Hello pretty ladies, 

Hoping you had a beautiful Mother’s day. I took the day off social media. No Mother’s day tribute to my mom or about being a mom. I love taking the time to do a good tribute and read all of the tributes being posted. But, yesterday, I just wanted to keep my phone put away. I know you, sweet ladies understand that. 

I shared these great shorts by Spanx on Saturday over on my Instagram. “Styled two ways.” I realized that would make for a great quick styling blog post. On the go, 6-inch inseam Spanx shorts fit amazing, are a perfect length for moms and midlifers (if you like your legs), are a flattering fit, and are easy to style from casual to date night.

That you can wear almost anywhere… From shopping with the girls, traveling, and brunch, These will definitely be part of my weekly Summer staple ✔️  I love a good stripe shirt and denim jacket look. This has a Parisian feel, with that bit of pop of leopard on the messenger bag strap, adding just a touch of extra print detail.

Spanx isn’t just Shapewear.

Spanx doesn’t just design shapewear anymore. They have a full line of very figure-flattering clothing, from sportswear to dresses. I have been sharing their pieces every season for a while with you as I am a Spanx Partner, which gives me a slight advantage at sharing the Brand New releases just a little bit earlier.

Dressed up short, Styling.

Spanx shorts dressed up, this classic black short, is so easy to dress up for a date night, Summer bridal shower, or even a business lunch meeting, depending on how you style them. I wore a fancier top (lace over black bodice top shown here) paired with pearl accessories and a dressier summer sandal. But you could easily wear them with a blazer and heels with a dressy button-up or blouse. The possibilities are truly endless.

Printfresh Pj's and My Strawberry Shortcake Recipe

 

Printfresh Pj's and My Strawberry Shortcake Recipe

Strawberry Shortcake Recipe:

You’ll love this easy Strawberry Shortcake recipe, and so will your family. It’s so easy and oh so good. 

You’ll need:

-2 packs of strawberries (cut up into small slices)

-1 small basket of strawberries washed and the tops removed (for garnish). I like a sprig of mint too.

-1 cup of sugar

-pound cake, angel food cake, or fruit snack cake cups (we like the cake cups or Pound cakes.)

In a large bowl, add cut-up strawberries and sugar, let sit to get juicy, then with a masher, smash up strawberries into a mixture of chunky strawberries & juice. 

Homemade whipping cream:

-Heavy whipping cream (Cold) (depends on how many I am serving to what size pint, quart) 

-Powdered sugar 

Whip heavy cream with a mixer until stiff peaks, and slowly add powdered sugar until the sweetness you like. ( we like a little sweet, not too sweet) 

Assemble Strawberry Shortcake:

Take a cake, layer the strawberry juice and a dollop of Whip cream and then layer a cake and repeat strawberries and top with whip cream and garnish with a couple of large berries and mint. Enjoy.

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

I am sharing my love for Anthropologie, Neutrals, and my Good friend Shauna from Chic over 50 today on the blog. Shauna and I both love Anthro, yet we couldn’t be so different, she loves a lot of colors, and I love neutrals, she petite and I am tall.  We thought it would be fun to take two pieces, a chambray top and a pair of Mother’s jeans, and style them two ways… Her way and My way and on two different body types. (for size reference, Shauna is 5’1.5″. Size 0-2, I am 5’9.5″ and 6/8)

Sharing the pieces on two different body types gives you a better vision of what it could look like on you. Both pieces look great in different heights and sizes. Plus, it gives you the style inspiration in 2 ways. So fun, right?

Shop the two pieces below:

 

 

Shauna shares her love of color with three great Anthropologie looks over on her blog Chic over 50. You’ll need to head over there and check out what and how she styled them.

5 Spring Questions: We’ve Got Favorites For!

5 Spring Questions: we’ve got Favorites For!

5 Spring Questions: We’ve Got Favorites For!

 

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

The other night on our Chit chat chic Live, we had a fun “show and tell ” 5 Spring Questions: we’ve got Favorites For! And We thought it would make for a great blog post, with all the information and products shared. So, below is a recap of what we shared in case you missed it or needed a refresh. (Shop this outfit above Here)

 

 

1. Share a trendy accessory you’re loving right now.

 

        Accessories are a big LOVE for me. They really do finish off an outfit and show your personality. I love a big statement ring, Arm Candy has always been a favorite, and this is 2 of my daily arm Stacks lately …My go-to earrings are always hoops… Classic, work with every hairdo, and really never go out of style. I tend to purchase from Kendra Scott, Uncommon James, Gorjana. I also have several Micheal Kor’s. As I love the quality and they always have great styles.

