12 of My Favorite Things Right Now You Need for Spring!

12 Of My Favorite Things Right Now you need for Spring! When I say “favorite things,” I know some people think that word gets used too frequently, and “How could everything be your Favorite?” Well…I Like to think of it as Favorite’s right NOW because our favorites change, and better things come along. We also have tried and true favorite things (more as our staple favorites), so see, although the “FAVORITE Things” term can get overused, it still does have different meanings.

With that said, Welcome to 12 of MY Favorite Things right NOW, a series I will be doing monthly. Featuring ALL the things I am loving and using like crazy that I think you would like to know about. Think of it as your look into seasonal favorites, things that can make your life easier, pieces. You might wear the heck out of and that favorite product you might purchase over and over.

12 of My Favorite Things Right Now You Need for Spring!

#1. Quilted Slide heels = This season’s must-have sandal goes with everything, and I seriously wear them multiple times a week.

#2. Maggie Jeans= My all-time favorite jean right now. I have these in white, black, and regular denim. Yes, I have 3 pairs, that’s how good they are. I love them, so easy to style, can be dressed up or down. I have several outfit inspirations on my Instagram. This is a mom pair of jeans with so much style; your daughter will want to barrow!

#3. ShadeM Lipstick =Seriously the best lip stains, 18 different colors to choose from. It’s none drying and stays on all day.

#4. Gigi Pip =The perfect straw hat. I purchased this last year, and I was so glad it was back for this season. Perfect shape and looks good with every sundress, shorts outfits, and swimsuits.

#5. Candle= I love candles year-round, and this one had the perfect Spring scent, Hibiscus Sangria, and the color is so pretty it will make a cute jar when the candle is burnt down. $14

#6. Tee shirt Maxi dress = This Tee shirt maxi dress with side ruffle detail is cute and comfy. I’ve been wearing it to death with my denim jacket and sandals. It is perfect for travel as it rolls up easily, easy to style, and is worn with so many shoe styles. I may have to purchase in another color. $44

#7. Tula Spray =You know I love Tula products, and I use many from their line, but this Spray is perfect to perk up after a long day. Great for setting your makeup, perfect for traveling (airplanes are so drying), and I love taking it poolside for a little cooldown. I have a bottle in my bag, in my beauty fridge, and my travel bag.

#8. Tula 24/7 = This Tula 24/7 moisturizer is a must for dry skin. I use this every morning on my face and neck, and it really helps keep my face moisturized all day long. I was so happy it came in the travel pack too. HERE

#9. Tarte = Tarte beauty products are newer to me, as people raved about a couple of products. I need to go check out their site, and when I found this Matte eye shadow compact, I was so excited. As you age, it’s important not to wear glitters as they can show wrinkles more. It’s tough to find a shadow pack that doesn’t have glitters in it. THIS one is completely MATTE. No glitter. LOVE LOVE. ( I did purchase several items from Tarte shared HERE for everything I purchased)

#10. Soma Bra= These are the only bra’s I will wear now. Comfortable, supportive & can be worn under teeshirts. If you haven’t tried a Soma Bra, you really need to.

#11. Swimsuit= This One-piece, one-shoulder Swimsuit is a show stopper, easy to wear, and definitely splurge-worthy. I love that you can also wear this as a bodysuit with jeans and trousers. So cute.

#12. Maxi Dress = This Maxi dress is flattering on your shoulders; it looks pretty with a tan. It’s just the right amount of flow without too much fabric. It’s gorgeous for Summer events, vacations and perfects to wear all season long.

A Maxi is always a fun choice & Spice, or rust is actually a popular color for Summer, shown here with the cardigan, paired with a chambray Maxi dress ( this one was purchased at Magnolia Farms (I linked very similar ones) HERE and accessorized with another On Spring trend the pearls. Here I played with the Pearl trend & featured the Kendra Scott Pearl and silver pieces. It shines pretty with the chambray. Finishing the look off with a bootie and sun hat!

In Utah, Spring can be chilly (even snowy). This gives you the layers you need and a closed-toe shoe.

