SWINGING RUFFLES

by Leave a Comment

Ever since I was a little girl... I have loved swing sets.  I had already spent part of my day at the zoo... so I figured my childish antics might as well continue.  I drove over to my kindergarten playground to spend a bit of time reminiscing.  As I stepped into the tiny sandbox, I found that I remembered it vividly... it was as if nothing had changed.  I ran over and jumped on the swings.  I ...

Ruffles... they can be grown-up. But they're also perfect for your inner five-year-old.

FABULOUS EVENT – LIVE LIKE A KID

by Leave a Comment

Remember when your biggest concern was what cartoon to watch or whether you should save the marshmallows in your Lucky Charms for the last bite?  Life can still be like that. To undertake the challenge of living like a kid, you must do it on a weekend (whatever your weekend may be… my "weekend" is typically on a Wednesday, as my events business keeps me busy on the weekend) because you are NOT ...

As this week's theme (Childhood) is continued... I decided that I should actually try to live like a kid.

MIXED METALS

I had yet another day in which I was a child again.  This time, my childhood prerogative was avoidance... Avoiding responsibility, reality, and all things that may require heavy thought.  I threw on my modern day coat of armor (a quilted leather jacket with chain detailing) and covered myself in silver and rose gold accents (I'm all for mixed metals).  I met my best friend in the world (my sister) ...

Rose gold and silver complement one another... perfectly.

BACK TO SCHOOL

by Leave a Comment

The theme of this week... for me... is childhood.  Getting back to what it's all about... when things that mattered... actually mattered.  To get in the right mindset for this portion of my journey through life, I visited my elementary school.  It felt so small! (that could be because I'm older now... or because I'm a little over 6'1")... My inner child is all about patterns, colors, and ... Read the Post

You're never too old to be a kid. Go ahead. Dress like one.

PIGTAILS & COCKTAILS

by Leave a Comment

Every once and awhile (or, if you're like me... often), you need a break from reality.  I was ready to go out to dinner and drinks with the crew... but for some reason, I didn't feel the presence of my typical fashion forward instinct dictating the choice of my outfit.  My instinct at the moment (likely fueled by incessant work obligations and an unbelievably full schedule) was telling me to ...
