Stumbled upon this photo of Rachel McAdams and I am just loving this entire look!

Her coat, dress and of course the shoes! Love that nude pump with the black ankle strap! Fab- and look at those legs! It's classy with a little sass too - the kind of look I adore! She was in London promoting her latest movie "The Vow" - also with the incredibly handsome Channing Tatum! (ooh la la!) I CANNOT wait to see that movie!!

Hope everyone is having a great week!

Stylin Stars

Every couple of days I like to check out entertainment sites and see what's going on in Hollywood AND of course what our favorite celebs are wearing!

A couple of my favorites this week:

Fergie and her fab airport style! LOVE her b&w striped jacket paired with red jeans!! But yikes - what's up with Josh Duhamel's stache??? Not a fan! But maybe it's for a film . . . . let's hope so!

Victoria B! Well - she's always fab - but I loved this picture because of her and her baby girl. She looks like she's holding a little baby doll - love that little dress too! Presh!!

Pretty Pippa! Love her animal print scarf - which is a must have in my closet in the winter! It

can totally transform a simple outfit!

I'm not always a fan of Michelle Williams - I'm not sure why - sometimes I like her, sometimes

I don't - but I love her dress here! I'm a b&w fanatic so I really like this!

I can't wait to watch the Gold Globes Sunday and all of the lovely (and not so lovely) gowns on

the red carpet!!!

Happy Friday!!!

BUSY December

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! We sure did! It was great spending time with my family, and enjoying all of the wonderful eats and treats!

I have a lot of pictures to post, but am not going to take time to do that today. It's my hubby's birthday!! He is 33! I have to get out and run a few errands before he gets home from work today. My brother is still here and instead of us all going out to dinner tonight, I am going to a do a "favorite things" meal and get some of his favorite foods. Not going to be the healthiest meal - but it will be his favorite things that he doesn't eat that often!

Have a great week and I will be back in a few days! We will be celebrating our 4th anniversary on the 29th! We have a lot going on in December! Christmas, hubby's birthday on the 27th, then our anniversary on the 29th! Whew! Let's just hope we don't have kids in December! lol!!

{Here is one photo of me on Christmas night! You can't really tell, but I was wearing some new, beautiful green earrings! A lot like the ones that Angelina Jolie wore one year to the Oscars! Love them - just hard to tell with me standing against a green tree!}

All I Want For Christmas Is You

Tonight we took some photos at home for our Christmas cards! This year due to The Mr.'s work schedule - we didn't get to have any professional photos taken. But that's okay - I am working on cards now and I think I can do something fun with the photos we took tonight. I will probably end up using a black and white image - but we shall see.

In the meantime, here is one of my favorites! I have been saving this dress that I got from Dillard's for 3 months now. I knew I wanted to wait and wear it around the Holiday's and I think it was perfect tonight for our photos!

My Fall Fashion Staple & Colored Jeans

It is at the in between kinda cool, but not too cold weather and I have been wearing my favorite Fall fashion staple - my black blazer!

I love wearing it because I can dress it up or down, I can wear it over a dress or with jeans and I can make some of my sleeveless tops I wore in the summer transition into my Fall wardrobe!

We went to a birthday party over the weekend and I wore my blazer over a long, black tunic, paired with my new electric blue jeans (which you can't really see in the picture unfortunately.) I have been wanting a pair of these pants for a while and finally bought some last week at Target! I've seen a lot of celebs wearing them lately and since I wear a lot of black, I thought it would brighten up my wardrobe a bit.

I also wore this blue stone necklace that I've had in my closet for a while. I was just waiting for the perfect outfit to wear it with and when I bought the pants I immediately thought of this necklace! I got the necklace at Charming Charlie. Sometimes that store gives me a headache because there is SO much in there - but last time I was in there I totally scored when I got this necklace! However, I must say - if you need an accessory in a certain color . . . . that is the store you want to go to!!

Here are some photos of celebs who are sporting colored jeans!

I know people are hating on KimK right now - but I still LOVE her style! I'm also diggin the emerald green jeans Fergie is wearing!

So what do you all think about colored jeans? yay or nay?

Back to Blogging & Updates

I have not been on my blog or done any kind of update for 2 months now - which is rare for me. But I have been so busy and since I am now doing social media for 2 companies, I don't have much blogging energy left for own personal blog. (As I am typing this hubby just said "You're actually doing your blog?!?!) I know it's been a while when he's saying that! He used to give me heck about how often I was on my blog.

I love blogging and updating my own personal page, but when things get so busy, it becomes and chore and I've decided that I will do it when I have time, but I'm not going to stress or worry about it if I don't!

That said - some good things have been happening at The Nabors house! M got a promotion!! It has been something he has been working towards for a while and when he found out a few weeks ago I was just SO happy for him and for us! I am so thankful!!

The day I got the call that M got the job, I ran around looking for a new leather laptop bag for him to take to work. I have been wanting to get him one for a while and I was on a mission! I finally found one, got it wrapped then went looking for some nice pens! I got him some super nice pens that write like a dream. I also planned on taking him to dinner that night to celebrate! We went to a fab place here called Mesquite Chop house and enjoyed great food and drinks!

{us before the celebration dinner}

I have also taken on a new project for along with my job at the magazine. I am doing some Corporate Styling for a company and that along with my work for the mag is keeping me quite busy!!

Before M started his new job - he had a week off and we enjoyed that week running around and going to a local festival. We never have free time to do those types of things and so we really enjoyed that time together!

And while I'm uploading a few pics - here are more from the past month . . .

{before heading to a reception for friends of ours who recently got married in Napa Valley}

{The couple who got married are middle aged and have everything but I still wanted to get them something, so I put together a "Napa" themed basket for them. Their reception had a wine theme so I made an "m" for their last name out of wine corks, bought some cooking oils from Napa Valley (they like to cook), wine glasses and a great candle. I hope they liked it!!}

And over the weekend, hubby and I went to dinner with some good friends of ours! I tried a new look and did a nude lip - still not sure about it, but think I kind of liked it for a change!

The only other update I have is that my parents are moving to DALLAS and I'm so excited!! My Dad got a promotion and so they are relocating! I'm so happy because they will now be only 7 hours away instead of 13, and it's Dallas!! Can we say SHOPPING?!?! So looking forward to it!!

That's all for now! I'm afraid I may not be very good about leaving comments these days, but I'll try my best. I know that if I'm not leaving comments on other blogs, I may not get many comments in return, but that's A-OK!

Hope everyone is doing well! I have missed all my sweet blogger friends!!

Stylin Mommy 2 Be

I ran across this photo of the beautiful Jessica Alba and I am LOVING her dress! Maternity or not - it's adorable!! Such a great style for almost all of us ladies and especially while expecting! I'm always a huge fan of black and white too!!

{photo via people.com}

I'm not certain - but I think I saw something on E! about how this outfit was not a hit but a miss. Which I just don't get at all!?!? I think she looks great. The dress is fabulous for her mommy to be figure!

I Heart Vacays & . . .

I heart vacays!

I REALLY heart cover ups!! Lol!!

I heart relaxing afternoons by the pool catching some Texas rays!!

Clutch Love

I love clutches!! I always have, but for some reason lately I am really enjoying carrying them! Maybe because it is summer and I don't feel like carrying a large bag around. I need to share some of the clutches I have - but until then, here are some that I'm also quite fond of and wouldn't mind having!!

How about you, are you a clutch fan?

O Say Can You See . . . Festive Fashion

With it being a holiday weekend I have Red, White & Blue on the brain - and in fashion! One cannot go wrong with any of these colors worn alone or together. I'll start off with one of my FAVORITE ensembles worn by Salma Hayek!! I love this outfit . . . from her navy blazer, her simple neutral tee, her necklace, jeans, red wedges and of course her fab bag!! Love it!!

Now for some other fab looks in America's colors!

Joanna Garcia

Cameron Diaz

Heidi Klum

Ashley Greene

Liv Tyler

Taraji P. Henson

Gwyneth Paltrow

Penelope Cruz

Freida Pinto

Which outfit is your favorite?? I think I'll take one of each! I especially like Gwenyth's comfy, casual belted blue dress, along with Joanna Garcia's fab, red hot one shoulder dress {I'm always a sucker for one shoulder dresses!}

Which gets me thinking . . . what am I going to wear this holiday weekend??

Happy 4th of July weekend everyone!!

Feather Party, Fun & Friends

What did I do this weekend you ask? Well . . . I had a Feather Party! Feathers are the hottest summer trend and so many of my friends have been getting them and I just happen to have a friend who does them - so I decided to have a feather party!

I set up my dining room table with chargers to display the feathers and cool photos of girls with feathers - just for the presentation! It was fun to mingle, eat, drink and look at what feathers we all wanted!

I LOVE fresh flowers and having a party gives me an excuse to get a lot of them, so that's what I did! I added these feather balls that I actually used over Christmas in my tree. I loved them mixed in with my arrangements! I had some feather boas stuffed in my closet and had thought about using them to decorate with, but then decided it would look too much like a little girl party and I wanted to keep this party classy but fun at the same time, so I didn't use them!

{Chicken purses - basically like a chicken southwestern egg roll - they were SO good}

{I made these too, which was garlic toast from my local grocery store bakery with cream cheese on top and smoked salmon. I sprinkled some dill on them for color and flavor too.}

{I love doing grape kabobs - they are easy and make a great, pretty presentation!}

{Brie and dried mango. I had some extra garlic toast, which was what was eaten with the brie.}

I didn't get a photo of some of the other things I had to munch on, which was cheese cubes, chips with spinach & artichoke dip, mini brownies, mini carrot cake cupcakes - and of course we had wine. Most of us drank white wine (pinot grigio} but I did have some red for a few people who I knew were red wine drinkers!

More beautiful flowers!!

{I tied neutral feathers around all of the stems of my wine glasses}

{My friend Alexa was the feather stylist and was doing her magic with feathers all night, she did a great job!!}

{My friend Lindsay and me, Lindsey!}

{Me & my friend Kecia}

{My bestie Lindsay with her fab feather!! I just love her hair too, so shiny and beautiful!!}

{My other friend Lindsay (lot's of Lindsay's I know} . . . she was gettin silly with the feathers! ha ha}

{cute girls with their feathers!!}

{This picture was funny - it's the 3 L's: Lindsay, Lindsay and me Lindsey!! I thought they were all making a face, so I did too - but obvisously I was alone - thanks girls! lol}

Oh and these are my feathers, I need to get some better pictures of them . . .

And the best part of the night . . my baby, Mr. Big got a feather too!! I had to bribe him with some cheese so he would be still! I love it!! And suprisingly it's not boterhing him!! It sticks straight up sometimes and I call him Yankey Doodle! so funny!! Even my hubby likes it on him!!

After the party a few of us went out for a bit . . .

{I have no clue what we're doing here . . . silly girls!}

{Me and Alexa who worked hard doing feathers for all my friends that night! She was rockin some fab feathers too!!}

Me and Lindsay!! Love her!!

It was a great time!! I didn't get photos of all the ladies there with their feathers, but they all looked great and had a wonderful time!! It was so fun and something diffferent for all of us to enjoy!!
