Steal Her Style: Jennifer Garner

Jennifer Garner smile

If you follow Jennifer Garner on Instagram, then you know that she has a relatable “every day” style. Today’s “Steal Her Style” post may feature a pricey luxe cashmere jacket, but her look can easily be replicated. Even though Jennifer has access to designer duds, she seems so down-to-earth. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to have her as a neighbor and a friend… I mean, who wouldn’t! Am I right? You can look Jennifer Garner up on Pinterest, and you’ll find more “dressed down” looks than you will “Red Carpet” looks. It’s not because she doesn’t dress up {of course […]

The Most Fascinating People of 2013

I have always loved to watch Barbara Walter’s special, “The 10 Most Fascinating People”, eager to see who she and her team have deemed to be “fascinating” that year.

My Week in Pins

I was asked this week, “Are you from here?”, meaning if I was from Tennessee. “No,” I said. “I’m from Texas.” This is my response… always! I only spent about 16 years (from age 6 months to age 16) in the great state of Texas. Then I spent two years in Biloxi, Miss., but I’ve lived in Tennessee the longest. I explain to those who ask, “I grew up just outside of Lubbock, in the small town of Levelland. Then we moved to Biloxi when my dad transferred from Reese AFB to Keesler AFB. Then in 1991, I moved to Cleveland, Tennessee, to […]

A Few of My Favorite Actresses…

I sat down at my desk this evening with the plan to compile a list of a few of my favorite actors and actresses; however, as I started jotting down names, the list grew longer by the second! So here’s “Part I” of my list… The Actresses (in no particular order)! 1. My favorite Elizabeth Taylor movie is The Taming of the Shrew, which I saw in junior high school English class after we read the play. Even in black and white, she was gorgeous. 2. Judy Garland’s most famous role is probably that of Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz. […]