This is a cute look for Easter and can take you all the way thru Spring and into Fall. With a few styling adjustments. Add a denim jacket, taller boots ( I love cowboy boots with baby doll dresses). Even a long cardigan sweater is cute for the Fall season.

10 Valentine’s Day Outfit Inspiration You Can Copy!

10 Valentine’s Day Outfit Inspiration You Can Copy! Outfit inspiration is what you’re looking for? I’ve got you covered!

I wanted to put together outfits from my Valentine’s clothing rack that I shared the other day on Instagram. You could view it HERE if you missed it. It’s a great way to help you create outfits fast and use pieces in your closet you forget about. I’ll talk more about creating a seasonal clothing rack at another time as I know from all the feedback, this is a topic you want more of. (remember I did one for Fall and Christmas)

Creating Valentin’s outfits can be as easy as grabbing your red and pink items and adding fun accessories. I’ve shown below outfit creations from old pieces I’ve collected over the years and added new pieces. These outfits were created to be easy for you to copy by shopping items in your own closet. However, I did link the outfits if you wanted to add in a few new pieces. Some items may be sold out or no longer available. If that was the case, I linked similar items.

Under each outfit, I broke it down to a “menu,” if you will, to help you grab the like items and style the look from my inspiration. I hope this inspires you to go into your closet and create a fun look or two for the month of love.

Clothing Menu:

Jumpsuit cropped blazer, beret, heart necklace, and sexy heels. (jumpsuit is Eliza J and from last year)

Clothing Menu: Leather or Snakeskin jacket, festive sweater, jegging or leggings, booties, and heart glasses.

Hoping to help you get the most out of your closet, use the above closet menus and start creating your festive outfits. Did you notice some of the pieces on repeat? Good, I wanted to show you ways to wear the same item of clothing. It’s important to get multiple uses out of your purchases.

9 Things You Need For Your Fitness Goals In 2021

Let’s talk fitness, Not something I talk a lot about. Fitness isn’t something I really talk about because, well… I don’t really love it! I have found as I have gotten older, it’s even more important to stay active. I’m not a gym girl at all. However, I do love pilates, yoga, and weight classes. It’s not something I do regularly, but I am really trying hard to do. Adding these in more regularly has been something I am working on. I’ve always been very flexible; this has started to change. Losing my flexibility was something I didn’t want to lose, and I have prioritized staying flexible.

I have found I really like a good walk with my hubby, friends or family. A good hike with the girls is always fun and an adventure, and being outside in the fresh air and getting the much-needed vitamin C is how I prefer to get in my exercise. With that being said, I do know how important it is to keep your flexibility and muscle mass up. This year, I am making a better attempt to add in some strength training, a kettlebell, and more yoga and pilates. Adding in meditation, which is completely new to me but has been much needed for my mind and spirit.

Here are a few pieces I love, perfect for workouts, hikes, and even lounging.

Above I thought I would share some of the things I am loving and using right now.

9 Things You Need For Your Fitness Goals In 2021

Lulu lemon sports bra= I love the soft fabric and support.
Lulu Lemon Legging= I love it comes in 3 lengths (I need the longest). These are not see-through like some of the Lululemons I’ve had before. The fabric is butter soft and holds you in.
Yoga mat= I love everything about this mat, the feel, the comfort, and the design.
Northface jacket= I love a puffer jacket, and it is much needed in Utah. Winter and even Spring walks can be very chilly. Warm, comfortable, and stylish.
Water bottle= I really love the timelines marked to keep me on track. Drinking a lot of water daily has always been important to me, and this really helps.
Kettelbell= 10 pounds, not a ton of weight, but it gives you a good workout.
Meditation cushion= perfect for that quiet time. I love the look and comfort.
Collagen powder= So important for your joints and gives benefits to your hair, nails, and skin as well.
Walking shoes= so affordable and comfortable. I love the color.

Collagen is something everyone needs but even more important as we age. I add it to my coffee or tea in the morning. I have seen a huge difference in my hair and nails but, most importantly, my knees.

