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:

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.

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.

9 outfit inspirations you can easily copy from our girl’s trip to park city Utah Staying at Yotel Pad. Easy looks to transition into Fall, some we even styled 5 ways for you. WE enjoyed working with some amazing brands on this trip, from WHBM, Chico’s, Spanx, Print fresh, Peepers, Station Park, Evereve, and Soma.  Showing our style in what we choose, from how we decided to style the pieces.  We even decided to pick a couple of things the same ( Spanx jeans & Spanx leggings) and style them differently, giving you 5 ways to wear them. 

Interestingly, all 5 of us wear the same size, but due to our heights and body shapes, we all wear them differently. I hope you like the style inspiration and check out all the lady’s blog posts (linked at the bottom of this post) to see how we styled differently.

They’re there to make you look your best while helping to make your shopping experience easy. I never leave the shop empty-handed. 

7 Fall Transition looks from Evereve

Fall Transition= It’s that time of year when we start thinking Fall. The kids are heading back to school, which means school shopping and shorter days are approaching. Finally, we get a few cooler mornings & evenings, and Summer is coming to an end. I will share some fun ways to take some of your Summer pieces and transition them into a Fall look while incorporating some Fall 2021 on-trend pieces from EverEve. 

Here are a few of this year’s trends. What’s even better is they are so easy to mix & match! I incorporated:

  1. Camo (yes, it’s still strong as well as Stars)
  2. Cargo Pants= Jogger Style and Skinny
  3. Cropped Cardigans with big buttons (hip bone length)
  4. Chunky Kicks
  5. Mules 
  6. Chunky chain details
  7. Blazers 
  8. Shacket (a shirt / Jacket) This year, it’s more fitted, not as bulky 
  9. Braided detail (shown on booties)                                                                                                                            (There are several more Fall Trends, and all share those soon in a post)  

The Look above is a great casual chic look that’s easy to achieve using your Summer Camis and Denim Jacket. Worn with these darlings Camo Joggers and chunky New Balance Kicks. (I love the nubby details) STYLING TIP: Pulling the joggers up a bit makes it look weather appropriate and Chic! I can easily wear a graphic tee versus a camis.

Shop the look below:

7 Fall Transition looks from Evereve

In this look, I am wearing the same pieces as above, swapping out the denim jacket for this year’s on-trend cardigan. Note: The cardigan is hip length and has large buttons (you’ll be seeing this a lot). Adding the chunky chain mules instead of Kicks. This gives a less casual look to the joggers. 

Shop the look:

 

7 Fall Transition looks from Evereve

Another way to wear camo and cargo but in the skinny leg, very leg flattering if that’s one of your body features you like to focus on. (I do as my trouble area is my middle) paired with the mules again, but you could wear the Kicks if you wanted to. I liked the mules with the blazer, although blazers and tennis shoes are trending as well. Note: The Blazer is more fitted and has cute sleeve detail and collar. 

Shop the look:

(The tee is in stock in stores but unfortunately wasn’t linkable. )

7 Fall Transition looks from Evereve

Cargo loving again! This pair is a Satin finish skinny cargo, again leg flattering and very affordable.  Wearing the same graphic tee, pulling out the denim jacket and the tennis shoes. Gives a totally new look, but your using your pieces multiple time. A great way to get versatility out of your clothing. Perfect pieces of packing for a trip!   Shop the Look below:

7 Fall Transition looks from Evereve

Taking that Summer Tee shirt dress into Fall with Braided Booties and Shacket. The shacket has been trending for about 3 years and really came on strong last year! It was Oversized (a Jacket skirt combo) and normally bulkier. I love how this year, the trending Shacket is shorter and more fitted, a thicker flannel if you will.  Shop the Look:

 

7 Fall Transition looks from Evereve

Days when it’s still warm enough for shorts, but you want a little cozy, Add a fun Cropped cardigan worn over a cami or tee, even wear it alone and buttoned up. (cardigans worn alone is trending) Paired with braided detail booties. It’s a fun Fall transition look.  Shop the look:

 

Summer cropped jeans, give them a Fall update with Chunky Chain mules and a Printed leopard cardigan. So easy to wear and light enough layers, you won’t get too hot.  Shop the Look:

 

7 Fall Transition looks from Evereve

What pieces Came home with me! Yup, I told you I never leave empty-handed! Actually, I own a version of almost all of these pieces. Like I said there easy to style, very versatile, and can be worn in many seasons. So why did I choose these 4 pieces to come home with me? 

Shacket due to the new flattering styling, and I adored the color, not to mention I have a version of the dress. Joggers, I purchased the shorts and adored them all Summer, so I knew these Joggers would be a favorite. Free People gets me every time, and this chunky cropped cardigan was a piece I knew I would style on repeat. Finally, kicks…well, I am a sucker for shoes, and the details on these got me!      Shop the look:

11 Bridal Shower Gifts for the Bride, She’ll Absolutely Love!

11 Bridal Shower Gifts for the Bride, She’ll Absolutely Love!

Personal Bridal Shower Gifts 

  Looking for a unique Bridal shower gift? While I  recommend sticking to the registry for wedding gifts, a bridal shower is a perfect opportunity to gift something a bit more personal. It’s also a chance to give the Bride something that can be used on the actual wedding day, honeymoon, or beyond.

11 Bridal Shower Gifts for the Bride That She'll Absolutely Love

Consider the bride’s personal traits and hobbies when selecting a gift. Does the bride like to cook, Has a hobby, entertain or travel? It’s fun for the bride-to-be to be surprised by a unique gift that she might not think of for herself. (I love giving an outfit for the Honeymoon) Whether the gift is useful or indulgent, she’ll surely appreciate the sentiment behind it.

The Pj’s above would make for a darling shower gift for the bride or a perfect gift for the bridesmaids. Throwing a Bridal Shower or bridal brunch? How cute would the color scheme be, using the pj’s as color inspo?  “Tiffany blue” Such a cute shower inspo. (the mug is a Tiffany & co. China cup) HERE

11 Bridal Shower Gifts for the Bride That She'll Absolutely Love

A Bridal Shower is a Time to Spoil the bride.

While it’s wonderful to select something from the couple’s register for a bridal shower gift, it’s also a great opportunity to gift the bride something special. Personalized gifts (like the cheese board above), pretty lingerie, jewelry, a beautiful candle to burn as she gets ready on her day, and a Custom top are all thoughtful presents that put the spotlight on her.

Molton Brown, a beauty line and a complete splurg. This is a gift she’ll love and will look beautiful on any bathroom counter. I purchase mine through Skin Store

What to Wear to A Bridal Shower

Depending on where the bridal shower is, and the time of day, it depends on what you should wear. Is it in the garden, at a restaurant, at an event center? This is to be considered while planning your outfit. I choose 9 dresses that could work for any Bridal Shower. From a Bridal Brunch, a Romantic Garden Party, a luncheon, or Summer night dinner.  There is a Dress above that would be appropriate. 

Shop the post:

How to know How much to Spend on the Bridal Gift

Since the bridal shower is a little more casual than the wedding, the price range is also more flexible. Spending between $30-$80 on a gift (on the lower end if you are not particularly close to the bride and higher if she is a good friend or family member). Is a normal budget. You could also join in with a friend or family member to purchase a larger gift. 

This week over on Instagram, I’ll share All things Bridal Shower, From Outfit inspiration, gift wrapping ideas, a must-have tool, party ideas, and a couple of recipes. And heading on a trip and taking you with me for a real-life bridal shower. Make sure to be watching stories! Have a Beautiful week.

11 Spring Fashion Trends You’ll Love!

One of the things I love about the season change is the NEW trends that can give your wardrobe a little refresh. It doesn’t mean you have to go out and purchases a whole new wardrobe. It means you can add some fun new pieces to what you already own to give the pieces a new FRESH look. Isn’t that one of the things we love about Spring? FRESH

Although several trends are happening this Spring, I picked 11 Spring Fashion Trends you’ll love and be able to easily add into your wardrobe without spending a lot of money. Plus a couple of easy tweaks you can incorporate to be right on-trend.

11 Spring Fashion Trends:

  1. Boho Home Decor
  2. Babydoll Dresses
  3. Shirt Dresses
  4. Western-Inspired
  5. Straight-Leg Jeans
  6. Chunky Gold Links
  7. Pearls
  8. Studded
  9. High waisted Jeans
  10. Middle Part
  11. Crocodile Accessories

#9. Is featured HERE. High-waisted denim with a wide leg and distressed detail. This Maggie Mae jean by Free People is one of my ALL time favorite jeans. I own it in every wash. (size up due to the high waist) Easy to wear and to style.

    This is one piece I would suggest you grab to give your Spring wardrobe a refresh. If white isn’t your thing, You can grab them in Denim and black denim.

#8. Stud details= Featured on the bow sandals is a cute monochromatic stud detail I adore. These popular Valentino sandals are a splurge, which I linked below. I have had a couple of seasons and adore them. I felt they were worth the Splurge, knowing I would wear them for several seasons, and the stud detail is very subtle. 

Shop dupes Below:

#3. & #4. Killing Two birds with one stone… The shirt dress looks great on every figure. It is easy to style, can also be worn as a duster. I love it hides my tummy (my trouble area). Shop my Hat HERE

This Shirtdress also incorporates trend #4  Western-inspired with western details in the pockets detailing and buttons. The western-inspired is very easy to achieve by adding a cowboy hat, a plaid button-up, or simple western details, as shown above. 

