Getting on my fashion soap box for a minute, today. The topic? Why I strongly believe the terms “what’s in/what’s out” and fashion “do’s/dont’s” should be banished from all fashion vocabulary and rhetoric. These terms are constantly used in fashion mags, and fashion-devoted websites, and have irked me for years, so I’d just like to express, today,
Almost-Summer Brights
I wore this look for Cinco de Mayo a couple of weeks ago, but I’m always game for color! Bright, citrusy orange is my bestie these days, but I’ve also been gravitating to sea-breezy mints and turquoises, lately. I think the beach is calling me….? 😉 And how cute is this mint green, canteen crossbody
A "Peach of Cake" Mani
It’s a PEACH OF CAKE! That’s the fun name of my nail polish color, and that’s how I’d describe using it, too! I’m absolutely loving this Sally Hansen nail polish! Not just because its the prettiest color of peach I’ve even seen, but because it has actually stayed on ALL week! And believe me, this busy

Petrified Forest + Grand Canyon Trip
I cannot stress enough how much fun we had traveling from Texas, back home to Oregon, last week. My husband and I wanted some National Parks to dictate our route home, and I’m so very grateful we took the extra time to make that happen. It’s breathtaking, our country!! I find it’s impossible not to feel in
A Big, Beauty-ful Night Out
It’s Prom Season! Last Saturday, I had the honor of getting nine, super-awesome, high school gals ready for their prom! Such an exciting mile marker in a young gal’s life, and I was so happy to be a part of it in a small, but really fun way. Below, you will see a little photo gallery full