Yoga is great for flexibility, core strength, and your mind. If your weather is nice, try it outside, I promise you’ll love the sense of peace. Not to mention the importance of Vitamin C. Grab a girlfriend if you need a little nudge. (I use a Yoga class on Youtube) You only need 15-30 mins a day to see results. Here’s one I like HERE. For a successful Meditation, you really only need 10-15 min a day. Meditation HERE

I am so happy to share my blogging Friends with you today. Please hop over to their blogs to see ways they get in fitness!

Holiday Outfit Ideas for 2020

Holiday Outfit Idea’s for 2020, well, really for any Holiday year! So whether you’re playing it casual, Holiday shopping, staying in Pj’s or getting festive for a small Holiday party. I created Holiday outfit inspirations. Therefore, you should be able to shop your closet or add some new pieces to your Holiday wardrobe collection.

Holiday wardrobe

I say Holiday wardrobe collection, well, because it’s good to have a collection of fun Holiday pieces that you can add to every year and mix and match with current pieces to create new looks. And it should be looked at like building a wardrobe because building a Holiday wardrobe gives you a great collection to create outfits with ease. I have had some of the pieces for years, and I love pulling them all out year after year and seeing how I can wear it this year. Because looking festive for the whole season is not only fun but creates more cheer!

I hope this post really inspires you to dig in your closet and see if you have “like items” to help you create a fun Holiday outfit. As I said, a lot of my pieces are older and not shoppable, but I will create a shop this post for the items you can still purchase if you want to add a couple of pieces into your Holiday outfit collection.

I was wearing a green dress from Eliza J’s Holiday collection last year in the photos above. (photo this year) Shop this season’s dresses BELOW. You really could use any Green or red dress, layer with an oversize cardigan or boyfriend cardigan (black and white buffalo check is a shirt/jacket), tall boots, and a beanie to create this look. Perfect for Holiday lunch with the girlfriends, Helping out for Holiday school parties, or switch the boots for heels and add festive jewelry for a festive party look.

Holiday Sparkle

Here are a couple of dressed-up sparkly outfits, just if you are attending something a little more festive. I know this year’s Holiday party situation might look a little different. Therefore, it doesn’t mean you can’t get dolled up. I am one that is always a game for being overdressed! (hehe) I also am game for hosting a small Holiday party; let’s face it, we all need cheer! Both of these looks are still available:) Shop the post below:

Holiday Pj’s and Loungewear

This sure has been the year of loungewear and pj’s! Christmas pj’s have always been a family tradition since I was a child, and I continued the tradition with my family. We don’t necessarily have matching pj’s, just festive. Above I showed a couple of ways you could take your pj’s and loungewear to the next Holiday level. By adding fun winter and holiday accessories, it’s not just pj’s. It’s a PJ outfit! By outfit, I do not mean appropriate to wear shopping! (hehe)

The plaid pj’s are still available to shop, and I found some “like” items if you don’t already have something similar. Shop below:

Casual Holiday

More of you have stated you take the casual approach to Holiday outfit looks. Above I created several Holiday flat lays to inspire you. As I stated above, I like to dress all month festively, from running errands to attending a girl’s lunch, helping out at school, or shopping. You’ll catch me in one of these looks.

Really easy to create and even easier to wear. Most of these looks are created with a base of jeans and a sweatshirt, then layered with seasonal accessories to give them the festive vibe. Note the jewelry, shoes and winter beanies, gloves, and scarves. As a result, give that Holiday winter vibe.

See why collecting is a must? A couple of tips for a good collection. For instance, look for sale items (even after the holiday, when everything is on sale!) Perfect time to grab items to stash away in your Holiday box. Yes! I said Box. Like our Holiday decor, create a Holiday clothing and accessory box! You only use those pieces for the Holiday’s so why take up valuable space in your closet year-round. Plus, it helps keep all your items together to create fun looks fast. Another great Tip is to Grab a great festive ribbon and use it as a belt. The ribbon is cheaper than purchasing a bow belt, and you can create a couple of them! For instance, the Large red ribbon belt I created above, so festive and really completed the outfit and just for a couple of bucks.

