About Me

I am a Utah Realtor, Mommy of the cutest twins (Harlon & Lorelei) in the world and a wife. Before all this I was the owner and designer of the retro inspired Bombshell Styled Dixiefried. I loved doing Dixiefried but had a hankering for a small town life. Now we're here in the beautiful rocky mountains with gorgeous lake views and traffic to laugh at. But I sometimes miss the city. Especially all my girlfriends. BIG NEWS!! Dixiefried is back!! We are doing a joint venture with Pin Up Girl Clothing. It will be out FALL 08. I am so excited to see it going again!! I'd love your feed back on what we should re-launch and what you'd like to see new!

My Interests

Fashion Design especially 40 & 50's Style Glamour, Interior Design, architecture, collecting mid century modern and 50's items.Photography, Sewing and just creating fun stuff. Gardening, good food, wine and good conversation! I love traveling and have racked up a few destinations and adventures so far! My girlfriends and I have been to Costa Rica, Mexico, Italy, England , France. My husband and I went to Thailand in 2004 and I've been through most of the US. I really want to go to Spain, all through the Mediterranean and Carribean.

I'd like to meet:

Just keep in touch with my friends. Find fun things to do out here in Utah!

Music:

I like most music including blues, jazz, classic rock country rat pack stuff motown modern along the lines of Jack Johnson, Rob Thomas, John Mayer and the like. Pretty random all the stuff I like and I don't. Depends on the day and mood.

Television:

LOST, Desperate Housewives, Nip/Tuck, The Office, Chuck, Weeds, Medium, The Tudors

Books:

Haven't had time to read a book in years. Sad but true.