Show the look below:

 

11 Spring Fashion Trends You'll Love

Here are a couple of subtle & easy Spring trends you can add to your Spring wardrobe…. Chunky Gold Chainlink details (shown on the bag)  Pearls are ALL the rage this Spring (detail on the Sunglasses)  Studded detail shown on the sandal. The Shirt Dress is making a big statement, and this one also incorporates the little western detail on the pockets. Let’s not forget about the middle part,  Have been wearing a Middle part since I grew out my bangs several years ago. But this year, it’s been talked about a ton by the younger generation! they’re saying, ” You show your age with a side part and skinny jeans!” (this is a whole other subject, and I’ll go there another time!) Insert laughter!

Layered over the Shirtdress to show another way to style it is the Eyelet duster. Eyelet fabric is popping up everywhere this Spring, from Swimsuits, dresses, and denim detail.

Although this look has several Spring trends happening at once… It doesn’t scream TRENDY or overdone…. It’s ALL in how you bring the Small details together to pull the overall look off. Allowing you to be on-trend at any age.

I also love these little trendy Spring details; they won’t break the bank and can be added to your own piece. Shop this look HERE

#6. Chunky Gold Links

#7. Pearls

#8. Studded detail

#3 Shirtdress: I layered it with another trend Eyelet, shown here with an eyelet duster (I didn’t list this trend)

#10. Middle part11 Spring Fashion Trends You'll Love

#5 The straight leg jean… Don’t worry; the Skinny jean isn’t gone! It’s just taking a back seat to the Straight leg jean. Here I am wearing the Straight-leg jean in a mid-rise and a frayed cropped hem. I prefer the mid-rise to the high rise, as it hit me better on my body as I don’t have a waist and my trouble area is my middle. In high-rise denim, you’ll need to go up a full size, and it really does shorten my already shorter torso. And let’s Talk REAL…I don’t love what a high rise does to my already flat butt:(!

All my height comes in my legs. I am 5’9 1/2  for reference and wear a size 6 to 8, depending on the jean. In this case, it’s the brand Level 99 denim, and these are a size 28 (let’s face it, my size also depends on my fluctuating weight of 10-15 pounds!) THANKS, Midlife, and menopause!

A couple of reasons it’s great to own a straight leg. They look great with the on-trend clog sandals. As skinny jeans could give you that elf effect 🙂 ( Insert Giggle), They really flatter the leg and add a longer leg appearance. And they look great with tops tucked in to show off your waist! Can I say, “Pull out your BELTS!” 

Shop some of My FAVORITE mid-rise jeans below:

By some of my personal brand favorites. These are brand favorites because they fit so many body types, have great stretch, wear fab. These are some of my go-to jeans for styling clients and what I purchase. Brands like Kut from the Kloth, Not Your Daughters Jeans, Madewell, and Level 99. (some say HIGH rise but trust me, I tried on or own, and they are ALL mid-rise on me)

 

Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you love my take on this year’s Spring trends. Don’t forget to follow me on Instagram and Liketoknow it for daily inspiration and shopping finds. Have a beautiful day!

🖼️I started collecting antiques when I was 16… I didn’t want a car, I fell in love with an Antique dresser and mirror and asked for that as my Birthday present.

🪏I started gardening and baking along side my mom, probably in a high chair❤️

🍎Which lead to winning my elementary schools pie baking contest when I was in the 2nd grade..🍏Apple pie) with applies from our yard.

📚In the 3rd grade I won a hot air balloon ride for 📚reading the most books in elementary school that year.

🎨In the 5th grade I started a handmade card club at school to drop off a senior centers 

🍽️my love of entertaining, started in elementary school, For fun I would plan dinners(my mom and I would shop for them & I would cook for my family as well as set the tables pretty, have ready when my family came home. 

I had a mom who taught and shared her love of hospitality, creativity and “grandma hobbies” way before I could fall in love with Martha Stewart as a young teenager in the 80’s..

Not only did I want 17 magazine & vogue, I wanted Martha steward living, better homes and garden, Ina Gardens cook books, and anything made by Ralph Lauren .

I got my real first job at 15 (so I could buy (RL) at the cutest home decor and interiors shop, owned by the most creative and talented lady (Susie), who gave me my love of wallpaper, and playing with pretty things… I was doing her window displays at both her shops by 16… 

🌸So, I guess you could say … yes, I Skipped the midlife crisis, and  I’ve been doing “Grandma Hobbies”  my whole life!

Now… if I could just get someone to teach me Mahjong … I Really need a reason to buy these tortoiseshell scallop tile holders, pretty tiles and set a gorgeous table😉🤣
