Dear D'Arcy

Friday Favorites and Weekend Sales #10

Friday Favorites and Weekend Sales #10

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Happy Friday! I hope you have something fun planned for the weekend. It’s beautiful here in Utah, and I am looking forward to a fall foliage drive with my hubby and lunch out. I am now one week and two days post-operation and a little tired of being at Home. The little outing will do me some good.

Other than that, I feel better every day and must remind myself that I can’t do everything I am used to. As I am sure you are aware, we moms go go go and do do do, and we do have to take the time to heal when we have something wrong with our health. Slowing down and taking the time you need to heal is okay. I keep reminding myself of this daily.

Today’s Friday Favorite: I share five things I have loved and used several times during the week, including some items that make me happy. Do you have some things you use daily that make you happy? Sometimes, it’s just the little things.

Today’s Friday favorite’s

Having a Hysterectomy at Midlife Tip

Having a Hysterectomy at Midlife Tips.

“Healing in a matter of time, but it is sometimes also a matter of opportunity.”

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Today, I am sharing a little about my hysterectomy. I am one-week post-operation and feeling pretty good. I could return to some normal activities by how I feel now, yet I know I could do damage and set myself back. It’s also not recommended by the doctors as a hysterectomy is a 6-week healing process… So, I am still taking it easy, reminding myself to rest and let my body fully heal. That’s so hard for us busy “doer” types. 

 

 

Health Update: 

One week today post operation ✔️, I shared a touch about having a Hysterectomy a couple of weeks ago on my live with Suzanne @crazyblondelifeblog. If you want to watch, it’s in the feed HERE. I had a large tumor in my uterus (more prominent than a grapefruit or baby’s head) and an enlarged uterus.  The surgery went well, although much longer than estimated. It took 51/2 hours (average Complete Hysterectomy takes 2.5-3 hours). The surgeon also told my family it was one of the most complex surgery she’s ever done.

I have a high pain tolerance, and honestly, I wasn’t in much pain from the Hysterectomy. I was tired, it hurt to go potty, and I had mild cramping. The worst pain was in my shoulder, and I mean horrible pain. What I learned was called shoulder strap, and it’s prevalent after surgery, from the gas that they pump into you for the surgery, which travels up and settles in the shoulder when they set you up. Man, oh man, does it hurt! I wish I had known this was a thing, and I could have prepared, but knowing if I took some gas X, it would have gone away much faster. For me, it took about day 5 to get relief.

Upcoming updates:

I will share more updates and how I feel as the weeks go on, in case you are curious about or may consider having a hysterectomy. It was surprising to learn that 50% of women must have a Hysterectomy. Another big concern is a hysterectomy sends you straight into menopause. I am 51 and haven’t had a period in over a year, maybe two years; I believe I am already in menopause or hopefully past it. I’ll keep you updated as time goes on with the after-effects of a Hysterectomy. I’ve shared my prior Hormone Journey Here

I feel so blessed in many ways…

My surgeon knew I wanted a complete hysterectomy, and I wanted laparoscopic/ vaginal surgery with a 6-week recovery versus the abdominal way with a 12-week recovery. 

Blessing #1: God is good, and always in complete control🙏🏻

#2Blessing  The Surgeon listened and worked hard to give me what I wanted -versus doing what was easier for them.🙏🏻♥️ 

Blessing #3: I was scared of surgery as I have never had one… Power of Prayer🙏🏻 from Family and friends. I had complete peace the day before and the day of surgery 🙏🏻♥️

Blessing #4 NO Cancer

#5 Blessing: fantastic family and friends sending love, prayers, meals, and flowers🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻 I feel so loved!

Blessing #6 Forced to slow down, which has allowed me to work on things for my business♥️

Blessing #7: I woke up😂

A quick couple of Tips:

-Communicate with your Doctors and surgeon! If you don’t feel you’re getting what you want or need, get a 2nd opinion.

– Ask a lot of questions???

-Make sure they hear you and your concerns!

Get your wardrobe ready with this Fall edit of the new season’s trends I’ve spotted. From sophisticated Modern Prep, to cool Biker Chic and versatile Denim Remix, They’re real trends for real life, curated just for you. Fall trends you can wear at any age.

Summer Styles That Can Transition Into Fall Barbie Approved

Get your wardrobe ready with this Fall edit of the new season’s trends. 

Cargo pants – sharing a fun twist with the Satin cargo pants. Great to dress up with a festive top and sparkling jewelry for date night or cocktails.

Coated jeans – are a must from metallic to faux leather, easy to style with a button-up top, or a sweater, or layer them both and add a blazer. Festive for the upcoming holidays as well. 

Denim on Denim – layering denim pieces for a chic, easy Fall outfit. Denim on denim makes a great basic outfit, And you can change its look of by adding a 3rd  piece…. 

TIP: A great 3rd piece could be… a blazer, cargo jacket, Leather jacket a sweater cardigan. The possibilities are endless✔️ Add some texture and pattern with your accessories. Below I added faux calf hair leopard print loafers and a pop of metallic gold with the clutch.

The rich bold color of Red – from Red clothing to a pop of red with accessories. This color is coming in hot for Fall and looks great paired with cream and brown tones.

Tip: red looks good on everyone, just find the right shade that will work on your skin tone.  Picking the right Blue or orange undertones makes a big difference in your skin type

Wide-leg jeans & pants – If you only purchase 1 new Fall item, make it a pair of Wide-leg jeans. So flattering and versatile. Dress them up or wear them casually. Flattering on every body type. Just make sure to wear a tighter top to keep the look balanced. I love the Spanx wide-leg pants and flares. They fit great and flatter every figure. (shared below)

Layering Cardigans and Blazers– Take the traditional Fall cardigan and blazer and make it New by layering the cardigan or vest under the blazer for a chic preppy look. The best Blazers that flatter the figure and taper at the waist are by Gibsonlook (shared below)

Tartan Plaid– a Fall staple🍂 but for 2023, we’re seeing it on everything from shoes and accessories to sweaters, pants, and dresses. Not a pattern for just blazers and coats this season.

