Dear D'Arcy

5 Favorite Things You’ll Love Right NOW!

 

Hello Pretty Ladies,

5 Favorite Things You’ll Love Right NOW!

You know those things you wear on repeat or find yourself using over and over? That’s what today’s post is all about! My 5 Favorite Things You’ll Love Right NOW! I truly do have so many things I love and find myself using to death or buying over and over, like the Slide sandals below or the only Bra I ever want to wear. But I also find myself always grabbing this straw hat and lately wearing this Pearl Jacket over and over again. I could have added about 10 more things! šŸ™‚ ButĀ  I kept it short and sweet for you today. HEHE

5 Top Favorite Things Right NOW!

Hat] Gucci Band] SunDress] Denim Jacket] Gucci Sandals] Straw Clutch]

This look is perfect for Spring or Summer (remember I wore this for Easter.) I love a good Sun Dress and Fun on-trend accessories. But I am really here to Talk about this Hat and Hat Band. I love the shape of the hat; it works so well with many Spring and Summer looks. The band is sold separately HERE (Gucci but is affordable for Gucci). You can add it to any Hat or beanie, and it changes the whole look of the hat and outfit.

I own many hats and love all of them for several reasons ( I can get into that another time). I do, however, find myself grabbing this one several times a week because the shape is so good, it really does look good on every shape face, and as I stated above, it works with so many outfits. It’s a must-have in my book FAVORITE THING #1.

Shop the look below:

5 Top Favorite Things Right NOW!

FAVORITE THING #2.

The pearl embellished denim jacket, Can I say repeat, repeat repeat… I have worn it 3 times this week already, and it’s only Wednesday! šŸ™‚ Every time I wear it, I get stopped, and let me tell you, I wore it last week to Vintage Market, and I could have sold 100 of them if I had a booth! The detail and quality are amazing, yet it’s so affordable that you’d never guess it’s the dupe for the designer one.Ā  This seriously will be your go-to FAVORITE THING.Ā  Shop the Jacket HERE

Maggie] Ā Ā Bling slide sandal]Ā Ā  Pearl Denim Jacket] Ā Ā Victoria Emerson bracelet] Ā Ā Pearl Hoops

Here’s that jacket again! HEHE…

FAVORITE THING #3

The Maggie distressed jeans in white, High waisted, button flyĀ  (size up) I am talking about this in stories today, as I am doing a try on this very look, talking you through it. If you’ve been following me for a while, you know, I adore these jeans and own them in all 5 washes. So that right there should tell you, they’re a favorite. šŸ™‚Ā  That could be its own ” 5 Favorite Things You’ll Love Right NOW!” post.

Ā Maggie Jean is so easy to wear, even easier to style, and works with so many tops; you can achieve many looks wearing them. That easy Chic look, Casual Summer vibe, to rocker girl. All in how you style them. I even love them with a pretty lace detail top for a fun mix of distress and feminine.Ā Ā 

Shop the look below:

 

5 Top Favorite Things Right NOW!

1.] Black Quilted Sandal 2.] Orange Bow Slide 3.] Chunky Bling Slide 4.] Tan Leather Slide 5.] Stud Bling Slide

FAVORITE THING #4

The slide, I found myself owning several pairs of this sandal, without even knowing I love this type of sandal. I love how easy a slide is to wear; it’s very versatile to style and looks good with literally everything (well, except maybe a ball gown!)Ā  It comes in a variety of designs; you seriously can’t own just one pair. My Instagram feed shows several ways to style them, and trust me; I’ll be wearing them on repeat all Summer long. (wore above with the Maggie jean.)

5 Top Favorite Things Right NOW!

Soma Bra’s

Favorite Things #5

The Soma vanishing 360 bras are my all-time favorite bra. So comfortable you can wear all day long. I love it’s truly a vanishing bra, not visible under any shirt, let alone tee’s and tanks. I like an underwire, but they do make without the wire as well. This bra is true to size, super soft, and the best bra I have loved in a very long time.Ā 

Shope Soma Bras below:
