to LA on Sunday night late and had to be back at the airport yesterday morning for an 8:00 flight to New York for a quick trip. I have never had a turnaround like that in my life, and needless to say, I am wiped out. I’m trying to look alive as much as I can today. I am here for a photo shoot with the Knitwell Group (Ann Taylor, Talbots, Chicos, White House Black Market, and Soma). These brands have partnered with the Breast Cancer Research Fund for twenty years and are celebrating this milestone anniversary. I was asked ..read more

ONE TOP TWO WAYS Hello, ladies! It’s finally hit the one-hundred-degree mark in Dallas, and it’s hot, and shooting photos in this temperature is not so much fun. We shoot at the same place weekly because our Favorite store, Frame, lets us change in their dressing room; believe me, it’s a gift! I used to do about four outfit changes in an hour out of my car, but I’m too old to do that anymore! Trying that in the summer and winter (or anytime) is a beast! I’ve definitely flashed a few people throughout the years changing in my car! I know you all are probably done hearing about all of the sale ..read more

   NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY SALE PICKS FOR WOMEN Hello! Here we go! The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale starts today, and I wanted to show you all my picks for women. This is a fantastic sale for stocking up on basics and items you know you will buy in the fall. Do you need a new coat? This is the best time to buy one when the price point is great! Think of the items you might need and put them in your cart (a great time to get Christmas gifts!). Every year, I say, it’s better to buy and return than be upset you didn’t get it. I have been adding items to my wishlist because, as I said here ..read more

MY FAVORITE PICKS FROM THE NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY SALE 2024 RED DRESS // WATCH // LEATHER BLAZER // HANDBAG // JEANS BELT // LEATHER MOTO JACKET // FAUX FUR JACKET // BOOTS SNEAKERS // DENIM JACKET // EYESHADOW PALETTE // PERFUME TRIO Hi! I hope you all had a great Fourth of July! We were very low-key, which was nice but a little boring. We usually do something big for the Fourth, but this year was quiet. We have been watching a series that makes me very anxious, and I am unsure if I can finish it. Have you all seen “Your Honor?” OMG!!! Did anyone see “The Night Of?” a while back? This series ..read more

Happy Monday and Happy ELEVEN year Cancerversary to me! I am so blessed to be able to write this post, and I look forward to it every year that goes by! If you are new around here, I had an aggressive form of breast cancer called Triple Negative. I found out on June 14th, 2013, and on July 1st, I was in the hospital having an eight-hour surgery to remove the tumor and a double mastectomy. From there, I started chemo and later radiation. I celebrate on July 1st because that is the day the tumor was removed. Triple Negative Breast Cancer is a nasty one, and honestly, you don’t get much choice ..read more

FOURTH OF JULY OUTFIT INSPIRATION Hi there! This has been a busy week so far! We kept our grandkids at the beginning of the week, and I have been catching up with doctor’s, hair, etc. appointments. I saw a functional medical doctor yesterday for my eczema (yes, I still have it, unfortunately). She wants to put me on a 10-day carnivore diet, meaning nothing but meat and water! I hope to start it on Monday, but I don’t know! I’m also going back in a few weeks to let her use hypnotherapy on me. Has anyone ever done it before? I just finished the book, “Many Lives Many Masters,” and asked her if ..read more

TWO SHIRT DRESSES AND FAVORITE SUMMER DRESSES OF LATE Hello, ladies, and happy weekend! It’s officially (by the calendar) summer! I must admit that I am so glad to be home and stay put for a month. The three—and four-day trips I have taken in the last couple of months have worn me out, so I am so happy to be home for a while. I will even take the heat! Today, I wanted to show you two shirt dresses and my favorite summer dresses of late. Because Dallas gets so hot in the summer, I wear more dresses (especially ones that don’t stick to my legs) than I typically do. Dresses are easy and the bes ..read more

  DENIM-ON-DENIM Hello, ladies! Are you all sick of the heat yet? Summer has just started, but it already feels like July and August. I say that because last week was super hot in Dallas, but I have to admit that we are enjoying a little reprieve in Montana. We flew here on Friday with our friends who have a very nice airplane. They offered us a ride and to load up the plane with whatever we could fit to bring to our new little place. We literally looked like the Beverly Hillbillies! I was a little mortified when we pulled up to the plane in two SUVs full of our stuff! Our friends were ..read more

   MATCHING SUMMER LOOK Hello! It feels like it’s been a minute since I’ve been here. Life has been super busy lately with traveling and family. It’s all been good, but I am a homebody and always so happy to get home. We were in Fredericksburg, Texas, this past weekend with our small group from church. Our group has four couples, but one couldn’t make it. We have decided that we are great travel companions! Have you ever been to Fredericksburg? I had heard it was a fun little town to visit, but I had no idea it was like visiting Napa! There are over eighty wineries, and they are h ..read more
