Now that I've shared my Pinterest love in my post last week...I do hope you have jumped on the bandwagon or at least followed my boards. But...what else is new? To save you the eyerolls on politics and the latest on the Kardashians...I thought we could talk about more fun things like sprucing up your home—DIY style. Yay! Ok, so I'm not an expert, ok I haven't even really done all that much ever

What's Trending?

2012-01-19T21:22:00.000-06:00

I love seeing all things trending lately, but have decided to add some variety to the blog! If you have not already discovered Pinterest—well, first I'm sorry. Second, GO GET ON IT! It is invite only, so ask a friend to invite you or just request an invite and they'll approve it in a matter of hours. It is possibly the best site ever. I mean honestly. From home decor to recipes to kids rooms and

Vibrant is here. Wear Now. Wear Later.

2012-01-11T13:27:00.004-06:00

Wow, after a long hiatus I think our fashion world never stopped! So I'm back to share some 2012 fashion trends that are up and coming and already here. COLOR is for sure in for the year. ORANGE is huge. Which, for all that know me, is a dream come true for me. I just swoon over orange. But vibrant greens, lapis blue and brights are also in. Magentas, turquoise and, of course, GOLD. Gold has

Day vs. Night - Green with Envy

2011-10-17T15:27:00.004-05:00

It doesn’t matter what shape or size it comes in, if it’s way fancy or simply cute—the bold green dress is gonna be your go-to party outfit this season. (Not to mention a great way to stand out in a sea of Little Black Dresses!) Green is not only a universally flattering color—it creates a sense of glow to your complexion—light or dark—and can really add sparkle to any eye color. It will create

Fall in to Fashion...

2011-10-13T09:51:00.000-05:00

What are you wearing with your boots this fall? Even if it is still 80(sigh, yes it is upper 80s in Texas today), it is still FALL! Break out those boots! Sweater dresses too. Mmm, mmm, mmm. Love them. Especially since they can flatter just about anyone. Finish with a belt or go casual and more flowy without. I used Target for our first outfit today because I love their versatile, affordable

The animal in your closet...summer to fall

2011-09-21T17:18:00.001-05:00

And so the transition begins...from summer to fall but not quite cold enough to drag out all the sweaters. Sometimes (especially here in Texas!) it can be a long time coming for sweater weather (try January!) so I wanted to show you some good summer trends to put together with fall outfits. We all know anything animal or animal print is in this season...so go wild! (yes, pun intended) I love

Style on the Street

2011-09-07T11:06:00.000-05:00

I love showing everyday things. I have started a video series on my Facebook Fan page(which you should be on!) Enjoy!

Piperlime.

2011-08-30T14:11:00.001-05:00

I mean really. Piperlime is honestly one of the best things to happen since sliced bread. I get their emails daily and I swoon and wipe drool from the corners of my mouth—usually. It is a shopper's dream: shoes, clothes, accessories, Rachel Zoe's faves—what more do you want? They also own Gap, Old Navy, Athleta and Banana Republic. The best part? Lots of sales and lots to choose from within all

Women behaving BOLDLY.

2011-08-26T17:25:00.001-05:00

Ahhh, yes I had a long "time off" from blogging and it is more than time to return! This fall the fashion and trends are so amazing, I can't wait to flaunt them. This season is all about being bold. Taking that step into "I think I'll try that this year" and "I can totally pull that off!" Cobalt blue is one bold color that is everywhere for fall. It is a color that is flattering, rich and BOLD.

Weely Spotlight - Sunday Brunch with Shopping!

2011-03-31T15:53:00.000-05:00

Ashley Popp is mother of 2, a boy and a girl, and married to a—according to her—rather sarcastic and funny man. Ashley is a runner and a working mom, so she is quite busy. Ashley and I never met prior to our trunk show. Nope, we didn't even know each other. Wow! you say? Why yes! She and my husband knew each other from past career circles and had run in to each other one day by random chance. He

Weekly Hostess Spotlight - Girls Night Out for sure!

2011-03-25T12:17:00.001-05:00

Our first spotlight in my new "Hostess Spotlight Series" is on Selena Srabian. Meet Selena, mom of 2 boys and wife to a great guy who works for a cool organization—the San Francisco Giants!

She and her sister started Annie & Isabel, a company

Last minute shopping!!

2010-11-27T20:17:00.001-06:00

Oh no!! If you are anything like me, it is a week before Christmas and I realize I have no gifts under my tree! Same story, every year. Black Friday has become Black November and there are sales abound and people getting up or staying up at ridiculous hours to save what?? and how much, really?? You don't need to lose sleep, set an alarm, or fight any crowd. Stella & Dot has you covered, with

Belt It Out!

2010-10-13T18:25:00.001-05:00

Belts are all the rage this fall. I love them more than ever. However, belts can be tricky things to wear if you do not have the body of a runway model. A belt can actually accentuate bits you want to hide, if you choose the wrong size, type, or wear it in the wrong place. 2010 is the year of the waist, especially wide waist-cinching belts or narrow, skinny ones that sit around a cardigan or

2010 Fall Trends...Joan of Arc meets Coco Chanel

2010-08-22T19:38:00.003-05:00

Summer has come and gone but style will always be here! As I’m sure you know by now, statement accessories are all the rage. 2010 trends are leaning toward the 15th-century Joan of Arc meets 20th-century Coco Chanel. In what way? Glad you asked. Joan of Arc was a heroine of her day. Burned at the stake at only 19, she was known for her use of armor, as only men wore in that day. It was said to

Summer Styles...Don't leave home without them!

2010-06-29T23:08:00.000-05:00

Summer is officially here!! If you live in Texas--like me--then you know that it has been over 90˚F for weeks and it isn't getting better! But this doesn't mean you have to compromise style for the heat. Sweat or no sweat, there are many ways to feel feminine and great no matter where you are headed. Summer is a time for many of us--especially mothers with school-aged children--to sometimes toss

Sex and the City 2 Style

2010-05-30T20:54:00.093-05:00

It is a much awaited weekend for many of us ladies, girlfriends and especially fashionistas! Not only has Sex and the City revolutionized how women value their friendships through their boyfriends, friends, marriages, break-ups, kids, the ups and downs of life but it has also changed how we think and love fashion forever. We have all been in the "which SATC character are you" circle at one

Style Tips from a Star Stylist!

2010-05-18T17:22:00.000-05:00

1. Think outside your comfort zone. All of us ladies and moms are busy! Whether it be kids, hubby, chores, PTA meetings, we find ourselves in a style rut. We throw on the sweats and call it a day! You can always freshen up an outfit with an adorable necklace or earrings! I was in the same rut before I joined Stella & Dot and saw what a difference even a cute charm necklace can make with

Who says its trendy?

2010-03-26T17:53:00.001-05:00

Have you ever wondered who set the latest fashion trends or chooses what’s in? Fashion has always been about trends and updates, so it is only natural to ask the question on who actually set the latest trend or keep the fashion world in motion. Designers are the first agents of change, setting the overall direction of the fashion world in more ways than one. You can easily catch the latest

Tomorrow is my last show of the month and I want it to go out with a bang!! I think it is going to be a great one. I love the hostess, even though I've never met her.
