...because I just need to put this out there. Some moms are excited for their kids to go back to school. I am not. :(
Dear Olivia,
We just measured you and you grew two more inches! No wonder all your clothes are too short. At this rate we may have to get second jobs to keep up with your closet conundrum.
Read MoreLet's talk about wrap dresses shall we?
First of all, did you have a good weekend? Good! Me, too!
Back to the infamous wrap dress. I've never been a fan. Why? Well, I feel like they draw a bit of attention to my mid-section of which I am not a fan of...at all. For 38 years I've been on + off working on my abs and let's just say that God has not blessed me with a six pack. But that's okay, we move on and accentuate other parts of our bodies like great legs or strong arms. Am I right?
Read MoreCharles and I met at an event a little over a year ago. He was catering and whipping up gourmet bites and the conversation was easy. This is often the case with creative types as I gravitate to them like a moth to a flame. He was at ease and passed his business card to me on the way out. I was just launching Oak St. Social.

There are so many bloggers who operate on this palette daily and their feeds inspire me to purge everything and simplify my life. But then...
Read MoreOne of the greatest things in life is not only making new friends but watching your friends go through life-altering changes that round them out to become a beautiful, confident human being. Lauren possessed these traits from the start but, most recently, it's been a fun evolution to observe her cross country move with her beau, get married, buy their first home, dive into a new career path and for the finale...become a mother to a delicious, little baby girl.
Read MoreFind me a girl who didn't want to be a mermaid at one point in her life. Impossible! It all started with "Splash" for me and for my girls.."The Little Mermaid." Luxurious hair, clam bikinis and that magical tail allowing you to gracefully glide through the water...sounds much better than my day job, right?
Read MoreIt's hard to let go of summer fashion when it's just so good this time of year. The sales are coming hard and strong and it's tempting to scoop up every last bold dress or romper. Then again, at $30 a pop...why not?