5 Spring Questions: We’ve Got Favorites For!

The ring finger is a 24-carat gold ring from Cartier ( I linked an affordable similar ring )  middle is Tiffany, the pointer is Kedra Scott on my wrist is a Diamond Tennis bracelet, layered with a Kendra Scott, and MiGnon Faget bracelet. 

Some of my Favorite pieces, and go to Rings are below:

 

 

Arm candy Bracelettes:

 

 

 

 

Below are my go-to Hoops, which I repeatedly wear, with the beaded ones above my latest obsession…I have in Cream and just ordered the white.

 

 

2. What spring/summer sandal style will you wear (or are you already)?

 

           Can I say, “I love Sandal season!”  I don’t think you could ever have too many pairs!  So, with that said! I will share what I’ve purchased this year, what I’ve been already wearing to Death, and the classic sandals I wear every year and add a new color to the mix.

Below are the styles I’ve already purchased and worn to death these last two months already.

 

 

Below are the sandals I have just recently purchased below:

 

 

The Miller Sandal by Tory Burch is an all-time classic and truly looks great with everything all Spring and Summer. But, if I were only to buy one sandal all year, I’d pick these. (I purchased my first pair in black leather over 8-9 years ago.) I believe (when they first came out) and have since added White, red, and natural.

 

Here’s a couple of outfit inspirations wearing THE MILLER sandal below:

June instagram recap
Summer linen is one of my favorite things and clearly yours too. You guys purchased a ton of these pants, and I wasn’t surprised because they are one of my favorite things, easy to style and were on SALE.

Shop the white linen pants Here and the outfit here.

 

3. What’s your favorite retail store currently? And why?

    This question truly is hard… because it depends on what you are looking for. So I am turning it around to where I’ve been shopping lately and what I have purchased!

–Evereve -Spring Wardrobe builders= Linen pants, Dress, Trench coat, shoes, Tank

–Free People =Jeans, Duster,

–Anthropology = Candles, Pant, lip Balm, Mug, Sweater, and Hat

 

–Nordstrom= Tennis shoes, Miller sandals, Deodorant, Earrings, jeans, Gift

–Saks= Sandals, Handbag, sandals, belt, perfume lotion

–Amazon= Seriously, too many items to list because I order something every day from household to clothing 😂  Here’s been a favorite or two: Watch charger, Barstools, slippers, Jewelry Organizer, Blazer

 

–H&M= wardrobe basics in Neutrals see my $100 challenge HERE

–Loft= The BEST joggers I wear on repeat and a denim mini skirt I love so much I bought it two years in a row🤦🏼‍♀️

–Target= Like you, I am sure I shop at Target weekly for anything from Food to clothing and home goods. A Target trip brings me joy♥️ But Honestly, Target has been a real miss for me lately on the clothing… Here are a few things I did pick up on the Home goods side that brought me joy.

–Bohme= Wide-leg Denim, Top, Tee, and Bralette

–Avara= Top, jeans, Tunic sweater (save 15% with code DARCY15)

–Sephora= Charlotte Tilbury eyebrow set, Charlotte Tilbury lip liner, CT Lipstick, Perfume, YSL Lipstick  (Stay tuned for my Sephora Haul Tomorrow for the Annual SALE)

–Cabana Life= Resort wear perfect for pool time and tropical vacations. Tunic, bathing suit, pool pants, dress

 

 

4. What do you like to wear to sleep in?   

 

     Cami and short sets are my go too. I love a chemise and, on occasion, a PJ pant set, but it has to be super soft, and I do like the cool nights by Soma. I am very tactile and like my pj’s to be very soft, including lace. And I really like a cami-style strap.

My favorite brands are:

–Soma

–Adore Me

–Hanky Panky

–PJ Harlow 

-Pj salvage 

–PrintFresh 

Print fresh & Pj Salvage I wear Around House and lounging (I do not sleep in). I adore their patterns and styles—these work to be comfy and cute around the house as a mom of boys.

Shop Some of My Favorite Below:

5. Hats or no hats?  

 

 If you follow me, you already know the answer! Hat adoring girl here! I’ve collected hats since Jr. High school, and I still have some of them! I adore a good hat of any style. From Ball caps, beanies to Felt and straw! I will definitely spend good money on a high-quality hat, but that doesn’t mean I won’t grab an affordable, trendy one.

