“Coastal Grandmother”

It’s a vibe…. not an age, and no grandkids are required. And Everything about it is just “GOOD”! The coastal grandmother is a “coin Phrase” for a classic coastal look that’s been in style forever.

Are you a Nancy Meyers movie lover who loves cooking and drinking a glass of wine while doing so and who loves an Ina Garten recipe? Do you enjoy chic interiors, fresh flowers, and a good recipe, and don’t miss a farmers market?
What about Wearing breezy Neutrals, loose lines & Gauze, and a touch of stripes? Straw hats and large bags? The Diane Keaton vibe in “Somethings gotta give.”

You Might be a Coastal Grandmother!

Do you love it? You are a #coastalgrandma. This phrase is all about the vibe, not the age….
I’ve been a coastal grandma my whole life😂😂😂 #oldsoul. I am sharing ways to style this easy classic look and some tips for creating your “coastal grandmother wardrobe!” with classic pieces you’ll wear for years.

Extra pieces that bring this look to life!

The “coastal style” is part of the “Coastal grandma” vibe. Coastal style must-haves are a cozy knit cardigan, straw hats, large beach bags (perfect for holding flowers and a bottle of wine), Crisp button white shirts with a popped collar, easy-to-wear sandals, or white tennis shoes. A touch of chambray or light denim adds to the look. These are all pieces that make this style classic. Keep in mind this is an easy-breezy “beachy” style. Easy to wear and will never go out of style. It might just get a new “coin phrase.”

GTU TV Segment

Tips on packing light & stylish:-

Packing for a weekend can be daunting And overwhelming, not to mention over-packing. A great way to avoid over-packing is to pack items that mix and match well. Along with items that serve a couple of purposes.

For instance, Soma Soft Wrap can be worn as loungewear, a lightweight jacket over a dress or paired with jeans, or with your workout wear. You could even use it as a bathing suit cover-up.

The Soma Cotton gauze robe could be worn as a robe, bathing suit cover, and as a duster pair with jeans and a tank.

Packing items that can serve a dual purpose really helps keep packing easier and lighter.

Tip 2

Packing everything in a color theme really helps, with packing fewer shoes (which saves a ton of weight and space.) Also helps coordinate and minimize the jewelry and accessories. Along with helping with the above tip, things mix and match better.

Did you know Soma makes clothing?

Soma not only has the best bras and undergarments, But they also carry a wide variety of High-quality clothing and great prices. The styles are always on-trend, have great fabrics, and fit well.

Spanx Shorts Styled 2 Ways

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.

: Great for Travel

Casual Chic Styling

The casual Chic styling above is perfect for a Chic Casual look
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.

Shop the Look below:

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.

: Spanx Short

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.

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.

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.

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:

: Black gold Millers

: Red Millers

: 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:
