I thought it might be fun to get the scoop from locals on their beauty secret and how we can all benefit from it. Rather than approach total strangers on the street and start asking away about their secrets, I thought I would start with someone in the throes of the You Plus Dallas offices whom I admire. Her name is Sarah Beauregard, and she’s the most stylish “Manager of Everything” that the world has ever seen. (She’s also the author of the super fun Kittens and Pitbulls blog, which you should add to your blogroll.)
Sarah has gorgeous hair, and I have been wanting to know how she gets it to look fab every single day, so I used this as my opportunity to interrogate her….but for the benefit of all readers, of course.

Plaid shirts have a been a wardrobe staple for as long as anyone can remember, but it can be tricky to find a way to wear it without looking like a lumberjack. In fact, many men have expressed their dislike for plaid shirts on women because they find them too masculine, so the key to wearing plaid is to make it feminine and fun. First, to soften the look, don’t be afraid to Try different materials. While plaid flannels are a great cool-weather staple, the print comes in a lot of other fabrics! From light-weight, sheer cotton to thick flannel, there are many options at every price point.
Next, Find tailored fits. Plaid shirts are notorious for looking boyish, and Nirvana grunge-esque, so When choosing a plaid shirt, it’s important to pick a top that’s not too roomy. Afterall, you want to show off those feminine curves! You can go a little longer or oversized if you’re pairing it with leggings or skinny jeans, but I particularly like this look. It’s soft and pretty, because this basic plaid shirt has a tailored fit. It’s fitted in all the right places, and the colors are very traditional. Pair with a dressy, short black shirt and tights and it keeps the plaid shirt the focus of the outfit, but still keeps things girly. You can add to the sexiness of the the masculine/feminine contrast with a long gold necklace or string of pearls, and you’re appropriate for the office or a party.
My last bit of advice? Don’t pair your plaid with cowboy boots or a hat unless you’re going to be out on the ranch…keep it sexy and soft.

It isn’t actually Halloween yet, but stores across the metroplex are tempting us with pumpkins, witches, and fall decor of all kinds…even with the temps still hovering at 100 degrees. Though we might not have a beautiful fall like Connecticut or Colorado, we North Texans do get inspired by fall colors and objects of harvest. How can you get in the spirit? Here are a few quick and easy ideas…
- Make a fall wreath for your front door with faux fall leaves or mums from Hobby Lobby. It will instantly brighten your door and someone’s day! (Plus, Hobby Lobby has a host of metroplex locations and often offers a 40% off coupon online and in the Sunday paper.)
- Add some elements of the season to your mantle or fireplace. Collect leaves, pine cones, and branches or twigs you can pick up around your neighborhood. Then add interesting gourds, Indian corn, and colorful mini-pumpkins. Add some beautiful brass or silver candleholders and pumpkin spice candles for a lovely scent. I particularly love this Nest Pumpkin Chai candle.
- Fill a bowl or basket with fall colored fruit: apples, oranges, and lemons. Decorate here and there with sprigs of fall leaves, either real or artificial for a colorful table arrangement.
- Gourds are whimiscal looking! Leave them as is or paint them. Try hollowing them out and use them as candle holders.
- Spray paint pinecones with bronze and gold colors and display a handful in a large glass bowl or jar, or position them on a three-tiered cake plate.
No one seems to do fall decor better than Pottery Barn, so below are some of their classic seasonal inspired images (unless otherwise noted).

Stripes are most commonly found in nautical looks or pin stripes on a dapper men’s shirt, but they could not be contained in apparel for long. First making a splash with decorative pillows, stripes have become both trendy and classic. Oh sure, striped bedding has existed and there have been striped drapes hanging from windows since long before shag carpeting, but the striped wall and mix of striped patterns is a somewhat new phenomenon, and it’s gorgeous.
The look of this room from Sarah Richardson Design is the perfect balance of striped walls, chairs, and pillows combined with a soft, neutral pallette. The ivory and beige basics keep the stripes from giving you a headache and make the room have a less trendy feel. This room is beguiling for a number of reasons, but the mix of modern lines and classic styles with small pops of color (love those books on the shelf!) make it feel like a warm mug of cocoa on a cold day. Try painting your bedroom walls with subtle stripes for a dressed up effect, or if that’s too hotel-esque for you, give your powder bath a coat of the lovely lines. The powder bath is one place you can’t play it too safe.