Here are a few of my All-time favorite hats, and a couple of my latest purchases:

Tula’s face scrubs are one of my favorite skincare items. The Pumpkin for this time of the year smells fantastic. I love how my skin feels after I use this gentle soft exfoliant. I use it 2-3 times a week. A great stocking stuffer and gift for the beauty lover on your List. Save 15% off with code DARCY15

9. Uncommon James Square Hoop earrings 

I am a hoop girl, hoops are my go-to earring choice, and I love the unique shape of the square. (I have in two sizes) You’ve proven to love the shape as well. These were the 3rd top seller this month.

10. Capri Blue Candle

Capri Blue candles are always a best seller for me every month. Of course, the Volcano scent is a top seller year-round, but their seasonal candle scents are unique for Fall and Winter. These candles burn clean, have no soot, burn for a fantastic amount of hours and come in the prettiest jars that you can use after for flowers, odds, and ends, etc.

New Fall Try-on at Evereve

New Fall try-on at Evereve. There is something about Fall Clothing that always has me wanting more. The Layers, cozy sweaters, fun boots, and cute jackets. It’s a season I can’t resist adding more pieces to my collection. Evereve gets new arrivals daily, and I love the brands they carry. Pieces of clothing work for moms and midlifers, classics and trending clothing, yet brands you know last.

I love pieces you can mix and match. I wanted to create great outfit inspirations for this Fall try-on using some of the same pieces to show you how versatile they could be and give you multiple looks. So, over on Instagram, I created an IGTV  complete try-on video, talking about each piece, how they fit, sizing, and more details.

Latest Fall Arrivals Try-On At Evereve

Latest Fall Arrival’s, Try-On At Evereve! 

Evereve try on

FALL is here🍁🍂  I shared a try-on Haul video a couple of weeks ago over on Instagram…With the latest Fall Arrivals from  @evereveofficial 🖤 @shopatstationpark, It was a huge hit. So realizing,  I should share it on the blog for those of you that like to view content and all the shopping details in one spot. (I know Instagram is getting harder and harder to see content and connect to the proper shopping links.) So the good news is… Making a conscious effort to blog more consistently and make it as easy as possible for you to view, shop, and receive content all in one place.  

Here’s the full Fall Arrival try-on video. Here over on my Instagram, walking through all the details and how each piece fits. Knowing several of you love the try-on hauls, video style is easier to explain through video. So I’ll do my best here on the blog to share. Hopefully, you’ll get the same feeling.

I like to add new pieces to my wardrobe each season, and one of my favorite stops is Everyeve. Always finding the brands I love, in the latest on-trend styles, Perfect for women of every age. So here I am sharing my picks from the latest Fall arrivals that you’ll wear all season🍁🍂 ( you’ll be seeing me style these pieces on repeat✔️✔️✔️ You might want to grab a few of these for yourself while they’re still in stock. 

The Chic Chat Chic Girls had a wonderful opportunity to shop @evereveofficial hosted by @shopatstationpark after enjoying an amazing Lunch from @twigsbistro! Finding the latest fashions all on display. The staff at all Evereve are so helpful ✔️🖤  They put pieces in our dressing rooms they thought we would love, and of course, we brought in pieces we knew we wanted to try on. Because of this service, they provide it really does help make the shopping experience fun and is convenient for those who don’t love to shop or need help styling. 

Below you will find the pieces I tried on, how they fit, what I loved, and what went home with me, along with how I styled it. Even better, a “shop this post,” an easy and convenient way to shop the pieces.

I always love a good striped tee, and this long sleeve tee with little detail at the neck is so soft, you’ll want it in a couple of colors.  It fits true to size, can be worn alone or layered. I paired it with the camo shirt unbuttoned and another look with the reversible baseball jacket that is really on-trend this Fall. Both outfits I paired with my all-time favorite sneaker. (This is the coolest sneaker and one of my best-selling items.)

—Vlog— Surgery Day How I prepared the morning of —Vlog—
Surgery Day

How I prepared the morning of surgery to remove my 
Melanoma Cancer on my face…

A few things that helped me for the 4-6 hour surgery day.