Sweater Dresses– Another Fall staple, worn with boots and layered with blazers, denim jackets, and even a leather jacket. In 2023 we’re seeing in in every length and neckline. I love the turtleneck sweater dresses. 

Turtlenecks– Not just for your average ski sweater in 2023… This classic and preppy style is showing up on dresses, tees, lightweight sweaters, and chunky sweater styles. Perfect for fall layering and adding a classic and polished look to any outfit. 

Trends we’re still seeing:

Still going strong are the silky slip dresses, the corset look, Sweater dresses, and the Boxy blazer. We saw them last year.

TIP: Make it fresh by adding in one of this season’s trends. Add a sweater over a slip dress or pair it with a blazer. Wear a boxy blazer over a turtleneck sweater dress, and maybe pair that corset over a turtleneck body suit and wear it with wide-leg pants. 

9 Fall trends you can wear at any age

🍂Fall seasonal go-to’s.

Neutral color tones and fall plaids are always in season this time of the year. 🍂 Fall seasonal go-to’s like these Tartan plaids, turtlenecks, and layering Cardigans and blazers seem to always be on trend for fall.

TIP: Pairing these Fall seasonal go-to’s with something fresh and on trend this season upgrades your fall wardrobe without spending a lot of money.

Barbie Color Mixing for Fall

Pink is a great transition color. It’s a color we often wear in the Summer, last year we saw it in a lot of Fall fashion and we will again this year. Pink looks great on every skin tone and pairs well with shades of Fall. Mix pink with creams and browns, and bring those summer pieces into your Fall wardrobe. I have a fun Reel to watch HERE

Think neutrals, feminine and a little flirty, in shades of Pink (blush and Hot pink), creams, ivories, and browns. Shades that look beautiful in the Summer yet transition into fall with a breeze. Barbie🌸 loves floral, pretty details, a good ruffle, and attention to detail in clothing and accessories.  Gibsonlook has launched a new Now and Later collection that fits right into my theme and several of their best sellers in the perfect shades of fall.

Barbie Accessories

Remember, dressing Barbie as a little girl. Accessories were some of the most important finishing touches. This is still true as you get dressed today.  Accessories finish off the look. Pay attention to the details.

In-Stock Items To Purchase on The Nordstrom Sale

Hello pretty ladies. I hope your week is going well. Yesterday, I headed to the Nordstrom sale with my sweet friend Cammi, From Cammi’s Happy Place. We had fun shopping at the sale, doing try-ons, and having dinner at the Nordstrom grill. Have you eaten at a Nordstrom grill inside of Nordstrom? The food is always so yummy, and they give you refilled drinks in to-go cups, which is always a plus in my book. 

As you know, I love to share wardrobe builders and great classic pieces from the sale with just a couple of cute and fun trendy pieces. This is a great time to pick up some of the premium denim and more design pieces at a great price, as they usually don’t go on sale any other time of the year. 

I searched the racks for items that would make for great basics and pieces you’ll wear on repeat all season long and for years to come. That is still in stock in both stores and online. Many Premium denim sells out fast, but I found some great pairs still in stock in all sizes and great fitting. Nordstrom does restock often throughout the sale, so it is worth checking back often if you have your eye on something that is sold out. 

Below is 4 outfits I created with all In-Stock Items To Purchase on The Nordstrom Sale.

Part 2 Summer Time favorite Moment’s… A little Sa Part 2 
Summer Time favorite Moment’s…
A little Saturday Series, I am doing to finish out Summer…

We officially have 3 more weeks left of Summer☀️🪴🪏🌻

I thought it would be Fun to share some moments that make my “favorites”❤️

🚨Come Back Next Saturday to see what made my list….

Today’s “Summer Moment”
Exploring the state we live in..
Ben and I have always loved embracing where we live, by getting out and exploring..
Doing stay-cations, pretty drives, enjoying the great outdoors and exploring fun little towns and the charming small business that fill them.

We love a good day date and Midway, located outside of Deer Valley, is a charming 🇨🇭Swiss town, that we’ve enjoyed bring our family to for years. 

It’s evolved over the years, (know for hosting “Swiss Days” 🇨🇭 the first weekend in September), is full of darling small business, from Cute gift & home decor shops, farm stores, several delicious restaurants, a charming book store, and something our family loves several farm to table shopping and eating establishments. 

If you love to support ranches, farmers and small local business, this is a must visit town. 
⛰️Surrounded by stunning mountains, green pastures and gorgeous ranches. 

Here’s a few of our favorites:⬇️
@havenhaus_co 
@ballerinafarmstore 
@thedaintypearco 
@folkloremidway 
@midway_mercantile 
@hebervalleycheese 

The @zermattutah is our favorite Charming  Swiss 🇨🇭Hotel to stay at, and our boys always loved they’re pool in the winter😉

Tell me, what’s something you do in the summer to make “moment’s”?

Come with me as I redo my porch from Summer ☀️🪴to a little pre-Fall🍂

Using Great Basics.. that makes it easy to layer in Fall in a couple of weeks✔️

I love these Weather safe woven baskets, that makes it easy to change out your plants and flowers per the season.

Using boxwoods now and will switch to mums in a couple weeks.

Striped rug to layer in black and white is a great  base now and will look great for fall 🍂 layers with a large welcome mat. 

Boxwood wreath with black and white striped bow and a welcome sign above.

Adding layers of iron lanterns… I’ll add  fall bows later.
