9 Items for A Spring Home Refresh

Hello Pretty Ladies,

I hope your week is going well. Happy March! We celebrated our 27th wedding anniversary over the weekend and have been trying to get into the swing of a new week. It’s been a harsh winter in Utah this year, and with Valentine’s over, I added some simple Spring touches to our home this week and shared over on the gram. You all loved it so much that I thought I would recap nine simple and affordable little touches you could add to your home for a spring feel.

9 Items for A Spring Home Refresh from my home tour🌿

Affordable and simple items to refresh little areas of your home! 9 things you can add to give your home a little refresh for Spring and add to the sense of sight & smell.

Adding Spring to the Kitchen area

If you’re like me, we’re primarily in our kitchens, and I like to start adding in the season here. You can make simple and affordable little changes that have a significant impact. I want to create tiny little vignettes for the seasons. For example, I start at my sink area and purchase new countertop cleaner, dish soap, and hand soap in a fresh scent of the season, add a new scrubber and a little silk pot of flowers, and a scented candle.

The cleaners and soaps are $3.99-$2.99, adding such a spring impact for so little money. The stand you can use every season for under $20, and a new little wooden scrubber is $6; I think it’s a cute little detail. A little silk flower pot is $6-9.00, and you can find spring candles for $10. This Fresh linen and Sea salt candle smells so good. Fresh and clean for Spring.

Spring Touches with color in mind

Add these cute striped ruffle dish towels, a Jute rug, Spring 40 oz Candle & candles, little birds, and silk flowers. To your space, please give it a fresh look and light up your room for Spring. Think lighter colors and colors of Spring that will work in your area. I choose yellow, green, white, and the natural color of jute.

Fresh flowers bring the outdoors in

I love fresh flowers too. Something about fresh flowers that make your home feel like you’re bringing the outdoors in: if you have been following me for a while, you know a bouquet of fresh flowers is something I treat myself to every week. I love trader joe’s, Costco flowers, and our local flower shops.

Changing out your Rugs

Changing out your rugs can make a significant impact on your space. Removing heavier fabrics and replacing them with lighter, airier ones, like jute, give your room a softer feel. Rugs can range in price, and you can find reasonable ones at places like Target and home goods. But I love Boutique rugs, and they are always having a sale. This darling jute circle rug comes in several sizes. I chose the smaller size as I knew it would fit perfectly in front of my sink and fridge. The circle is a fun change instead of the usual rectangle shape. (I got the large round for my entryway. )

Spring Center Piece for your Kitchen Island

Spring centerpieces can be easy to create, from a bowl with fresh lemons and limes to a simple flower centerpiece. You can get creative and use a dough bowl to add a bird’s nest and birds or bunnies. Of course, spring candles and fresh flowers are always a favorite. I will share several more ways in feature posts and stories on the gram, so tune in over there.

An excellent coffee table decor book

The Cozy White Cottage Seasons coffee table decor book is one of my favorite home inspiration books, and this one has 100 ways to be cozy all year.

Items I love to use for decor no matter the season

Vacation Mode Activated Cabana Life

Hello pretty ladies. Spring is almost here, which means Summer is around the corner! This means Spending more time outdoors, and Beach & Lake Vacations are fast approaching. I love nothing more than spending time in the water. Whether poolside or beachside. Cabana Life resort wear is perfect for the whole family. Clothing that protects you, Spf 50, and UV ray protection.

Cabana Life Clothing

I love that Cabana Life clothing can take you from the beach to lunch. It’s fashionable and practical. Every piece travels well, along with not taking up much space.

I love that every collection has a matching swimsuit, making packing easier. I took several pieces to Palm Beach, Florida, which helped me easily pack and organize my outfits—being able to mix and match some of the collections as well. Like in this outfit below: From the Jetties Beach & Nantucket Collection. The colors work together even though the patterns are different. It makes for a fun combination.

Don’t be afraid to mix and match patterns if the colors are the same. It works out great.

Shop the Photo:

The terry cloth tunics have long been one of my favorite pieces from Cabana Life. I love how you can wear it as a bathing suit cover-up and a dress…. But it’s even cute, worn as a tunic paired with linen pants. A very versatile piece that takes you from the pool to the street.

Fashion tip:

It’s always a good rule of thumb to think of 3 ways to wear a piece of clothing before purchasing it!

I am wearing the Naples collection Rufftops Maxi skirt and triangle bikini top💙 The Maxi Skirts are fantastic with a white linen button-up and Cabana Life’s Accessories. Perfect for a lunch date or pull-on over a swimsuit. You can’t go wrong with this Skirt and a denim jacket on a fantastic night; it takes it from day to evening. The colors in this collection are the prettiest shade of blue.

Meet My New Favorite Jewelry French Kande

Hello Pretty ladies,

I hope your weekend was full of love and blessings. We laid low, worked on some projects, and lounged at home. I’ve been on a seven-day cleanse, and staying home helped me to stick with it. I’ll be done on Thursday, and then I am doing a 10-day reset, followed up with whole30 or keto. I’m not sure which one yet, but I know it will be High in Protein and fiber. I’ll keep you post over on Instagram and probably do a follow-up post. In case this is something you have an interest in. I would love for you to let me know in the comments below.

As for today’s blog post share.

Meet My New Favorite Jewelry line French Kande, a beautiful handmade jewelry line inspired by french medallions. Perfect for dressing up a tee, a Crisp button-up, or LBD. I fell in love with French Kande’s story. I adore Paris and love medallions and pearls. What a perfect marriage for a jewelry line. Combining two of the things I adore caught my eye quickly. I also love chunky jewelry, things that have a story, hand-crafted pieces, and women-owned businesses. So you can see how falling in love was easy for me.

The story of the French Kande Medallions.

Most of French Kande’s pieces are created with a medallion from France; behind each medallion is a story/history. I don’t know about you, but I love knowing the history of pieces or items. Maybe my love of Art History. Read more about each medallion HERE.

My first piece of French Kande Arrived in December

My first piece of French Kande Jewelry is The Chemins medallion two-strand necklace. I couldn’t wait to style it with my Spanx LBD 3 ways above. See more HERE

French Kande Piece I now have in my collection

The Chemins Medallion Necklace–

This necklace features two 17″ strands of white Freshwater Pearls with silver wire and Lyon chain, exclusive Immacule bail with our Micro Austrian Crystal backplate, and Chemins medallion. Beautiful all by itself or layered with our other designs.

EMERALD PEARLS WITH ENAMEL MONT JOYE MEDALLION AND AUSTRIAN CRYSTAL Necklace-

This necklace features 28″ emerald Freshwater Pearls with silver wire and Golden Druzy accents, our exclusive Austrian Crystal Canal bezel, and a Gold Enamel Monte Joye medallion. Beautiful all by itself or layered with our other designs.

Meet My New Favorite Jewelry French Kande

SIGNET RING WITH WHITE PEARL CABOCHON Ring-

This stunning ring features our exclusive Signet bezel with a substantial white shell pearl cabochon. Beautiful all by itself or paired with our other designs.

BRASS LOURDES CHAIN WITH GUSTAVE MEDALLION Bracelet-

This bracelet features our bold but classic Lourdes chain, our exclusive Dunes bezel, and the Gustave medallion. Beautiful all by itself or paired with our other designs.

Adding A little piece of French Kande to your collection

Adding unique jewelry pieces to your collection can help accessorize your wardrobe. Like with anything, you, of course, need to purchase what you love and what calls to you. French Kande is an investment piece you will own forever and can pass on to your children as a beautiful keepsake. Even one key element can be used to mix and match with the jewelry you already own, as I shared HERE on Instagram. Want more style inspiration with these pieces? Make sure to watch Instagram and Instagram stories as I will be sharing French Kande inspiration often.

Mixing and matching jewelry can be fun, helps change the looks of pieces you already own, and creates a great statement to even your most basic outfit. Jewelry takes your business to the next level; it’s so crucial to accessories. TIP: Having a few key pieces of jewelry you can wear with any outfit also helps, then you can add in statement pieces like French Kande.

Thank you

Athleta Spring Haul Wardrobe Refresher

Hello Pretty Ladies,

As you are reading this, I am on a little Ski trip with my husband for his birthday in Sun Valley. We needed this little break together, and I was looking forward to it as it’s one of my favorite trips. We return with the family in March for our annual ski trip, which is also a favorite time. But there’s just something about taking the time to spend time together as just a couple, wouldn’t you agree?

Before we left town, I headed to Station Park to meet my friend Cammi at Cammi’s Happy Place for a little Athleta try-on, lunch at Twigs, and our Bookclub Live we did for Chico’s. Always fun to spend time with her and get a little work done. Business and pleasure, as they say.

Here’s a little peak at Athleta’s Spring arrivals

Don’t you love a little workout wear refresher for Spring?🌿 I love a whole wardrobe refresher for Spring, but living in Utah, winter is long, and wearing Spring clothes will take a couple more months. But Spring workout- wear we can wear now, and let me tell you, adding in Spring wherever I can help add a little cheer to these cold dark days. Athlata seems to have workout wear that can quickly transition into streetwear. You can pair a sweater with jeans or an outer vest from the gym to grab coffee with a friend.

Come check out Athleta’s Spring pieces and do a little try-on with me. Below are a few fun NEW Spring pieces I loved and thought you would too💙🌿 as well as two spring shopping guides.

Athleta Spring workout wear

Hot Pink, fresh whites, and dark Sage green, along with Lavender and mauve, are the colors of Spring for Athleta this year—a fun, bright colorway for Spring. You can’t help but smile when walking into the store. Most of you know I am a neutral color-loving girl, but a pop of color says Spring to me. Especially green.

Shop the Post: Tap on the photos below:

Athleta Spring Fabrics and styles

Even though spring colors are a draw, the lighter-weight fabrics, easy-to-wear styles, and function are essential too. Athleta’s attention to detail, form, and function is on point. I love the flared yoga pants of the 1990s coming back in style; they are so flattering. Excellent layering pieces with drawstring waist details help jackets from looking boxy. COzy soft crew neck sweatshirt paired with loose white linen pants you’ll wear all Spring & Summer. You really can’t go wrong with any piece, and no matter the sport or lounging you want to do.

Shop the Photo:

Athleta Basics

I no black isn’t very colorful, but it is a go-to basic, and I wanted to share my go-to pieces that you could wear year-round and add a little pop of color with just one item. You’ll wear this quilted vest repeatedly, making it a great streetwear piece.

Shop the photo:

A criss-cross sweater in Cobalt blue paired with flared leggings is a great transitioning Spring look, warm yet a fun pop of color. All the pieces I am wearing are TTS. I am in the med in both sets.

What to Wear and Do on A Girl’s Trip

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Are you as happy to see the weekend as I am? Today, I am joining my friend, Dawn, with Party Til Dawn with a blog and Instagram share. Recapping our girlfriend’s “work and play” girl’s trip. We had the pleasure of combining work and play for a fun Girl’s weekend. Shopping, Hair, nails or a spa day, wine tasting, watching a movie, and dining are always delightful on a girl’s trip in Kirkland, Washington.

What to Wear and Do on a Girl’s Trip to Seattle (a suburb of Seattle) Kirkland, Washington.

Shop my Travel look below:

A little look back at my girl’s weekend with Dawn. We stayed at the beautiful Heathman Hotel in Kirkland, WA. Located just a block from Lake Washington and surrounded by great restaurants and shopping, it is a must-stay when you visit! You are also just minutes away from Shop Totem Lake. The Heathman has a beautiful lobby to cozy up next to the fire with a cup of coffee to start your day. And an excellent onsite restaurant and bar where we shared appetizers and drinks after a long work day.

Shop Totem Lake in Washington is the sister shopping center to Utah’s Station Park, which Dawn and I work with regularly on content creation. Dawn features Totem lake often, and I feature Station Park. We have now had the pleasure of working with each other at our locations while combining work and Play with a girl’s trip.

This bakery and coffee house had the best croissants (like I was in Paris, and I am not joking). So good I took a box home for the guys. Everything we tried, we loved. Isn’t that one of your favorite things to do while traveling? Trying out and tasting the foods.

WOODINVILLE WINE COUNTRY

Yes, Seattle has a wine culture; who knew? Dawn and I met one of Dawn’s followers, Karin, for this fun experience. (now Karin and I follow each other and chat via dm daily) Another fun part of our job is building relationships that turn into friendships. We had a fun day experiencing three different wineries, tasting three wines per winery owned and created by women.

5 Steps to Throwing the Perfect Galentines Party

5 Steps to Throwing the Perfect Galentines

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, and there is something so fun about celebrating the friendships in your life by having a Galentine’s party. So today I am sharing 5 Steps to Throwing the Perfect Galentines Party. With items to decorate from Walmart that are so festive and affordable. Along with a couple of outfits, ideas I think you’ll love.

What is Galentine’s Day

Galentine’s Day is an unofficial holiday celebrated on February 13th. The holiday was made popular by the TV series Parks and Recreation and celebrated female friendships and relationships, especially if you don’t have a significant other. Galentine’s Day involves women honoring the important ladies in their lives through gift exchanges, dinners, gatherings, spa days, and more. It’s a great time to show appreciation for the strong bonds between women!

5 Steps to Throwing the Perfect Galentines:

1. Set the Scene: Decorations, snacks, and atmosphere are essential (see my picks above)

2. Pick Your Guests: Invite your best gals for a night of laughter, stories, and fun.

3. Plan an Activity: Whether you watch a movie together or play a game, choose something everyone will enjoy!

4. Honor Each Other: Give thoughtful cards or gifts to show each other how much they mean to you.

5. Serve food & drinks: Serve decadent treats like chocolate-dipped strawberries or heart-shaped cookies. Or Wow them with a chocolate fondu Charcutier board! Easy to put together and looks so festive. Really Celebrate your friendship over a delicious meal!

Winter Casual Outfit Inspirations

Happy Monday, Pretty Ladies🌸

Need a little causal outfit inspiration? I thought I would share what I have worn lately. Several of these outfits are what I wore to the hospital while caring for my mom. I needed outfits that were comfortable, easy to wear, warm, and still looked put together. Hospitals are cold, so layers are great. Being comfortable was also essential for extended stays as well.

What I wore last week….Fit these criteria.

Cold winter weather looks… Layered up✔️ from leggings, flares, and skinny jeans…. This a little inspiration to shop your closet and see what you can create from what you have…

Chico’s Cashmere & cotton blend loungewear set. (fi s true to size) Paired with New balance tennis shoes and Free People coat

Pact leggings, Cami & sweatshirt, fits true to size. Cote of London puffer vest with cap sleeve, Free people jacket, cashmere wrap by Chico’s as a scarf, New York cap, and New Balance tennis shoes.

Banana Republic straight-leg with wide cuff, One of my go-to jeans lately, Easy to pair with anything from a sweater to a button-up with a blazer. You’ll love them too (fit true to size). Today, I’ve paired them with a Loft Ski Sweater (both on sale) layered with another closet must-have, the Faux leather vest by Chico’s, and finished with Platform loafers.

Easy and comfy Leggings paired with Free people’s sweater make for the perfect winter weekend outfit.

Amazon sweater, Mother’s jeans, Old navy plaid coat, and can you believe Walmart winter boots? Easy look that makes for great wardrobe builders, with a little added statement piece. These are pieces you’ll find yourself grabbing over and over.