-Started day with Warm lemon water 
-Prayers, Devotion and journaling. (This helps start your day off right and with strength and peace)🙏🏻
- My Doctor suggested having high protein (I made A high protein Smootie with High antioxidants & Vic C for healing

- Washed hair & styled as I wasn’t sure when I would get to take a shower & wash hair,due to Stitches & bandages on face.

- Essentials, ear buds to listen to a podcast or audio book, my lap top in case I wanted to watch a movie, ice water, a protein bar, lip gloss, a charger and a hair tie❤️

- Comfortable Clothing 

If you want more details on my Melanoma Journey 💪🏻I have two LIVES🎥 in feed SHARING the details the day before, on what to look for, what the difference is between skin cancer and melanoma, what mine looked like and  What procedure the surgeon is doing , as what we did prior to prep, and answering questions-labeled Part one in feed and I am wearing a denim top.
&
-The day after surgery- sharing how it went, results, how I felt, a peek at how far the stitches went, what care is, and next steps as well as answering a ton of questions I received in DMs.  That one you’ll see the bandage on my face😉

I am being very real and authentic with you in sharing this journey, to help spread awareness on the importance of having your skin checked by a dermatologist.🧑‍⚕️👩‍⚕️

While also showing how smoothing so small can take a lot of work to be removed, while also showing…. It will be ok, and you may feel scared and think you’ll never look the same, but you can be brave, trust the process and we’ll heal and look normal again:) It just takes time😉❤️💋💪🏻🙏🏻

Update: Today is 7 days after surgery and I had my stitches taken out yesterday! 
Now the real healing begins. 
I finally had a decent nights sleep, my face is swollen, I don’t look like Frankenstein anymore😉 and although the scar goes from my under eyelashes to my jaw, it looks better then I thought it would. It’s pretty flat and the Dr, who stitched me up did an amazing job. ❤️#melanoma

5 Days of Family Fun … Wrapped up in 20 Photos✔️ 5 Days of Family Fun …
Wrapped up in 20 Photos✔️

I can’t tell you how fun the last 5 days have been full of family, adventures, building memories and reminiscing of past. 

Although we do try to get together often, this was one of those rare times, we actually had more time, more intention and something Nana, really needed more then ever❤️ 

No rushing, no drama just togetherness and enjoying each other …

Along with some fun Utah activities and places. It truly was a great time together ❤️

I’ve been sharing a lot in stories 🎥

Planing a trip to Utah?
Here’s a few places and things we did, that everyone enjoyed.

@thegrandamerica (the cocktail lounge is where we surprised nana) beautiful hotel, great cocktails & live piano & harp music- gorgeous lights and the Laurel restaurant is so good.

@proskijor  Horse & Ski Event in Heber (2 day event) 2 dates and locations on calendar for Utah 

Midway -a cute little Swiss town next to Heber, with great restaurants and little shops. @ballerinafarmstore  is located here and a must stop.

Park City & Deer Valley- Great Ski town full of everything you’d expect and more. @jcrew had a Olympic Clothing collab pop-up (I had to check out) 

With a large group & perfect for Car  enthusiasts Billy Blanko Mexican restaurant can accommodate you and it’s a very fun vibe part of @billwhiterestaurants 

@themercantile_on25th  is a great brunch & The girls loved the iced lattes 

@snowbasinresort is our local ski resort (my families fav) Stunning lodges with good food to hang out in , if your not a skier and amazing terrain if you are🎿🚠

I’ll be sharing more details and a few more fun things later this week……Wait tell you see what the highlight of everyone’s Trip was….I bet you can’t guess💙💙

It’s something EVERYONE loves and can’t get enough of 💙

#familyfirst❤️ #familyvacay #utahtrip #wintervacation
Never underestimate the power of joy & the healing Never underestimate the power of joy & the healing family can bring❤️🙏🏻

When 6 Grandchildren & their spouses along with parents traced from 3 states to surprise their Nana….

Not only did they get the reaction they hoped for…. They gave her what she needed❤️❤️

It’s been one year since we lost Papa and this surprise lifter her sprints more than they could have hoped for. 

5 days of family bonding, sightseeing in Utah with love and a lot of laughter! 

I highly recommend a family surprise visit to help lift a family members spirit.

There wasn’t a dry eye 🥹in the lounge at the @thegrandamerica 
One of the waiters came up and said “I knew something special was going to happen… Was the sweetest thing to watch🥹❤️”
He even thank all of us❤️❤️❤️

(I think he wanted to hug Nana too😉😂)

The joy of family, family heals, lifting your spirits
