Oxfords

For my birthday last year I got these babies...



I wear them all the time and love them! You can find them here. I love the contrast of wearing them with a skirt. A mix of masculine and feminine.

So before Landon and I moved out of our apartment we were in the Primary teaching CTR 5. The first Sunday I wore them, I was sitting next to a little girl in our class during singing time. I noticed she kept staring at my shoes. Finally she whispered, "why are you wearing boy shoes?" So cute and funny. Her dad probably had some oxfords in his closet at home. Oh the things kids say. What are your feelings about oxfords? Too masculine or love them? I am in love. I do think that you have to pick the right pair though. Some have a more feminine, slim look to them and others look like you really did steal your dad's big clod-hoppers. :)

Client Progress

These lovely clients of mine just bought their first house after finishing medical school and we are having so much fun decorating it! We started with the living/dining room which is almost complete, and then we will be moving to the family room and office.  I think many people believe interior design happens quickly and you have to spend a lot of money all at once. That is one way you can decorate your home, but with this client we took it slow and steady. This results in an equally beautiful home. We came up with an overall design and concept to begin with, but were very flexible with reconfiguring the design as we went and buying things over time, not all at once.  We started with the key furniture pieces (sofa, chairs, console, dining table and chairs) and then a few months later added the side table, rug, light fixture, and mirrors.  Last week while I was in Utah we added the lamps and a few accessories and now we just need some window treatments a...
