White Jeans and Wedge Sandal Wednesday

Wednesday already! I am sure you all love a short week like I do.

Today I wanted to talk to about White jeans…I know some of you are afraid of White jeans! You don’t have to be there is a White jean for every body type. One of the reasons I LOVE Kut from the Kloth jeans. They make a body style (named after girls for every body type) Plus super affordable $79-89 a pair. They fit true woman sizing 0-14 so order your size or a size tight because they stretch.

Catherine= A boyfriend jean, which is loose fitting, cropped and fits at hip. Perfect for someone who doesn’t want tight on legs or bum. (I am modeling this fit in photo)

Mia= a ultra skinny leg & tight fit but has a ton of stretch (this is the body style I most always am wearing due to my skinny legs.) This jean works great in a boot and is perfect for someone with skinny legs or that loves a tight fit.

Diana= skinny jean but on most I feel this jean is more of a straight leg. Its not super tight (does not show cellulite) and works on everybody type. Has a touch higher waist but not a mom jean. The Diana is there BEST seller.

Natalie= is a flared leg jean for those who don’t feel they can rock a skinny jean. Also great on a long leg.

Kut from the Kloth has about 6 other body types named after girls as well. I just did my top fav’s.

All of these body types come in white and can be worn on any size figure. So if you are hesitant about wearing white jeans, please try a pair of Kut from the Kloth’s you’l love and be so happy you did.

Reasons to own a pair of white jeans…… There classic & crisp and go with everything! You can wear year round but are an essential piece for Spring & Summer! A white jean is very chic! You’ll be seeing me in a ton in the months ahead!

Now that I hope I have convince you to buy a pair of white jeans lets talk about the strap wedge sandal or wedge ankle strap sandal (I am wearing the strap wedge in this shot) in camel color. Its a must have wedge, you can stand all day in it. You won’t kill yourself if your not a heal wearer and its a classic color that goes with everything. This wedge style can go with shorts, jeans, dresses and skirts. Its a shoe that is Huge on the Spring Trend list but I feel it really is a classic. Every designer is making this shoe so you can find it anywhere from $35-350 depending on the designer. Mine where $39 at Chic Style Utah last year with a close look alike coming in soon.

Way to do the Holiday’s in Pink

Holiday in PINK

Re-thinking the Traditional Holiday red & green for this years Holiday Color💕 it’s ok not to do the traditional colors and decorate & wear colors that make you happy. Pale pink is my favorite color, I think it makes for a fun Holiday color, Soft, looks pretty with fresh greenery and perfect in Snow. Nothing like a big cozy sweater in your favorite color to help you enjoy the cooler weather and enjoy the Holiday festivities . Branch out and choose a color that makes you look and feel good😘

Sweater by Leith, jeans by Edyson, shoes Badgley Mischka, large pink ring Zenzii, eyeliner Teddy by Mac and Lipstick and liner Chanel 05 mordore nude liner / 54 boy lipstick

Enjoy your Holiday season ❤️D’Arcy

Way to Wear Flared Jeans

Sts flared Jean trouser
Areve lace top
Christian Louboutin shoes

The Flared Trouser Jean….It’s not always about the Skinny Jean. All though the skinny is super versatile. The flared Trouser has a great place in your Jean pile. The flared Jean works great for a dressed up look Shown above & perfect for making your legs look longer. Typically sold with a longer hem works perfect with a heel and you want it to cover the top of your foot so your shoe peeps out, given you a longer leg💕 Now who doesn’t want that! 😘

Enjoy your week❤️ D’Arcy

NYFW …. The clothes! What to wear when you attend NWFW In the Fall….With this being My First Time, not a lot of time to plan and unusually warm weather, I felt I did pretty good on the packing and choosing the right outfits for for shows, travel, sightseeing and Nightlife. I didn’t feel out of place or uncomfortable in any situation but I did learn pack only clothes that photograph well ( I wore a pretty dress that I love to the Social House event and It doesn’t photograph well…. It was perfect for Brunch which I knew It would be but I knew in my heart it wasn’t going to photograph well and it didn’t!) not having time to change to get to Social House…. I missed out on Having some great photograph opportunities….

