An Evening of Collaboration


“As clothing wears, fades, stains and stretches, it becomes an intimate record of our physical presence. It traces the edge of the body, defining the boundary between the self and the outside world."



Does your closet have you feeling a little "Carrie Bradshaw pre-wedding to Big"?
Have you diagnosed your self with a closet full of nothing to wear syndrome?  Does it feel like every time you step foot in your closet you fall down a black hole of digging, tossing, and mis matching? There's no question that an organized closet can make for better dressing, but there's a distinct difference between an organized closet... and a dream closet. 



The keys to having it all in your wardrobe and the space it lives in are organization, light, and to have some fun! It's all about you and your personal style! 
Tomorrow, I'll be teaming up with Amy from W By Worth for a Night of Collaboration.. So let's get this party started! I've paired some of my favorite pieces from the W By Worth spring line and drool worthy dream closets to showcase just how much your personal style can make a difference. 


Classic, comfortable neutrals come together with a light filled faux finished wood floor. 


Glamor radiates with this chic tweed and lace slip dress and equally chic wall of mirrors. 



Take a walk on the wild side with this eclectic dressing room that would perfectly compliment this jacquard over blouse. 


Texture is key! Even small hints, like a blouse or a rug can make all the difference.



I can't wait to tell you all about what Amy and I scheme up over  Davenport Bellinis and the company of fantastic ladies.

Whiskey Girl

Blogging this week in my absence is my beautiful, creative and witty daughter Ashely ... I hope you find the apple didn't fall far from the tree!  Enjoy the post, and I'll be back next week when I return from my annual missions trip!


I love my whiskey, and I love up cycling whiskey barrels almost as much. 

This is wood floors made from re purposed whiskey barrels, you can find it at McKay Flooring

Whiskey barrel Mason jar light fixture, WhiskeyLights

Barrel stool with a leather top from Halo Styles

I love that these items are so unconventional! 



Lastly, can't drink your Whiskey this weekend without these awesome newly popular item! 

The Whiskey Stone! 



Just freeze them and pop them in your glass to keep your drink cold without watering them down!






I hope that everyone has a fun and safe weekend!

Celebrating Ashley with Mojitos




Monday, I was pulling up white tights and buckling patent leather Mary Janes.


Yesterday, I was toasting her 21st Birthday. 

Here's to Ashley .... 
Smart
Beautiful
Funny 
and still my Baby Girl 

.....After all I'm certain Monday night I was tucking her and her 'bitty baby' into bed....

Celebrate her this weekend if you choose with one of my favorite Summer Cocktails 

Mojitos!

10 fresh mint leaves 
1 lime cut into wedges
3 tablespoons sugar or to taste

Put the mint leaves and one a lime wedge into a hefty glass. 
Using a muddler crush mint and lime relasing the mint oils and lime juices 
Add a couple more lime wedges & sugar 
Muddle again 
Fill glass with ice
Pour rum over the ice and fill the glass with club soda
Stir well & add additional sugar to taste if needed