Shop Like items below:

I hope you enjoyed some of my Holiday outfits for 2020 and left you inspired to create some festive looks this season. Now go check out my girlfriend’s blogs below for even more inspiration. Have a wonderful week, and make sure to add some cheer into your week. OX, D’Arcy

October Fall Favorites: Fashion & Home

Sharing with you some of the things that have been favorites for years and some added new ones to make this Fall the best yet. It’s no secret Fall is my favorite season, with Summer running a close second. October is my Birthday month and trusts me. I have no problem celebrating it all month long. I’ve been sharing all my favorite things to do, eat, and wear as part of my celebrating in my Instagram stories and my feed. I’d love you to follow me over there; I am sure you’ll love what I am sharing. Now for some October Fall Favorites: Fashion and Home.

Each season I add some new pieces to my wardrobe, as I am sure you do too. I like to add pieces that work well with items I already own and pieces that I happened to be purchasing, which is great a little wardrobe capsule. The pieces I purchased this year here on the rack happened to all work together perfectly for mixing and matching. You could literally pack all these pieces for a trip and be set for any activity. These pieces I will be styling all Fall season, and into Winter for you, so please stay tuned for styling inspiration.
SHOP the POST below.

Traveling in the Fall has always been one of my favorite things to do as well. Seeing other cities, exploring the beauty of their Fall, always gets me in the Fall spirit. Here I styled some of the pieces I shared above, just perfect for Fall in Central Park. Shop the Look HERE

This year I decorated my back deck. See all the photo’s on my Instagram HERE. We sit on our back deck a lot for Coffee in the Am to cocktails in the evening. So I decided Why not Decorate for my Favorite time of the year back there as well. Let me tell you it has been one of my October Fall Favorites! Shop the photo HERE

Fall Decorating to dress up the front porch entryway. I can’t pass up a pumpkin or mums this time of the year. I seriously keep adding until I can add no more…then I move to a new place I can add. I love grabbing the large potted mums at Costco as their a steal at $14, and if Costco has pumpkins, it’s great to grab those there as well, normally flat $5 same with Target $5 for any size med or large. For the specialty White, Cinderella, I grab at the Pumpkin patch, well, because I need to go to the pumpkin patch every year! It’s one of my October favorite things for sure.

Fall Favorite Foods:

The taste of the season if definitely all things pumpkin. Pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin scones, pumpkin chocolate chip cookies (my easy chocolate chip Pumpkin cookie recipe link below), Of course, Apple pie and yummy soups and bread always hit the spot on chilly cold Fall day’s. Check out some of the recipes I linked below from my kitchen. Below I added some of our family’s favorite ready-made snacks and a great creamer for a fast Pumpkin spiced latte.

I know Fashion for 2020 this far has been a lot of loungewear and cozy at home pieces. I don’t see that really changing, but I do see us moving more towards street style and adding those fun fashion pieces that are easy to wear and move in while adding in some style. You can be comfortable wearing and looking suitable for a zoom session. Let’s face it…it is fun to get dressed even if our social life is a little different.

Now grab a couple of fun New Fall pieces and head out to lunch with the girls, have a date with hubby, go for a drive or make a coffee date… your New Fall Fashions will be itching to wear all season long.

Fall is the perfect time to change up your home decor. I adore all things Fall, Pumpkins, the yummy scents of Fall, Spiced apples, cinnamon, pumpkin, leaves falling, cozy blankets, cute mugs, and collecting Pumpkins. Here are some of my favorite items for your home to give your home all the Fall vibes for 2020.

Saying Goodbye to Summer…Fashion I am packing away!

Do you have those Summer pieces you wore over and over and are sad when it comes time to pack them away? These are pieces that don’t transition into Fall. Summer short, Summer Printed tops and dresses, Sandals you loved, and those perfect Straw hats and Fun Summer Bags. I sure do, These pieces I wore to death all summer long and genuinely hated having to pack them away, Partly because it means the end of summer and partly because these pieces brought me joy all summer long.