I would make changes for sure….. Pack More skirts & dresses, only clothes that photograph well, I didn’t need as much jewelry as I packed…. ( narrow down Jewelery to go with each outfit!) being my first time I brought Casual and dressy for each outfit❤️ I also brought to Many shoes Way to Many Shoes Narrow down to My Favorite Black Heels, shoes to match my dressier dress, 1 pair of sandals, pair of Tennis shoes and 1 flip flop and 1 Bootie or wedge! Really Take the time to match. Shoes to multiple outfits…Shoes weigh a lot and you really need the spare weight!

Things I packed that I was so thankful for…. My black waxy leather jeans I wore 3 times and made 3 completely different outfits with different tops, jacket, shoes and accessories (sorry we were rushing so much of the Time we forgot pictures of some outfits) my leather jacket… Not because it was cold (it was unbearably hot a couple of the days) but to add a cool factor on your shoulders! My Hobo bag ❤️ goes cross body for sightseeing And travel day’s, 1 pair of trendy jeans, shoe pads, gel for the heels, foot cream, Bandades, 2 portable charges, airborne and aspirin.

NYFW (The Shows) Part 1

NYFW ( New York Fashion Week) A dream since I was 10!

As a little girl I played Barbies just to dress her and design her house… I have love Fashion from planing my school outfits to getting dressed up for Dances or compete in Pageants! As I grew I scoured Magazines and love to window shop and of course shop! I would watch the award shows just to view the red carpet. To attend NYFW Was one of my biggest dreams. Not to just Fly to New York and be in the city the week it was happening… But to actually be apart of shows, parties, influencer parties and soak in the excitement of what Fashion week is all about!

My Dream came true when My sister called and Said “I got contracted to do Makeup for NYFW… You should come with Me!!” WHAT … Is this really happening!!! It was and so the planning, contacting and research began!) oh…. And what was I going to wear!!!! ???? Between Owning a Boutique, my contacts with Style Collective, contacts I have made over the years and of course My Sister’s (Tiana Holiday) contacts and connections we started to plan our Big week…. We had just 3 weeks to Plan and organize what would be our first vacation ever together, not to mention a dream come true for both… And we get to experience it together! Pure Joy❤️

I will be sharing our experience in 6 parts…. The Breakdown of NYFW

The Fashion Shows

The Parties

My Outfits (and some of my sisters)

The food

The sights

The swag

The shows…. This is not an easy task to get into a Show Small or Big…. So we were Blessed to attending 1 show let alone 6 shows with seats (hows have seats and standing at each show) Specially at such short notice! (God was really working for us) People work at getting into shows for months prior!

Here is a peak at the Shows I was LUCKY to attend.

Anniesa Hasibuan ss17 collection @ Skylight the final gown

Seeing shows first hand and being able to see a good verity of shows, from New designers to established designers was such a treat! The Quality of clothing, the craftsmanship and detail was amazing on different levels. Some of the shows weren’t my style but you could appreciate the Craftmanship or Just one piece you could see how you would style it! I love the Venues, each so different and ALL over the city! Exciting to feel the different energy of each show and of course people watch! ( people watching is one of my favorite things! I could hear my mom telling “their story” in my head❤️) Fashion is different to everyone… Quality, design, Trendy, personal flare, affordable , expensive , classy AND at Fashion week you see it All!

Truly felt blessed to have gotten this exsperience and I have to tell you it was better then any of my hopes & dreams! Now that I have done it once and learned so much… I would love to plan really plan really prepare …I ‘ve got the bug and do it again next year! I have a better Idea of what to expect, what to pack , how to plan, what events to do again, what to show up extra early for and what to skip!

Hope you enjoyed the shows through my eyes and looking forward to Post 2 of NYFW…

How to wear some of Fall’s Trends right NOW

How to wear some of Fall’s Biggest Trends Right Now

We get it: It’s Hot out! Nobody wants to hear about puffer vests, beanies, and boots in the midst of a late summer heatwave or Indian summer. We can daydream about the cooler season head or be tempted by, the cooler mornings and changing leaves.

Fall is one of My favorite seasons, and All the September magazine issues are out! Full of This year’s Trends, picks, and styling guides…

I love wearing a plaid skirt with a tee and style with this SEASON’s HOT choker trend…

This season’s hottest trend. The choker wear with anything for that cool factor

Plaid Skirt Worn with a tank or tee looks Fall and layer with a jacket when it gets cooler.

Denim… Patched denim or distressed Boyfriend or skinny jean paired with a tank or tee layered with a fur vest on a chilly night or shown with a top layered over lace and a pointed heel finishes off the look!

Leopard is always a Fall staple.
