Happy Friday friends! Today’s Friday Fancy is all about my favorite obsession: shoes! I’m loving all the pretty colors and funky details these days.
Have a great weekend! XX

I don’t have any {human} children and I haven’t darkened the doors of a preschool since my own humble graduation from those primary portals, but I do have to say: taking Joey to the groomers is what I think taking your child to preschool for the first time must feel like. 
It doesn’t matter how rambunctious Joey is being before we get to the groomers. As soon as we step past the chiming doorway, he’s a perfect angel. Shy and shaking, he sits pressed against my legs while quiet little whines escape his throat.
Suddenly I feel like a monster, the most horrible of negligent mothers. What if he’s not ready for this? What if the other dogs are mean to him, or pick on him? What if the groomer doesn’t understand that he likes his blankets piled up in a corner, or that if he starts hopping like a bunny rabbit, it means he needs to go outside?
I spend the rest of the day worrying about Joey, whether he’s happy or being taken care of or if they remembered to give him a treat after his haircut. By the time I go to pick him up, I’m about to burst out crying, I’m so worried that I have caused permanent damage to my poor baby Joey. 
Of course when I get there, Joey is quietly snoozing away in his little cage. When he sees me he yawns and leisurely stretches his newly shaved legs, looking at me like, “oh are you here? alright then, I guess we can leave”. I pay the groomer while Joey plays a quick little game of fetch with his new best friend and then proudly rolls over onto his back to get his belly rubbed. show off.
As I drag my suddenly social butterfly of a puppy out the door, I once again tell myself how utterly ridiculous I am and vow not to give in to Joey’s histrionics next time I have to leave him somewhere with out me. Because clearly, he is a professional actor and a slut.

This outfit is basically comprised of all my current fashion obsessions. So let’s break it down:
- headbands. they’re the perfect day 6 greasy hair concealer and it’s an easy way to add another pattern to your outfit. which i am always for.
- chambray. duh. this is one of those trends that I don’t give a rip and a half if it goes out of style, i will continue to wear it. chambray is just so easy to style.
- maxi skirts. this skirt has been my best spring purchase so far. I’ve worn it more times that I have shown on this blog but here’s two other ways to style it 1 and 2
- jesus sandals. i love these strappy sandals and hi hello they’re leopard? perfect. I will be continuously wearing them this summer

I am blessed to be surrounded by ridiculously creative and hard working people. My parents, my grandparents, my sister and her husband; Each of these, and so many more!, are people that not only support me in my dreams and goals, but inspire me to work harder, think bigger, and keep believing in myself and the God who created me.
Jared is one of these people. He is one of the hardest workers I have ever met; I am continuously in awe of his mind. He can write a song, lyrics and music, in the morning and then create a house floor plan in the afternoon and finish up constructing a table that evening. He is so ridiculously talented and I won’t ever be able to say enough about how great he is. (okay, mushy rant over)
aren’t seth and his wife kathleen adorable? you can see their wedding pics on Indiejane!
Currently Jared and his best friend/business partner Seth are in the middle of their spring season at The Plant Stand OKC. The Plant Stand is a locally owned and operated garden center, just north of May and Britton (for all you local folks ;)) If you are in the area, PLEASE stop by! Let’s support our local businesses! Because come on, what’s better than having these two cuties help you pick out plants? ;)
Besides your usual garden center plants (roses, geraniums, other plant names that I don’t know but these guys sure do) the guys are also selling small produce plants like tomatoes, broccoli, and herbs! Such stinkin’ cuteness, it makes me want to start a little herb garden. At Jared’s house, where he can remember to water it and take care of it.
a little baby broccoli, just startin’ out! eek! 
These guys are just about the greatest guys you’ll ever meet, in my supremely biased opinion. But they also have an awesome work ethic and go above and beyond to make sure The Plant Stand is literally the best out there. I can’t think of two guys more deserving of your support! So check ‘em out and like ‘em on FB! :D
Happy Monday friends!
This weekend was so pretty and relaxing! I love weekends that are full and busy but still feel fun and relaxing. The perfect weekend!
After doing a bit of hair styling for Prom, Jared and I went to the 7th & West Trunk show at The Ruff Life! You guys know how much I love 7th & West and I always love exploring new shops, so it was a win/win for me! I also had a bit of a blogger moment when I saw Rachael, Really’s shop The Salvage Room. I hadn’t had a chance to peek in so we obviously had to stop in there as well. No pics unfortunately, but you should definitely check out BOTH shops if you are in the Plaza area!
Then on Sunday, after church, we met up with two of our sweet friends and wandered around the Oklahoma Arts Festival for a few hours. I just have to say, I absolutely love Oklahoma. I love living here, I love the people, I love the opportunities that are given to local businesses. We really are a tight knit community and I love being a part of it!
YAY for fun weekends and real spring weather!
Hey friends! Let’s play a game. Let’s pretend that I DIDN’T set a budget for myself and I have carte blanche to buy lots of cute things! YAY!
Below are my Friday Fancies! Happy Friday!

Last weekend Jared and I went driving in the “country”. I say “country” since it was only about twenty minutes outside of the city but hey, there were fields and no stoplights so it counts.
Jared kind of looked at me like I was crazy when I told him I wanted to go driving around, but I just wanted a chance to get away. Not driving to somewhere, not driving from somewhere, not running late, running early, no running period. Just some time to be calm.
We drove around for an hour or so, talking about absolutely nothing and absolutely everything. Our dreams and plans, future ideas and hopes. Just me and this sweet boy I’m so grateful to call mine. It was absolutely perfect. There’s so much busyness going on these days and even the 4 days since these pictures were taken have been an absolute blur, but that drive was a pause in the crazy. Looking back now, I’m so thankful that Jared knows me, knows I’m crazy, and has just accepted my weird quirks and tendencies. He looked at me, said ok, and gave me a perfect Sunday evening.
I sure do love that guy.
why yes i did go tromping around a field in 5in wedges. Spontaneity people. 
Good morning lovers!
So I put my extensions back in. I went four months without them this time, which was a nice break, but I love having the length back! It’s just so much easier to fix. You can read my extension FAQ post here!
I also ombred the ends a little and I love it! Now I’ve got my ombre hair, big sunglasses, my muscle tees, and my maxis skirts. I’m ready for you Spring! Now where the heck are you?!

I had the privilege of attending the Saturday evening finale show of Oklahoma Fashion Week this weekend. I’m utterly thrilled to see events like this happening and I’ve even more thrilled to see these events partnering with other companies to make a difference here in Oklahoma. A portion of proceeds from OFW benefited the the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma to help fight child hunger.
look it’s me!
I had such a great time at OFW. Thanks again for inviting me girls! Can’t wait for next year. Below are some of my favorite looks of the evening, all from Oklahoma designers!
Good morning friends!
Today Courtney and I are sharing our second Sisterly post! YAY!
These are our top 4 Spring Must Haves! Check out mine below and then head over to SLC to read all about Courts!
Happy Friday!
::The Rambler’s Spring Must Haves::
1. Blush/Bronzer Duo:: When the weather gets warmer my makeup routine gets lazier and lazier. I just love a simple fresh look! This blush/bronzer is the perfect mix of shimmer and color. A little mascara, a little blush/bronzer, and a little bit of gloss and you’re good to go!
2. Muscle Tees:: Oh my word I am OBSESSED with this trend! Muscle tees are so laid back and comfy and right now there are so many options you can basically have any graphic you want. Romantic, rocker, hipster, whatever floats your boat.
Now check out SCL’s Spring Must Haves, Lickety Split!