These linen shorts HERE from Old navy I purchase in the stripe and four solid colors. So affordable, comfortable, and easy to style. I wore with a tank or graphic tee and if not to hot-finished off with a denim jacket. Shop the whole look HERE. Picking up summer pieces on SALE for next year is always a great idea and like Christmas when you unpack your summer clothing!

My favorite sandal this year by far! I purchased my tan shoes from my girlfriends little boutique Rowan in California. Best purchase ever, I could have worn every day they worked with every outfit I put together. Forcing myself to grab other sandals (lord knows I own plenty!) These would be great for traveling just for that reason. Here, and Similar in tan HERE and HERE

Those fun straw bags and favorite espadrilles we all love and collect scream all things summer! I am a sucker for cute bags and shoes. They get me every season, but especially in the summer. These are very hard for me to say goodbye. The struggle is so real 🙂 but let’s face it transitioning these cuties into Fall is pushing it. It’s time to say goodbye for now and see you in a year. Bring out the booties and fantastic leather bags, and this Fall, you might even be seeing some fringe. Shop these shoes here.

I like to store all my summer bags in the totes below; I like the clear bins so I can see them. I store all my Summer sandals in the shoe storage, also shown below.

I loved the Blazer and Bermuda shorts trend this year, Yes Blazer’s transition great into every season, but as I stated above, shorts are hard, especially in Utah. All though you can wear with a sweater and sweatshirt on chillier evenings or a crisp day, those days are far too little living here in Utah or Mountain communities. Packing these guys away, Tip, I like to roll all my shorts and store in bins showed below. Shop this look HERE

More shorts and here I am showing one of my favorite Summer straw hats, Spf 50 sunscreen built-in! Straw hats unless its a cowboy hat is for Summer and time to pack away. Shop this look HERE Now, thank goodness Kimonos transition well for Fall unless a bright Summer print, so keep those out for a little while longer.

Check out at the end of this post how I like to store my hats and other treasures.

Shop my Favorite Shorts on SALE from Nordstrom sale below

Although I love, I move all my Floral, summer printed tops, skirts, and dress in summer colors to the back of my closet. My Fall and Winter wardrobe is full of darker and more Fall & Winter seasonal colors. Black, gray, cream, wine, spiced, mustard, navy, etc. Shop this look HERE

Floral Prints and what to do?

Saying Goodbye to Summer…Fashion I am packing away! My love of floral prints always has me sad to see them go. Fall color florals transition into Fall so you can keep those out for a little longer, but as I stated above, Summer florals should be packed away. Note my favorite sandals here again:)

What do you do with those seasonal dresses?

Dresses can be so versatile and can be great wardrobe builders, but unfortunately, some dresses do scream their season, like above, it truly is a Summer/Spring dress. Find it HERE. Just like a sweater dress is a Fall/Winter dress. If you purchase a ton of this season’s tee shirt dress, You can keep those out and transition those into your Fall wardrobe by adding layers and wearing with booties or tennis shoes. Suppose you have darker colored or dark or fall printed dresses that transition perfectly as well. I’ll be sharing some Fall transition looks all upcoming week in my stories and my Instagram feed, so make sure you follow along.

Sharing with you what I am Saying Goodbye to Summer with and what Fashion I am packing away! I hope I inspired you to say goodbye to Summer in a pleasant way and maybe even get a little organized to make room for that Fun FALL fashion. ( Hope you checked out My Fall picks from the Nordstrom SALE HERE, HERE, HERE)

Do your Pack up our closet or shift you’re seasonal close to the back?

Speaking of packing, do you pack up your Summer clothing and accessories, or do you move them to the back of your closet? I do both, I pack up some items, and I shift other pieces to the back. I thought you might like some of my favorite closet organizing containers for packing up Seasonal pieces in your closet. These pieces can also help you organize your closet regularly.
